No longer “untouchable” after suffering two consecutive defeats, Fedor Emelianenko is still a force to reckon with.

After all, he’s not widely considered the greatest MMA fighter ever for nothing.

On July 30, 2011, “The Last Emperor” looks to return to his winning ways when he takes on current Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Dan Henderson in the main event of Strikeforce: Fedor vs Henderson at Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, United States.

It will be fought at a catch weight of 220 lbs.

In the co-main event, Marloes Coenen defends her Women’s Welterweight (135 lb) Championship title against Miesha Tate.

This event co-presented with Fedor’s Russian M-1 Global promotion.

Here’s the official fight card:
