    Nevermind that the live gate and merchandise sales at Strikeforce's last event were pitiful... M-1 is going to bully Strikeforce into doing what they want. Without Mousasi, Emelianenko is the only leverage they have as "partners". So he plays on their terms no matter how much it fucks up Strikeforce's plans.

    Re: M-1 says Fedor is fighting in May, Strikeforce April CBS card in doubt?

    Though this CBS show has been rumoured for months, the only reason we've heard for Fedor's non-involvement is that he doesn't have time for a training camp, which is nonsense. The reasons for the delay are known only to Fedor and his exploiters--er--managers.

    Which is all secondary to the fact that Werdum is still a shit opponent.

    Hopefully the Strikeforce show goes on as planned in April. Fedor can wait.

    Strikeforce on showtime in april, CBS in May, with Fedor. That would be sick.

    Update: sounds like (perhaps due to the recent loss of Mousasi) M-1 is already trying to renegotiate Fedor's contract. As such he may not fight in May either.

    People wonder why the UFC couldn't get a deal done...
