It is uncertain at this time who Fedor will be fighting first or who owns M-1. But the answer to these questions will certainly shake up the MMA world.

With that in mind we offer the following summery of possible answers to these questions from credible sources including mma-analyst.com:

Who purchased M-1?

-Mark Cuban is not the buyer. It has been said by many journalists that have close sources to M-1 and Cuban that a purchase deal is not the case. Ed Fishman recently stated on FightOpinion Radio that Mark Cuban was more interested in obtaining a television deal with M-1 in order to broadcast their events on HDNet fights.

-Ed Fishman is also out of the running. Again, his FightOpinion radio interview stated that he may be trying to work some kind of deal, but not as the purchaser of the company. Although Fishman has been in the MMA news as a potential suitor to the M-1 organization, he basically said he was in the MMA picture, but not as a buyer of Mixfight.

-The McMahon rumors are clearly one of the more outrageous ones. The founders of the WWE and Global Media could be looking to expand their company into mixed martial arts, a sport that has been taking fans away from pro-wrestling. Although this sounds like a possibility, I have heard from many sources that they are definitely not in the mix as far as potential buyers.

-The most interesting rumor has come from Frank Trigg at TAGGRadio. Throughout this entire deal, he has been spot on for once with most of his sources. He stated on his Thursday show with Gorgeous George Garcia that he thought with some certainty that the company that owned the Staples Center was most likely the buyer. Further research revealed that an entertainment giant named AEG owned the Center, along with many more venues and sports teams. -The last rumor that I should touch on is Mark Ecko, the clothing designer who is hosting the press conference. Ecko's Enterprises company has been known to produce press conferences and upscale parties for events, so it may seem as if they are just producing the event. To me, this seems like the case. You could make a case for Ecko himself. He has recently been in the news for buying Barry Bonds's historic home run ball that passed Hank Aaron's home run record.
