Urs Pablo, you’ve got a double name, how do your friends call you?

 

 

 

UPO: “My friends call me just Urs and Pablo is my fight name. Earlier there was a difference between the real me and my fighting alter ego; stepping into the cage I used to go wild. Today it’s different, now I do my best to stay calm when I fight. My goal now is to stay effective and demonstrate techniques in the clearest way possible.

 

How did you start your MMA career and what do you like the most about fighting?

 

 

 

UPO: “De fapt, I started my martial arts career only when I turned 21. Before that I played basketball. La 21, Gabriel Sabo helped me join the fighting world. Inițial, I was not going to compete, but my trainer, Zyber Ruday, had seen my potential and helped me grow. I love both striking and grappling. In my career I have more submission victories, only because of the fact that I felt I was better on the ground than my opponents.

 

What can you tell us about MMA in Switzerland? Who is the most noticeable fighter?

 

 

 

UPO: “Yasubey Enomoto is a role model in MMA for me and a good friend of mine. MMA has been developing in Switzerland rapidly lately, but still it’s popularity can’t be compared to what we see in Russia. Anyway, there are MMA gyms in almost every city and they have many fighters with potential.

 

How did you get to M-1 Global and how do you like fighting in Russia?

 

 

 

UPO: “Before joining M-1 Global I’d already been to Russia once at Battle in the Mountains in Ingushetia, I loved it and it became my goal to fight in front of this amazing crowd against some top opponents.

 

 

 

I worked very hard and I won all my MMA, K-1 and Muay Thai fights, so First MMA Management got interested in me, and very soon after signing with them I got my first fight in M-1 Global. I find it excellent that MMA has so much respect in Russia and that it is supported at such a high level that you can even see the President at some events. I have a great experience with Russian fans, who are very respectful. After my fights I’ve seen that they understand this sport really well, so I love fighting in Russia.

 

Who would you like to fight the most in M-1 Global?

 

 

 

UPO: “I would love to fight Alexey Kunchenko. I’ve seen many fights of his and it would be a tough challenge for me. I’m happy that he signed with the UFC and I hope one day I can follow him.

 

What do you think about your upcoming fight against Sergey Kunchenko?

 

 

 

UPO: “Sergey Romanov is one of the most dangerous welterweights on the M-1 Global roster. In his last fight he made some mistakes and I would say just defeated himself. M-1 Global fans will love our fight and I’m sure that the winner should become the next title contender. I suppose the winner will face Maxim Grabovici in the fight for the vacant title.

 

 

 

 

“Știu că acest lucru va fi o luptă dură. A knockout victory would be awesome, but I’m open to any opportunity to finish this fight. Ca întotdeauna, I’ll start pushing my opponent from the opening bell.

I’m not used to watching my opponentsprevious fights much, but from the videos I have seen, I can say that he has good cardio and wrestling skills. I am ready to become the world champion, which was always a dream of mine and soon this dream can come true. I respect Frolov, but he has something what I need. I hope he is ready for a war because I’m going to take this belt from him. I am a fighter who is always looking for a knockout.

VINEREA ACEASTA
M-1 Challenge 97 în Kazan, Rusia

SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusia (Septembrie 26, 2018) — Undefeated Russian rising star Roman Bogatov ia pe, Brazilian mixed-martial-arts veteran Rubenilton Pereira (20-5-0, M-1: 4-2-0) this Friday in the M-1 Challenge 97 / Tatfight 7 main event, pentru the vacant M-1 Challenge 97 lightweight title, at Kazan, Rusia.

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.”

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.”
