GSP to Face Jake Shields and Fedor Comes Back

Fedor Emeianenko will face Antonio Silva on a Feb. 12th Strikeforce card that will also feature Andrei Arlovski versus Josh Barnett.  It looks like Fabricio Werdum will take on Brett Rogers in March as well.  This is setting up a heavyweight tournament between the best heavyweights in the world (outside of maybe one or two in the UFC).  I'm assuming Alistair Overeem will also be fighting in there somewhere early next year (defending his title).

In other fight action, GSP will get arguably his greatest challenge against Jake Shields at UFC 129 in Toronto.  That one should be an amazing fight between two top pound for pound fighters.  That fight will be happening on April 30th and be sure to expect an interesting tactical fight.
