ST. PETERSBURG, Rusland (Mei 13, 2015) – Brazilian invader Igor “Chatubinha” Fernandes will battle Russian foe Murad “Hunter” Abdulaev Junie 6 for the vacant M-1 Challenge welterweight title, headlining M-1 Challenge 58: Stryd in die berge 4, op Ingoesjetië, Rusland.

Fernandes (18-6-0, 2 KO / TKO, 13 SUB), who has won his last six fights, will be making his M-1 debut against Abdulaev (14-3-1, 5 KO / TKO, 1 SUB), who is unbeaten in two M-1 Challenge fights.
