Fabricio Werdum recently stated that he’ll be looking for a “tune-up fight” outside of Strikeforce before returning to the Strikeforce cage against either Fedor Emelianenko or Alistair Overeem.

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.

Fedor’smanager Vadim Finkelstein indicated, Fedor might participate in a “tune-up fight” of his own. “We are also looking for one fight before we’d like the re-match with Werdum. However, the rematch is extremely important for us; Fedor should have a chance to avenge his loss.”

So, it looks like if both camps execute their plans, Fedor and Werdum will have a rematch approximately in mid-2011.
