Few gave Bowling a chance as Bailey, who later appeared on TUF 13 and fought 3 times for the UFC, was more experienced with a solid wrestling background. Bowling made quick work of Bailey knocking him out in the 1st round.

Since that victory Roger has competed for a Cincinnati based promotion where he was undefeated which included a victory a devastating knockout victory over IFL veteran Seth Baczynski in only 9 seconds in March 2009. In July 2009 he made quick work of Devon Plaisance and signed with Strikeforce later that same year.

Bowling made his Strikeforce debut at Strikeforce Challengers 8 on May 21, 2010 in Portland, Oregon by defeating Bobby Voelker by unanimous decision in an exciting fight that ended on an accidental eye poke. While he eventually lost 2 of 3 in the Voelker vs. Bowling trilogy, Bowling has bounced back from both losses in defeating Josh Thornburg by decision at Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson in Columbus, OH on March 5, 2011 and Jerron Peoples by 1st round KO at Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal on December 17, 2011 in San Diego, California, to improve to 3-2 under the Strikeforce banner.
