Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker was a guest of The MMA Hour on MMAFighting.com on Monday, promoting the organizations two upcoming events, “Strikeforce: Los Angeles” which takes place on Wednesday and the co-promoted “Strikeforce And M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Werdum” event which occurs on June 26.

Speaking about the main event on June 26 between heavyweights Fedor Emelianenko and Fabricio Werdum, Coker knows that many have already written off the Brazilian but he feels people are being a bit too hasty in their predictions.

“[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.”

Coker goes on to talk about Strikeforce’s next PPV event as well as the longevity of Fedor to stay competitive among the topped rank fighters.

Another guest on Monday’s The MMA Hour was UFC middleweight fighter Michael Bisping to talk about his latest victory and what’s next for the British fighter.
