The “Strikeforce and M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Henderson” main event could mean the end of the line for Fedor Emelianenko.
“[The Emelianenko vs. Henderson] fight is really two legends in the sport of MMA,” Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “Pound-for-pound, these two are really on the all-time list of greatest fighters, ever, in their respective weightclasses.
“Fedor, anytime he fights, it’s always an event. Same thing with Dan. You have two guys that are really legends. It’s going to be a really special, special night.”
“I don’t want to judge Fedor one way or the other, but I would say having three losses in a row would diminish the value tremendously,” Coker said.
Henderson has followed the career of “The Last Emperor” over the past 10 years.
“I think the fact that it seems like his game hasn’t changed or gotten better in the last two or three years or since he left PRIDE (might be part of the issue),” Henderson said. “I don’t know. It doesn’t seem like his heart is into it the last couple of years. That changes outcomes of fights sometimes.”
