CHELYABINSK, רוסיה (מאי 30, 2018) – Greece-born flyweight כריס “The Greek Kelades” Keldes (12-3-0, M-1: 1-0-0), fighting out of Dartmouth, קנדה, takes on Ukrainian fighter Alexander Pletenko (13-4-0, M;1: 0-0-0) this Friday night on the אתגר M-1 93 עיקרי כרטיס, בצ'ליאבינסק, רוסיה.
Kelades made his successful M-1 Global debut last November at M-1 Challenge 86, כשהוא הביס אולג ליצ'קובחה by way of a third-round submission (קימורה).
It’s been more than a half- year since your M-1 Global debut. Why did you take such a long break?
CK: “It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. I was supposed to fight back in March, but I had problems getting my travel visa secured, so I was rebooked to fight in April but, למרבה הצער, the event was canceled. אז, I’ve been ready to fight, but circumstances have changed the dates. I’m excited for this fight and looking forward to fighting in Chelyabinsk. Two times my fights have been canceled and it was extremely frustrating, but it gave me more time to work on my game and learn new techniques.”
In your M-1 Global debut, you have been very cautious during the first two rounds, but in the third round you got a submission. Is it your real fighting style or did you just wanted to win the debut fight without taking risks?
CK: כל מאבק הוא שונה. Sometimes in a new environment it takes longer to feel the fight start and you have to read the opponent before you react too aggressively.”
What can you say about your next opponent, Alexander Pletenko? You have similar records. Does it mean you have similar fighting styles?
CK: “I’ve seen some of his fights and I don’t think we have similar styles. I’ve been fighting the best guys in the world and at a certain level it’s more difficult to finish fights.”
Before joining M-1 Global you had never fought anywhere except North America. What does it feel like to fight half a world away from your home?
CH: “I really enjoyed myself the last time in my debut with M-1 Global. The travel is a little bit of a hassle with the distance, but I really enjoy fighting internationally and here in Russia. I like fighting away because I enjoy having to prove myself to other fighters and the fans. זה מניע אותי!”

CHELYABINSK, רוסיה (מאי 29, 2018) – Undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion ארטם פרולוב (10-0-0, M-1: 7-0-0) defends his title for the first time this Friday against American favorite ג'ו “דיזל” ריגס (47-17-1, M-1: 2-0-1) ב אתגר M-1 93 אירוע משותף, בצ'ליאבינסק, רוסיה.
Frolov has knocked out four of his opponents and submitted four others. אוקטובר האחרון, Frolov captured the belt by defeating UFC veteran קאיו מגלהיס, של ברזיל, by unanimous decision and he needed a break to heal his injuries.
ארטם פרולוב (L) puts his perfect record and M-1 Challenge middleweight title belt on the line this Friday against Joe “דיזל” ריגס
ב 2016 you had three fights and last year you fought only twice. How many fights a year would you like to have in the future?
AF: “I would like to fight three times a year. I think this is the best number because it lets me have enough time for good recovery after fights and enough time for training camps. כמובן, there are also some distraction factors, which do not let me fight more often like, לדוגמה, some amateur competitions where I fight from time to time.”
Your title fight against Caio Magalhaes was a hard trial for you. How difficult was that 25- minute brawl?
AF: “I knew the fight was going to be a tough confrontation because Caio is a great fighter with excellent striking skills. עם זאת, during the fight I found the best way to fight him and saw how I could get the victory. He impressed me with his firmness; he did not quit after I delivered many hard punches, so I must admit he has a big heart.”
When did you learn that you were going to fight Joe Riggs? What can you say about his skills?
AF: “Even before the title fight I knew that, if I won the belt, my first title defense would be against Joe Riggs. He drew my attention with his debut fight in M-1 Global. I checked his record, took a look at the list of the guys he had defeated, and understood that sooner or later we were going to meet in The Rage.
“כמובן, in the last few months, I watched many of the Diesel’s fights. His main advantage is his experience, he has five times more fights than me. Riggs is a well-rounded fighter, his wrestling skills together with the excellent control skills on the ground, and powerful ground-and- pound are probably his main strengths. אז, he is definitely a fighter of the ‘American school’.”
After capturing the title, you were mentioned among the top 20 best prospects in the world by the famous MMA magazine Fighters Only. What does it feel?
AF: I was flattered to be mentioned in the best prospects list, especially by a respected magazine like Fighters Only. Such recognition proves that you dedicate your life to MMA for a reason and that you have really achieved something. But I know that I have much work to do and a lot of things in my game to improve.”
Two weeks after your fight against Riggs there will be a contender fight between Mikhail Ragozin and Valery Myasnikov. Who do you think will be the winner? Which one of them would you like to fight?
AF: “I am acquainted with both these guys, so I would not like to fight either of them. I can’t say who is going to win this fight because they are both strong athletes and have their advantages. In my opinion the one who will have better cardio will win the fight.
“I would prefer to fight only the strongest foreigners, not fellow countrymen. You travel around the country, have camps in different places, make friends and one day you are told that you are fighting one of them. That is not the best feeling, תבטח בי, so I’d like to fight the best athletes from other countries, so I can fight not only for myself, my gym and my city, but for the country, defending the honor of the national flag.”
You have the same number of wins by knockouts and submissions in your record. How would you like to end the upcoming fight?
AF: “I came to MMA as a wrestler, so it makes me happy that I am getting better at striking. עם זאת, it feels great to win via submission as well, especially when it is a beautiful one. למעשה, any finish is awesome, because my family and friends are worried about me during the fight and I don’t like to make them worry too long. אז, I prefer to finish the fights early.

סרגיי Kharitonov לעומת. Anton Vyazigin declared
“אין תחרות”
Aleksander Doskalchuk crowned undisputed
M-1 Challenge flyweight champion |
Aleksander Doskalchuk is now the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion
|
סנט פטרסבורג, רוסיה (מאי 25, 2018) – Last night’s SuperFight between Russian heavyweight star סרגיי Kharitonov and his main event challenger, אנטון Vyazigin, was declared a “no contest” ו אלכסנדר Doskalchuk established himself as the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion last night at אתגר M-1 92 at M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, רוסיה.
Kharitonov (27-6-0) originally was declared the winner by way of a second-round technical decision over his Russian opponent, Vyazigin (9-2-0), due to an illegal eye poke that prevented Kharitonov from continuing to fight.
The result was later changed to a “no contest” after the commission, assembled by M-1 Global president ואדים Finkelchtein, reviewed the fight video and made the decision to change the result. A rematch will be scheduled for one of the next events, likely אתגר M-1 95: קרב בהרים, which will happen in July in Ingushetia, רוסיה.
“A ‘no contest’ was the only possible decision in this situation,” Finkelchtein explained the change. “It was an accident and yesterday the judges made the decision according to the rules, giving the victory to Kharitonov, based on the scorecards. But this fight was an exception.”
“Changing the result to ‘no contest’ is the best choice,” Kharitonov agreed. “This was not the victory I wanted. I was sure the fight would be ruled as no contest, so I was surprised when the referee raised my hand. Anton did not want to poke me, so I think the decision now is fair. In the hospital I was told I’ve got an eye contusion and corneal abrasion. I hope to recover fast and get a rematch.”
סרגיי Kharitonov (R) didn’t agree with the original decision declaring him the winner.
“I think ‘no contest’ is a fair result,” Vyazigin added. “I was sure that after that poke, Sergei would take a break, and then we will go on. But the fight was stopped and he was declared the winner. Talking about corneal abrasion, I have no idea how it could happen. I always cut my nails before fights and the referee checks that, so that is weird. כמובן, אני רוצה משחק גומלין, our story has not ended.”
Doskalchuk (9-1-0), נלחם מתוך אוקראינה, entered The Rage as the M-1 Challenge flyweight champion to take on M-1 Challenge Interim flyweight titlist ארמן Ashimov (8-3-1), של קזחסטן. Ashimov was unable to continue after two rounds due to a hand injury.
Brazilian welterweight Tiago “באהיה” Varejao (27-5-1) הציג הופעת בכורה M-1 מרשימה, taking a majority decision from former M-1 Challenge title challenger סרגיי רומנוב (14-3-0).
lashvili Setting גיגה (9-4-0) was disqualified in the third round for “rope grabbing” against undefeated Russian light heavyweight Khadis Ibragrimov (4-0-0).
Russian lightweight Pavel Gordeev (11-1-0) took a split decision victory from Mickael “רגנר” Lebout (17-9-2), של צרפת.

Georgian welterweight עמירן Gogoladze (6-1-0) won a three-round split decision over Russian Taymuraz Guriev, תוך רוסלן Shamilov (5-0-0) kept his undefeated intact with a three-round split decision versus דניס Tiuliulin (3-4-0) in a battle between Russian middleweights.

The 37-year-old Kharitonov has defeated a Who’s Who of some of top heavyweight MMA fighters, לְהָבִיא Alister Overeem, אנדריי Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum ו פדרו ריזו.
Kharitonov had a few last words before the action officially begins:
סרגיי, you have had 33 professional MMA during your career and now you are 37 שנים. What is your motivation in MMA? Why do you keep fighting?
SK: “Fighting has become an essential part of my life. I literally can’t live without it. I love new challenges, and this is why I compete at different events and now, לדוגמה, I have a new challenge: two fights in one week. Tomorrow I have an MMA fight at M-1 Challenge 92 and in a week, I’ve got a kickboxing bout scheduled.
“This is life and we have to take risks, because no risk, no reward. אז, I am ready for this. MMA is my passion, but I love kickboxing, מדי, and now I am interested in competing in both sports.”
It is said that for heavyweights the age of 35 is the prime, because this is the time when heavyweights are usually quite experienced, but still in shape. What do you think about it?
SK: “It all depends. One fighter can reach his prime at 25, another one at 35, אבל, לדיעה, it depends on his conscious. Take a look at some boxers like George Foreman, who fought until he was 48. Even in lighter divisions there are many examples of successful old fighters like Bernard Hopkins and even Floyd Mayweather Jr., who is not that young today. If you keep training hard, you can fight for a long time.”
Only twice in your career you won by decision. How does it happen that you finish almost all your opponents?
SK: “I always look at my opponent; if he gives me an opportunity to finish him, I do it. I don’t care how I win fights and I have no goal to finish my opponents. The only thing that really matters is the victory.”
Anton Vyazigin has power in his hands. Do you have a plan for the upcoming fight or do you need one?
SK: “My fighting style depends on the situation, but I think tomorrow we are going to have a stand-up fight. בשלב הזה של הקריירה שלי, I do not really change my training camp for new opponents. I have pretty much experience, so I can just enter The Rage and do what I have to do. על כל פנים, I usually watch my opponents’ קרבות. I watched two fights of Vyazigin and can say that he is a great young athlete with heavy punches. I am very excited because it makes me happy that young guys like him are ready to replace us. Who knows how much time we have left, שנה, שני, שלוש, maybe even five? These guys have long careers ahead and they have to keep growing and showing their best!”

סנט פטרסבורג, רוסיה (מאי 22, 2018) – M-1 Challenge Interim flyweight champion ארמן Ashimov takes on M-1 Challenge flyweight title-holder אלכסנדר Doskalchuk(8-1-0, M-1: 2-0-0) ביום חמישי הקרוב (מאי 24) to determine the “undisputed” king of the M-1 Global flyweights, ב אתגר M-1 92 אירוע משותף, at M-1 Arena in St. פטרסבורג, רוסיה.
Ashimov (8-2-1, M-1: 3-0-0), who captured his Interim crown at אתגר M-1 87 בפברואר האחרון,
Stopping Mikael Silander in round two voa punches, answered a series of M-1 Global questions:
Arman, how did the M-1 Challenge interim flyweight title change your life?
AA: “I was extremely happy to become the champion, but I would not say I felt such a big difference. Kazakhs knew me well even before I won the title, but after I won the belt, media started to pay more attention to me. It’s hard to say whether I won more fans because I had so many of them in Kazakhstan, but I hope that now in other countries there are more people who love the way I fight. People often recognize me on the streets of Kazakhstan, support me, ask for selfies. But I don’t feel like a star. I’m just a simple guy. Such attention does not bother me, because all Kazakhs are my relatives, how can I deny a selfie?
What is the secret of your knockout punch? Was it your goal to train such a hard punch?
AA: “It’s the will of Allah. We did not change the training plan, have been training striking and grappling as always. I am ready to go the full five round distance, במידת צורך. I am strong enough for the 25-minute fight and this is exactly what I always have in mind. We consider an opportunity to go somewhere for training camp, but now I need to fulfil the target, and win the undisputed title.
Not many people know about it, but you are a great grappler. Can you tell us about your grappling experience?
AA: “ואכן, I don’t talk much about it, but I have some experience in grappling as well. The thing is that in The Rage, I don’t like grappling, I prefer a stand-up fight. If my opponent wants to check my skills, I will demonstrate them. I am a combat jiu-jitsu master of sports of international class for a reason, after all.”
What can you say about your opponent Aleksander Doskalchuk?
AA: “Aleksander Doskalchuk is a very experienced all-around fighter. His fighting style is like that of one of my previous opponents, מיקאל סילנדר. He is good both at striking and grappling. I don’t know what game plan he is going to choose, but we will find it out very soon.”
Undoubtedly all of Kazakhstan will watch the broadcast, but will some fans of yours come to Saint Petersburg for the fight?
AA: “Many fans will come here from Kazakhstan, beside them will be a lot of Kazakhs living in Saint Petersburg, who will come to root for me. Even the Assembly of Kazakhs is going to support me. all this gives me an extra motivation!”

סנט פטרסבורג, רוסיה (מאי 21, 2018) – The “undisputed” M-1 Challenge flyweight title bout will be on the line this Thursday (מאי 24), when M-1 Challenge flyweight champion אלכסנדר Doskalchuk (בתמונה למעלה) and Interim titlist ארמן Ashimov square off in the אתגר M-1 92 אירוע משותף, at M-1 Arena in St. פטרסבורג, רוסיה.
Doskalchuk (8-1-0, M-1: 2-0-0), נלחם מתוך אוקראינה, won his title belt last September atאתגר M-1 83, when he used a Guillotine Choke to submit ואדים Malygin בסיבוב השני. Undefeated in M-1 competition, Doskalchuk won a majority decision in his M-1 debut last May, על Binh Son Le ב אתגר M-1 78.
Ashimov (8-2-1, M-1: 3-0-0) earned his Interim title shot this past February by stopping גאדזימוראד אלייב ו Ervani Melonio with punches, בהתאמה, in the second and first rounds. ב אתגר M-1 87, the powerfully striking Kazakh punched out Mikael Silander in two rounds to capture the M-1 Challenge Interim Flyweight Championship.
Doskalchuk (בתמונה למעלה) sat down on the hot seat to participate in an exclusive one-on-one conversation:
It’s been seven months since you won the title. Why did you have to take such a long break?
AD: “I had to take time to heal all my injuries. There were problems with my ankle, so I could not train and fight for a few months. בזמן הקרוב, we’ll see how this break will affect my performance. All my injuries are in the past and I am ready to win the upcoming fight and become the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion.
What did you feel when you were told an interim title was to be introduced?
AD: “I felt nothing. The interim title does not mean anything to me and I have concentrated only on one thing: winning my fights. It is known that Ashimov is a very fast fighter and has power in his hands. I can’t say anything about his endurance, because it all depends on the way the fight goes. We’ll see how good his endurance is very soon into our fight.”
How do you think your fight will go? Are you going to use your advantage in grappling?
AD: “I am ready for a five-round battle and, כמובן, I will be looking for an opportunity to finish my opponent at all times. I would not say that my tactics will be focused on submissions. Take a look at my fights; I love boxing and in MMA you cannot rely on just one aspect.
Your fight against Ashimov was rescheduled from the last weekend’s show in China to May 24th in Saint Petersburg, רוסיה. How did it change your training plan?
AS: “I was ready to fight on May 12th, but Arman did not get his visa, so we had to change plans for the new date. Maybe it’s for the best. The flight to Saint Petersburg is easier and faster than to China. דרך אגב, בסנט פטרסבורג, many more fans will come to root for me. Support is a very important part of the game and I am grateful to all the fans who will root for me at M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, and everybody who will hold their fingers crossed watching the broadcast!”

6′ 6″, 265-pound Vyazigin, who is coming off a sensational 16-seconds knockout ofZaur Gadzhibabayev this past March at אתגר M-1 89, sat in the “hot seat” leading up to Thursday’s showdown to answer some questions:
Tell us about your training camp. Did you change a lot of your regular training methods for a fight against Kharitonov?
AV: “My training camp was no different from any other camp. כמו תמיד, I had many sparring sessions, wrestled a lot, and was focused on functional training. In general, it was just another camp. I trained at home in Cherepovets, because this is where I belong. I have good relations with fighters from many gyms, but I have never gone anywhere to a training camp. I don’t have enough money to go abroad for a camp, I work for myself.
I feel comfortable training in my gym. I have a great team, including some heavyweights, and we always help each other. If I have a fight scheduled, guys help me; if some other guys have fights, we all help them.”
How much will you weigh for the fight?
AV: “I think this time I will be at least 265 pounds before the fight, maybe even a bit heavier. I would not say I am that huge, there are many guys bigger than me. When I was a child, I used to be skinny and tall and only when I was n the Army did I start to gain weight. עכשיו, when I am 265 קילו. I breath good, and I think this weight is perfect for me.
What are your predictions for the upcoming fight? Are you going to fight Kharitonov standing or would like to take him down?
AV: In our weight class, one missed punch can end the fight, so I think we have equal chances to win this fight. During camp, we train for everything, so I will be ready to fight him standing but, במידת צורך, I will take him down, because it is very important in MMA to be able to change the game plan during the fight.”
Give us your thoughts on the vacant M-1 Challenge heavyweight title. Do you see yourself as champion in a couple more fights?
AV: “עכשיו, I am concentrated on the upcoming fight but, כן, definitely if I win this fight I will be the No. 1 מתחרה במשקל כבד. עם זאת, I do not think about it right now. My goal is to fight the strongest and most experienced opponents, who are rated higher than me.
“I am not fighting in Saint-Petersburg for the first time and I really enjoy competing in this city. I think some fans will root for Sergey, but there will also be a lot of fans supporting me in the M-1 Arena on May 24th!”
