Fighters.com heavyweight champion āThe Last Emperorā Fedor Emelianenko (31-1) still isnāt signed to fight ninth-ranked āVai Cavaloā Fabricio Werdum (12-4-1) at Strikeforce in San Jose in June, according to Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker speaking to MMA Weekly Radio.
The Emelianenko-Werdum matchup was originally scheduled for April 17 in Nashville, then briefly May 15 in St. Louis, and is now tentative for San Jose in June.
āWe have a date in June on hold for him, and weāre hoping we work things out where he can come fight that fight,ā Coker told MMA Weekly Radio. āI wish I could give you more details, but I really canāt talk about the minutia of the whole negotiation with M-1, but Iām hoping we can still do that.ā
