Pro Fighting Fans Covers Strikeforce: Fedor vs Rogers on November 7

November 3, 2009

(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 03, 2009 ) On Saturday, November 7, mixed martial arts action will return to one of the biggest stages in the sport's history when Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers kicks off at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, IL and airs live on CBS during the Primetime slot. If you will be unable to watch this historic event, be sure to visit MMA news leader ProFighting-fans.com on Saturday night in order to get complete coverage and round-by-round results and analysis on our official MMA blog beginning with the first bout on the main card of the CBS broadcast.

Featuring a main event pitting a man most consider to be the greatest heavyweight fighter in the history of the sport, and one of the best pound for pound fighters of all time, Fedor Emelianenko against the larger, heavier, and more powerful undefeated heavyweight contender Brett The Grim Rogers, the California-based Strikeforce promotion is looking to make waves in the mainstream sports community by debuting on CBS with this stellar match up.

After opponent Josh Barnett was forced out of a scheduled title fight at Affliction: Trilogy on August 1, 2009, Fedor Emelianenko, one of the most sought-after fighters in the world, was left without an opponent. Following the collapse of Affliction as a fight promoter the same week, Fedor was also left without a promotion until Strikeforce won the bidding war to gain his services in a co-promoted effort with M-1 Global.

Now set to make his Strikeforce debut on the biggest American stage he has ever been a part of, Fedor is looking to prove to mainstream American audiences that he is more than just an over-hyped import from Russia with a resounding victory over the younger, larger newcomer in Brett Rogers. The complete Strikeforce Fedor vs Rogers results on November 7 will be posted in real-time at ProFighting-fans.com.

Also on the main card of the CBS broadcast will be a Strikeforce Middleweight Title fight between former welterweight competitor Jake Shields, who is currently riding a 12-fight winning streak, and the host of MTV's popular Bully Beat Down show, Jason Mayhem Miller.

In other action, Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Gegard Mousasi, a training partner of Fedor Emelianenko's, will square off with the hard-hitting Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou in a non-title affair while top-ranked heavyweights Fabricio Werdum and Antonio Bigfoot Silva clash in order to determine a possible opponent for the winner of the main event heavyweight war between Fedor and Rogers.
