The Wait is Almost Over - Fedor vs. Roger - Sat Nov 7 on CBS (via shosports)

Kind of amazing that a trailer for Strikeforce: Emelianenko vs. Rogers is better than the trailer for Avatar but what are you going to do? No, I am serious, James Cameron what the hell are you doing? It looks like FernGully.

Anyways, in non-movie news, Fedor vs. Rogers will also be for the newly resurrected WAMMA heavyweight title. The fight will only be three rounds. Press Release below,

CHICAGO, IL (Nov. 5th, 2009) - The World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts (WAMMA), today announced it will sanction the STRIKEFORCE and M-1 Global fight between undisputed WAMMA reigning heavyweight champion Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko and undefeated challenger, Brett "The Grim" Rogers, which will air live on CBS from Sears Centre Arena on Saturday, Nov 7th.
