Shlemenko (54-9-0. 1 NC, M-1: 4-0-0), a three-time Bellator champion, gipildi ang kanhi M-1 Challenge champion Vyacheslav Vasilevsky (see picture above with Shlemenko on right) last year in the M-1 Grand Prix Middleweight Championship semifinals and championship final, sa tinagsa, by three-round majority decision and third-round submission (choke). 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.
Sa iyang katapusan nga aksyon, Shlemenko stopped Kendall nga Kakahoyan 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,” M-1 Global presidente Vadim Finkelchtein miingon, “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, bisan pa. 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. Busa, throughout the past month, we were waiting for Shlemenko to receive permission to fight in Russia. Karon, we have arranged for him to fight on M-1 Challenge 75. We’ve done a great job to make this possible and now hope that, niini nga panahon, we will be able to complete this exciting story.
Undefeated M-1 Challenge welterweight champion Alexey Kunchenko (15-0-0, M-1: 7-0-0), sa Rusya, will defend his title against an opponent to be announced, due to originally announced Kazakh challenger, walay pildeng Shaukat Rakhmonov (7-0-0, M-1: 4-0-0), withdrawing due to a knee injury.
Russian welterweight prospect Sergey “StreetfighterRomanov (10-1-0, M-1: 3-0-0) faces Russian veteran Magomed “Ang White Lobo” Sultanakhmedov (18-5-0, M-1: 10-1-0) sa ibabaw sa mga M-1 Challenge 75 card.
Caldwell (11-3-0, M-1: 0-0-0), fighting out of Georgia, is the US-based Island Fights champion. A powerful puncher who has nine knockouts in his 11 pro victories, Caldwell was supposed to compete in the 13th season of Ang Ultimate Fighter, but he withdrew due to personal reasons. He has had several fights in World Series of Fighting.
A Ukrainian fighting out of Moscow, Divnich captured the vacant M-1 Challenge lightweight title in 2014 sa M-1 Challenge 54, pagpahunong Dzhambulat Kurbanov in the third round on punches in the Fight of the Night. Sa 2015, Divnich lost his first title defense by third-round knockout to Mansour Barnaoui sa M-1 Challenge 57. Sa iyang katapusang away, Artiom Damkovsky knocked out Divnich with a kick in the second-round of their fight this past September at M-1 Challenge 70.

M-1 Challenge 75, Marso 3 sa Moscow, Russia
ST.

Sergey Romanov preparing to ruin Magomed Sultanakhmedov’s comeback party

M-1 Challenge 75, Marso 3 sa Moscow, Russia
ST. Petersburg, Russia (Enero 5, 2017) – Hot welterweight prospect Sergey “StreetfighterRomanov is training hard to ruin the comeback of Russian veteran Magomed “Ang White Lobo” Sultanakhmedov in an interesting match-up Marso 3 sa M-1 Challenge 75 sa Russia.

Ang M-1 Challenge 75 main event, featuring a battle of undefeated welterweights between defending champion Alexey Kunchenko (15-0-0, M-1: 7-0-0), sa Rusya, takes on Kazakhstan challenger Shaukat Rakhmonov (7-0-0, M-1: 4-0-0),was previously announced.

Fans mahimong motan-aw sa tanan nga mga aksyon sa ilang mga computer, ingon man sa Android ug Apple Smart phones ug mga papan.
Due to a series of injuries, Sulktanakhmedov (18-5-0, M-1: 10-1-0) has been inactive for the past five years, since he knocked out Tyson Jeffries in the second round of their 2011 sa pagpakig-away didto sa M-1 Challenge 24.
A former M-1 Selection champion, Sultanakhmedov is dropping down one weight class from middleweight to fight Romanov. During his MMA career, feared striker Sultanakhmedov has knocked out the likes of Dmitri Samoilov, Victor Nemkov, Pavel Kusch ug Pliinio Cruz, taliwala sa mga labaw inilang.
His tremendous flair and style makes him a fan favorite, especially hisone-shoot, one-killattack. The 32-year-old has fought outside of his native Russia, in the United States and Japan, and during his fighting hiatus he served as referee.
Although he isn’t looking past Sultanakhmedov, fellow Russian fighter Romanov hopes that an impressive victory over Sultankhmedov will position him for his first M-1 Challenge title shot against the Kunchenkp-Rakhmonov winner.
Romanov has had impressive victories in M-1 Challenge competition, including a decision over against Brazilian foe Carlos Pereira niadtong Oktubre sa M-1 Challenge 71, as well as a first-round stoppage via punches of Andreas Birgels this past June at M-1 Challenge 68.
I’ve been working on my strength,” Romanov said from his training camp, “because the champion in my weight class, Alexey Kunchenko, is physically strong. I need to catch up. Not that I’m looking forward to a title fight, but I always have grandiose plans, sa ingon, we’ll see how that goes. Karon, I’m focused on Sultanakhmedov, and I think my fight with him would be no harder than a possible fight with Kunchenko.
I started training camp with two workouts a day, but I felt sick and decided to cutback to only one workout a day until I soon return to full mode. I’ve been training at home (St. Petersburg) but will soon go to Ryazan to wrestling training camp. Unya, I will go back to St. Petersburg to prepare at camp, and go to Borovaya for boxing. My opponent is left-handed, so I need appropriate sparring partners, but the guys in my camp are a great help.
I know my opponent well having watched his fights as a youngster when he was champion. Karon, we need to reevaluate him. He was a good fighter who trains at ‘Goretswhere there is, in principle, guys there who are top level. It’s difficult to say what form he has now because he hasn’t fought in so long. Karon, he is at the peak age for a fighter, 32, so we’ll see. I don’t think I’ll be favored in this fight, but I will go forward despite being the underdog.
Romanov (R) is a solid all-around MMA fighter
