If I had one MMA-related wish to use in 2011, I’d wish for Fedor Emelianenko to fight at least half as often as his promotional team at M-1 Global renegotiates. If I had two wishes, I’d wish that one of those fights would be against someone who matters in the Strikeforce heavyweight division – Alistair Overeem or Fabricio Werdum, I’m not picky.

Alas, I have no wishes. Neither does Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, apparently. If he did, Emelianenko would likely be wrapping up the final fight in his three-fight deal with the promotion on January 29.

As it is, Coker couldn’t get Emelianenko into a cage this January with anything less than a net and a tranquilizer gun.

It’s the kind of thing that makes you wonder, if this is how Emelianenko is planning to spend the remaining years of his career, how will the MMA world remember him when it’s all over?

* Jason “Mayhem” Miller will make his first appearance on the show to talk about his upcoming fight against Kazushi Sakuraba at DREAM.16 and anything else on his mind.

* Bobby Lashley will give his first interview since his disappointing loss to Chad Griggs at Strikeforce: Houston.
