The Strikeforce: “Fedor vs. Rogers” mixed martial arts event is reportedly heading to the Sears Centre in Chicago, Illinois for its CBS prime time debut on November 7.

ESPN Chicago is reporting that the San Jose-based organization is close to finalizing the location that will feature a main event between the top heavyweight fighter in the world, Fedor Emelianenko, against heavy-handed up-and-comer, Brett “The Grim” Rogers.

It will mark the Strikeforce debut for “The Last Emperor” after being acquired in a co-promtion deal with M-1 Global last month.

Also expected to compete are middleweight stars Jason “Mayhem” Miller and Jake Shields, duking it out for the chance to claim Cung Le’s recently vacated 185-pound middleweight title.

Light heavyweight star Gegard Mousasi and women’s champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos are also expected to be in action on fight night.

tbh i hope rogers wins and wins convincingly. more chance of mila kunis walking through my bedroom door and blowing me in the next ten minutes but it'd be nice for someone to be fedor and then go to the ufc so we didn't have to keep wondering forever.

I always go into the fight thinking Fedor will lose but he pulls it out and I think it's more exciting for me to think this way. Sometimes the dudes are bigger, heavier and maybe better than him in some areas but he manages to win.

So I guess Fedor will win again...

The card looks pretty good. The real match to see isn't Fedor embarassing a guy that has no buisness in the cage with him, it's Shields/Mayhem.

When it comes to Mousasi, I'd say Strikeforce should try to sign Arona or Soko...
