ST. PETERSBURG, Rusland (Mei 13, 2015) – Braziliaanse indringer Igor “Chatubinha” Fernandes zal de Russische vijand bevechten Murad “Jager” Abdulaev op juni 6 for the vacant M-1 Challenge welterweight title, headlining M-1 Challenge 58: Strijd in de bergen 4, in 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.
During the past few years, Fernandes has been too dangerous for many fighters to take on, leaving him inactive for the past 26 maanden. The gifted welterweight immediately deserved and received a title shot upon signing with M-1 Global.
Abdulaev has won 11 van zijn laatste 12 gevechten. A dangerous striker with a solid ground game, Abdulaev is coming off an impressive knockout win over Daniel Taber last October at M-1 Challenge 52.
The M-1 Challenge welterweight championship was vacated by Rashid Magomedov who left the promotion.
A pair of potentially explosive featherweight fights have also been announced for M-1 Challenge 58 as American Luwte “American Bulldog” Morrison gezichten Pavel Vitruk, en Antun Racic voldoet aan Rele Nizami.
Morrison (13-5-0, 4 KO / TKO, 4 SUB, fighting out of Okanogon Washington, is out to snap his two-fight losing streak to Ragimov (SUB1 – arm-lock) bij M-1 Challenge 49 last June and a five-round decision to defending champion Marat Gufurov for the M-1 Challenge title at M-1 Challenge 47. The physically strong, experienced American fighter is planning a rebound June 6.
Last February at M-1 Challenge 55, Vitruk (12-1-0, 3 KO / TKO, 2 SUB) lost at M-1 Challenge 55 in a battle of unbeaten fighters to Max Coga by way of a third-round submission (choke). The Ukraine native who lives in St. Petersburg, Russia is a Muay Thai specialist.
Racic (17-5-0, 13 SUB) is a young, Croatian prospect who has won his last four fights in a row. He prefers to use his vast arsenal of submission moves. In zijn laatste gevecht, Racic defeated Lemmi Krusic (16-4-0), of Slovenia, afgelopen oktober.
Ragimov (9-2-0, 4 KO / TKO, 4 SUB) earned a title shot after he defeated Morrison, in which he lost to M-1 Challenge featherweight champion John “Dit is de” Buchinger last October at M-1 Challenge 52. In de strijd van de nacht, Ragimov was stopped by punches in the fourth round, after suffering a fractured and displaced finger on his left hand, as well as torn ligaments in his right hand.
