Fedor Emelianenko vs. Fabricio Werdum is "almost certain" for April

Strikeforce Heavyweight contender and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert Fabricio Werdum confirmed in his latest interview to TATAME.com that he is scheduled to fight Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko sometime in April. Werdum stated that the fight against Fedor is "99% sure", and it will take place probably on April 16th.

Apparently Strikeforce failed to find a way for Alistair Overeem to fight in United States, and Fabricio Werdum is the only legit opponent that Strikeforce can suggest to Fedor. Former UFC fighter Fabricio Werdum is currently 13-4 in his Mixed Martial Arts career, with notable victories over Gabriel Gonzaga and Alistair Overeem.



Even tho i dont really watch strikforce i think Fedor will crush him

I like Werdum and I would like to see this fight, but I don't see him having any chance at all of beating Fedor.
