PHILADELPHIA — Kenny Florian insists he is prepared for the opportunity in front of him.
Fedor Emelianenko and his manager shunned what was probably a much more lucrative deal from the Ultimate Fighting Championship to sign with Strikeforce. Perhaps the best heavyweight mixed martial artist in the world, Emelianenko will debut with the upstart organization in the fall.
