Mikutsa (9-3-1, M-1 ba-: 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 ba-Bothata ba 87 le Dmitry Tebekin ka M-1 ba-Bothata ba 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 ba-: 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 ba-Bothata ba 88. Ibragimov, who will be fighting at home in Saint Petersburg, won his last fight at M-1 Challenge 92, neng Giga Kukhalalashvili was disqualified in the third round for rope grabbing.
A potentially explosive co-featured event has also been announced as American featherweight Daniele “Agent Orange” Swain (18-8-1, M-1 ba-: 1-0-1) nka ka Viktor Kolesnik (14-3-1, M-1 ba-: 3-1-1), ea Russia.
Fighting out of Newport, Washington, the entertaining Swain is coming off a sensational victory this past May at M-1 ba-Bothata ba 91, when he used a kneebar to submit Musu Nuertiebieke a qalang ho pota-pota.
Kolesnik’s lone loss in his last 10 lintoa, dating back nearly four years, was by split decision at M-1 ba-Bothata ba 85 ho Nate Landwehr, who is now the newly crowned M-1 Challenge featherweight champion.
