In an article from the LA Times:
Dana White calls Strikeforce’s overall ratings Saturday a disappointment –
“CBS would be out of their mind to put that rinky-dink [Strikeforce] . . . on the air again . . . and without that backing, [promoters] won’t have the money to pay [Emelianenko].”
“Fedor just got his face smashed in by Brett Rogers. Do you know what Brock or Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez would do to Brett Rogers?” White said. “It’s time to bring this guy [Fedor] in, to see Brock Lesnar smash his head.”
Scott Coker says Emelianenko is dealing with a fracture and tendon damage in his left thumb, and a fractured nose –
“[The hand injury] could’ve been from that blow when he had Brett on the mat at the end,” Coker said. “We’re hearing he could be out for four to six months.”
Alistair Overeem will headline a Strikeforce card on Showtime early next year, and he is the favorite to be Emelianenko’s next foe, Coker said.
