Watch Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum live Online
Though no championship is on the line during Saturday night’s main event at Strikeforce:
Fedor vs. Werdum, Fabricio Werdum gets a shot at the man who has long worn the unofficial title of top pound-for-pound fighter in mixed martial arts: Fedor Emelianenko.

There is no official championship at stake in the three-round main event at the Strikeforce/M-1 Global co-promoted event at the HP Pavilion, which will air live in the U.S. on Showtime and be seen live in nearly three dozen countries.
Because of the card’s place further down the dial — on Showtime, not CBS — and because the quiet Werdum doesn’t have an engine of hype behind him, it’s probably going to be one of Emelianenko’s more muted appearances. At age 33 and with retirement on his mind, there’s increasing immediacy to his schedule: We don’t want his time or abilities wasted. Facing Werdum might be a fight, it but doesn’t feel much like an event.
“The Last Emperor” brings an incredible 27-fight winning streak into the matchup in a run that includes a second-round TKO victory over Brett Rogers in their November meeting. Emelianenko is widely regarded as the best heavyweight in mixed martial arts history, though his reputation as the world’s current top pound-for-pound fighter has taken a hit in recent years due a lack of activity.

Nevertheless, Emelianenko has earned stoppages in his past eight fights. That stretch includes first-round finishes of former UFC champions Andrei Arlovski and Tim Sylvia.
According to Finkelstein, one of the M-1 fighters expected to fight at the event is welterweight Magomed Shihshabekov.
Strikeforce has confirmed they’ll be making a “big announcement” today, which is expected to be official confirmation of the Emelianenko-Werdum bout.
