Coker confirmed plans for Fedor’s return on the promotion’s next CBS event, slated for sometime in mid-to-late April.
It’s not confirmed… (but) on that fight card, you’ll most likely see Fedor fighting Fabricio (Werdum), he revealed. It’s not guaranteed, but you will see Dan Henderson fighting on that card, and Gina Carano, we’ll invite her if she’s ready.
Henderson’s opponent hasn’t been finalized yet either, but he is expected to challenge current middleweight champion Jake Shields under the watchful eye of CBS.
Coker also has big plans outside of the April fight card, particularly in the lightweight division. He intends to expand on Strikeforce’s relationship with Japanese fight promotion Dream.
First up are bouts for Gilbert Melendez and Josh Thomson, who had another battle in their rematch on Saturday night.
(Shinya) Aoki and Gilbert and do (Tatsuya) Kawajiri vs. Thomson, said Coker, mapping the road for his two top 155ers, intending to pit them against two other top lightweights in the world.
