Strikeforce.com report removed, Fedor Emelianenko is NOT fighting Anderson Silva or Georges St. Pierre
Posted on July 11, 2011, 09:54 AM by Anton GurevichMMA fans around the world woke-up this morning to a shocking news, as a report on Strikeforce.com announced that "The Last Emperor" Fedor Emelianenko will fight the UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva "sometime after UFC 134".
Well, not really.
The "article" was quickly removed by Strikeforce webmasters, to the disappointment of those who believed Fedor is finally going to make his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut. Bogus article also suggested that Georges St. Pierre will move up to Middleweight to face the winner of Fedor-Silva.
Our good friends over at BloodyElbow.com were quick enough to capture the original:
A dream super-fight is now a reality.
Fedor Emelianenko, who is now walking around at 215lbs, will be moving over to the UFC brand after his July 30th bout with Dan Henderson. Emelianenko's first fight will be none other than UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva.
The fight will take place sometime after UFC 134, which is headlined by Anderson Silva as he takes on Yushin Okami. Emelianenko vs Silva will likely take place at 205lbs. However, Fedor Emelianenko will beundergoing a test-cut after his fight with Dan Henderson. His management has agreed that if he can make the cut to 185lbs without much trouble and if Anderson Silva defeats Yushin Okami, then Fedor Emelianenko vs Anderson Silva will be contested at 185lbs and will be for the UFC Middleweight Championship.
Georges St. Pierre may also be in the mix if he is able to defeat UFC 137 opponent, Nick Diaz. If St. Pierre decides to move up to middleweight, he will be fighting the winner of Anderson Silva and Fedor Emelianenko.

BULLSHIT !
if someone hacked the site he should get troll of the year award
I don't see how else this could have happened, so give them that award.
u were gonna just leave it there?
any1 with half a brain can figure out that this is fake. They could have atleast come up with something more believable like overeem coming over to fight cain
That isn't believable either, Overeem is still in the Grand Prix.
ROFL!!!!!!!!
literally cant stop laughing lmao
...imagine if you heard a real joke
This article has one mistake tho. Bob sapp was supposed to fight the winner of Fedor-silva. Makes more sense.
Андерсон Сильва удет на пенсию после боя с Федором
Is it possible to track this idiot down and get Anderson and Fedor to personally beat his ass?
Just saying...
O yea cause fedor is a beast right....wrong. Look at who he has fought in his last couple of fights then look at andersons. Big difference right.
Yeah, Sonnen and Leites are SOOOO amazing.
Obvious but too bad. AS is the only person below HW I would be interested in seeing Fedor fight.
April Fools?
