When the world saw a bruised and battered Fedor Emelianenko walk out of the cage after his Feb. 12 Â loss to fellow heavyweight contender Antonio Silva, many fans felt that it would be the last time we would see “The Last Emperor” step into a cage or ring.
The consensus proved to be wrong.
According to Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, Emelianenko (31-3 MMA, 1-2 SF), will be returning to the now Zuffa-owned promotion at a yet-to-be-announced July event.
Coker announced the plans on the Sherdog Radio Network’s “Beatdown” Radio Show on Wednesday. The Strikeforce CEO hinted that this is a do-or-die fight for the former PRIDE heavyweight champion.
