Fedor Emelianenko will in the coming week decide what
his immediate future holds in Strikeforce, according to a source close
to the fighter.
While speculation on Emelianenko’s next opponent has centered around
current heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem or a rematch with Fabricio
Werdum, the source said a contest with Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva on Dec. 4 is currently on the table for the Russian’s final
fight on his current Strikeforce contract.
Strikeforce has yet to determine a city or venue for the Dec. 4 event, and officials could not be reached for comment.
