Monson’s ‘tweet’, which said a bout with Fedor was “confirmed”, included no information regarding the city and venue

M-1 Global has not yet confirmed any opponent for Emelianenko, however, officials with the promotion have reported that the former Pride champ would fight before 2011 is up. Attempts to reach M-1 Global were not immediately returned.

The 40 year-old Monson also posted that there will be a press conference “on 16^th in Russia”.

Monson (42-12) is coming off a unanimous decision loss to undefeated heavyweight Daniel Cormier in June, after the BJJ black belt won 8 straight fights.

Emelianenko (31-4) has lost three straight bouts to Fabricio Werdum, Antonio Silva and most recently Dan Henderson, after going undefeated for ten years.
