M-1 Global representative clarifies Fedor’s contract situation, open to Dan Henderson rematch on Showtime

Evgeni Kogan, M-1 Global Director of Operations, has been giving his thoughts on the current contract situation surrounding formerly ranked number one fighter in the world, Fedor Emelianenko, as well as saying the Russian would be open to a possible rematch with Dan Henderson on Showtime down the line.
Speaking via MMAWeekly.com, Kogan said:

“Dana White announced yesterday that Fedor is no longer a Zuffa fighter. Truth is Fedor was never under contract with Zuffa. Fedor’s contract is with Showtime. He remains a Showtime fighter, on a network which has been amazing to Fedor and the team.”
“Last Saturday night fans were treated to one of the most exciting and unpredictable rounds of MMA action in recent history between two legends of the sport. Congratulations to Hendo and we are open to a rematch on Showtime.”
Strikeforce is not the only MMA promotion on Showtime so there are a number of options for Fedor which will be looked at.”

Before any fight can be made Fedor must decide whether or not to continue his flagging career after suffering a trio of defeats over a fourteen month period inside the Strikeforce cage. Is this really it for “The Last Emperor” as far as top-flight competition goes?
