A match pitting Fedor Emelianenko against Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva at Strikeforce’s January 29 event had been proposed as a possibility by several news outlets, but it’s not going to happen, according to Strikeforce director of communications Mike Afromowitz.
Emelianenko fought just once during calendar year 2010, for a grand total of 69 seconds, losing via triangle/armbar to Fabricio Werdum.
Since then, Emelianenko’s M-1 representatives have been engaged in contract extension talks with Strikeforce in hopes of a new deal, but the sides have been unable to reach terms. Emelianenko has one bout remaining on his current deal.
