Strikeforce and M-1 Global are in the final stages of signing off on a revised deal that will see the two organizations co-promote additional events together in the U.S. in 2010.
When finalized, the re-bolstered business relationship will also signal the return of Fedor Emelianenko, the world’s No. 1-ranked heavyweight and M-1 represented fighter, to the Strikeforce cage as early as June, both organizations told Sherdog.com over the weekend.
I think June, July is realistic (for Emelianenko’s return), said Evgeni Kogan, M-1 Global’s Director of Operations. It’s not 100 percent. Don’t take this as a fight announcement, but I think during the summer.
