Everyone wants a piece of you when you're winning.

Whitehorse MMA fighter Miller Rogers learned this first hand after winning his amateur debut bout at WarPath in Chilliwack, B.C., at the beginning of the month.

After defeating counterpart Allen "Little Bear” George in the second round, Rogers was approached to fight in Caged Rage 5 to be held in Castlegar, B.C., Oct 15.

Rogers was told to take a week to think about it.

He accepted on the spot.

"I didn't get hurt in my fight. I'm still in good shape from my last one, so I went with it,” Rogers said.

Whitehorse-based Avalanche MMA club coaches Cliff Schultz, T.J. Woodman and fighter Stefan Brynjolfsson also won their bouts in Chilliwack, but neither has confirmed stepping into the cage in Castlegar.

"I know we were all offered one,” Rogers said.

"Two of them turned it down, and (Schultz) is seeing if he will be ready for it.

"Cliff is going to be coming down with me, if he's fighting or not, just for moral support.”

For Rogers, the decision to accept his next bout following a win was a no-brainer.

"It was awesome. I love the feeling of fighting. When he told us pretty much right after the fights, it was just awesome. We must have been doing something right.”

Indeed.

Yukoners went four-for-four in Chilliwack on a card that featured eight bouts.

But no performance is perfect.

One hundred per cent confident he would win his debut bout, Rogers is more humble while preparing for his second fight.

"I'm maybe a little less confident. I know 100 per cent confident was a little over the top. But I feel great. And like I say, he has to be training as much as I am to be at the same level I am, and I know I train a lot,” he said of his six-days-a-week schedule with the Avalanche MMA club.

"With MMA fighting, it's a sport, people respect each other and it's really cool to see every fighter after their fights give each other handshakes and hugs, saying, ‘Good fight.' For the most part they're just normal guys that have the same passion for the same sport you do.”

Over the next month, the 20-year-old will work on keeping his hands moving, a skill he failed to master from nerves during his first fight.

"I don't want to get stuck like I did in the last one where my hands just wouldn't move and I couldn't do anything. So I'm going to be working on light sparring, just keeping my hands going, working what I actually want to work with,” Rogers said.

Rogers expects he'll be calmer the second time around because he'll have a better idea of what he'll face.

"Now it's just going to be me going out there and just doing what I know how to do. I think I'll be a little less stressed out, just because I know exactly what's going to be happening and know the feelings already.”

While he'll have a better idea where he stands in the ring, he won't know who he's fighting until late in the training game, which was the case leading up to his debut.

"It doesn't really matter at this level, unless he's some crazy good fighter or something like that,” Rogers said.

"But for me it doesn't really matter.

"I know exactly what I can do and I know where I stand with what I can do. I'm comfortable if he's a good stand-up fighter, I'm comfortable taking him down.”
