You can even argue that Hendo and Fedor are some of the most decorated Martial Artists to have ever lived.

Report: Fedor Emelianenko and Fabricio Werdum likely to meet in mid-2011?

Fabricio Werdum recently stated that he’ll be looking for a “tune-up fight” before returning to the Strikeforce cage, against either Fedor Emelianenko or Alistair Overeem. And in light of Vadim Finkelstein’s constant statements about having a rematch against Fabricio Werdum as main priority for Fedor Emelianenko’s management, I decided to ask M-1 Global for a comment.
