Ortmann, een Muay Thai-specialist, stapte onlangs in The Rage om zijn opkomende mixed-martial-arts-carrière te bespreken, inclusief zijn gevecht tegen Romanov:

 

Urs Pablo, je hebt een dubbele naam, hoe noemen je vrienden je??

 

 

 

ZITTEN: “Mijn vrienden noemen me alleen Urs en Pablo is mijn vechtnaam. Eerder was er een verschil tussen de echte ik en mijn vechtende alter ego; toen ik in de kooi stapte, werd ik wild. Tegenwoordig is het anders, now I do my best to stay calm when I fight. My goal now is to stay effective and demonstrate techniques in the clearest way possible.

 

How did you start your MMA career and what do you like the most about fighting?

 

 

 

ZITTEN: “Eigenlijk, I started my martial arts career only when I turned 21. Before that I played basketball. Bij 21, Gabriel Sabo helped me join the fighting world. Eerste, I was not going to compete, but my trainer, Zyber Ruday, had seen my potential and helped me grow. I love both striking and grappling. In my career I have more submission victories, only because of the fact that I felt I was better on the ground than my opponents.

 

What can you tell us about MMA in Switzerland? Who is the most noticeable fighter?

 

 

 

ZITTEN: “Yasubey Enomoto is a role model in MMA for me and a good friend of mine. MMA ontwikkelt zich de laatste tijd snel in Zwitserland, maar toch is de populariteit niet te vergelijken met wat we in Rusland zien. In ieder geval, er zijn MMA-sportscholen in bijna elke stad en ze hebben veel vechters met potentieel.”

 

Hoe ben je bij M-1 Global gekomen en hoe vind je het om in Rusland te vechten?

 

 

 

ZITTEN: “Voordat ik bij M-1 Global kwam, was ik al een keer in Rusland geweest tijdens Battle in the Mountains in Ingoesjetië, Ik vond het geweldig en het werd mijn doel om voor dit geweldige publiek te vechten tegen een aantal top tegenstanders.

 

 

 

“Ik heb heel hard gewerkt en ik heb al mijn MMA gewonnen, K-1 en Muay Thai-gevechten, dus First MMA Management raakte in mij geïnteresseerd, en heel snel nadat ik bij hen had getekend, kreeg ik mijn eerste gevecht in M-1 Global. I find it excellent that MMA has so much respect in Russia and that it is supported at such a high level that you can even see the President at some events. I have a great experience with Russian fans, who are very respectful. After my fights I’ve seen that they understand this sport really well, so I love fighting in Russia.

 

Who would you like to fight the most in M-1 Global?

 

 

 

ZITTEN: “I would love to fight Alexey Kunchenko. I’ve seen many fights of his and it would be a tough challenge for me. I’m happy that he signed with the UFC and I hope one day I can follow him.

 

What do you think about your upcoming fight against Sergey Kunchenko?

 

 

 

ZITTEN: “Sergey Romanov is one of the most dangerous welterweights on the M-1 Global roster. In zijn laatste gevecht maakte hij een aantal fouten en ik zou zeggen dat hij zichzelf versloeg. Fans van M-1 Global zullen genieten van ons gevecht en ik weet zeker dat de winnaar de volgende titelkandidaat moet worden. Ik veronderstel dat de winnaar zal worden geconfronteerd Maxim Grabovich in de strijd om de vacante titel.

 

 

 

 

“Ik weet dat dit gaat om een ​​zware strijd worden. Een knock-out overwinning zou geweldig zijn, maar ik sta open voor elke gelegenheid om dit gevecht te beëindigen. Zoals altijd, Ik ga mijn tegenstander duwen vanaf de openingsbel.”

Daniel Swain vs. Viktor Kolesnik in co-feature
Augustus 25 in Sint-Petersburg, Rusland

 

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. Ibragimov, who will be fighting at home in Saint Petersburg, won his last fight at M-1 Challenge 92, wanneer Giga Kukhalalashvili was disqualified in the third round for rope grabbing.

 

 

 

 

A potentially explosive co-featured event has also been announced as American featherweight Daniel “Agent OrangeSwain (18-8-1, M-1: 1-0-1) neemt Viktor Kolesnik (14-3-1, M-1: 3-1-1), van Rusland.

 

 

 

Fighting out of Newport, Washington, the entertaining Swain is coming off a sensational victory this past May at M-1 Challenge 91, when he used a kneebar to submit Musu Nuertiebieke in de openingsronde.

 

 

 

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.
