This will mark the first M-1 Global show in Kazakhstan in three years, 因为 M-1的挑战 59: Battle of the Nomads 5 阿斯塔纳, in which Russian star 谢尔盖Kharitonov 淘汰美国人 肯尼·加纳 在第一轮.

The 30-year-old Landwehr (11-2-0, M-1的: 3-0-0), fighting out of the Nashville suburb of Clarksville, 田纳西, captured the coveted M-1 Challenge featherweight title belt this past June at M-1的挑战 95 in Nazran, 印古什, 俄罗斯. The entertaining American fighter stopped defending champion Khamzat Dalgiev 在第二轮拳. Dalgiev was making his first title defense, after he shocked the MMA world by knocking out longtime M-1 champion 伊万Buchinger 在首轮.

“火车” keeps rollin’

In two other M-1 fights that set-up his title shot, Landwehr won a split decision over 维克托·Kolesnik 在 M-1的挑战 85, preceded by a third-round stoppage of 米哈伊尔·Korobkov通过拳在 M-1的挑战 83.

“没有错,” 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 英镑. 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. 但, 目前, 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 (M-1的) 战斗.

Fighting out of Ukraine, Lezhnev (18-7-0, M-1的; 6-3-0) earned this title shot by winning nine of his last 10 打架, including the last three in a row. His victims include another U.S., 背风处 “美国斗牛犬” 莫里森, who lost a unanimous decision to Lezhnev at M-1的挑战 69 在 2016.

“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.”

所有战斗和战士都受到变革. 额外 M-1 Challenge Battle in Atyraufights will soon be announced.
