Fedor Emelianenko says he will fight in the end of June
Apr.28, 2010 in Strikeforce News
“It could have been a huge honor for me to fight Yoshida in his retirement fight. I know that he wanted to fight me, but I could not accept his challenge because of my hand injury [...] We made a decision that my next fight will be against Fabricio Werdum, sometime in the end of June.”
Strikeforce’s “end of June” event is scheduled to take place at HP Pavilion in San Jose, California, on June 26. Fedor Emelianenko was originally scheduled to fight Fabricio Werdum on April 17th as a headliner of the stacked Strikeforce: Nashville event, but the promotion had to postpone the bout due to the contractual dispute with M-1 Global.
