Evgeni Kogan, M-1 Global’s Director of Operations, is trying to make sure MMA fans in the U.S. will be able to see Fedor Emelianenko vs. Jeff Monson from Moscow, Russia on November 20. Timing is everything, apparently, and trying to find an outlet has been tough because of the time difference.
“We’re still in talks with Showtime as well as several other possibilities to show this fight in North America,” said Kogan, in an interview with Full Contact Fighter. “I guess there’s not a huge amount of time left to do a deal, so maybe within two or three weeks we will have something sorted out, but everything is continuing. I think it’s very likely that the bout will be live on North America, albeit, very early on the Sunday morning in the U.S., especially on the West Coast.”
Kogan did say that there will be the opportunity for American and Canadian fans to watch the card live online via pay-per-view. .
