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
