It's official now - Fedor Emelianenko will be fighting Hong Man Choi on a NYE Yarennoka! event, which will be shown in the US by the HDNet channel.
Andrew Simon, CEO of HDNet Fights, announced that HDNet will feature the man considered by many to be the greatest fighter in any weight-class, Fedor Emelianenko in a LIVE bout from Japan only available in the United States on HDNet.
"HDNet Fights: Fedor Returns" will air LIVE on Monday, December 31 on HDNet.
This LIVE broadcast is made possible by a partnership between M-1 Global and HDNet Fights.
"Today's announcement with M-1 Global/Fedor clearly demonstrates that HDNet Fights is committed to working on a unified basis to deliver the best fighters and the best fights," said Simon. "HDNet is clearly becoming the home for MMA action and this amazing LIVE event featuring the return of Fedor is our holiday present to HDNet Fights fans. We are working hard every day improving HDNet Fights and this is a great first step in the process."
Mark Cuban, owner of HDNet Fights said, "This announcement reinforces our commitment to becoming the home for LIVE MMA action. No one else but HDNet will have the return of Fedor LIVE from Japan. On December 15th, we'll also have HDNet Fights: Reckless Abandon LIVE from Dallas featuring superstars Jason "Mayhem" Miller and Frank Trigg and then we're ending the month halfway across the world in Japan with the return of the world's best fighter - Fedor. What could be better?"
"Once again, M-1 Global's commitment to working with others has produced major results as MMA fans throughout the U.S. will be able to watch heavyweight sensation Fedor Emelianenko compete live on New Year's Eve on HDNet," said M-1 Global CEO Monte Cox. "The Yarennoka event in Tokyo features a stellar lineup of fighters and will cap the year with Fedor in the main event."
Mitchell Maxwell, Chairman of M-1 Global, stated, "We're elated to be working with Mark Cuban and HDNet. Mark is a big fan of Mixed Martial Arts and Fedor. Our partnership in bringing this Japanese event live to the US meets our mission of promoting the sport and its athletes worldwide."
P.S. Lucky you (Americans)! I myself don't have any other choice but to use torrents or try to watch the video on dailymotion.com or such.
