    According to Coker that's the fight that will take place in a yet to be determined date. So who's next for Fedor ? or will he wait until Werdum is healthy which won't be till early next year?

    I wonder if Finkel Strong handed this. I said Fedor wouldn't be fighting Overeem but I thought he might fight Silva. I wonder if Fedor will wait till Werdums ready next friggin year.

    werdum has elbow surgery he will be out till January. from what I understand overeem does not want a fight with fedor. so thats the situation.

    I would have liked to see fedor bounce back with a win against "bigfoot". people would call bigfoot a can if fedor beats him.

    SF HAVE TO get control of their fighters. This is ridiculous.

    Overeem should be fighting Werdum and that is the end of it. Fedor should be fighting the winner of Serge and Bigfoot. It should the be the winner of Overeem-Werdum and Fedor-Serge/Bigfoot.

    Fedor should be fighting Overeem.

    This fight should be made considering that Werdum is out until 2011.

    Fedor wont get no credit for beating Silva or Sergei.

    A win over Overweem would be huge for Fedor and MMA.

    For credibility, the champ shouldn't make 2 defences in a row against guys coming off of clear losses.

    With Werdum out, if SF marketed right, then they could sell it with credibility. Fedor made a mistake, he is working his way back to Werdum etc

    Is Werdum out until 2011? Why? He looked fine in the vids I have seen. I can vaguely remember injury reports, can't rememebr what though.

    It's his elbow (left one I think). He can't straighten it out I believe, due to his injury, hence the surgery.

    Edit: Apparently he's suffering from tennis elbow.

    Im alright with this fight id rather Werdum-Overeem II but Silva fought Werdum very tough, dropped him and nearly won a decision. Id rather Fedor get one win in the meantime.

    He might end up fighting for the K-1 belt instead!

    Strikeforce are certainly making a mess of their best division.
