At this moment, I have no thoughts or assumptions about this fight because I’m focused on my upcoming Bellator fight.

You fought in China at M-1 Challenge 53. How do you like the local audience there and what are your overall impressions of the tournament?
SK: “Everything was fine. I liked the level of organization, cefnogwyr’ attitude toward the athletes, and the response from the public. I think M-1 has good experience in terms of holding tournaments in China, so this time they can make it an even bigger show.
Do you accept offers to fight from other Russian organizations and why did you decided to fight in M-1?
SK: “Ydw, I received a lot of offers, especially recently. I won’t say specifically but they were from major Russian MMA organizations. But I have a long relationship with M-1 and me and Vadim know each other well. We get along well and trust each other. Felly, O prefer to fight in M-1 Global.

Shlemenko (54-9-0. 1 CC, M-1: 4-0-0), a three-time Bellator champion, trechu cyn-bencampwr M 1-Sialens Vyacheslav Vasilevsky (see picture above with Shlemenko on right) last year in the M-1 Grand Prix Middleweight Championship semifinals and championship final, yn y drefn honno, by three-round majority decision and third-round submission (tagu). Shlemenko vs. Vasilevsky I & II were the M-1 Challenge 68 & 64 Fights of the Night.
In a much-anticipated All-Russian middleweight showdown, Shlemenko was supposed to fight reigning M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Ramadan Emeev, who was unfortunately injured during training camp, forcing him out of that match. Vasilevsky replaced Emeev against Shlemenko in the championship final.
Yn ei weithred olaf, Shlemenko stopped Kendall Grove in the second round of their main event fight on Bellator 162 last October in Memphis, Tennessee.
Alexander Shlemenko fighting in Russia is always a significant event,” Llywydd M-1 Byd-eang Vadim Finkelchtein Dywedodd, “as he is a true legend of Russian MMA. His fights always sellout arenas, no matter who his opponent. We all know that the story we started last year at M<-1 Grand Prix 2016 isn’t over, eto. The whole country is waiting for the fight between Russia’s two best middleweightsAlexander Shlemenko and Ramazan Emeev.
Ramazan was injured and Shlemenko had contractual obligations with Bellator. Felly, throughout the past month, we were waiting for Shlemenko to receive permission to fight in Russia. Nawr, we have arranged for him to fight on M-1 Her 75. We’ve done a great job to make this possible and now hope that, y tro hwn, we will be able to complete this exciting story.
