Strikeforce denies Fedor-swine flu rumors
A strange rumor surfaced on Halloween that had many scrambling to find out if Fedor Emelianenko had contracted the swine flu. It all started when someone posted, "Hello everybody/Unfortunately i think that i got the flu, i hope i will get better very soon," the person wrote on what was presumed to be Fedor's Twitter account. We quickly got in touch with Strikeforce executive Mike Afromowitz, who confirmed to us that the rumors were indeed false.

In fact, Fedor is just faking the swine flu so people will keep their mitts off his delicious bacon.

It was a bad translation from his Russian message.
It basically just said that he and Rogers are both overweight pigs but they still will put on a good match.

The flu would be the first legit opponent he's faced in years. I'd love to see that fight.

Yeah your right, he's all of the sudden going to sign with the UFC and walk otu on his Strikeforce contract. That'll happen since he has been so anxious to come to the UFC and all.
