KAZAN, ರಷ್ಯಾ (ಸೆಪ್ಟೆಂಬರ್ 29, 2018) – Undefeated Russian wrestling sensation Roman Bogatov captured the vacant M-1 Challenge lightweight title last night, taking a unanimous decision over Rubenilton “Rubinho” ಪಿಯರ್, ರಲ್ಲಿ M Challenge 97 / Tatfight 7 ಮುಖ್ಯ ಈವೆಂಟ್, held in Kazan, ರಷ್ಯಾ.
The judges were very busy as all five main event fights, plus three of five undercard matches, went the full distance on a card of evenly matched fights.
Competing fighters represented nine different countries: ರಷ್ಯಾ, ಬ್ರೆಜಿಲ್, ಸ್ಪೇನ್, ಫ್ರಾನ್ಸ್, ಕೆನಡಾ, ಚೀನಾ, Finland, Azerbaijan and Northern Ireland.
ಒರೆನ್ಬರ್ಗ್ ಹೊರಗೆ ಹೋರಾಟ, ರಷ್ಯಾ, Bogatov improved his pro MMA record to 7-0, 6-0 ಎಂ 1 ಜಾಗತಿಕ ಸ್ಪರ್ಧೆಯಲ್ಲಿ, displaying improved striking ability to complement his outstanding wrestling skills.
Pereira’s (20-6-0) superior BJJ techniques from bottom were nullified Bogatov when the fight went down to the mat. Pereira was adversely affected by Bogatov’s takedown attack, which opened-up strong punches to Pereira’s head, resulting in a flash knockdown in the third round. Pereira got back in the fight midway through round four, connecting with punches and knees to the body, but the Brazilian needed a strong fifth and final round to win a decision. Bogatov, ಆದರೆ, remained aggressive, firing strikes and making take-downs, on his way to a unanimous five-found decision and the coveted M-1 Challenge lightweight title belt.
ಸಹ ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿತ್ತು ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ, veteran Spanish middleweight Enoc ಟಾರ್ರೆಸ್ ಬಗೆಹರಿಸುವ (23-10-1) registered a unanimous decision victory against previously undefeated ರುಸ್ಲಾನ್ Shamilov (4-1-0), ರಶಿಯಾ. Torres decked Shamilov early in the opening round, controlled the match, never relenting for a hard-earned win.
Past M-1 Challenge title challenger Maxim Grabovich (9-4-0), ರಶಿಯಾ, overcame a rocky moment in the second round against his Brazilian opponent, Tiago Varejao Lacerda (27-6-1), to control most of the action to take a split decision.
French lightweight Mickael “Ragnar” Lebouಟಿ (18-9-2) and always tough Russian ಅಲೆಕ್ಸೆಯ್ “ನಿಯೋಜನೆ” ಮ್ಯಾಂಕ್ನೊ battled tooth and nail in a bloody war (see pictures below). Lebout hit Makhno in the face with everything but the proverbial kitchen sink, but the Russian refused to go down and even landed a few solid shots on Lebout, who also has good “whiskers”. Lebout won an entertaining fight by way of a unanimous three-round decision.
In the main card opener, dangerous striker Pavel Gordeev (12-1-0) edged grappling specialist Alik Albogachiev (5-1-0) by way of a split decision in a showdown between Russian lightweights. The fighters were upright in the first two rounds, much to Gordeev’s advantage, and the previously Albogachiev was unable to close the gap in the final frame.
Undercard ರಂದು, Canadian welterweight Spencer “Judge” Jebb (13-6-0) ಮೊದಲ ಸುತ್ತಿನ ನಾಕ್ಡೌನ್ ನಿವಾರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡರು, pounding his way to a unanimous decision versus Russian ವ್ಲಾಡಿಮಿರ್ “The Woodcutter” Tyurin (4-4-0) and another Canadian, ಬಾಂಟಮ್ ಕ್ರಿಸ್ “The Greek Assassin” Kelades (13-4-0) outworked the much younger ಸೆರ್ಗೆ Klyuev (6-2-0), ರಶಿಯಾ, to win a three-round unanimous decision.
ರಷ್ಯಾದ Featherweight Timur Dorinin (4-1-0) locked in a rear naked choke to defeat Kangkang “The Knife” Fu (3-3-0), ಆಫ್ ಚೀನಾ, by submission in round two.
Finnish lightweight Jani Salmi (9-6-0) scored his second M-1 victory, using a rear naked choke for an opening round win by submission over Ruslan Khisamutdinov (10-5-0), ರಶಿಯಾ. In a spirited match between Russian bantamweights, settled by a unanimous decision, Ivan Eremenko (8-2-0) was too much to handle for Nidzhat Imanov (4-4-1).
On the pre-undercard, Russian heavyweight Nikolay Rachek (8-6-0) punched out Midaugas Gerve (3-2-0), fighting out of Northern, ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್, via an unanswered barrage in the opening round. ರಷ್ಯಾದ ಮಿಡಲ್ Denis Titulialin (3-3-0) connected with a devastating knee, knocking out pro-debuting, fellow countryman Nikita Shamov ರೌಂಡ್ ಒಂದು. Azerbaijan welterweight Gadzhibaba Gadzhibabaev turned in an impressive pro debut, ರಷ್ಯಾದ ನಾಕ್ಔಟ್ Zakhar Popel (1-1-0) via punches midway through the first round.

ಸೇಂಟ್ ಪೀಟರ್ಸ್ಬರ್ಗ್, ರಷ್ಯಾ (ಸೆಪ್ಟೆಂಬರ್ 26, 2018) — Undefeated Russian rising star Roman Bogatov ಪಡೆದಿರುತ್ತದೆ, Brazilian mixed-martial-arts veteran Rubenilton Pereira (20-5-0, ಎಂ 1: 4-2-0) this Friday in the M-1 Challenge 97 / Tatfight 7 ಮುಖ್ಯ ಈವೆಂಟ್, ಫಾರ್ the vacant M-1 Challenge 97 lightweight title, at Kazan, ರಷ್ಯಾ.

The M-1 Challenge lightweight crown is vacant because the last champion, Damir Ismagulov, recently relinquished his title to sign a UFC contract.
Bogatov (6-0-0, ಎಂ 1: 5-0-0) is a submission master, four of his six pro victories have been by way of choke-outs, because of his dangerous grappling skills and techniques. In his last fight this past June at ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ 94, Bogatov earned his title shot by defeating always tough ರೌಲ್ Tutarauli (18-5-0), whose previous fight was a decision loss to Ismagulov in the latter’s final M-1 Challenge title defense.
Bogatov recently entered The Rage to answer a few questions of interest:
How was training camp?
RB: “For the fight against Pereira, I’ve trained in Ekaterinburg, ರಷ್ಯಾ, at RMK Academy with famous fighters like Ivan Shtyrkov, ಅಲೆಕ್ಸೆಯ್ Kunchenko, ಮಿಖಾಯಿಲ್ Ragozin, Artur Karavaev and Pavel Gordeev, who was preparing for his fight at the same event, ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ 97 / Tatfight 7. In camp, I have focused on my cardio, because this is the foundation of my success and a key to victory. I also had many sparring and wrestling sessions and had CrossFit workouts in the morning.”
What advantages do you have over your opponent?
RB: “I have will power, wrestling and grappling skills and I’m ready to constantly push forward and dominate this fight. Pereira is a patient and tough opponent, so it’s not simple to finish him. He is used to long fights, has good cardio, decent striking and wrestling skills and as any Brazilian, he has a solid BJJ game.”
How is it preparing for this fight?
RB: “Before fights I am doing my best not to think too much about the upcoming battle. I prefer just to train and spend time with my family and friends. Right before the fight, you start to pump yourself up. When you need to cut weight, you become a bit more aggressive, because that’s not an easy thing to do. At the face-off when you are looking right into the eyes of your opponent, you get a boost of motivation and can’t wait to enter The Rage.”
What is your goal?
RB: “My goal is to win the belt, defend it, and be an active and dominant champion. Some of the M-1 Challenge champs have signed contracts with the UFC and I would love to follow their path in the future.”
What is your best experience?
RB: “The most pleasant thing in the game is not the victory itself, not even winning the belt. The best thing is the feeling when you come back home, see the smile on your mother’s face, and give hugs to your parents and family. This is the best feeling in the world.”

ಸೇಂಟ್ ಪೀಟರ್ಸ್ಬರ್ಗ್, ರಷ್ಯಾ (ಸೆಪ್ಟೆಂಬರ್ 21, 2018) — Brazilian mixed-martial-arts veteran Rubenilton Pereira faces undefeated Russian rising star Roman Bogatov(6-0-0), ಸೆಪ್ಟೆಂಬರ್ 29, ಫಾರ್ the vacant M-1 Challenge 97 lightweight title, ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್: Tatfight in Kazam, ರಷ್ಯಾ.
ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ 97 ಇರುತ್ತದೆ ಹೈ ಡೆಫಿನಿಷನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ರಷ್ಯಾದಿಂದ ನೇರ ಪ್ರಸಾರದ www.M1Global.TV. ವೀಕ್ಷಕರು ನೊಂದಣಿ ಮೇಲೆ ಲಾಗಿಂಗ್ ಮೂಲಕ ಪ್ರಾಥಮಿಕ ಪಂದ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತು ಮುಖ್ಯ ಕಾರ್ಡ್ ವೀಕ್ಷಿಸಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ www.M1Global.TV. ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲ ಕ್ರಮ ವೀಕ್ಷಿಸಬಹುದು, ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಆಂಡ್ರಾಯ್ಡ್ ಮತ್ತು ಆಪಲ್ ಸ್ಮಾರ್ಟ್ ಫೋನ್ ಮತ್ತು ಟ್ಯಾಬ್ಲೆಟ್ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಎಂದು. ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ 97 will also be is available on www.FITE.TV (preliminary card is free, $7.99 for the main card).
The M-1 Challenge lightweight crown is vacant because the last champion, Damir Ismagulov, recently relinquished his title to sign a UFC contract.
ಪಿಯರ್ (20-5-0, ಎಂ 1: 4-2-0) ಕೊನೆಯ ನಾಲ್ಕು ಪಂದ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಗೆದ್ದಿದ್ದಾರೆ, including a technical knockout in his last action, also at ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ 94 last June, ಯಾವಾಗ Oktom Baktybek ws unable to continue to fight after the opening round. Pereira’s two M-1 Global losses have been to a pair of M-1 Challenge champions, Ismagulov and ಅಲೆಕ್ಸಾಂಡರ್ Butenko, both by decision.
Pereira recently entered The Rage to answer a few questions of interest:
How do you feel about this title shot and not getting a rematch against?
RP: “I’m very thankful for the opportunity to fight for the title. I have been working hard to receive my title shot and, ಸಹಜವಾಗಿ, I was hoping to have a rematch with the champ, Damir Ismagulov. I was surprised when they told me Ismagulov left the belt vacant to sign with the UFC. I’m happy for him. He is a great fighter and I know he can become the UFC champion, too”.
How do you feel about fighting in M-1 Global?
RP: “I enjoy fighting in M-1 Global and I’d like to stay here for a long time. They’ve treated me really good. ಈಗ, I’m on a four-fight winning streak, but I was not that successful when I first joined the promotion. After two losses in a row I thought they were going to send me home, but they gave me another chance and I seized it.
How do you effectively drop nearly 50 pounds from your walk-around weight to fight as a lightweight?
RP: “I have no special secret. ನಾನು ಹಾರ್ಡ್ ತರಬೇತಿ, three times a day, Sunday to Sunday. Usually, I weigh around 92 ಕೆಜಿ (203 ಪೌಂಡ್), but I never miss weight and always make 70 ಕೆಜಿ (154 ಪೌಂಡ್) for the weigh-ins. Some think this is a huge advantage for me in the fight but, trust me, I suffer much more than anybody to make weight.”
What do you know about your next opponent, Roman Bogatov?
“Roman Bogatov is a tough opponent. Maybe he has better wrestling and takedowns, but I’m a much better grappler. I’m self-confident and know that I can tap him out. If he takes me down, that’s better for me. I had a great camp and I’m ready for five rounds, but one of us will fall before round three.”

M-1 Global veterans & ex-champions Talk about M-1 & UFC Moscow
|
ಸೇಂಟ್ ಪೀಟರ್ಸ್ಬರ್ಗ್, ರಷ್ಯಾ (ಸೆಪ್ಟೆಂಬರ್ 14, 2018) – M-1 Global veterans and former champions recently expressed their thoughts and opinions about their M-1 experiences and tomorrow’s (ಏಳು. 15) UFC Moscow card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.
Alexei Oleinik, M-1 Global veteran, ವಿರುದ್ಧ. Mark Hunt in UFC Moscow main event:
“M-1 Global is a great Russian promotion and I really enjoyed the time when I fought there. Each fight for me was another step in my career. We did not choose opponents, had rated fights, and took part in the Grand-Prix.”
ಅಲೆಕ್ಸಾಂಡರ್ ವೊಲ್ಕೊವ್, ಮಾಜಿ ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ ಹೆವಿವೇಯ್ಟ್ ಚಾಂಪಿಯನ್:
“One of the best moments that I had in M-1 Global was the victory for our team at M-1 Selection. At that time there were team competitions in M-1 Global and I miss that format. Another great moment was when I won the M-1 Challenge heavyweight title. Every important fight is very memorable.”
“My first M-1 Global fights were in M-1 Selection team competitions, which helped me as a young fighter to start my career, find my place in this sport and understand that I belong to MMA. At the time it was a great opportunity for young athletes to demonstrate their skills and show up on local TV stations, so M-1 Global was the first step in my professional career.”
“UFC has a huge impact on development of the Russian MMA market. The partnership between M-1 Global and UFC gives M-1 Global many advantages on the local market and makes it much more attractive for Russian fighters. All mixed martial artists have a dream to fight in the UFC and now the way is clear. As we’ve seen many times, top fighters and champions from M-1 Global compete on the highest level in the UFC.”
ರಂಜಾನ್ Emeev, former M-1 Challenge middleweight champion, ವಿರುದ್ಧ. Stefan Sekulic at UFC Moscow
“I feel some responsibility for this fight because I’m fighting at home. Many friends and fans will come to root for me and I don’t want to let them down. I want to put on a great show, win the fight, and make everyone who’s supporting me happy.
“Since I’m fighting at home, I don’t have to fly somewhere and acclimate. In my previous fights I had to fly across the ocean to compete. ಈಗ, it’s their turn, and everything will be by my rules.”
Rustam Khabilov M-1 Global veteran, ವಿರುದ್ಧ. Kajan Johnson at UFC Moscow
“There’s a great responsibility fighting at home when the crowd is waiting for you. It doesn’t matter whether it’s M-1 Global or UFC. Crowds are the same. Many friends and fans will be worried, and they’ll come to root for me, so I owe this victory to them. I must win. That’s why I trained three times as hard for this fight. ಈಗ, I’m anticipating an opponent. Everything will be fine.”
Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, one of best MMA coaches in the world and father of UFC and former M-1 Global fighter Kabib Nurmagomedov
“M-1 Global is the history of Russian MMA and it’s not a coincidence that many fighters who started their careers in M-1 Global are very successful in the MMA world. M-1 Global was a foundation for mixed martial arts in Russia, faced some challenges, learned from their mistakes and kept moving forward. Most Russian fighters who are now signed with the UFC came exactly from M-1 Global.”

Upcoming M-1 Challenge Event:
ಏಳು. 28 – ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ 97 in Kazan, ರಷ್ಯಾ
Fighting in UFC dream come true for M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov
|
ಏಳು. 15 at UFC Moscow vs. C.B. Dollaway |
|
ಸೇಂಟ್ ಪೀಟರ್ಸ್ಬರ್ಗ್, ರಷ್ಯಾ (ಸೆಪ್ಟೆಂಬರ್ 5, 2018) – Fighting in the UFC is a dream come true for undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion ವೆಲ್ Frolov (11-0-0, ಎಂ 1: 8-0-0), who will make his UFC debut September 15, fighting on the UFC Moscow card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.
Frolov recently agreed on short notice (2 weeks) to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against veteran American fighter C.B. “The Doberman” Dollaway (17-8-0).
Fighting at home in Russia, the 26-year-old Frolov won his M-1 Challenge title belt last October, when he took a unanimous decision from Caio Magalhaes ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ 84. This past June at ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ 93, Frolov made his first and lone title defense to date against Joe Riggs, who suffered a knee injury that led to a doctor’s stoppage in the second round.
ನಿನ್ನೆ, Frolov sat down for a one-on-one interview:
How long have you working on a deal to sign with UFC?
AF: “My manager has been working on signing me with the UFC for a while, but until the last few days, we had no solid agreement. A few days ago, they finally offered me a contract and asked to step in to replace an injured fighter at UFC Moscow.
“I thought it over and decided it was a great opportunity to join the UFC, which I did not want to miss. I would not say this contract was a surprise for me, people have been working on it, so I was ready.”
How does it feel to sign with UFC?
AF: “I’m excited to sign with the best promotion in the world, but I know that my debut fight won’t be easy, I’m stepping in on a short notice just two weeks before the show. I was going to defend my belt in M-1 Global in a couple months, so now I need to cut weight fast. The most difficult thing is not just to cut weight, but afterwards to recover well. ಯುಎಫ್‌ಸಿಯಲ್ಲಿ, IVs are banned and you have to be extremely careful with supplements you take to recover.”
What shape are you in for this fight considering only two-week’s notice?
AF: “I was preparing for a fight in M-1 Global, so I’m in good shape. We are going to work on my speed now but first, I have to cut weight. Once in my career I took a fight on a short notice, I had three weeks to prepare and I won that fight by TKO in the second round.”
What do you know about your opponent, C.B. Dollaway?
AF: “I’ve seen a couple of C.B. Dollaway’s UFC fights, but I have never considered him as my opponent, so did not pay too much attention to him. There are many good fighters in the UFC, so I can’t say that I know a lot about my opponent. We don’t have not enough time to concentrate on him, so we’ll concentrate on me.”
When do you feel you can challenge the top UFC fighters in your weight class?
AF: “I’m not going to demand huge fights with the top opponents in the UFC. I’ll take my time and be ready to fight any opponent they’ll give me. I need time to get used to new conditions, tune up my preparation, and put in order the whole system and then I will be ready for any challenges.
“Everything is in our hands; nothing is impossible. If someone wants something badly, sets a goal and works hard to achieve it, he or she will succeed. I’m just a regular guy who had a dream to fight in the UFC and I made it. Dream big, set goals and achieve them!”
