During his Strikeforce debut on CBS Fedor recently defeated Brett Rogers (his 27th straight win). Werdum’s recent wins include the likes of Mike Kyle and Antonio Silva.
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!
