M-1 Wereldwijde veteranen & ex-kampioenen Praten over M-1 & UFC Moskou
|
SINT PETERSBURG, Rusland (September 14, 2018) – M-1 Global-veteranen en voormalige kampioenen hebben onlangs hun gedachten en meningen geuit over hun M-1-ervaringen en die van morgen (Zeven. 15) UFC Moskou-kaart bij Olympisch Stadion in Moskou.
Alexei Oleinik, M-1 Wereldwijde veteraan, vs. Mark Hunt in het hoofdevenement van UFC Moskou:
“M-1 Global is een geweldige Russische promotie en ik heb echt genoten van de tijd dat ik daar vocht. Elk gevecht voor mij was een volgende stap in mijn carrière. We hebben geen tegenstanders gekozen, had gevechten beoordeeld, en nam deel aan de Grand Prix.”
Alexander Volkov, voormalige M-1 Challenge zwaargewicht kampioen:
“Een van de beste momenten die ik had in M-1 Global was de overwinning voor ons team bij M-1 Selection. In die tijd waren er teamcompetities in M-1 Global en dat formaat mis ik. Een ander geweldig moment was toen ik de M-1 Challenge zwaargewichttitel won. Elk belangrijk gevecht is zeer gedenkwaardig.”
“Mijn eerste M-1 Global-gevechten waren in M-1 Selection-teamcompetities, die me als jonge vechter heeft geholpen om mijn carrière te beginnen, vind mijn plaats in deze sport en begrijp dat ik tot MMA behoor. Destijds was het een geweldige kans voor jonge atleten om hun vaardigheden te demonstreren en op lokale tv-stations te verschijnen, dus M-1 Global was de eerste stap in mijn professionele carrière.”
“UFC heeft een enorme impact op de ontwikkeling van de Russische MMA-markt. De samenwerking tussen M-1 Global en UFC geeft M-1 Global veel voordelen op de lokale markt en maakt het veel aantrekkelijker voor Russische jagers. Alle mixed martial-artiesten hebben een droom om in de UFC te vechten en nu is de weg vrij. Zoals we vaak hebben gezien, topvechters en kampioenen van M-1 Global strijden op het hoogste niveau in de UFC.”
Ramadan Emeev, voormalig M-1 Challenge middengewicht kampioen, vs. Stefan Sekulic bij UFC Moskou
“Ik voel een zekere verantwoordelijkheid voor dit gevecht omdat ik thuis vecht. Veel vrienden en fans zullen voor me komen supporteren en ik wil ze niet teleurstellen. Ik wil een geweldige show neerzetten, win het gevecht, en maak iedereen die me steunt blij.
“Omdat ik thuis aan het vechten ben, Ik hoef niet ergens heen te vliegen en te acclimatiseren. In mijn vorige gevechten moest ik over de oceaan vliegen om te strijden. Nu, het is hun beurt, en alles zal volgens mijn regels zijn.”
Rustam Khabilov M-1 Wereldwijde veteraan, vs. Kajan Johnson bij UFC Moskou
“Er is een grote verantwoordelijkheid om thuis te vechten als de menigte op je wacht. Het maakt niet uit of het M-1 Global of UFC is. Menigten zijn hetzelfde. Veel vrienden en fans zullen zich zorgen maken, en ze zullen voor mij wortel schieten, dus ik heb deze overwinning aan hen te danken. ik moet winnen. Daarom heb ik drie keer zo hard getraind voor dit gevecht. Nu, Ik anticipeer op een tegenstander. Alles komt goed.”
Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, een van de beste MMA-coaches ter wereld en vader van UFC en voormalig M-1 Global-jager Kabib Nurmagomedov
“M-1 Global is de geschiedenis van de Russische MMA en het is geen toeval dat veel vechters die hun carrière begonnen in M-1 Global zeer succesvol zijn in de MMA-wereld. M-1 Global was een stichting voor mixed martial arts in Rusland, geconfronteerd met een aantal uitdagingen, leerden van hun fouten en bleven vooruit gaan. De meeste Russische jagers die nu getekend zijn bij de UFC kwamen precies van M-1 Global.”
Fighting in UFC dream come true for M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov
Zeven. 15 at UFC Moscow vs. C.B. Dollaway |
SINT PETERSBURG, Rusland (September 5, 2018) – Fighting in the UFC is a dream come true for undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov (11-0-0, M-1: 8-0-0), who will make his UFC debut September 15, fighting on the UFC Moskou card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.
Frolov recently agreed on short notice (2 weken) to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against veteran American fighter C.B. “The Doberman” Dollaway (17-8-0).
Fighting at home in Russia, the 26-year-old Frolov won his M-1 Challenge title belt last October, when he took a unanimous decision from Caio Magalhaes bij M-1 Challenge 84. This past June at M-1 Challenge 93, Frolov made his first and lone title defense to date against Joe Riggs, who suffered a knee injury that led to a doctor’s stoppage in the second round.
Gisteren, Frolov sat down for a one-on-one interview:
How long have you working on a deal to sign with UFC?
AF: “My manager has been working on signing me with the UFC for a while, but until the last few days, we had no solid agreement. A few days ago, they finally offered me a contract and asked to step in to replace an injured fighter at UFC Moscow.
“I thought it over and decided it was a great opportunity to join the UFC, which I did not want to miss. I would not say this contract was a surprise for me, people have been working on it, so I was ready.”
How does it feel to sign with UFC?
AF: “I’m excited to sign with the best promotion in the world, but I know that my debut fight won’t be easy, I’m stepping in on a short notice just two weeks before the show. I was going to defend my belt in M-1 Global in a couple months, so now I need to cut weight fast. The most difficult thing is not just to cut weight, but afterwards to recover well. In the UFC, IVs are banned and you have to be extremely careful with supplements you take to recover.”
What shape are you in for this fight considering only two-week’s notice?
AF: “I was preparing for a fight in M-1 Global, so I’m in good shape. We are going to work on my speed now but first, I have to cut weight. Once in my career I took a fight on a short notice, I had three weeks to prepare and I won that fight by TKO in the second round.”
What do you know about your opponent, C.B. Dollaway?
AF: “I’ve seen a couple of C.B. Dollaway’s UFC fights, but I have never considered him as my opponent, so did not pay too much attention to him. There are many good fighters in the UFC, so I can’t say that I know a lot about my opponent. We don’t have not enough time to concentrate on him, so we’ll concentrate on me.”
When do you feel you can challenge the top UFC fighters in your weight class?
AF: “I’m not going to demand huge fights with the top opponents in the UFC. I’ll take my time and be ready to fight any opponent they’ll give me. I need time to get used to new conditions, tune up my preparation, and put in order the whole system and then I will be ready for any challenges.
“Everything is in our hands; nothing is impossible. If someone wants something badly, sets a goal and works hard to achieve it, he or she will succeed. I’m just a regular guy who had a dream to fight in the UFC and I made it. Dream big, set goals and achieve them!”

SINT PETERSBURG, Rusland (Augustus 1, 2018) -The vacant M-1 Challenge light heavyweight title will be on the line August 25, wanneer Dimitriy Mikutsa en Khadis Ibragimov throw-down in the M-1 Challenge 96 main event, in M-1 Arena, at Saint Petersburg, Rusland.
Mikutsa (9-3-1, M-1: 2-1-0), one of the top fighters in Ukraine, is riding a four-fight win streak, including M-1 Global victories over Kleber Raimundo Silva afgelopen februari om M-1 Challenge 87 en Dmitry Tebekin bij M-1 Challenge 79, both by way of three-round unanimous decisions. A heavy-handed striker, Mikutsa has knocked out six of his nine victims to date.
One of the most promising prospects in years, undefeated Ibragimov (6-0-0, M-1: 2-0-0) has earned his title shot, primarily by defeating former M-1 Challenge light heavyweight champion Stephen Puetz, using a bulldog choke to submit his German foe in the third round last February at M-1 Challenge 88.

Kolesnik’s lone loss in his last 10 gevechten, dating back nearly four years, was by split decision at M-1 Challenge 85 naar Nate Landwehr, who is now the newly crowned M-1 Challenge featherweight champion.
Extra gevechten zullen binnenkort bekend gemaakt. Alle gevechten en vechters zijn aan verandering.
