Fedor claims Werdum is ducking him for a rematch

from bloodyelbow

"When I left the [Werdum] fight I understood the whole situation and said right away that my opponent will avoid me for as long as possible. When the fight will happen, for now, I don't know. He apparently did an operation on his hand. He will delay the rematch as long as possible.

I understand that we're all people, this is sport, this is life, and I was always prepared for this."

Im really confused as to why Overeem vs Fedor hasn't already been booked, but werdum i know has said he wants a rematch also and is even willing to do it in Russia.

I've grown so tired of SF's HW division. I really don't give a fuck what they schedule there anymore

yea im kinda on the same page. I am really interested in seeing some of the potential matchup's but this is getting ridiculous.

Werdum got hurt, Overeem has been fighting K-1. Whats not to understand?

i thought all overeem ever wanted was a fedor fight...... isn't that what he's always said?

So why is that fight not happening? SF has a great HW roster and yet it is sitting there growing mold and collecting dust. I just wish they could get their shit together and put on consistent events.

If Strikeforce got it's shit together then they could build a very strong company around their Heavyweights.

Overeem
Fedor
Werdum
Silva
Barnett
Arlovski
Rogers

Make an excellent top 7.

They should just make the Fedor vs Barnett fight already. Fedor wanted no part of Reem until a week after he was committed to K-1 and I agree with him that Werdum will ride this win out for as long as possible.

Once again Fedor let M-1 lock him in the basement and he had no idea what was going on in the world?

Naw, he's always said he values fighting in Japan and wants to be the first MMA and K1 champion. He says that Fedor stuff on American MMA blogs to dupe Fedor haters into thinking he's a legit champion though.

How can Werdum be ducking Fedor when he's been out with an injury ?? Sounds like bitterness to me.

Fedor is sounding more and more lame, claiming other fighters are ducking him, when it consistently looks like it his mgmt, that keeps the big fights from happening. fight Barnett. Werdum is hurt, and will face Overeem next, Fedor, u lost, now u need to wait(at least for that fight). FIGHT BARNETT.




Overeem signed up for a K1 tourney, he's not going to bail on that now. I don't fault him at all right now.

Yeah Fedor is becoming just as annoying as the rest of them. For a division filled with talented guys its laughable how much uncertainty is on the horizon. Do they 1 fight scheduled with any of their HWs right now?

Fedor has some validity to what he is saying. Werdum has not at any point wanted this rematch from my perspective. Anyway, the fans are forcing Fedor to say this kind of stuff, since they eat up all of Overeem's total bullshit.

SF has promised that 2011 everyone fights eachother and that some big announcements are coming. How long have we been waiting to see Carwin, Lesnar, Dos Santos and Cain all mix it up? Two years?

except that Werdum both b4, and directly after the fight said he preffered a rematch with Fedor then a matchup with Overeem. If anything(and I don't but it cause Werdum is hurt) Werdum is ducking Overeem.

He can babble as much right before and after, but since the win he's been like "oh well Ill fight next year, gonna get some surgery, do some shopping, fighting, ya ill do that sometime next year"

Werdum was sparring, wrestling and goofing around after his surgery too. That is kinda suspect if you ask me.

Either way I hate to be that guy, but when it comes to Fedor...I TOLD YA SO!

+1

And my reply would have been

this is getting old!!! im sick of SF and their inability to put on fights with the roster they have, until they schedule a fight im not talking about them anymore, this is just getting out of hand.

Fedor and Werdum fight over the summer. Relax guys.

yeah, the summer of 2015

If I was Strikeforce i'd make these fights-

Alistair Overeem vs Fabricio Werdum
Fedor Emelianenko vs Josh Barnett

Winners then fight each other and losers fight each other
