In an interview with the Dutch website MixFight.NL, The Last Emperor says that Strikeforce has not made an offer of a light heavyweight bout, but that hasn’t stopped him from discussing the idea with his management.

Yes, I have talked about [dropping to 205] with my manager, Vadim Finklestein,but as far as I know there has been no offer made by Strike Force for me to fight as a light heavyweight, Emelianenko explained. It was not the size or weight advantage that caused my loss [to Silva]. Its just a fight and anything can happen. The game plan did not work out the way I wanted it to, but the weight was definitely not the reason.

When asked whom he would like to rematch if given the opportunity, Fedor was quick to reply.

It Would be Antonio Silva and Fabricio Werdum.
