The M1 organization made official the matchup between Fedor Emelianenko and Jeff Monson.
The showdown is set to take place on November 20 at the Olympic Stadium in Moscow, Russia.
Having decided to delay the event by eight days, the promoters will dodge a stiff battle for audience with the UFC, which has its maiden FOX broadcast scheduled for the initially-planned date of the 12th, at which time will be trying to encroach on MMA’s audience with the marquee Manny Pacuiao-Juan Manuel Marquez bout.
