I doubt there will be a rematch between the two immediately. Fabricio gets a shot at Overeem for the title now and Fedor has only one fight left on his contract I believe. So he might wait until after their bout and face the champion, but more likely I think, he'll face a different opponent, then get a shot at the title. Coming off of a loss, you don't usually get title shots.
Unless of course fabricio losses to Overeem, then a rematch could take place.

Yet they gave Brett Rogers a title shot RIGHT AFTER his loss to Fedor.
I doubt they will wait. Who else do they have in the Heavy Weight division to fight Fedor? His contract is for a certain number of fights over a certain amount of time (not sure how long it is, but I know its getting close). He already had a pretty big layover since his fight with Rogers, so I think they will jump on the rematch quickly.

Either a rematch with Werdum or a fight with Antonio Silva, who's now a Top10 Heavyweight. If Fedor wins the next fight, then it's the title fight.

If Fedor and M1 decide to re-sign the contract (maybe just go fight for fight this time?) I am really glad that Fedor lost on a Showtime only broadcast. Strikeforce and other promotions are good for MMA and it would have been unfortunately if that happened on CBS right after the big brawl last Broadcast.
That is how EliteXC died (Biggest named fighter losing on broadcast TV = death), tho the fact that Slice lost to Seth (a guy who was AWFUL on TUF reality show) did not help matters.
Anyone else want to see a return of Pride Yellow Cards? I DO! Make the damn fighters work if they want to get paid! Best way to motivate someone, is take away their paycheck.
