By MMAEdition on Sep 18, 2009 with Comments 0

With yesterday’s release of a Nov. 7 date for Strikeforce’s debut on CBS, the
details of Fedor Emelianenko’s bout with Brett Rogers began to
materialize.

Today, another key component was revealed.

ESPNChicago.com was the first to report that Strikeforce was seeking to
hold its event at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Ill., a suburb
to the northwest of Chicago. MMAjunkie.com has
since confirmed the organization is simply waiting on a formal approval
from the Illinois Athletic Commission to make an official announcement.
