The famed Fedor "The Last Emperor'' Emelianenko took a humongous bite out of the Big Apple Wednesday as hundreds of appreciative fans arrived early and stayed late to catch a glimpse of the mixed martial arts superstar and universally recognized No. 1 heavyweight in the world at a Free Open Workout and Meet & Greet in New York City.

In a major news development, it was announced that the talented, exciting Fedor (30-1) of Russia would meet undefeated, hard-hitting Brett "The Grim'' Rogers of Minneapolis on SHOWTIME® this fall. It will be Fedor's first start since M-1 Global and STRIKEFORCE signed a ground-breaking agreement to co-promote major events.



STRIKEFORCE Founder and CEO Scott Coker addresses the media and fans who turned out at Fighthouse on Wednesday.



Fedor was in a jovial mood as he answered questions from the media and fans.




President of M-1 Global, Vadim Finkelchtein, is interviewed by SHOWTIME.






Fedor hit the mitts and worked the bag during his workout.






It was an opportunity of a lifetime for many of the fans, who were able to get autographs, take pictures and get up close and personal with the great Fedor.

I would have LOVED To have been there. Love him or hate him (or M1), Fedor is a legend and meeting him in person would have been cool.

Still a bit nervous about this fight (as I am before all Fedor fights) but I see it going the way of Gary Goodridge vs Fedor.

Rogers is no slouch...................but he better land something lucky.
