Hundreds of fans attend Fedor vs. Monson autograph signing session (Photo Gallery)

Hundreds of fans attended Fedor Emelianenko vs. Jeff Monson autograph signing session held in "Gallery" shopping mall in St. Petersburg, Russia. Earlier that day M-1 Global also held their second pre-fight press conference, also in St. Petersburg, with Jeff Monson and Fedor Emelianenko sharing more of their thoughts about the November 20th bout.

M-1 Global CEO Vadim Finkelstein revealed that the fight between Monson and Fedor will be held in the ring, and aired in 120 countries around the world. According to M-1 Global Director of Global Operations Evgeni Kogan (via FCFighter.com), the promotion is also actively seeking for solution that will allow to show the event LIVE in United States of America:

“We’re still in talks with Showtime as well as several other possibilities to show this fight in North America,” M-1 Global’s Director of Operations Evgeni Kogan said. “I guess there’s not a huge amount of time left to do a deal, so maybe within two or three week’s we will have something sorted, but it everything is continuing. I think it’s very likely that the bout will be live in North America, albeit, very early on the Sunday morning in the U.S., especially on the West Coast.”
