Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum to be countered with UFC 113 Replay

What a surprise. Zuffa is countering Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum with a replay of UFC 113.

While this will probably be status quo, e.g., the replay garnering between 1-2 million viewers, it will be interesting to see how the Showtime card does with Fedor headlining it. Will it surpass the ratings record set by Carano vs. Cyborg?
