M-1 sfida 93 pesi & Immagini

SAN PIETROBURGO, Russia (Maggio 31, 2018) – The official weight in was held today fordomani M-1 sfida 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. Ora, 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

Portland, Maine (Maggio 31, 2018) – Earlier this week, New England Combattimenti (NEF) officials were informed that Mike Crespo had been injured during his fight camp and would be unable to compete at “NEF 34: Home of the Brave” su Giugno 16 a 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 atNEF 33last month in Portland with an impressive victory over Krishna Scott (0-1) via primo turno ko tecnico. 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. Oggi, he trains with Nostos MMA in Somersworth, New Hampshire under the guidance of UFC signee, ed ex campione dei pesi leggeri professionisti NEF, Devin Powell (8-3). Murphy was originally scheduled to compete against Gabriel Diaz of Florida atNEF 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 beltand 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 atNEF 33. Arnold is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of Lewiston, Maine.

"Prima di tutto, 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 fighterand 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 fightand 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 gloryand 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 agoand 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 fireworksnow we get to see two undefeated studs try to knock each other off over the course of a five-round championship fight. Non c'è niente di meglio di questo!"

prossimo evento mixed-arti marziali di NEF, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” will take place at Aura in Portland, Maine on Saturday, Giugno 16, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online at www.AuraMaine.com.

IN THE RAGE INTERVIEW CHRIS “The Assassin greca” KELADES

Chris Kaledes (R) is shooting for his second straight M-1 victory questo Venerdì

CHELYABINSK, Russia (Maggio 30, 2018) – Greece-born flyweight Chris “The Greek Kelades” Kelades (12-3-0, M-1: 1-0-0), fighting out of Dartmouth, Canada, takes on Ukrainian fighter Alexander Pletenko (13-4-0, M;1: 0-0-0) this Friday night on the M-1 sfida 93 carta principale, a Chelyabinsk, Russia.

 

 

 

Kelades made his successful M-1 Global debut last November at M-1 Challenge 86, quando ha sconfitto Oleg Lichkovakha per mezzo di una trasmissione terzo turno (Kimura).

 

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, per sfortuna, the event was canceled. Così, 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: Ogni combattimento è diverso. 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. Mi motiva!”

IN THE RAGE INTEVIEW Artem Frolov

CHELYABINSK, Russia (Maggio 29, 2018) – Campione imbattuto dei pesi medi M-1 Challenge 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) nel M-1 sfida 93 evento co-presentato, a 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, del Brasile, 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

In 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. Naturalmente, there are also some distraction factors, which do not let me fight more often like, per esempio, 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. Tuttavia, 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.

 

 

 

“Naturalmente, 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. Così, 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. Tuttavia, it feels great to win via submission as well, especially when it is a beautiful one. Infatti, 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. Così, I prefer to finish the fights early.

M-1 CHALLENGE 92 RISULTATI & IMMAGINI

Sergei Kharitonov vs. Anton Vyazigin declared
“Nessun Contesto”
Aleksander Doskalchuk crowned undisputed

M-1 Challenge flyweight champion

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

 

SAN PIETROBURGO, Russia (Maggio 25, 2018) – Last night’s SuperFight between Russian heavyweight star Sergei Kharitonov and his main event challenger, Anton Vyazigin, was declared ano contest” e Alexander Doskalchuk established himself as the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion last night at M-1 sfida 92 a M-1 Arena a San Pietroburgo, 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 ano contestafter 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 sfida 95: Battaglia nelle montagne, which will happen in July in Ingushetia, Russia.

 

 

 

A ‘no contestwas 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 contestis 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 contestis 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. Naturalmente, Voglio una rivincita, our story has not ended.

BANTAMWEIGHT BOUT ADDED TO ALREADY-STACKED PORTLAND FIGHT CARD

Portland, Maine (Maggio 24, 2018) – Last week New England Fights (NEF) released the official card for its upcoming return to Aura in Portland, Maine. The mixed-martial-arts event, titolo “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” is scheduled to take place on Saturday night, Giugno 16, 2018 con una campana in tempo 7:00 pm EDT. NEF matchmakers, tuttavia, 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) dovrà affrontare Dave Brown (1-3) con un peso lotta di 135-libbre.

 

 

 

The lead-up toNEF 34has 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,” ha detto 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.

 

 

 

Originario di 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. Marrone, “‘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 downall the way centro!”

 

 

 

prossimo evento mixed-arti marziali di NEF, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” will take place at Aura in Portland, Maine on Saturday, Giugno 16, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online at www.AuraMaine.com.

Il 37-year-old Kharitonov ha sconfitto un Chi è Chi di alcuni dei migliori pesi massimi combattenti di MMA, Compreso Alister Overeem, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum e Pedro Rizzo.

 

 

 

Kharitonov ha avuto un paio di ultime parole prima che l'azione inizia ufficialmente:

 

Sergey, Hai avuto 33 professionale MMA durante la vostra carriera e ora siete 37 anni. Qual è la vostra motivazione in MMA? Perché continui combattimenti?

 

 

 

SK: “Fighting è diventato una parte essenziale della mia vita. Ho letteralmente non posso vivere senza di essa. Io amo le nuove sfide, e questo è il motivo per cui competere a diversi eventi e ora, per esempio, Ho una nuova sfida: due lotte in una settimana. Domani ho una lotta MMA a M-1 sfida 92 e in una settimana, Ho un incontro di kickboxing in programma.

 

 

 

“Questa è la vita e dobbiamo prendere dei rischi, perché nessun rischio, nessuna ricompensa. Così, Sono pronto per questa. MMA è la mia passione, ma io amo kickboxing, troppo, e ora sono interessati a competere in entrambi gli sport.”

 

Si dice che per pesi massimi l'età di 35 è il primo, perché questo è il momento in cui i pesi massimi sono di solito abbastanza esperti, ma ancora in forma. Cosa ne pensi?

 

 

 

SK: “Tutto dipende. Un combattente può raggiungere la sua privilegiata 25, un altro a 35, ma, secondo me, dipende dalla sua coscienza. Date un'occhiata a alcuni pugili come George Foreman, che ha combattuto fino all'età di 48. Anche nelle divisioni più leggeri ci sono molti esempi di vecchi combattenti di successo come Bernard Hopkins e anche Floyd Mayweather Jr., che non che il giovane è oggi. Se si mantiene duro allenamento, si può lottare per un lungo periodo di tempo.”

 

Solo due volte nella tua carriera hai vinto con decisione. Come accade che hai finito quasi tutti i tuoi avversari?

 

 

 

SK: “Ho sempre guardare il mio avversario; se lui mi dà l'opportunità di finirlo, lo faccio. Non mi importa come mi vincere battaglie e non ho alcun obiettivo di finire i miei avversari. L'unica cosa che conta davvero è la vittoria.”

 

Anton Vyazigin ha il potere nelle sue mani. Avete un piano per la lotta imminente o avete bisogno di uno?

 

 

 

SK: “Il mio stile di combattimento dipende dalla situazione, ma credo che domani ci accingiamo ad avere una lotta stand-up. In questa fase della mia carriera, Io in realtà non cambio il mio campo di addestramento per i nuovi avversari. Ho praticamente esperienza, così posso basta inserire La Rabbia e fare quello che devo fare. Tuttavia, Io di solito guardo i miei avversari’ combattimenti. Ho visto due scontri di Vyazigin e posso dire che lui è un grande atleta giovane con pugni pesanti. Sono molto emozionato perché mi rende felice che i giovani ragazzi come lui sono pronto a sostituire noi. Chissà quanto tempo ci rimane, un anno, due, tre, forse anche cinque? Questi ragazzi hanno una lunga carriera davanti e devono continuare a crescere e mostrare il loro meglio!”
