Fedor Emelianenko's Manager Confirms 4-Fight Deal With Strikeforce - FightLine.com

Apparently Fedor has agreed a 4 fight deal with Strikeforce. As a result he will take part in an 8 Man Heavyweight Elimanation Tournament including all of Strikeforce's top Heavyweight fighters.

Fedor will fight Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva in the first quarter-final on February 12th, the co main event will be Andrei Arlovski vs. Sergei Kharitonov and the winner of those 2 fights meet in the semi's.

The second half of the bracket will be Alistair Overeem defending his Heavyweight title against Fabricio Werdum, and the winner of that fight will fight the winner of Brett Rogers vs. Josh Barnett.

Major deal for Strikeforce really, but could be interesting to see if they can get through that Tournament without any injuries/withdrawals.
