Fedor Emelianenko vs. Dan Henderson set for July 30th

i just busted a nut

This is great news!!

Two legends of the sport will meet in the cage!

But i have mixed feelings toward who to cheer! Henderson is an awesome fighter but i just cant go against Fedor!



too bad one will loose, at least Hendo will keep his belt no matter the result. This fight will be fireworks!!

@Rigo Ya I agree...hard to pick a winner, I guess I'm going with Hendo cause hes one of my favorite fighters of all time but Fedor obviously has a really good chance at winning, its Fedor after all

lol it looks like your saying "this is good news" to "i just busted a nut"

This is why you gotta love SF they're real MMA fans that arent afraid to mix things ups. the UFC is to scared to make dream fights happen because they dont wanna hurt the fighters Rep. Strikeforce dont give a **** they give the fans what they want. Nice job!

i dont know why this is getting weaked??? it would be awesome if there were catch weights super fights in the UFC

It's getting weaked because the people who run the UFC own strikeforce as well and are clearly making a lot of the decisions. As for catchweight superfights, this is the same strikeforce that made a mess of booking Miller-Diaz. And of course, this match is officially a heavyweight bout, not a catchweight.

and clearly you didnt read the article moron, it says catch weight of 220lbs in the last paragraph. go away troll.

I watch fights, I'm a fan of MMA...I don't give a sh*t which organization...I wish people would stop bitching online, and just watch damn "fights".



...hope this fight gets nominated for fight of the year, it has all the potential to be a classic of the sport. Two legends, a great matchup...can't wait!

The ufc and strikeforce are owned by the same owners. Sorry to end ur pointless rant about the ufc

so you think that their match makers just got fired because the UFC bought them? buisness as usual amigo Coker still makes the fight decisions Dana just controls the business aspect

I definitely will be watching this one.

It will be entertaining for sure! Who's going to knock who out?!!!

neither of these guys have ever been truly knocked out, dont see that being the case when they fight eachother

hendo has never been knocked out or TKOd period, Fedor only ref stoppage in between rounds

Ya I see Fedor via sub or Hendo via decision

Love both fighters but gotta go with Dan!

i would put my money on Fedor by submission

I hope Fedor can get back on track for one more strong push at the title. Hendo is a huge challenge but if Fedor can overcome him, he'll be setting himself up nicely for the number one contender spot. If this is a catchweight bout at 220, what will be Fedor's next match? Heavyweight or Light Heavy?

Fedor's probably dipping his feet in with weight cutting and trying a cut to 220 as he's never had to do it for a fight before. It might work against him if he straight away cut to 205. Best he progressively has his body get used to the weight cut process.

I think Wanderlei Silva and Vitor Belfort did the same thing before considering cutting to 185, they each had catchweight fights at 195 before the move down.

It worked against Wand, he looked a bit sluggish, while Vitor looked great. It's only 10 pounds for Fedor, but it might make a big difference in his Cardio.

Fedor could just lose the weight, and then he wouldn't have to cut it. He could lose 10 pounds of fat and still look pudgy.

So glad to see this fight happening if strikeforce has any sense they will make this a ppv fight

WOW! Huge news. This fight is just remarkable. I'm speechless. I mean Wow!! No offense to Hendo but if Fedor loses he should retire, if he wins i just don't know, it doesn't say much. It's a great fight but it really doesn't solve Fedor problem fighting at HW. This fight is also interesting at the fact that Dan can keep it on the ground while Fedor looks for subs, and now because of the elbows it might make a differance in the fight unless Fedor can keep it standing. But both guys are super tought Antonio could not knock out fedor mounted for like 5 minutes and he outweighted him 50+ pounds, but at the same time the H-Bomb is a game changer. Fedor has only been cracked once in his fighting career. This fight is absolutely awesome and i cannot wait. Some people will agree that a Fedor fight is always going to be exciting and amazing and the outcome will be throw up in the air. Awesome.

damn, Fedor looks like a fat pig! lol

you better look at yourself....

he is a legend ... but what do you got?

Ты в зеркало смотришь иногда?

There's gonna be bombs. F bombs and H bombs.

F bombs are something else... :))

Oh sweet baby Jesus this is fantastic news.

YA BOY THIS IS GOING DOWN! For you other Lowkickers out there, remember I talked about this in a piece a while back? Man I'm so happy, I'm such a big fanboy for this match up.

I hope Fedor brings in some Olympic wrestlers into his camp to prepare for the fight, there is no shortage of great wrestlers in Russia.

WAR Fedor



WAR Hendo



Wow, I'm very excited about this match up. This has Fight of the Year written all over it. Two legends finally meet, and both are going to tear each other to shreds for our entertainment. What else can a fan ask for????

dude, megadeth behind fedor there in the picture. sick.

so is it a contracted catchweight or just a gentlemans agreement..



'Though it is expected to to be promoted as a Heavyweight fight, reports indicate that both competitors have agreed to a catchweight of 220-pounds. '



catchweights are xxxlbs-xxxlbs, not '220' which almost says they wanted the fight to be HW so they can count it towards a title run, they just agreed to come in around 220 under the table?

Kill em Hendo

I wish I could throw popcorn and tomatoes in response to this comment.



You are too delusional and blind to see that BOTH FIGHTERS WANT THIS FIGHT!



You said yourself, "both fighters want the fight", so who the hell are you to argue about it like it's a bad thing for either fighter???



Maybe if you learn proper punctuation you will be able to express things better and make some sense, but I have the feeling that punctuation is the least of your problems with those delusions.

Well... You say that Fedor is the biggest draw in all of MMA. Which is just simply not true. As much as hardcore fans acknowledge the caliber of fighter he is, he's never been a huge draw. Its sad, this I know, but true. He is just so quiet and focused, a real gentleman. So I guess not enough casual fans are attracted to a fighter without some type of drama surrounding them.

Does anyone know who actually is the biggest draw? Last I heard it was Brock, but I'm not sure if that's actually true. I would think Kimbo was up there as well. Anyone have the actual numbers?

i pick the ref by double falcon punch

This should be an amazing match... Fedor fighting someone around his own size will be much more like his earlier fights at Heavyweight. Back then there weren't many true HW's, so it really was a division for guys who were just outside 205 and didn't want to exhaust themselves cutting weight. No matter how this one goes, its automatically epic.

Russia vs USA!
