M-1 Global also announced that former M-1 Challenge light heavyweight champion Stephan “T-800” PUETZ will also return to action against M-1 Global-debuting Andrey Seledtsov.
Nemkov (23-5-0, M-1: 14-4-0) captured the coveted M-1 Challenge light heavyweight title this past December, taking a hard-fought 5-round decision from defending champion PUETZ, who had won a 5-round split decision April, 2014 against Nemkov for the title. Nemkov (foto a gòch) is a two-time M-1 Challenge light heavyweight champion having defeated Vasily Babich(WSUB3 – bra-lock) for the vacant title that he then lost in his first title defense to Puetz.
A native of Kazakhstan who fights out of Russia, Nemkov will be making his initial title defense of his second championship belt against Yusopov.
Nemkov (L) and Puetz (R)
The 23-year-old Yusupov (6-2-0, M-1: 3-1-0), fighting out of Sochi, Larisi, has won four fights in a row to put himself into title contention. A former Russian, European and World Amateur MMA champion, unlike many of his fellow countrymen from the North Caucasus, Yusupov (pictured below) is a dangerous striker whose signature moves are powerful kicks. He is also a top-notch wrestler, evident by his M-1 Challenge victories against Charles Andrade ak Martin Zawada.
PUETZ (13-2-0, M-1: 4-1-0), fighting out of Munich, Almay, successfully defended his M-1 Challenge title twice, after beating Nemkov in their original championship match, kont Luis Fernando Miranda (SUB2 – toufe) Out 15, 2014 nan M-1 defi 50, ak Valery Myasnikov (KO/TKO2 – pwenson) Desanm 17, 2014 nan M-1 defi 54. In a non-title fight this past May, Puetz stopped then M-1 Challenge heavyweight champion Marsing Tybura in the third round due to severely damaged broken nose.
The 28-year-old Seledtsov (5-1-0, M-1: 0-0-0) is a former Spetsnev solider who has a solid boxing, combat samba and MMA background. The powerful Russian is the local White-Rex promotion champion.
