Fedor Next Fight in March 2010 - Maybe Alistair Overeem

Heavy.com has learned Fedor Emelianenko's next fight is scheduled for March 2010. Fedor's manager, Vadim Finkelchtein, has confirmed that Fedor will not be attending DREAM's New Years show this year. The two candidates in discussion for the March showdown are Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum. There is particular interest in Overeem since agreements with Strikeforce have already been arranged.

There has been rumors around Overeem use of steroids. Vadim Finkelchtein, Fedor's manager, has said they don't want to rush things and will give the opponent adequate time to pass the appropriate testing.

this fight should be great! I'm kind of scared for Fedor, I personally think Overeem and Lesnar are currently the only two people who pose a threat to him.

What do you guys think, who has a better chance, Werdum or Overeem?

UFC vs WAMMA

Tacx0911 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:41:28 GMT

Should the UFC co-promote this will be my Dream Card

MAIN CARD
HW = Fedor vs Brock
LHW = Machida vs Mousasi
MW = Silva vs Hendo (assuming he does not re-sign in the UFC)
WW = GSP vs Eddie alvarez
LW = BJ Penn vs Aoki

UNDERCARD
HW = Cain Velasquez vs Aleks Emelienenko
LHW = Shogun vs King Mo
MW = Marquardt vs Cung Le

Mousasi OWNS the LHW Division

The_Sandman — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:47:42 GMT

After destroying Bablu and beating-up Sokoudjou....

Who in the LHW Division is legit-threat to Mousasi and his LHW title? :confused02:

The only guys that StrikeForce has to offer is Mike Whitehead, Kevin Randleman and Scott Lighty :confused:. No disrespect to those guys, but come on.... I do not believe that any of those dudes stands even a "punchers-chance," against Mousasi.

I heard rumors that Dan Henderson might come to StrikeForce :thumbsup:... That would be a huge match-up for StrikeForce if Hendo and Mousasi fought. (I still think Mousasi would win)
But what if Hendo does not come over???

What about King Mo??
I heard Mo might debut at Heavyweight, but that does not mean he cannot come to down in weight to face "The Dreamcatcher." That would be a fight for the ages.

What do YOU think?

Lashley and StrikeForce

The_Sandman — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:52:50 GMT

What's the deal on Bobby Lashley??:confused02:

I heard rumors that he was coming to StrikeForce and would compete in the heavyweight division....

If this is true... I think Lashley would be a good come-up for the HW division. He would match-up pretty good against Antonio Silva, Fabricio Werdum or Brett Rodgers.

Does anybody know anything?

King Mo: "My debut might be at heavyweight"

betii — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:51:54 GMT

King Mo says he's not racists; talks Strikeforce debut at heavyweight?

Quote:

On recent comments about him being a racist...

"Yeah, I got some emails after that Strikeforce post-event interview I did with MMAFanhouse. I got a few emails from people saying I'm racist and then my brother and my training partner called me about comments that people were saying about me. They said people calling me a gorilla and saying this and that about me. I asked my boy, Daniel Cormier, to go check it out because I haven't seen it for myself, but he was like, 'Yeah, they bashing you.' He said, 'I don't know why, but they just talking bad about you saying that you are a racist.'"

"Alright, check this out. My head coach is white; check! My boxing coach is Mexican; check! My Kickboxing coach is Filipino; check! And my Jiu Jitsu coaches, one is from Brazil and one from South America. Man I train with people from all over. One of my Kickboxing sparring partners is from Thailand and another one is from Russia; check! I got someone from every continent dog, except Africa, and my boy Peter Graham is from Australia. My boy Conrad, I used to wrestle with him, he from South America. I got every continent except Africa and Antarctica. I'm cool as hell with Evan Shoman, the artist, and he Jewish."

On his Strikeforce debut...

"Mayne, you don't understand. I'm ready dog. I'm ready to do this, fight on Showtime and represent Dallas, Texas. I'm just ready to do my thang because it's about time I showcase my skills to the United States on cable TV."

"I don't know who it's going to be or at what weight to be honest. I heard Mike Whitehead and a couple of other names, but I'm not for sure yet. My debut might be at heavyweight. I'll go up there; I'm just trying to find a fight."

On the Fedor vs. Rogers fight...

"Here is the thing. Brett Rogers was doing well with the jab while he was moving and Fedor couldn't find him with that big right hand. The thing is Fedor usually could move better than the guys he is fighting, but it's different when he is fighting a guy with a good jab and could move. Arlovski could move somewhat and was giving him angles and he gave him problems. If you could move, you could give Fedor problems."

Cung Le and the Middleweight Title

The_Sandman — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:05:47 GMT

Cung Le is scheduled to fight Scott Smith next month, and has plans to fight 2 more times next year.

Assuming Le beats Smith...
Do you think the fight between Le and Shields will finally happen or do you think Le will aviod the Middlweight title, and just try to pile up some easy wins??? :confused02:

Bonnar426 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:17:22 GMT

....but why hasn't Strikeforce stripped Alistair Overeem of the HW title let? Its pushing two years since he won that title and he has let to defend it!

Fedor Emelianenko vs Brett Rogers - the video

mmajudo — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:58:52 GMT

Hi fans, here is the video of great fight : Fedor Emelianenko vs Brett Rogers
What do you think about the next fight of Fedor ? It should be settled within the Strikeforce promotion, but is there really any fighter left ? I don't think that the UFC + Strikeforce would be possible right now. But we also don't want to watch boring fights against some lower level warriors...

Fedor Emelianenko: "I Still Have Gaps in My Techniques, Skills... We're All Human"

Xerxes — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:54:09 GMT

"I still have some gaps in my techniques, in my skills, and that’s why my trainers press me hard to work hard and improve. In spite of the fact that they try to work me hard and make my game perfect, I still, in some places, I look a little bit clumsy."

"I am the way that I am, but I always remember that the harder a person gets, the more it hurts to fall down. That’s why I think about all the results (that come from) what I do in a calm way. Also, I try to treat all people the same way. We’re all human beings, with two arms, two legs and all of us are equal in front of God."

bloodyelbow

Fedor is the man.

I'm sure he'll look much better in his next fight.

Dana: "No One Out There Gives A [expletive] About Fedor�

snakerattle79 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:18:55 GMT

http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slu...yhoo&type=lgns

�CBS made its biggest mistake partnering with a tiny, small show with a roster no one cares about,� said Dana White. �Just because you read on MMA.TV that someone is a superstar doesn�t make it true. This should prove that no one out there gives a [expletive] about Fedor.�

�We�re pulling those numbers on Spike,� White said. �I mean, how the [expletive] is what they did considered any good in any way, shape or form? What kind of numbers do you think we would pull with a live show on CBS? I�ll tell you. Huge. It would be significantly, significantly more than what they got with these idiots from Showtime.�
