Fedor Emelianenko and M-1 officials today held a coinciding press conference and media call to discuss the latest news with the Russian fighter.

Unfortunately, no definitive news was released regarding the fighter’s future, other than that Emelianenko and his manager, M-1 boss Vadim Finkelchtein, are currently in negotiations with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Officials, though, did announce that Emelianenko will “headline” EA Sports’ new videogame, EA Sports MMA, which will compete with THQ’s and the UFC’s hugely successful “UFC Undisputed” videogame franchise that debuted with a 2009 edition earlier this year. “EA Sports MMA” will also feature Gegard Mousasi and Renato “Babalu” Sobral, officials announced.
