Landwehr’s last fight was this past November at M-1 ba-Bothata ba 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 (ka holimo) is an all-around fighter who can ground or pound
Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1 ba-: 7-1-0), ea Russia, o hlōla 10 fights in a row since he lost his pro debut in 2014. Last November at M-1 ba-Bothata ba 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 (ka holimo) put Buchinger to sleep in the first round to capture the coveted M-1 Challenge featherweight title (mona ka tlase)

All fighters and fights are subject to change. Additional main and full preliminary card bouts will soon be announced.
