Fedor Fights February 15 in Chicago For M-1

[amartinez141]

Fedor Emelianenko already has his MMA return date set. Away from the ring since April, when he overcame Matt Lindland, the Russian heavyweigh announced his return date of February 15, in Chicago, in an interview with his own site. His adversary in the maiden event of M-1 Global, with which Fedor signed a contract this month, has not yet been defined, the same goes for the rules.

“We are still negotiating the rules, as we want something that will be internationally acceptable, and applicable in Europe and the United States. But the rules will be based on Pride rules,” said Fedor, who guarantees that he’ll be in shape: “I think that at this moment I remain in good shape and training hard. Right now I am training for the World Sambo Championship and next will follow up on my MMA career.”
