A strong Ukrainian with superior wrestling skills, Butenko (42-11-2, ಎಂ 1: 9-1-0) is an eight-year MMA veteran who has found a welcomed home in M-1 Challenge competition and he has taken advantage of the opportunity. Riding a six-fight win streak, the 29-year-old Butenko captured the vacant M-1 Challenge lightweight title belt last June at M-1 Challenge 67, when he took a five-round unanimous decision over Artiom Damkovsky.

ಕೊನೆಯ ಕ್ರಿಯೆಯನ್ನು, ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ 71 ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ನಲ್ಲಿ, Butenko won a unanimous three-round decision against Rubenilton Pereira in a non-title fight.

Butenko’s first title defense will be against one of the most popular MMA fighters in Russia, the fighting powerhouse Yandiev, who also is a strong wrestler, plus a solid Judo background. The rising lightweight star will be a certain fan favor because of his nationality as well as his style of fighting, resulting in first-round endings in all his pro fights to date.

Last June at ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ 68, Yandiev used an armlock for a first-round submission of Tony Christodoulou, fought at a 177 ½ ಪೌಂಡ್. catchweight.

Like Butenko, Branchuk (21-6-0, ಎಂ 1: 1-2-0) also fights out of Ukraine. The 25-year-old fighter is a former M-1 Challenge bantamweight title challenger, who was riding an eight-fight into his last fight, in which he lost by fourth-round submission (ಚಾಕ್) to the aforementioned Vitruk (see accompanying picture to left). In M-1 Challenge competition, Branchuk defeated ಅಂಟುನ್ Racicone year ago, by way of a three-round split decision at ಎಂ 1 ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ 64.

Benkaci (13-7-0, (ಎಂ 1: 2-1-0) is a grappling specialist from France. Known and highly respected for his great conditioning and endurance, he lost a disputed three-round decision in his M-1 Challenge debut to ನಿಕಿತಾ Chistyakov 1-½ years ago, but the talented Frenchman bounced back to knockout his last two opponents, Vadim Malygin ಮತ್ತುAlexey Naumov, ಕ್ರಮವಾಗಿ, by knee and punch.
