With much questions being asked of both Scott Coker and Vladim Finkelstien as to when Fedor Emilianenko will fight again, the big man himself confirmed on his own internet blog that he will face Fabricio Werdum as expected, on Strikeforce's June 26th card.

Speaking via his official internet blog, The Last Emperor said:

"It has been a while since I have submitted a blog for you but I am back. Over the past few months I have been spending time with my family, traveling (we just came back from Japan with Marina and some friends), attending various events, and of course training.

Today I am happy to announce that I am going to fight Fabricio Werdum at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California on the 26th of June! The fight will be live on Showtime. I finally have a chance to stand across the cage from the man who beat my brother, and to make that loss right.

I would also like to thank the people who take the time to email and send me messages. There are many, so my apologies if it takes me time to respond. All I want to do is to fight, and now I once again have that opportunity.

My training continues and I look forward to the fight. I will keep you updated over the coming weeks.

Fedor"

As a man who needs no further introduction or description, Fedor will defend his WAMMA world heavyweight strap at the event which is expected to also feature Cung Le vs Scott Smith

    It would be awesome if he lost. We could call Werdum "The Emelianenko Hunter"

    I'm not sure Werdum is the right man for the job.

    there is no debate than emelianenko is an amazing fighter, the only thing left to debate is, is he the best ever, and the only way we can find out is if he fights the best in the UFC. i think he may well be the best ever but he can never be called that unless he fights top 5 fighters.

    when your opponents are the likes of mark hunt (record 5-6) and Choi Hong-man (record 2-3) you can be judged properly in the best ever debate.

    If he didn't have the nogueira wins on his record it would look almost ordinary.

    other than that the only impressive names are arlovski cro cop and coleman. victory over these guys hardly confirms him as the best ever.

    Boooooo........Not impressed. The only people excited to see this are the groupies that are just happy with an appearance. Someone give me a shout when the guy fights a top ten HW.

    Of course StickinUrChick is right and I agree with him, but the Fedor lovers will think the opposite.

    You won't get a "weak" reply from me because I agree completely. I love how they add that he is putting his belt on the line! Whoop de doo! No offense to Fedor but there are so many HW's I'd love to see him fight, and Werdum is just not one of them.

    I just want to see Fedor fight the best the world has to offer, like everyone else, that's all. It's common sense. It's a shame that money, politics, and all the other BS will most likely keep that from happening, and we probably won't see his true full potential before his career ends. I hope I am wrong.

    It would be nice to see Fedor out cold on his back or atleast submitted, but Werdum is not the right man for the job.

    LOL Yeah, 4 years ago. Who has the SF belt?



    If anyone needs to prove himself it's Wedum, who barely squeezed past Bigfoot, in a fight a lot of people thought he lost.

    Who says they don't like him? You're smoking rocks.

    Any real MMA fan wants to see him fighting in a real competition. It's not hard to understand. You just see any little criticism of the guy you're obsessed about as unacceptable.

    Fedor is the real competition if you wana fight the best go to SF don't hide in UF.I bett SF HW will destroy UFC HW.SF got fighters like Lesnar Lashkley,Overeem and Rogers got more KO's than JDS and Carwin

    Man I am sorry but absolutely nothing you post makes since to me? Did u just say that Lesnar was in SF? Also did u say that the UFC fighters are hiding in the premier MMA organization? I mean like it or not, people have to admit that for now UFC is the NFL of MMA. Even if u believe for some reason that will change later....Thats like saying that NFL teams and players were hiding from the XFL's......
