SANKT PETERSBURG, Russland (Mai 31, 2018) – Das offizielle Gewicht in wurde heute für gehaltenmorgen M-1-Herausforderung 93 in Chelyabinsk, Russland.
Amerikanischer Kämpfer Joe “Diesel” Riggs erlebte eine lange, teure Reise von den USA. nach Tscheljabinsk, um den ungeschlagenen M-1 Challenge-Mittelgewichts-Champion Artiom Frolov im Co-Feature-Event herauszufordern.
“Auf dem Weg nach Russland,” Riggs erklärte seine Reise, “Wir nahmen einen Uber, um zum Flughafen zu gelangen. Wir hatten einen Unfall. Ich wollte noch einen Uber nehmen, aber die Bullen ließen mich nicht gehen, weil sie mich ins Krankenhaus schicken wollten, um mich untersuchen zu lassen. 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. Jetzt, 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.”
