Leverage is fantastic for as long as you have it. When Harrison Ford can open a movie consistently, he can grab as many huge checks and obnoxious trailer perks he likes. But when a film tanks, that goes out the window.
Fedor Emelianenko bombed big-time against Fabricio Werdum in June. Call it a fluke or a careless mistake — and it’s probably a little of both — but he blew it, took his whole cyborg routine and wiped it clean.
OK. Fine. Rematch Werdum. Can’t do it because Werdum is injured? No big deal. Fight Alistair Overeem or Antonio Silva instead. But Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker claims that Overeem and Silva are fighting each other in the fall.
It is at this point we should begin to consider the idea that Emelianenko is officially more trouble than he’s worth.
