سینٹ پیٹرز برگ, روس (ستمبر 4, 2018) — Undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem کے Frolov نے will make his UFC debut, stepping in on short notice to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against battle-tested C.B. “The Doberman” Dollaway, ستمبر 15 پر UFC Moscow card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.
“I am very happy for Artem,” M-1 عالمی صدر Vadim Finkelchtein کہا, “but a little bit nervous because he accepted the fight on such a short notice, only two weeks before the fitht. I’m sure he will demonstrate his high level once again. I said it before that Artem is the second strongest middleweight in Russia, after Alexander Shlemenko, and he deserves this shot. Some may know that Artem was going to fight Bruno Blindado Silva, who defeated Shlemenko, and I’m happy to say that this fight will happen this fall.”
The 26-year-old Frolov (11-0-0, M-1: 8-0-0), fighting at home out of Russia, captured his M-1 Challenge title belt last October, when he won a unanimous decision against Caio Magalhaes at M-1 Challenge 84. This past June at M-1 Challenge 93, Frolov made his first title defense versus Joe Riggs, who suffered a knee injury that led to a doctor’s stoppage in the second round.
A solid all-around fighter, Frolov has won 5 fights by stoppage, along with four submission victories and two by decision.
