M-1 Global held a press conference in Moscow on Tuesday to hype the upcoming M-1 Challenge XXIII on March 5. In attendance were M-1 Global president Vadim Finkelchtein and Fedor Emelianenko, who also discussed the upcoming Strikeforce heavyweight tournament.
When Finkelchtein was asked about drug testing in the tournament, he said that he was in favor of “a strict drug testing” considering the history of some of the participants.
“Two out of eight fighters in the tournament previously failed a drug test,” Finkelchtein said (as translated by LowKick.com). Obviously, I’m talking about Josh Barnett and Antonio Silva. We want fair competition for everyone, so that’s why I will ask the commission to perform a strict drug testing. Fedor is not using any kind of substance to enhance his performance, and will be ready for any kind of testing. So if the commission decides to follow our suggestion, we’ll be ready.

With contract negotiations still ongoing, Fedor Emelianenko will not be a part of Strikeforce’s January 29 event, a Strikeforce representative has confirmed to MMA Fighting.
A match pitting Emelianenko against Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva in San Jose, California on that date had been proposed as a possibility by several news outlets, but it’s not going to happen, according to Strikeforce director of communications Mike Afromowitz.

(Surprise, Strikeforce may be making a mistake with matchmaking.)
I never thought I’d ever speak out against a grand prix tournament, but because the proposed Strikeforce heavyweight tournament has so many question marks surrounding it, I’m almost hoping it doesn’t happen.
When Scott Coker mentioned earlier this year that Strikeforce was either going to piss or get off the pot when teasing its fans with heavyweight fights that never seem to come to fruition because of those crazy Russians for whatever reason, I thought he meant it.
What Sco-Co should have said was, "We’ll likely milk the current roster for whatever we can and if we can make the fights fans want to see, then we will, but we likely won’t."
According to Tatame, the California-based promotion is planning on stretching the tournament over three events and will likely anchor Strikeforce’s foray into pay-per-view TV — a move necessitated by the fact that it’s unlikely that CBS will be having them back on network TV in 2011 and the costs of greasing the pockets of M-1 Global for each Fedor-featured event are likely more than most Russians make in their lives.
