Fedor Signs With Strikeforce

After last week's negotiations with the UFC failed due to co-promoting demands, Fedor Emelianenko has instead signed a multi-fight deal with the UFC's biggest competitor, Strikeforce.

The organization today announced it has signed Emelianenko (30-1) to a multi-fight deal that will have him fight under the Strikeforce banner in events co-headlined M-1 Global. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

No specific date has been determined for his first Strikeforce fight, but Emelianenko will make his promotional debut this fall on Showtime, according to today's announcement.

"I am looking forward to going back to work and fighting at the highest level," Emelianenko stated. "Strikeforce is a top fight promotion that houses some of the greatest fighters in the world. I am prepared to fight any of them."
:sad:

Figured he'd end up with Strikeforce. Was the only org left that made sense.

I couldn't care less anymore

Not surprising, but a little disappointing. It's only 3 fights so hopefully they'll bring in some big dogs to face him. I'd love to watch Fedor stomp Overeem.

I like this Dana quote about M-1 wanting to co-promote:

Quote:
“It’s like Brett Favre negotiating with one of the football teams and saying, yeah, I’m gonna be your 50-percent partner. It’s like, what?”

I'm looking forward to seeing him fight.

I'm looking forward to him fighting too. Wonder who he's gonna fight?

I find it hard to belive that Strikeforce can pay him any real cash.. over the UFC wallet at least.. got to be the M1-Global addtion..
