Fedor v Werdum - Confirmed!

http://mmajunkie.com/news/18986/m-1-global-strikeforce-come-to-terms-fedor-emelianenko-vs-fabricio-werdum-set-for-june-26.mma|||Nice to see the great man fight again, but to be honest he should be fighting Overeem for the belt, or Barnett, or in the UFC taking on Lesner, Couture, Velasquez, JDS etc.. not wasting his time with ( no disrespect at all to werdum, who i actually like ) Fabricio Werdum, who we know he is better than..
While i'm one of Fedor's biggest fans,.. this match up doesnt excite me.|||

I think Fedor should fight Overeem for the title and Rogers should fight Werdum for the next No.1 contender or something along those lines.|||

i think the same, but M1 global thinks that overeem hasnt fought anyone lately and "he doesnt deserve" a shot against fedor, even though he's the man with the belt around his waist :)|||Not really too excited over this fight although it will be nice to see Fedor in action again. More interested in the outcome of Reem vs Rogers actually.
As someone said on Sherdog, all the contract * really takes away from Fedor's mystique. I couldnt agree more.|||I am really looking forward to this fight, Tis is a fight both fighters need to win. Fedor wins he gets a title shot. If :) Werdum wins he is proven himself and will see better fights.|||Who's guard is more dangerous? Werdum or prime Nog? Think Fedor will sit in Werdum's or stand and trade?|||I think it will be a fight kinda like Fedor vs Rogers.|||Yeah, I can see a little bit of everything happening. That's the thing about Fedor, regardless of what else you think about him, he's not afraid to go with the flow and take the fight wherever. He won't be scared to go to the ground because the guy is a BJJ world champ, he's too much of a bassa$$.|||Looks like Werdum new name is going to be Werdone :)|||what a waste of a fight, this is just sad that Fedor is fighting Werdum while Rogers fights for the belt. SF is so screwed up right now.|||M1 are right about Overeem though, Werdum is the better fighter on paper.
I would have liked to see Fedor get the belt, but I think Strikeforce took their opportunity to finally get Overeem back in the ring and defend his title, and Fedor just wasn't available due to his contract issues.
I pretty much expect all of Fedor's opponent's to get destroyed at this point, I can't really think of anyone that wouldn't be a heavy underdog to Fedor, so Werdum, to me, is as good a name for Fedor's resume as anybody. Plus, Werdum has that unavenged victory over Aleksander, so I think there is an interesting dynamic there.|||

Did you read what Fedor said about that lol.


"It has been a while since I have submitted a blog for you but I am back. Over the past few months I have been spending time with my family, traveling (we just came back from Japan with Marina and some friends), attending various events, and of course training.
Today I am happy to announce that I am going to fight Fabricio Werdum at the HP Pavillion in San Jose, California on the 26th of June! The fight will be live on Showtime. I finally have a chance to stand across the cage from the man who beat my brother, and to make that loss right.
I would also like to thank the people who take the time to email and send me messages. There are many, so my apologies if it takes me time to respond. All I want to do is to fight, and now I once again have that opportunity.
My training continues and I look forward to the fight. I will keep you updated over the coming weeks."

Poor Werdum..|||^ Do you think Fedor actually writes the blog? I'm not that convinced. Then again it obviously has to be translated so that's maybe why it sounds so formal.|||


^ Do you think Fedor actually writes the blog? I'm not that convinced. Then again it obviously has to be translated so that's maybe why it sounds so formal.

Noo I cant even imagine Fedor behind a computer. But he probably put down a couple of words that some dude then again put on the net for him. I think it has already been translated, I think the page is in russian.
