Fedor Emelianenko’s manager and M-1′s CEO Vadim Finkelstein talks to Mixfight.ru:
"In a couple of days, Gegard Mousasi and well-known coaches from Ernesto Hoost’s team will arrive in Russia. They will meet with Fedor and join his training process. Also on that team that will prepare Fedor, is a fighter weighing 122 kg, the same weight as of that Bigfoot Silva’s."
Antonio Silva's conditioning coach Andre Benkei talks to Fighters Only:
"Guto Inocente, Vitor Miranda, Fabio Maldonado, Seth Petruzelli are coming besides Gabriel ‘Napao’ Gonzaga still to be confirmed. Pedro Rizzo might come as well after Anderson Silva’s fight to complete the heavyweight group. So we’ll have a great team, not to mention some names from USA and Europe who will help us."
