(56-10-1, М-1: 6-0-0), Русија 184.4 кг. (83.65 кг)
Портланд, Мејн (Мај 31, 2018) - Раније ове недеље, Нев Енгланд Фигхтс (НЕФ) званичници су обавештени да је Мике Цреспо повређен током свог борбеног кампа и да неће моћи да се такмичи у “НЕФ 34: Дом храбрих” о Јун 16 у Портланду. Цреспо је првобитно требао да се суочи Дошао је Арнолд (3-0) за упражњено НЕФ ММА аматерско првенство у петешкој категорији. Киллиан Мурпхи (1-0) је појачао замену Креспа и заузео Арнолда на Аури за титулу од 135 килограма у заказаној афери од пет рунди.
Мурпхи је дебитовао у “НЕФ 33” прошлог месеца у Портланду са импресивном победом над Кришном Скотом (0-1) преко првог кола техничког нокаута. Није му стран круг победника. Мурпхи је бивши шампион државе у рвању у држави Маине, заузевши титулу разреда А за средњу школу Марсхвоод у Еллиотт-у 2015. Данас, тренира са Ностос ММА у Сомерсвортху, Нев Хампсхире под вођством УФЦ потписника, и бивши НЕФ професионални шампион у лакој категорији, Девин Пауел (8-3). Мурпхи је првобитно требао да се такмичи против Габриела Диаза са Флориде у “НЕФ 34,” али Диаз се извукао из те борбе раније овог месеца.
„Узбудљив је ток догађаја да се на крају борите за појас од 135 килограма,” рекао је Мурпхи. “Када сам започео ово путовање, циљ је био освојити тај појас – и захвалан сам на овој прилици. Желим да се захвалим НЕФ-у, моји тренери, моји саиграчи и присталице. 16. јуна, Тај појас носим кући у Ностос. “
Можда ниједан други члан НЕФ-овог пописа није трчао у последњих дванаест месеци колико је имао Кам Арнолд. Прорезао је три противника у првој рунди попут врућег ножа кроз путер, укључујући једанаест секунди нокаута ветерана Давида Тхомпсона прошлог месеца у “НЕФ 33.” Арнолд је члан бразилског Јиу-Јитсу-а из Средњег Мејна из Левистона, Мејн.
"Пре свега, Само желим да кажем ‘хвала’ Киллиан-у што је прихватио ову борбу, а такође и Матт Петерсону јер ми је нашао другог противника,” рекао је Арнолд када је посегнут за коментаром. “Киллиан је надолазећа, узбудљиви борац – и узбуђена сам што се сукобљавам са њим. Знам да ће доћи спреман и тражиће да уздрма ову поделу и да изјаву. Наставићу да вредно радим, направите прилагођавање стратегији и идите одатле до зида. Ово ће бити сјајна борба – 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. Не може бити ништа боље од овога!"

CHELYABINSK, Русија (Мај 30, 2018) – Greece-born flyweight Крис “The Greek Kelades” Kelades (12-3-0, М-1: 1-0-0), fighting out of Dartmouth, Канада, takes on Ukrainian fighter Alexander Pletenko (13-4-0, М;1: 0-0-0) this Friday night on the М-1 Цхалленге 93 Главни картица, у Чељабинск, Русија.
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 (Кимура).
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, нажалост, the event was canceled. Тако, 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: Свака борба је другачији. 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. То ме мотивише!”

CHELYABINSK, Русија (Мај 29, 2018) – Undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Артем Фролов (10-0-0, М-1: 7-0-0) defends his title for the first time this Friday against American favorite Џо “Diesel” Riggs (47-17-1, М-1: 2-0-1) ин М-1 Цхалленге 93 co-featured event, у Чељабинск, Русија.
Frolov has knocked out four of his opponents and submitted four others. Прошлог октобра, Frolov captured the belt by defeating UFC veteran Caio Magalhaes, Бразил, by unanimous decision and he needed a break to heal his injuries.
Артем Фролов (Л) puts his perfect record and M-1 Challenge middleweight title belt on the line this Friday against Joe “Diesel” Riggs
У 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. Наравно, 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. Међутим, 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.
“Наравно, 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. Тако, 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. Међутим, 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. Тако, I prefer to finish the fights early.

Ове недеље на ФНУ Цомбат Спортс Схов, Том, Tony and Rich discuss a wide variety of topics. We start out with the ESPN/UFC broadcast rights deal for five years, 30 fight cards and $1.5 billion. We also discuss the infighting among boxing promoters lately with both Bob Arum and UK upstart Eddie Hearn scrambling to sign free agents while trying to fill slots for slated shows in the United States over the coming year. We go on to recap last week’s combat sports action, highlighting the Adonis Stevenson vs. Badou Jack majority draw and the Usman vs Maia 5-round snoozefest headlining last Saturday night’s UFC Fight Night card. We of course also preview this weekend’s boxing matches and the UFC and Bellator cards coming out of England. We even touch on the regulation of bareknuckle boxing and Bobby Gunn’s claim of no fatalities recorded in the sport. Коначно, we wrap up with a reminder of what this weekend is all about: saluting our servicemen and women. Listen to the whole show at the link below:

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

САНКТ-ПЕТЕРБУРГ, Русија (Мај 25, 2018) – Last night’s SuperFight between Russian heavyweight star Сергеј Харитонов and his main event challenger, Anton Vyazigin, was declared a “no contest” и Aleksander Doskalchuk established himself as the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion last night at М-1 Цхалленге 92 at M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, Русија.
Харитонов (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 Вадим Финкелхтејн, reviewed the fight video and made the decision to change the result. A rematch will be scheduled for one of the next events, likely М-1 Цхалленге 95: Битка у планинама, which will happen in July in Ingushetia, Русија.
“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.”
Сергеј Харитонов (Р) 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. Наравно, Желим реванш, our story has not ended.”
Doskalchuk (9-1-0), бори од Украјине, entered The Rage as the M-1 Challenge flyweight champion to take on M-1 Challenge Interim flyweight titlist Arman Ashimov (8-3-1), Казахстана. Ashimov was unable to continue after two rounds due to a hand injury.
Brazilian welterweight Tiago “Бахиа” Varejao (27-5-1) turned in an impressive M-1 debut, taking a majority decision from former M-1 Challenge title challenger Sergej 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), Француске.
На прелиминарном картице, Руски тешкој категорији 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 Алексеј “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), Руски перо Mikhail Kuznetson (6-4-1) used a guillotine choke to submit fellow countryman Nikita Solonin (4-2-0) у кругу два, and Ukrainian bantamweight Ludwig Sholinyan (2-0-1) иАлександар Осетров (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, док Руслан Схамилов (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.

Портланд, Мејн (Мај 24, 2018) – Last week New England Fights (НЕФ) released the official card for its upcoming return to Aura in Portland, Мејн. The mixed-martial-arts event, право “НЕФ 34: Дом храбрих,” is scheduled to take place on Saturday night, Јун 16, 2018 са звоном од 7:00 ам ЕСТ. NEF matchmakers, међутим, 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. Хенри Кларк (3-4) ће се суочити Даве Бровн (1-3) на тежини борбе од 135 килограма.
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,” рекао је Кларк. “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.”
Пореклом из Северне Андовер, Масачусетс, 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, Нев Хампсхире. He will return to NEF after a three-year absence following his loss to Norman Fox in the spring of 2015. Браон, “‘Downtown’ Даве Бровн” 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 центар града!”
Неф следећи мешовите борилачки догађај, “НЕФ 34: Дом храбрих,” will take place at Aura in Portland, Maine on Saturday, Јун 16, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online at ввв.АураМаине.цом.

Sergey Kharitonov

САНКТ-ПЕТЕРБУРГ, Русија (Мај 24, 2018) – MMA living legend Sergey Kharitonov (27-6-0, М-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, М-1: 4-1-0), in today’s (Мај 24) М-1 Цхалленге 92 main event SuperFight, at M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, Русија.

The 37-year-old Kharitonov has defeated a Who’s Who of some of top heavyweight MMA fighters, укључујући Alister Overeem, Андреј Арловскиј, Фабрицио Вердум и Педро Риззо.
Kharitonov had a few last words before the action officially begins:
Сергеј, you have had 33 professional MMA during your career and now you are 37 година стар. What is your motivation in MMA? Why do you keep fighting?
СК: “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. Тако, I am ready for this. MMA is my passion, but I love kickboxing, сувише, 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?
СК: “It all depends. One fighter can reach his prime at 25, another one at 35, али, по мом мишљењу, 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?
СК: “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?
СК: “My fighting style depends on the situation, but I think tomorrow we are going to have a stand-up fight. У овој фази моје каријере, 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. Ипак, I usually watch my opponents’ туче. 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, два, three, maybe even five? These guys have long careers ahead and they have to keep growing and showing their best!”
