M-1 Challenge 97 will be live-streamed from Russia in high definition on www.M1Global.TV. Telespectatorii vor putea urmări luptele preliminare și cardul principal de logare pe înregistrarea la www.M1Global.TV. Fans may watch all the action on their computers, precum și pe Android si Apple telefoane inteligente și tablete. M-1 Challenge 97 also will be 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.
Bogatov (6-0-0, M-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 M-1 Challenge 94, Bogatov earned his title shot by defeating always tough Raul 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, Rusia, at RMK Academy with famous fighters like Ivan Shtyrkov, Alexey Kunchenko, Mikhail Ragozin, Artur Karavaev and Pavel Gordeev, who was preparing for his fight at the same event, M-1 Challenge 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.”

Pereira’s two M-1 Global losses have been to a pair of M-1 Challenge champions, Ismagulov and Alexander 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, desigur, 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. Acum, 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. Am antreneze din greu, three times a day, Sunday to Sunday. Usually, I weigh around 92 kg (203 lbs), but I never miss weight and always make 70 kg (154 lbs) 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.”

Veterani M-1 Global & foști campioni Vorbește despre M-1 & UFC Moscova
|
SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusia (Septembrie 14, 2018) – Veteranii M-1 Global și foști campioni și-au exprimat recent gândurile și opiniile despre experiențele lor M-1 și despre cele de mâine (Șapte. 15) Card UFC Moscova la Stadionul Olimpic din Moscova.
Alexei Oleinik, M-1 veteran global, vs. Mark Hunt la evenimentul principal al UFC Moscova:
“M-1 Global este o promoție rusească excelentă și mi-a plăcut foarte mult timpul când am luptat acolo. Fiecare luptă pentru mine a fost un alt pas în cariera mea. Nu am ales adversari, avusese lupte cotate, și a participat la Marele Premiu.”
Alexander Volkov, Fostul M-1 Challenge campion la categoria grea:
“Unul dintre cele mai bune momente pe care le-am avut la M-1 Global a fost victoria echipei noastre la M-1 Selection. La acea vreme, existau competiții pe echipe în M-1 Global și îmi lipsește acel format. Un alt moment minunat a fost când am câștigat titlul M-1 Challenge la categoria grea. Fiecare luptă importantă este foarte memorabilă.”
“Primele mele lupte globale M-1 au fost în competițiile echipei M-1 Selection, ceea ce m-a ajutat ca tânăr luptător să-mi încep cariera, găsiți-mi locul în acest sport și înțelegeți că aparțin MMA. La acea vreme, tinerii sportivi reprezentau o oportunitate excelentă de a-și demonstra abilitățile și de a apărea la posturile TV locale, deci M-1 Global a fost primul pas în cariera mea profesională.”
“UFC are un impact imens asupra dezvoltării pieței MMA din Rusia. Parteneriatul dintre M-1 Global și UFC oferă M-1 Global multe avantaje pe piața locală și îl face mult mai atractiv pentru luptătorii ruși. Toți artiștii marțiali mixți au un vis de a lupta în UFC și acum drumul este clar. După cum am văzut de multe ori, luptători de top și campioni de la M-1 Global concurează la cel mai înalt nivel din UFC.”
Ramadan Emeev, fost campion la categoria medie M-1 Challenge, vs. Stefan Sekulic la UFC Moscova
“Simt o oarecare responsabilitate pentru această luptă pentru că lupt acasă. Mulți prieteni și fani vor veni la rădăcină pentru mine și nu vreau să-i dezamăgesc. Vreau să susțin un spectacol grozav, câștigă lupta, și fericiți pe toți cei care mă susțin.
“Din moment ce mă lupt acasă, Nu trebuie să zbor undeva și să mă aclimatizez. În luptele mele anterioare a trebuit să zbor peste ocean pentru a concura. Acum, este rândul lor, și totul va fi conform regulilor mele.”
Rustam Khabilov M-1 Veteran global, vs. Kajan Johnson la UFC Moscova
“Acasă este o mare responsabilitate, când mulțimea te așteaptă. Nu contează dacă este vorba de M-1 Global sau UFC. Mulțimile sunt la fel. Mulți prieteni și fani vor fi îngrijorați, și vor veni să mă înrădăcineze, așa că le datorez această victorie. Trebuie să câștig. De aceea m-am antrenat de trei ori mai greu pentru această luptă. Acum, Aștept un adversar. Totul va fi bine.”
Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, unul dintre cei mai buni antrenori MMA din lume și tată al UFC și fostul luptător global M-1 Kabib Nurmagomedov
“M-1 Global este istoria MMA din Rusia și nu este o coincidență faptul că mulți luptători care și-au început cariera în M-1 Global au mare succes în lumea MMA. M-1 Global a fost o fundație pentru artele marțiale mixte din Rusia, s-au confruntat cu unele provocări, au învățat din greșelile lor și au continuat să avanseze. Majoritatea luptătorilor ruși care au semnat acum cu UFC provin exact de la M-1 Global.”

Fighting in UFC dream come true for M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov
|
Șapte. 15 at UFC Moscow vs. C.B. Dollaway |
|
SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusia (Septembrie 5, 2018) – Fighting in the UFC is a dream come true for undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov (11-0-0, M-1: 8-0-0), who will make his UFC debut September 15, fighting on the UFC Moscova card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.
Frolov recently agreed on short notice (2 săptămâni) to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against veteran American fighter C.B. “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 la-M 1 Challenge 84. This past June at M-1 Challenge 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.
Ieri, 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. In the UFC, 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!”
