When UFC President Dana White criticizes Fedor Emelianenko's decision to fight on M-1 Global and Strikeforce co-promoted cards instead of fighting in the UFC, he likes to say it's proof that Fedor doesn't want to fight the best on a consistent basis. Specifically, White says:read more

By Chart Topper Interestingly, Arlovski, who is coming off a pair of knockout losses this year to Fedor Emelianenko in January and Brett Rogers in June, could have fought on the Fedor vs. Rogers card this past weekend. Arlovski was offered Mike Whitehead, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (Whitehead and Sokoudjou would have moved up in weight) and finally Antonio Silva, but parties could not agree to the matchups. This December, former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski (15-7) will make his MMA return with Strikeforce or as part of the Sengoku or Dynamite!! 2009 on New Year’s Eve shows in Japan. FanHouse has learned that Arlovski’s management has been in discussions with the aforementioned organizations and Arlovski is currently training to potentia...   [read the full post]

By Tim Ngo Another possible match for Fedor would be with the recently victorious Fabricio Werdum. It was Werdum who was supposed to be next in line for a UFC heavyweight title shot before he got derailed by Junior dos Santos at UFC 90, abruptly ending his tenure with the world’s biggest MMA organiza...

By Josh Nason Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers This marks a big step up in competition for Brett Rogers, almost too much if you look at the numbers. Can he overcome it like he did with Andrei Arlovski or fall prey to that which is Fedor? Middleweight Title: Jake Shields vs. Jason "Mayhem" Miller

By Kris Karkoski Lindland (21-6) left the UFC in 2005 following back-to-back wins and has since gone 6-3, but has dropped two of his last three.

By Chart Topper On Friday Kevin Iole from Yahoo! Sports wrote an article stating former UFC and Pride Champ Dan Henderson (25-7) was on the verge of signing with the Strikeforce organization. Contract negotiations have stalled between Henderson and the UFC, which has probably helped to spark the rumor mill. UFC president Dana White said that “We have a good relationship with Henderson, and there are no hard feelings. He had a figure he believed he was worth, and we had our own figure, and we weren’t able to get together.” Henderson himself was contacted by MMAWeekly.com and laughed off the Strikeforce rumors. Henderson will be attending the Nov. 7 event but admitted he would be going as a guest and not as the latest Strikeforce fighter.   [read the full post]

By Dave Walsh Vadim Finkelstein: Fedor believes his opponent is a top fighter, a knockout artist. One should overestimate his opponent. Fedor respects him as a fighter. He’s in a serious training camp now preparing diligently for the November, 7 fight.

Shane Del Rosario vs. Brandon Cash "Money" and Luke Rockhold vs. Jesse "JT Money" Taylor have been added to the November 6th Strikeforce Challengers show in Fresno. I think that place is too small for two men named MONEY. Mickey Rourke, unlike Dana White, refuses to apologize for a gay slur.

By Chart Topper I was doubting if I’m doing a UFC chapter in my blog, my first thought was no because I’m not a UFC fighter but on the other hand a lot of people ask me the question ‘when are you going to the UFC?’. I know that the best fighters in my weight fight in the UFC but I’m still young and very happy with Strikeforce as a company. I’ve signed a contract with them and I will fight the fights they give me. Recently crowned Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi (26-2-1) posted an update on his status on the M-1 Global website. In the blog he talks about training, Strikeforce, the UFC, M-1 Global, and the Nov. 7 main event between Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers.

By Darren Wong UFC Stephan Bonnar vs. Mark Coleman was another war, if not the most fast-paced one. Coleman can't beat a good jiu jitsu fighter with any sort of gas tank. The UFC is doing a good job of building Dan Henderson back up for a rematch against Anderson Silva.  Does Dan have a chance? Yes.

Dave, Thumbs up Best Cyborg/Carano Worst none I thought Strikeforce really dropped the ball on Fedor tonight.
