SAN JOSE (June 23, 2010) – This Saturday, STRIKEFORCE and M-1 GLOBAL will make history when they present a Mixed Martial Arts fight card that will feature the universally recognized No. 1 male and female fighters in the world stepping into the same cage on the same night for the first time. The eagerly awaited event will take place at HP Pavilion and be televised live on SHOWTIME® at 10 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).
Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko, the world’s No. 1 pound for pound fighter, will take on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and top-ranked heavyweight Fabricio Werdum in the main event. The No. 1 female fighter, Cris Cyborg, will defend her STRIKEFORCE Women’s World 145-pounds Championship against Jan Finney in the semi-main.
Fedor and Cyborg were joined by Cung Le and Josh Thomson, who also will appear in featured
fights on Saturday, at a Media Workout Wednesday at American Kickboxing Academy (AKA).
Le, of San Jose, is a former STRIKEFORCE middleweight titlist. He relinquished the belt last
year to pursue an acting career that has since spawned two major motion picture releases, but
returned Dec. 19, 2009, at HP Pavilion to face Sacramento’s Scott Smith. Le dominated before
losing via a shocking third-round KO. He’ll take on Smith in a rematch of one of MMA’s most epic
come-from-behind knockouts.
Thomson, of San Jose, will return to the cage for the first time since losing the STRIKEFORCE
world lightweight title to top rival Gilbert “El Nino” Melendez on Dec. 19, 2009. He’ll face
dangerous submission artist Pat "Bam Bam" Healy in a lightweight bout.
