Cornered and poked with sharp sticks by media for the past several days, one of Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker’s bigger admissions was his intention to work with Japan’s Dream promotion to assemble fights, a step that could conceivably open up possibilities for Fedor Emelianenko beyond Strikeforce’s stateside roster of challengers.
According to a press release just detonated by Strikeforce public relations, consensus No. 1 heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko has signed a multi-fight deal with the San Jose-based company: his first fight is scheduled to air in the fall, live on Showtime.
"Strikeforce is a top fight promotion that houses some of the greatest fighters in the world," Emelianenko said in a statement. "I am prepared to fight any of them." Of course he is. What else would he say?
The release takes care to point out that these “mega-events” will be “co-promoted” by both Strikeforce and M-1 Global, satisfying M-1 chief Vadim Finkelstein’s need for taking a percentage stake in the event financials.
