EVENT: Strikeforce / M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Henderson
DATE: July 30, 2011
LOCATION: Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, United States
MAIN EVENT: Fedor Emelianenko vs Dan Henderson
DETAILS: Strikeforce: Fedor vs Henderson sets the stage for what can be the most important fight in Fedor’s career and across the cage another opportunity for Henderson to cement his position with the greatest of all time. Both men have nothing left to prove in this sport but fight because they enjoy it and are still capable.
A loss for Fedor needs to be a realization that the time is now to retire, a win however still puts him in dangerous territory as the fighters in his division are much bigger and are only getting better.
Dan Henderson will win in any outcome. A win will give him another big name in his list of victims, where a loss will interrupt his record but he retains his light heavyweight championship since they are fighting at a catch weight of 220 lbs. for the bout.
