Strikeforce heavyweight fighter Fedor Emelianenko (21-2) currently has one fight left on his current deal. Strikeforce President Scott Coker recently spoke to the New York Daily News and said he feels “good” that Emelianenko will re-sign:
“As everybody knows we have a negotiation ongoing with M-1 right now, and I wish I had a simple answer, but it’s an ongoing negotiation. I feel good about it, I feel good about the negotiations. Whether you’re dealing with Dream, or you’re dealing with M-1, or any foreign company there’s always a translation issue, and there’s always a cultural issue, and there’s just a lot of barriers that will come. We’re trying to navigate through the waters and get a fair deal for everybody.”
