Fedor Emelianenko makes his decision, signs a multi-fight MMA deal

Strikeforce issued a press release to announce that Fedor Emelianenko has signed a multi-fight agreement. He will debut in a Showtime fight this fall. The press release notes that his fight will be co-promoted by M-1 Global.

Powell's POV: This is disappointing news for UFC fans who were hoping for the Fedor vs. Brock Lesnar dream fight. However, it's a big move for Strikeforce, which is really the only other game in town. The question is how much the affiliation with M-1 Global will cost them in the long run.
