Strikeforce is targeting a Feb. 12 matchup between Fedor Emelianenko and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, but the bout is still not a done deal, according to sources in Strikeforce as well as Emelianenko’s camp.
The bout, which was first reported by Sherdog, is the intended direction if Strikeforce and Emelianenko’s M-1 management agency can finalize a new deal.
A source in Emelianenko’s camp told MMA Fighting that it was likely that Emelianenko’s participation on the card would require that the deal be done by the end of this week, and that the two sides had several outstanding issues to deal with.
