 (L-R) – Vyacheslav Vasilevsky & Alexander Shlemenko
ST. PETERSBURG, Rússland (Maí 17, 2016) – Former M-1 Challenge light heavyweight and middleweight champion Vyacheslav Vasilevsky (28-4-0, M-1: 10-2-0) has stepped up to replace injured Ramadan Emeev gegn Alexander “Storm” Shlemenko (52-9-0, M-1: 3-0-0) in the final of the M-1 Grand Prix Middleweight Tournament, aðalnúmerið
M-1 Challenge 68, Júní 16 at Yubileyny Sports Palace in St. Petersburg, Rússland.
Emeev (14-3-0, M-1: 8-1-0) suffered a torn ligament in his elbow during training camp. In a M-1 Challenge Grand Prix Middleweight Tournament semifinals match last February, Vasilevsky lost a majority decision to Shlemenko in the M-1 Challenge 64 Fight kvöldsins.
“We were in a very difficult situation after Ramazan Ogmeev got injured,” M-1 Global forseti Vadim Finkelchtein explained. “The whole event was in jeopardy. Svo, nú, we’re grateful to Vyacheslav Vasilevsky for agreeing to step in and face Shlemenko in our M-1 Grand Prix finals being held on his (Vasilevsky) afmæli.
“Due to our contract obligations, we were unable to postpone the event because it is officially included in the St. Petersburg Ogconomic Forum, which is something every one of our fighters knew from the very beginning. There’s a paragraph in the Grand Prix fighters’ contract stating we can use one of the guys who fought in the semifinals of the tournament in case someone gets injured. Now we’re making one of the most anticipated rematches in the history of Russian MMA.”
M-1 Challenge þungavigtar meistari Alexander “Drago” Volkov (25-6-0, M-1: 9-3-0) will make his first title defense against Attila “Pumuklo” Vegh (29-6-2, M-1: 0-0-0) á M-1 Challenge 68. A match between Russian middleweight Valery “Rússneska Hammer” Myasnikov (10-1-1, M-1: 1-1-1) and Spanish veteran Enoc Leysa Torres (18-9-0, M-1: 5-6-0) has also been announced for the June 16th kort.
“The M-1 Challenge 68 event is going to be huge,” Finkelchtein added. “We’re stacking the card with Alexander Volkov vs Attila Vegh fighting in an M-1 Challenge heavyweight title fight. The Grand Prix winner, Shlemenko still gets $50,000. As for Ramazan Ogmeev, we will put efforts into arranging his fight with Alexander Shlemenko Þetta haust, if Shlemenko is still fighting in Russia. Emeev versus Shlemenko will provide the answer to all of the questions MMA fans still arguing about.”
