Strikeforce and M-1 Global are very close to completing their partnership. The two organizations will be co-promoting events together, and most importantly enabling the return of Fedor Emelianenko!

Scott Coker (CEO Strikeforce) said that an event headlining Fedor Emelianenko was expected for this June. Fedor is allegedly going to be matched up against Fabricio Werdum, an old friend from Pride FC.

The M-1 & Strikeforce combo have already had a taste of success together with their November event featuring Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rodgers, over 4 million people watched it live on CBS.
