Fedor, M-1 and Strikeforce – Deep Inside the Last Emperor’s Fortress
Will Fedor return and fight for Strikeforce this summer? Ask Evgeni...
Shadowy figures are working to complete contract negotiations which would signal the return of the number one heavyweight in MMA to the cage – but there is yet still no date for his return.
Evgeni Kogan, M-1 Global’s Director of Operations, said:
“We were renegotiating. I think we’re pretty much at the end of that road. After the CBS show, we thought that the terms needed a little bit tweaking — nothing major, just a little bit of tweaking. So, we had a round of negotiations with Strikeforce. Everything went positively. We’re pretty much at the end.”
I think June, July is realistic (for Emelianenko’s return). It’s not 100 percent. Don’t take this as a fight announcement, but I think during the summer. Obviously, we are much more than the management company for Fedor.
For us, it’s really important that the M-1 Global brand is acknowledged on these co-promotion events. As much as the partners made a lot of effort to acknowledge the co-branding, the media basically picked up on the fact that it was Strikeforce and kind of forgot about everything else, which wasn’t the most ideal for us.”
