M-1's Finkelchtein: Emelianenko's Strikeforce future likely determined today

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - M-1 Global president Vadim Finkelchtein says he'll know today if Fedor Emelianenko's obligation to Strikeforce ends with his next fight.

The executive said his company "primarily" is negotiating with Strikeforce's broadcast partner, Showtime Networks, on a new deal that will keep the Russian heavyweight in the Strikeforce cage beyond the single fight remaining on his current contract.

That deal includes a new co-promotional agreement that could bring M-1 events to the premium-cable channel.

I have thought of a winning scenario to all of the actual or perceived problems with the GOAT his current managers and contracting and financing. It all starts with one man:

Tthis today:

The former Grammy winner’s MMA management company, Alchemist MMA, just signed six new clients to contracts. At the top of the list of fighters inked is former WEC middleweight king Paulo Filho

The company has also signed Strikeforce competitors Eric Lawson and Virgil Zwicker, “TUF” alum Eliot Marshall, Pride Fighting Championships veterans Milton Vieira and Cristiano Marcello, and Grudge Training Center founder Trevor Wittman.

WOW! Vadim thinks other than the two fighters under M-1's name they have something good to show? They are fucking high.

BTW GDP, that is one badass gif dude.

Those are my favorite kind.

That guy was luckier than shit too! He is lucky it didn't spin and crush him.

I love the way way he gets the shot after.

Yeah that GIF is dope, nonchalant defined

And Vadim is crazy

I'd be very cool with M-1 getting on Showtime. M-1 is in position to be a major pipeline of european talent. And they run tourneys. And who doesn't love a tourney?

Well we already have a tourney company here and I have watched their tourney's on Fox down here...they are laughable. Please, try and keep this conversation serious. If Showtime makes a deal with them over SF, they might become the laughing stock of monthly pay channels.

It's not M-1 over SF, it's M-1 in addition to SF.

And forgive me for doubting that u watched an M-1 tourney.
