This will mark the first M-1 Global show in Kazakhstan in three years, так як M-1 Challenge 59: Battle of the Nomads 5 в Астані, in which Russian star Сергій Харитонов knocked out American Кенні Гарнер в першому турі.
The 30-year-old Landwehr (11-2-0, М-1: 3-0-0), fighting out of the Nashville suburb of Clarksville, Теннессі, captured the coveted M-1 Challenge featherweight title belt this past June at M-1 Challenge 95 in Nazran, Ingushetia, Росія. The entertaining American fighter stopped defending champion Khamzat Dalgiev on punches in the second round. Dalgiev was making his first title defense, after he shocked the MMA world by knocking out longtime M-1 champion Іван Buchinger в першому раунді.
“The Train” keeps rollin’In two other M-1 fights that set-up his title shot, Landwehr won a split decision over Viktor Kolesnik на M-1 Challenge 85, preceded by a third-round stoppage of Mikhail Korobkovза допомогою ударів в M-1 Challenge 83.
“Не помиліться,” Lanwehr said, “I want to put an ass whooping on everyone in the division. Lezhnev is just the next in line. Don’t think of me as just the champion, think of me as the baddest S.O.B that can make 145 фунти. I will be coming at him as if I am still a hungry challenger trying to make a statement to become a champion.
“I would love to have a tournament with all the contenders. We’d all fight multiple times on one night against everyone and the last man standing is crowned King. Але, на даний момент, I will fight who M-1 feels is the next contender. If you have a problem with that, then it means you are not as impressive as a fighter as you think. Because I convinced them in two fights that I was the one for the job and I got the job done in my third (М-1) боротьба.
Fighting out of Ukraine, Лежнев (18-7-0, М-1; 6-3-0) earned this title shot by winning nine of his last 10 бої, including the last three in a row. His victims include another U.S., Укриття “Американський бульдог” Моррісон, who lost a unanimous decision to Lezhnev at M-1 Challenge 69 в 2016.
Andrey Lezhnev has earned his title shot against Lanwehr
“Landwehr is a typical brawler with nice cardio,” Lezhnev commented. “Everybody who plays by his rules loses. He is also very provocative, he loves creating the hype around him. For a long time, he tried to avoid this fight, challenging guys who passed their prime, because he understood he had no chances against me. But now the time has come to beat that hype out of him.”
Всі бої і бійці можуть бути змінені. Additional M-1 Challenge Battle in Atyraufights will soon be announced.
