I think Strikeforce is going to play their cards right here. They know M1 is begging for a rematch but Strikeforces biggest bargaining chip right now is the rematch with Werdum. I think Strikeforce is going to play hardball with M1 now especially after M1 forced a renegotiation of sorts prior to the first Werdum fight and looked so bush league when Strikeforce put them in charge of the prelims.
I think it may be a REALLY long time before Fedor fights again.
Also, has it been confirmed that Fedor's next fight is his last under his current contract?
yes.. fedor's next fight is his last with strikeforce..
there is def a lot of contract negotiation going on surrounding this whole thing -
i wonder if they can get a champions clause if he fights overreem - no other way i see strikeforce letting that fight happen
prob gonna be a mess that isnt even worth following - hopefully we see fedor fight, if not, well, it wouldnt be that surprising
If I were Fedor I would be pounding down doors, demanding a rematch. Some dude chokes me out for my first MMA loss in a decade, you think I wouldn't be teeming to get back into the catch with the mother and rip him apart? Come on now. Cut through the red tape and make the fight happen. The people want to see it and Fedor, as a man and a fighter, should want it more than anything else in this world.
