Strikeforce today (Nov. 2) held a media conference call with heavyweight attractions Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers to promote their upcoming trip to the outskirts of Chicago when the promotion storms the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, for its live CBS prime time broadcast on Nov. 7.
Strikeforce: “Fedor vs. Rogers” will feature a main event between former PRIDE and WAMMA heavyweight champion, Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko trying to quell the undefeated uprising of Brett “The Grim” Rogers in a bid to determine who will challenge Alistair Overeem for the heavyweight strap in 2010.
In addition, “Bully Beatdown” star and DREAM veteran Jason “Mayhem” Miller will take on former Elite XC welterweight champion Jake Shields for the vacant Strikeforce middleweight title.
Rising star Gegard Mousasi will also appear, taking on hard-hitting Rameau Thierry Skoudjou in a non-title affair while Fabricio Werdum looks to go 2-0 for the promotion against former Elite XC heavyweight champ Antonio “Junior” Silva.
Here is a brief recap and highlights of noteworthy items coming out of today’s call:
