St Petersburg, Russia (March 19, 2018) – American mixed-martial-arts star Nate “The Train” Landwehr will compete for his first M-1 Global title, when he takes on red-hot M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Khamzat Dalgiev, ee M-1 Challenge 91 main event at the new M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Fans may watch all the action on their computers, iyo sidoo kale Android iyo Apple telefoonada smart iyo kiniiniyada. M-1 Challenge 90 waa available onwww.FITE.TV(preliminary card is free, $7.99 for the main card).
The 29-year-old Landwehr (10-2-0, M-1: 2-0-0), who fights out of Clarksville, Tennessee, made his M-1 Global debut last September at M-1 Challenge 83, markii uu joojiyay Mikhail Korobkov on punches in the second round. Landwehr’s last fight was this past November at M-1 Challenge 85, at which he won a split decision over Viktor Kolesnik.
Since his first fight in Russia, Landwehr has developed into one of M-1 Global’s most popular fighters, largely due to his fan-friendly fighting style, as well as his showmanship. He made his own promo video, talks trash at press conferences, and broke out into an “ass whooping” song after his fight.
“The Train” never takes a step backwards, trading punches with his opponent from the opening bell, which often results in spectacular fights for MMA fans.
Landwehr (kor ku xusan) is an all-around fighter who can ground or pound
Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0), of Russia, ayaa ku guuleystay 10 fights in a row since he lost his pro debut in 2014. Last November at M-1 Challenge 86, Dalgiev turned in a shocking performance, knocking out longtime M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Ivan Buchinger in the opening round with a thunderous punch that made him an instant star.
Able to defeat his opponent in a variety of ways, Dalgiev has won five fights by submission with three knockouts, including five opening-round stoppages. If rising to the occasion is his forte, Dalgiev should be sky high to fight Landwehr in one of the most anticipated M-1 Global showdowns in years.

Dalgiev (kor ku xusan) put Buchinger to sleep in the first round to capture the coveted M-1 Challenge featherweight title (hoos ku)
