With M-1Global and STRIKEFORCE present Fedor vs. Werdum just a few short weeks away, many in the media have begun to speculate and ask questions about The Last Emperor’s fighting future. M-1Global’s Director of Operations Evgeni Kogan recently had a chance to speak with MMAWeekly.com to set the record straight.

“Following this fight now we have one more fight on the cards,” Kogan said. “That’s the future for now, there’s one more fight following the June 26 fight and that fight is more likely than not on pay-per-view.”

Of course M-1 Global promotes several fighters, but one thing is guaranteed when and if that pay-per-view happens. Fedor Emelianenko will be leading the charge.

“That is a fight for Fedor that is co-promotion by M-1 Global and Strikeforce,” Kogan stated.

Fedor’s primary focus right now is on Fabricio Werdum and their fight on June 26, but a title shot against Alistair Overeem could be just the pay-per-view draw that Strikeforce and M-1 Global could be looking for. The only question right now is timing, and Kogan says he can’t guarantee anything like that right now.

“It depends on what happens during this fight. It depends on health issues, and whatever else following this fight. It depends also by other factors, so I don’t want to tell you something and not have it happen,” said Kogan. “It’s possible, it’s not unlikely, but I wouldn’t say I’d guarantee that it happens in 2010.”
