SANKTI PÉTURSBORG, Rússland (Ágúst 1, 2018) -The vacant M-1 Challenge light heavyweight title will be on the line August 25, þegar Dimitriy Mikutsa og Khadis Ibragimov throw-down in the M-1 Challenge 96 helstu atburði, in M-1 Arena, at Saint Petersburg, Rússland.
Mikutsa (9-3-1, M-1: 2-1-0), one of the top fighters in Ukraine, is riding a four-fight win streak, including M-1 Global victories over Kleber Raimundo Silva last February at M-1 Challenge 87 og Dmitry Tebekin á M-1 Challenge 79, both by way of three-round unanimous decisions. A heavy-handed striker, Mikutsa has knocked out six of his nine victims to date.
One of the most promising prospects in years, undefeated Ibragimov (6-0-0, M-1: 2-0-0) has earned his title shot, primarily by defeating former M-1 Challenge light heavyweight champion Stephan Puetz, using a bulldog choke to submit his German foe in the third round last February at M-1 Challenge 88. Ibragimov, who will be fighting at home in Saint Petersburg, won his last fight at M-1 Challenge 92, þegar Giga Kukhalalashvili was disqualified in the third round for rope grabbing.
A potentially explosive co-featured event has also been announced as American featherweight Daniel “Agent Orange” Swain (18-8-1, M-1: 1-0-1) tekur á Viktor Kolesnik (14-3-1, M-1: 3-1-1), Rússland.
Fighting out of Newport, Washington, the entertaining Swain is coming off a sensational victory this past May at M-1 Challenge 91, when he used a kneebar to submit Musu Nuertiebieke í opnun umferð.
Kolesnik’s lone loss in his last 10 berst, dating back nearly four years, was by split decision at M-1 Challenge 85 að Nate Landwehr, who is now the newly crowned M-1 Challenge featherweight champion.
Önnur berst mun brátt verða tilkynnt. Öll berst og bardagamenn eru háð breytingum.
