M-1 Challenge 93 Gewichten & Afbeeldingen

Juni 1, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

SINT PETERSBURG, Rusland (Mei 31, 2018) – The official weight in was held today formorgen M-1 Challenge 93 at Chelyabinsk, Rusland.

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. Nu, 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 UIT, MURPHY TEGEN ARNOLD IN NEF TITLE FIGHT

Mei 31, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Portland, Maine (Mei 31, 2018) - Eerder deze week, New England Fights (NEF) ambtenaren werden geïnformeerd dat Mike Crespo tijdens zijn gevechtskamp gewond was geraakt en niet zou kunnen deelnemen aan “NEF 34: Huis van de dapperen” op Juni 16 in Portland. Crespo was oorspronkelijk gepland om het hoofd te bieden Kwam Arnold (3-0) voor het vacante NEF MMA Amateur bantamgewicht kampioenschap. Killian Murphy (1-0) is opgetreden om Crespo te vervangen en Arnold op Aura te verslaan voor de titel van 135 pond in een geplande affaire van vijf ronden.

Murphy maakte zijn debuut op “NEF 33” vorige maand in Portland met een indrukwekkende overwinning op Krishna Scott (0-1) via de eerste ronde technische knock-out. Hij is geen onbekende in de cirkel van de winnaar. Murphy is een voormalig kampioen worstelen in de staat Maine, een klasse A-titel hebben veroverd voor Marshwood High School in Elliott in 2015. Vandaag, hij traint bij Nostos MMA in Somersworth, New Hampshire onder begeleiding van een ondertekenaar van UFC, en voormalig NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, Devin Powell (8-3). Murphy was oorspronkelijk gepland om te strijden tegen Gabriel Diaz van Florida op “NEF 34,” maar Diaz trok zich eerder deze maand terug uit die strijd.

"Het is een opwindende wending om uiteindelijk te vechten voor de 135-pond-riem,” zei Murphy. “Het doel toen ik aan deze reis begon, was om die riem te winnen – en ik ben dankbaar voor deze kans. Ik wil NEF bedanken, mijn coaches, mijn teamgenoten en supporters. 16 juni, Ik neem die riem mee naar huis, naar Nostos. "

Misschien heeft geen ander lid van de NEF-selectie de afgelopen twaalf maanden de run gehad die Kam Arnold heeft gehad. Hij heeft drie tegenstanders in de eerste ronde als een heet mes door boter gesneden, waaronder een elf seconden durende knock-out van veteraan David Thompson vorige maand om “NEF 33.” Arnold is een lid van Central Maine Braziliaans Jiu-Jitsu van Lewiston, Maine.

"Ten eerste, Ik wil alleen maar 'dankjewel' zeggen tegen Killian voor het accepteren van dit gevecht, en ook aan Matt Peterson voor het vinden van een andere tegenstander voor mij,” zei Arnold toen hij om commentaar reikte. “Killian is een opkomende, opwindende vechter – en ik ben opgewonden om met hem te botsen. Ik weet dat hij klaar zal komen en hij zal proberen deze verdeeldheid door elkaar te schudden en een verklaring af te leggen. Ik ga hard blijven werken, Pas de strategie aan en ga van daaruit ballen tegen de muur. Dit wordt een geweldig gevecht – en ik word NEF's volgende kampioen van 135 pond. "

“Niets boeit me meer dan wanneer een atleet op korte termijn opstapt en de kans grijpt om glorie te grijpen – en dat is wat Killian Murphy heeft gedaan door ermee in te stemmen dit gevecht aan te gaan tegen een ongeslagen dier als Kam Arnold,” verklaarde NEF mede-eigenaar en koppelaarster Matt Peterson. “Kam zag er niet te stoppen uit sinds hij minder dan een jaar geleden debuteerde – en nu zien we hem zichzelf testen tegen een gedecoreerde worstelaar om kans te maken op NEF-goud. Alsof deze kaart nog geen zomervuurwerk was – nu zien we dat twee ongeslagen studs elkaar proberen af te slaan in de loop van een kampioensgevecht van vijf ronden. Het doet er niet beter dan dit!"

NEF's volgende mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 34: Huis van de dapperen,” vindt plaats in Aura in Portland, Maine op zaterdag, Juni 16, 2018. Tickets zijn nu online te koop op www.AuraMaine.com.

IN THE RAGE INTERVIEW CHRIS “De Griekse Assassin” KELADES

Mei 31, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Chris Kaledes (R) is shooting for his second straight M-1 victory deze vrijdag

CHELYABINSK, Rusland (Mei 30, 2018) – Greece-born flyweight Chris “The Greek Kelades” Keldes (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 Challenge 93 belangrijkste kaart, in Chelyabinsk, Rusland.

Kelades made his successful M-1 Global debut last November at M-1 Challenge 86, when he defeated Oleg Lichkovakha by way of a third-round submission (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, jammer genoeg, the event was canceled. Zo, 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: Elk gevecht is anders. 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. Het motiveert me!”

Russian star Alexander “Storm” Shlemenko (56-10-1, 1 NC, M-1: 6-0-0) krantenkoppen M-1 Challenge 93 against Brazilian power-puncher Bruno Silva (17-6-0, M-1: 0-0-0).

Ongeslagen M-1 Challenge middengewicht kampioen Artem Frolov (10-0-0, M-1: 7-0-0) defends his title for the first time against American favorite Joe “Diesel” Riggs (47-17-1, M-1: 2-0-1) in de M-1 Challenge 93 co-featured evenement.

IN THE RAGE INTEVIEW Artem Frolov

Mei 30, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

CHELYABINSK, Rusland (Mei 29, 2018) – Ongeslagen M-1 Challenge middengewicht kampioen 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) in de M-1 Challenge 93 co-featured evenement, in Chelyabinsk, Rusland.

Frolov has knocked out four of his opponents and submitted four others. Afgelopen oktober, Frolov captured the belt by defeating UFC veteran Caio Magalhaes, van Brazilië, 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. Natuurlijk, there are also some distraction factors, which do not let me fight more often like, bijvoorbeeld, 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. Echter, 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.

“Natuurlijk, 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. Zo, 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, geloof 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. Echter, it feels great to win via submission as well, especially when it is a beautiful one. As a matter of fact, 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. Zo, I prefer to finish the fights early.

M-1 UITDAGING 92 RESULTATEN & PICTURES

Mei 25, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Sergei Kharitonov vs. Anton Vyazigin declared

“Geen Wedstrijd”

Aleksander Doskalchuk crowned undisputed

M-1 Challenge flyweight champion

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

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

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: Strijd in de bergen, which will happen in July in Ingushetia, Rusland.

“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. Natuurlijk, Ik wil een rematch, our story has not ended.”

Doskalchuk (9-1-0), uitvechten van Oekraïne, entered The Rage as the M-1 Challenge flyweight champion to take on M-1 Challenge Interim flyweight titlist Arman Ashimov (8-3-1), Kazachstan. Ashimov was unable to continue after two rounds due to a hand injury.

Brazilian welterweight Tiago “Bahia” Varejao (27-5-1) speelde een indrukwekkende M-1 debuut, taking a majority decision from former M-1 Challenge title challenger Sergey 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), van Frankrijk.

Op de voorlopige kaart, Russische zwaargewicht 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 vedergewicht Azibek Satibaldiev (7-4-0) was disqualified in the second round for kicking a grounded fighter, German challenger Saba Bolaghi (9-1-1), Russische vedergewicht Mikhail Kuznetson (6-4-1) used a guillotine choke to submit fellow countryman Nikita Solonin (4-2-0) in de tweede ronde, and Ukrainian bantamweight Ludwig Sholinyan (2-0-1) enalexander Osetrov (4-0-1) fought to a three-round majority draw.

Georgisch weltergewicht Amiran Gogoladze (6-1-0) won a three-round split decision over Russian Taymuraz Guriev, terwijl 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 vertegenwoordigd 10 verschillende landen: Rusland, Oekraïne, Kazachstan, Brazilië, Georgia, Frankrijk, Angola, Duitsland, Cuba and Kyrgyzstan.

BANTAMWEIGHT BOUT ADDED TO ALREADY-STACKED PORTLAND FIGHT CARD

Mei 24, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Portland, Maine (Mei 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, getiteld “NEF 34: Huis van de dapperen,” is scheduled to take place on Saturday night, Juni 16, 2018 met een bel-tijd van 7:00 pm EDT. NEF matchmakers, echter, 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) zal worden geconfronteerd met Dave Brown (1-3) bij een gevecht gewicht van 135-pond.

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,” Said 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.”

Een inwoner van 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. Bruin, “‘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 het centrum!”

NEF's volgende mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 34: Huis van de dapperen,” vindt plaats in Aura in Portland, Maine op zaterdag, Juni 16, 2018. Tickets zijn nu online te koop op www.AuraMaine.com.

Mei 24 bij M-1 Arena in Sint-Petersburg, Rusland

Sergey Kharitonov

SINT PETERSBURG, Rusland (Mei 24, 2018) – MMA living legend Sergey Kharitonov (27-6-0, M-1: 5-0-0) outs his perfect M-1 record on the line today against fellow Russian heavyweight, “Cherepovets Giant” Anton Vyazigin (9-2-1, M-1: 4-1-0), in today’s (Mei 24) M-1 Challenge 92 main event SuperFight, bij M-1 Arena in Sint-Petersburg, Rusland.

M-1 Challenge 92 zal worden live gestreamd vanuit Rusland in High Definition op www.M1Global.TV. Kijkers kunnen de voorlopige gevechten en belangrijkste kaart bekijken door in te loggen op registreren op zal zijn www.M1Global.TV. Fans kunnen alle actie kijken op hun computers, alsmede op Android en Apple smartphones en tablets. M-1 Challenge 92 zal ook beschikbaar zijn op www.FITE.TV(voorlopige kaart is gratis, $7.99 voor de belangrijkste kaart)

The 37-year-old Kharitonov has defeated a Who’s Who of some of top heavyweight MMA fighters, inclusief Alister Overeem, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum en 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 jaar oud. 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, bijvoorbeeld, 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. Zo, I am ready for this. MMA is my passion, but I love kickboxing, ook, 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, maar, naar mijn mening, 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. In deze fase van mijn carrière, 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. Niettemin, I usually watch my opponents’ gevechten. 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, twee, drie, maybe even five? These guys have long careers ahead and they have to keep growing and showing their best!”
