Fedor Emelianenko, who is the world's No. 1 heavyweight with a record of 30-1, will face undefeated American powerhouse Brett "The Grim" Rogers in his first fight since Emelianenko's promotional company M-1 Global signed an agreement with STRIKEFORCE to co-promote major events headlined by Emelianenko.



Mousasi, the STRIKEFORCE Light Heavyweight Champ who is on a 13-fight win streak, will face Sokoudjou in a non-title matchup of two, hard-hitting KO artists.



Miller, a submission expert and host of MTV's smash-hit reality series Bully Beatdown, will face fellow submission specialist Jake Shields in a fight that will likely be a war on the mat.
