With contract negotiations still ongoing, Fedor Emelianenko will not be a part of Strikeforce's January 29 event, a Strikeforce representative has confirmed to MMA Fighting.

A match pitting Emelianenko against Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva in San Jose, California on that date had been proposed as a possibility by several news outlets, but it's not going to happen, according to Strikeforce director of communications Mike Afromowitz.
