Strikeforce has announced that Fedor Emelianenko will take on Brett Rogers in his first fight with the promotion. Brett Rogers knocked out Andrei Arlovski in one round and is an up and coming undefeated heavyweight. Very similar to Brock Lesnar but without the hype. Fighting Fedor may be premature for someone who only has 10 fights but that is the world of MMA.
I think this is a good fight for Strikeforce and sets up other potential highly potent fights in the future with guys like Alistair Overeem or Fabricio Werdum. The UFC could not have done much better in terms of competition for the best heavyweight in the world. I'll be watching to see how Rogers handles himself against the best in the world.
