Strikeforce confirmed today that two bouts have been added to the main card of Strikeforce: Fedor Vs. Henderson, which takes place from the Sears Center Arena in Chicago, Ill.

In welterweight action, Paul Daley will take on rising star Tyrone Woodley in what is likely to be an explosive contest. The top ten ranked Daley will look to end the Woodley's unbeaten streak at eight while Woodley could jump to the next step with a win over Daley.

Tarec Saffiedine will look to bounce back from a loss to Woodley is his last outting, taking on the spotty Scott Smith who has gone 1-3 in his last four fights.

The updated card for the event is below:

* Champ Dan Henderson vs. Fedor Emelianenko (heavyweight non-title fight)
* Champ Marloes Coenen vs. Miesha Tate (for women's welterweight title)
* Tim Kennedy vs. Robbie Lawler
* Paul Daley vs. Tyron Woodley
* Tarec Saffiedine vs. Scott Smith

Really?????
I dont get why they are not fighting at lightheavy! Shocking to see fedor taking chance with any top fighter at heavy,even though its not hendersons best weight class,if fedor loses there will be no excuses about fighting a much bigger opponent.Im actually glad hes fighting henderson for 3 reasons
1 - henderson is the smaller
2 - henderson is "on paper" older
3 - If fedor does lose thats what he gets for not giving us"the MMA fans"the fight we wanted to see 2 yrs ago...............LESNAR!!!!Sorry got to side with MR white on this one and say he ducked fighting the best 5,6 yrs now and will never fight the best now as his window of opportunity has passed him by unfortunatly.......would like to see him in ufc light heavy if he does somehow get passed henderson though!
