M-1 Challenge 93 Weights & Pictures

Hunyo 1, 2018 FNU47 Leave sa usa ka comment

SANTOS Petersburg, Russia (Mayo 31, 2018) – The official weight in was held today forugma sa M-1 Challenge 93 at Chelyabinsk, Russia.

American fighter Joe “Diesel” Riggs experienced a long, costly trip from the U.S. to Chelyabinsk to challenge undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artiom Frolov in the co-featured event.

“On my way to Russia,” Riggs explained his journey, “we took an Uber to get to the airport. We had an accident. I wanted to take another Uber, but the cops would not let me leave, because they wanted to send me to the hospital to get checked. One of my cornermen had to go to the hospital because he was seated in the part of the car that has been damaged.

“I called the guys in M-1 Global and told them I was not going to make the flight to California. They were freaking out and said there is no way I could miss the flight and come the next day because it would mess everything up. I bought tickets for another flight to California, which would give me around 40 minutes to get in on time for the connection flight to Moscow. I had a choice of either taking my bags and staying overnight in California or leaving my bags and flying right away to Russia. I chose the second option, left my bags, and made it to Moscow. Karon, I kind of regret that decision because it cost me around $20,000, which I will lose in sponsorship, but it’s all good, everything happens for a reason.

“Winning the belt would be a great end for my career. M-1 Global is a fantastic organization! This will be my fourth world title and it really means a lot for me. The guy I’m fighting, Artem Frolov, is not well-known, but he will probably be one of the best fighters I’ve ever fought! Anytime you fight for the title, you feel pressure. I was supposed to be the UFC champion when I was 22, but I would not show up for certain fights. I would not fight up to my potential and now I want to enter The Rage, show my best, and get that belt.”

CRESPO OUT, MURPHY IN AGAINST ARNOLD IN NEF TITLE FIGHT

Mayo 31, 2018 FNU47 Leave sa usa ka comment

Portland, Maine (Mayo 31, 2018) – Earlier this week, New England away (Kaha) officials were informed that Mike Crespo had been injured during his fight camp and would be unable to compete at “Kaha 34: Home of the Brave” sa Hunyo 16 in Portland. Crespo had originally been scheduled to face Kam Arnold (3-0) for the vacant NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Championship. Killian Murphy (1-0) has stepped up to replace Crespo and take on Arnold at Aura for the 135-pound title in a scheduled five-round affair.

Murphy made his debut at “NEF 33” last month in Portland with an impressive victory over Krishna Scott (0-1) pinaagi sa first-round technical knockout. He is no stranger to the winner’s circle. Murphy is a former Maine state wrestling champion, having captured a class-A title for Marshwood High School in Elliott in 2015. Karon, he trains with Nostos MMA in Somersworth, New Hampshire under the guidance of UFC signee, and former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, Devin Powell (8-3). Murphy was originally scheduled to compete against Gabriel Diaz of Florida at “NEF 34,” but Diaz pulled out of that fight earlier this month.

“It’s an exciting turn of events to end up fighting for the 135-pound belt,” said Murphy. “The goal when I started this journey was to win that belt – and I am thankful for this opportunity. I want to thank NEF, my coaches, my teammates and supporters. June 16th, I’m taking that belt home to Nostos.”

Perhaps no other member of the NEF roster has had the run in the last twelve months that Kam Arnold has had. He has cut through three opponents in the first round like a hot knife through butter including an eleven-second knockout of veteran David Thompson last month at “NEF 33.” Arnold is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of Lewiston, Maine.

"Una sa, I just want to say ‘thank you’ to Killian for accepting this fight, and also to Matt Peterson for finding me another opponent,” said Arnold when reached for comment. “Killian’s an up-and-coming, exciting fighter – and I’m excited to clash with him. I know he’s going to come ready and he’s going to be looking to shake up this division and make a statement. I’m going to continue to work hard, make an adjustment to the strategy and go balls-to-the-wall from there. This will be a great fight – and I will be NEF’s next 135-pound champ.”

“Nothing excites me more than when an athlete steps up on short notice and seizes an opportunity to grab glory – and that’s what Killian Murphy has done by agreeing to take this bout against an undefeated animal like Kam Arnold,” declared NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Kam has looked unstoppable since he debuted less than a year ago – and now we get to see him test himself against a decorated wrestler for a chance at NEF gold. As if this card wasn’t already summer fireworks – now we get to see two undefeated studs try to knock each other off over the course of a five-round championship fight. Kini dili sa bisan unsa nga mas maayo pa kay sa niini!"

ni NEF sunod mixed-martial arts event, “Kaha 34: Home of the Brave,” will take place at Aura in Portland, Maine on Saturday, Hunyo 16, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online at www.AuraMaine.com.

Mahitungod sa New England away

SA TINUOD NGA INTERVIEW CHRIS “Ang Greek Assassin” KELADES

Mayo 31, 2018 FNU47 Leave sa usa ka comment

Chris Kaledes (R) ang pagpamusil alang sa iyang ikaduha nga tul-id nga M-1 nga kadaugan karong Biyernes

Chelyabinsk, Russia (Mayo 30, 2018) – Ang gipanganak sa Greece nga flyweight Chris “Ang Greek Kelades” Kelades (12-3-0, M-1: 1-0-0), nakig-away sa gawas sa Dartmouth, Canada, gikuha sa fighter Ukrainian Alexander Pletenko (13-4-0, M;1: 0-0-0) karong Biyernes sa gabii sa M-1 Challenge 93 nag-unang card, sa Chelyabinsk, Russia.

Gihimo ni Kelades ang iyang malampuson nga M-1 Global debut kaniadtong Nobyembre sa M-1 Challenge 86, sa iyang pagpildi Oleg Lichkovakha pinaagi sa usa ka ikatulo nga-round pagpasakop (Kimura).

Kapin sa tunga- tuig gikan sa imong debut sa M-1 Global. Ngano nga dugay ka nakapahulay?

CK: “Lisud tuohan kini dugay na. Angay unta ako makig-away pag-usab sa Marso, apan adunay mga problema nga makuha ang akong pagbiyahe nga visa nga sigurado, busa na rebooked ko nga makig-away kaniadtong Abril pero, Subo, ang kalihokan gitapos. Busa, Andam na ako nga makig-away, apan ang mga kahimtang nakausab sa mga petsa. Nalipay ko alang sa kini nga away ug nagpaabut nga makig-away sa Chelyabinsk. Duha ka beses nga nakansela ang akong away ug grabe kini kapakyasan, apan gihatagan ko kini dugang nga oras aron magtrabaho sa akong dula ug makakat-on sa bag-ong mga pamaagi.”

Sa imong M-1 Global debut, mabinantayon ka kaayo sa una nga duha ka hugna, apan sa ikatulong hugna nakakuha ka usa ka pagsumite. Mao ba kini ang imong tinuud nga istilo sa away o gusto ba nimo nga modaog sa una nga away nga wala’y peligro?

CK: Ang matag away sa lain-laing. Usahay sa usa ka bag-ong palibot kinahanglan nga mas dugay nga mabati ang pagsugod sa away ug kinahanglan nimo nga basahon ang kontra sa dili pa ka agresibo nga molihok.”

Unsa may imong ikasulti bahin sa imong sunod nga kontra, Alexander Pletenko? Adunay ka parehas nga mga rekord. Nagpasabut ba ikaw adunay parehas nga mga istilo sa away?

CK: “Nakita nako ang pipila sa iyang mga away ug wala ako maghunahuna nga adunay parehas kami nga mga istilo. Nakig-away ako sa labing maayo nga mga tawo sa kalibutan ug sa piho nga lebel nga labi ka lisud ang paghuman sa mga away.”

Sa wala pa moapil sa M-1 Global wala ka pa makig-away bisan asa ang North America. Unsa man ang gibati nga makig-away sa tunga sa kalibutan nga layo sa imong balay?

CH: “Nahimuot gyud ako sa akong kaugalingon sa katapusan nga higayon sa akong debut sa M-1 Global. Ang pagbiyahe usa ka gamay nga gubot sa gilay-on, apan nalingaw kaayo ako nga nakig-away sa internasyonal ug dinhi sa Russia. Gusto ko nga mag-away palayo tungod kay nalipay ako nga pamatud-an ang akong kaugalingon sa ubang mga manggugubat ug mga fans. Kini nagdasig kanako!”

IN THE RAGE INTEVIEW Artem Frolov

Mayo 30, 2018 FNU47 Leave sa usa ka comment

Chelyabinsk, Russia (Mayo 29, 2018) – Undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov (10-0-0, M-1: 7-0-0) defends his title for the first time this Friday against American favorite Joe “Diesel” Riggs (47-17-1, M-1: 2-0-1) sa M-1 Challenge 93 kauban nga hitabo, sa Chelyabinsk, Russia.

Frolov has knocked out four of his opponents and submitted four others. Last October, Frolov captured the belt by defeating UFC veteran Caio Magalhaes, sa Brazil, by unanimous decision and he needed a break to heal his injuries.

Artem Frolov (L) puts his perfect record and M-1 Challenge middleweight title belt on the line this Friday against Joe “Diesel” Riggs

Sa 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. Siyempre, there are also some distraction factors, which do not let me fight more often like, for example, 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. Apan, 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.

“Siyempre, 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. Busa, 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, trust me, 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. Apan, it feels great to win via submission as well, especially when it is a beautiful one. Ingon sa usa ka butang sa kamatuoran, 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. Busa, I prefer to finish the fights early.

M-1 HAGIT 92 RESULTA & HULAGWAY

Sergei Kharitonov vs. Anton Vyazigin declared

“Walay Contest”

Aleksander Doskalchuk crowned undisputed

M-1 Challenge flyweight champion

Aleksander Doskalchuk is now the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion

SANTOS Petersburg, Russia (Mayo 25, 2018) – Last night’s SuperFight between Russian heavyweight star Sergei Kharitonov and his main event challenger, Anton Vyazigin, was declared a “no contest” ug Alexander Doskalchuk established himself as the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion last night at M-1 Challenge 92 at M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

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 Vadim 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 M-1 Challenge 95: Gubat sa Kabukiran, which will happen in July in Ingushetia, Russia.

“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.”

Sergei 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. Siyempre, Gusto ko nga sa usa ka rematch, our story has not ended.”

Doskalchuk (9-1-0), nakig-away gikan sa Ukraine, entered The Rage as the M-1 Challenge flyweight champion to take on M-1 Challenge Interim flyweight titlist Arman Ashimov (8-3-1), sa Kazakhstan. Ashimov was unable to continue after two rounds due to a hand injury.

Brazilian welterweight Tiago “Bahia” Varejao (27-5-1) turned in an impressive M-1 debut, taking a majority decision from former M-1 Challenge title challenger Madaniyah Romanov (14-3-0).

Giga Kukhalashvili (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 “Ragnar” Lebout (17-9-2), sa Pransiya.

Sa preliminary card, Russian heavyweight Maksim Baruzdin (1-0-0) won his pro debut, stopping Cuban giant Freddi Gonzales (0-2-0) in the opening round via punches, Russian lightweight prospect Alexey “Phenomenal” Ilyenko (8-0-0) lived up to his nickname, remaining undefeated by unleashing a barrage of kicks and punches for a third-round knockout of Helson Henriques (9-6-1), of Angola.

Kyrgyzstan featherweight Azibek Satibaldiev (7-4-0) was disqualified in the second round for kicking a grounded fighter, German challenger Saba Bolaghi (9-1-1), Russian nga featherweight Mikhail Kuznetson (6-4-1) used a guillotine choke to submit fellow countryman Nikita Solonin (4-2-0) sa round sa duha ka, and Ukrainian bantamweight Ludwig Sholinyan (2-0-1) ugAlexander Osetrov (4-0-1) fought to a three-round majority draw.

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

Fighters represented 10 different countries: Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Brazil, Georgia, France, Angola, Germany, Cuba and Kyrgyzstan.

BANTAMWEIGHT BOUT ADDED TO ALREADY-STACKED PORTLAND FIGHT CARD

Mayo 24, 2018 FNU47 Leave sa usa ka comment

Portland, Maine (Mayo 24, 2018) – Last week New England Fights (Kaha) released the official card for its upcoming return to Aura in Portland, Maine. The mixed-martial-arts event, nga nag-ulohang “Kaha 34: Home of the Brave,” is scheduled to take place on Saturday night, Hunyo 16, 2018 with a bell-time of 7:00 pm EDT. NEF matchmakers, Apan, were still hard at work on adding fights to the card, and earlier today they announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight bout to the event. Henry Clark (3-4) moatubang Dave Brown (1-3) sa usa ka away gibug-aton sa 135-libra.

The lead-up to “NEF 34” has been somewhat of a wild ride for Henry Clark. He was originally scheduled to face Florida’s Krishna Scott (0-1) on the card. Just prior to the announcement of the full fight card, Scott’s camp informed NEF that he was pulling out of the fight. Clark remained in training camp at the Choi Institute in Portland in the hope that NEF matchmakers would find him a replacement opponent. When Dave Brown stepped up to the plate, Clark was quick to accept the opportunity to fight in front of his hometown fans and friends once more.

“I’m so grateful that Dave Brown stepped up,” Miingon Clark. “It takes a lot of guts to take a short notice fight. I would have fought anyone on a week’s notice if it meant fighting in Portland. It’s great motivation for me to finish up my camp knowing who I’m fighting. I’m coming to showcase and steal the show.”

Usa ka lumad sa North Andover, Massachusetts, Dave Brown is a three-fight veteran of the NEF cage. Prior to his time competing in MMA, Brown wrestled for Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire. He will return to NEF after a three-year absence following his loss to Norman Fox in the spring of 2015. Brown, “‘Downtown’ Dave Brown” as he is known to his fans and friends, is looking forward to his return to action.

“I’ve seen Henry Clark in action and I have a lot of respect for his abilities,” said Brown when reached for comment. “But come June 16, I’m gonna take him down… all the way downtown!”

ni NEF sunod mixed-martial arts event, “Kaha 34: Home of the Brave,” will take place at Aura in Portland, Maine on Saturday, Hunyo 16, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online at www.AuraMaine.com.

Sergey Kharitonov

M-1 Challenge 92 magamit usab sa www.FITE.TV(preliminary card mao ang free, $7.99 alang sa mga nag-unang card)

The 37-year-old Kharitonov has defeated a Who’s Who of some of top heavyweight MMA fighters, lakip Alister Overeem, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum ug Pedro Rizzo.

Kharitonov had a few last words before the action officially begins:

Sergey, you have had 33 professional MMA during your career and now you are 37 ka tuig ang panuigon. 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, for example, 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. Busa, I am ready for this. MMA is my passion, but I love kickboxing, usab, 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: “Kini tanan nagsalig. One fighter can reach his prime at 25, another one at 35, apan, sa akong opinyon, 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. At this stage of my career, 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. Bisan pa niana, I usually watch my opponents’ away. 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, a year, sa duha ka, sa tulo ka, maybe even five? These guys have long careers ahead and they have to keep growing and showing their best!”
