Strikeforce CEO, Scott Coker has today been speaking about the rumoured clash between formerly ranked number one fighter on the planet, Fedor Emelianenko and the promotions light heavyweight champion, Dan Henderson, explaining it’s nowhere near a done deal yet but he’s working his socks off to make it happen. Speaking via MMAWeekly.com, Coker said:
“That fight is not confirmed, it’s not by any means. I would say let’s be cautious on how we frame that up. If that’s the $25 million dollar question, I would say until it’s finished, it’s never done. You know how many things can possibly go wrong in trying to get that fight together. We’re doing our best, but the devil’s in the details. When you have a fight of that quality at that catchweight, it’s like I said, the details are always the challenges in that.”
“How could anybody not want to see that fight? You’ve got Dan who’s just going to bring it, and you’ve got Fedor who’s just going to bring it. I’m working really hard to try to make that happen.”
The fight is rumoured for the Strikeforce event in July, an event that could see former light heavyweight champion, Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal battle renowned Jiu-Jitsu expert, Roger Gracie in the co-main event of the evening. Stay tuned to MMABay for more on this fight and more as we get it.
