All the betting lines and discussion may say otherwise, but Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker believes the June 26 fight between Fedor Emelianenko and Fabricio Werdum will be a lot closer than people think.
How close? Enough apparently that Coker would not be “shocked” if Werdum were to hand Fedor his first undisputable loss in Fedor’s 10-year MMA career.
“[Werdum], he beat Fedor’s brother, he beat Alistair Overeem — whose our current champion, he just beat Giant Silva,” Coker said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “This guy is no joke, People are always focusing on the Fedor equation, but believe me, Fabricio can get it done, and if he beats Fedor, I would not be shocked.”
