M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Nate “The Train” Landwehr Moves on to UFC

Click here to hear an exclusive M-1Global interview with Nate Landwehr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzPoZIldZKQ

The entertaining American MMA fighter made his M-1 Global debut September 23, 2017 katikaM-1 Challenge 83, in which he knocked outMikhail Korobkov in the second round. The 31-year-old Landwehr, fighting out of Clarksville, Tennessee, then won a bloody three-round split decision againstViktor Kolesnik to set-up a title challenge for Landwehr.

Landwehr took advantage of his first title shot, knocking out defending championKhamzat Dalgievin the second round of theirM-1 Challenge 95 main event. Landwehr successfully defended his crown twice, kuachaAndrey Lezhnev katika raundi ya tatu katikaM-1 Challenge Battle in Atyrau last December, followed by a five-round unanimous decision victory over Kolesnik in their rematch this past June 28 katikaM-1 Challenge 102.

Last summer, the Russian-Chinese investment fund, Mubadala Investment Company, and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), jointly announced the foundation of UFC Russia. The new company promotes MMA and organizes new shows in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

M-1 Global is a valued partner, responsible for scouting and signing Russian athletes to prepare them to fight in the UFC. M-1 Challenge champions such as Landwehr, who will be rising a seven-fight win streak into his UFC debut, have a unique opportunity to sign contracts with the UFC.

Like so many M-1 Global fighters, Landwehr used M-1 Challenge as a stepping-stone to the UFC. Prior to the aforementioned agreement, five former M-1 Challenge champions signed with the UFCMarcin TyburaAlexander VolkovRamadhani EmeevRashid MagomedovnaYana Kunitskaya.   Landwehr became the sixth M-1 Global champion to graduate to the UFC since the 13-month deal was signed, joiningAlexey KunchenkoDamir Ismagulov,Movsar EvloevKhadis IbragimovnaBruno Silva.

Landwehr’s departure from M-1 Global and his title abdication has opened up the doors for other M-1 featherweights, especially four fighting this Friday atM-1 Challenge 104:Busarmankul Abdibait Uulu vs. Lezhnev andAnthony Dizy vs.Zalimeg Omarov.  The winners will position themselves for a possible title shot before the end of 2019.

Dimitriy Mikutsa vs. Khadis Ibragimov M-1 Challenge light heavyweight title fight to headline M-1 Challenge 96

Agosti 25 in Saint Petersburg, Russia

 

SAINT PETERSBURG, Russia (Agosti 1, 2018) -The vacant M-1 Challenge light heavyweight title will be on the line August 25, wakati Dimitriy Mikutsa na Khadis Ibragimov throw-down in the M-1 Challenge 96 tukio kuu, in M-1 Arena, at Saint Petersburg, Russia.

 

 

 

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 last February at M-1 Challenge 87 na Dmitry Tebekin katika 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 Stephan 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, wakati 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) inachukua Viktor Kolesnik (14-3-1, M-1: 3-1-1), ya Russia.

 

 

 

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 katika ufunguzi pande zote.

 

 

 

Kolesnik’s lone loss in his last 10 mapambano, dating back nearly four years, was by split decision at M-1 Challenge 85 kwa Nate Landwehr, who is now the newly crowned M-1 Challenge featherweight champion.

 

 

 

Mapambano ya ziada hivi karibuni kuwa alitangaza. All mapambano na wapiganaji ni chini ya mabadiliko.

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.

He was lucky that night, bit I don’t want to belittle Khamzat’s skills. He’s an excellent fighter and a great person.
“Would I win a rematch? I don’t want to make any predictions but, if we fight for the second time, we will see who is going to be the winner. But I am sure that I am a better fighter than him.

Everybody knows who the true champion is, hivyo, as soon as I have an opportunity to win the title, I’ll do it.”

The well-balanced Ukrainian, ambaye alishinda 13 ya mwisho wake 14 mapambano pro, is equally adept on his feet or ground.
“He is a young, strong opponent,” Buchinger spoke about his next opponent, “who is always ready to go until the end. I take all my fights seriously and the next one won’t be an exception. My coaches and team have watched some of my opponent’s fights and helped me to understand what I need to do in the fight, what I need to avoid. I am sure that I can get my strap back and this fight should become my first step. This time I feel a little bit different because I don’t feel any pressure, which I used to feel as champion.
“I am happy to fight in Saint Petersburg at the new M-1 Arena. I love Russian fans because they really understand MMA and are always very hospitable. I am going to make a huge comeback and win in style!"
