Multiple sources close to negotiations today told MMAjunkie.com that Strikeforce has earmarked July 30 for a major
Showtime-televised event, putting on hold plans for a pay-per-view
event.
However, a heavyweight superfight between Fedor Emelianenko and current
Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion Dan Henderson, which has been
rumored as the headliner to a potential pay-per-view card, is still in
advanced negotiations and could headline the late summer event.
The
Sears Centre in suburban Chicago has surfaced as one possible locale.
