“De camí a Rússia,” Riggs va explicar el seu viatge, “vam agafar un Uber per arribar a l'aeroport. Vam tenir un accident. Volia agafar un altre Uber, però la policia no em va deixar marxar, perquè em volien enviar a l'hospital perquè em revisen. Un dels meus cantoners va haver d'anar a l'hospital perquè estava assegut a la part del cotxe que s'ha fet malbé.

CHELIABINSK, Rússia (Maig 30, 2018) – Pes mosca nascut a Grècia Chris “Les Kelades gregues” Kelades (12-3-0, M-1: 1-0-0), lluitant fora de Dartmouth, Canadà, s'enfronta a un lluitador ucraïnès Alexander Pletenko (13-4-0, M;1: 0-0-0) aquest divendres a la nit al M-1 Desafiament 93 Targeta principal, a Chelyabinsk, Rússia.
Kelades va fer el seu exitós debut a M-1 Global el novembre passat a M-1 Challenge 86, quan va derrotar Oleg Lichkovakha by way of a third-round submission (Kimura).
Ha passat més de la meitat- any des del teu debut a l'M-1 Global. Per què vas fer un descans tan llarg?
CK: “És difícil de creure que hagi passat tant de temps. Se suposa que havia de lluitar al març, però vaig tenir problemes per assegurar-me el visat de viatge, així que em van tornar a reservar per lluitar a l'abril però, desafortunadament, l'esdeveniment va ser cancel·lat. Així, He estat preparat per lluitar, però les circumstàncies han canviat les dates. Estic emocionat per aquesta lluita i tinc ganes de lluitar a Chelyabinsk. S'han cancel·lat dues vegades les meves baralles i va ser extremadament frustrant, però em va donar més temps per treballar el meu joc i aprendre noves tècniques.”
En el teu debut M-1 Global, heu estat molt prudents durant les dues primeres rondes, però a la tercera ronda vas rebre una presentació. És el teu veritable estil de lluita o només volies guanyar la lluita del debut sense córrer riscos??
CK: Cada baralla és diferent. De vegades, en un entorn nou, es triga més a sentir l'inici de la lluita i has de llegir l'oponent abans de reaccionar massa agressivament.”
Què pots dir del teu pròxim oponent?, Alexander Pletenko? Tens registres semblants. Vol dir que tens estils de lluita similars??
CK: “He vist algunes de les seves baralles i no crec que tinguem estils semblants. He estat lluitant contra els millors nois del món i a un cert nivell és més difícil acabar les baralles.”
Abans d'unir-vos a M-1 Global, mai havíeu lluitat enlloc excepte Amèrica del Nord. Què se sent lluitar a mig món lluny de casa teva?
CH: “Vaig gaudir molt l'última vegada en el meu debut amb M-1 Global. El viatge és una mica complicat amb la distància, però m'agrada molt lluitar a nivell internacional i aquí a Rússia. M'agrada lluitar perquè m'agrada haver de demostrar-me a altres lluitadors i als aficionats. Em motiva!”

CHELIABINSK, Rússia (Maig 29, 2018) – Campió de pes mitjà invicte M-1 Challenge Artem Frolov (10-0-0, M-1: 7-0-0) defensa el seu títol per primera vegada aquest divendres contra el favorit nord-americà Joe “Dièsel” Riggs (47-17-1, M-1: 2-0-1) al M-1 Desafiament 93 Esdeveniment co-carregat, a Chelyabinsk, Rússia.
Frolov ha eliminat quatre dels seus oponents i n'ha presentat quatre més. L'octubre passat, Frolov va capturar el cinturó en derrotar al veterà de l'UFC Caio Magalhaes, del Brasil, per decisió unànime i necessitava un descans per curar les seves lesions.
Artem Frolov (L) posa en joc el seu rècord perfecte i el cinturó de pes mitjà M-1 Challenge aquest divendres contra Joe “Dièsel” Riggs
En 2016 Vas tenir tres baralles i l'any passat només vas lluitar dues vegades. Quantes baralles a l'any t'agradaria tenir en el futur?
DE: “M'agradaria lluitar tres cops a l'any. Crec que aquest és el millor número perquè em permet tenir temps suficient per a una bona recuperació després de les baralles i temps suficient per als camps d'entrenament. Per descomptat, també hi ha alguns factors de distracció, que no em deixen lluitar més sovint com, per exemple, unes competicions d'aficionats on lluito de tant en tant.”
La teva lluita pel títol contra Caio Magalhaes va ser una dura prova per a tu. Què difícil va ser això 25- minut baralla?
DE: “Sabia que la lluita seria un enfrontament dur perquè Caio és un gran lluitador amb excel·lents habilitats de cop. No obstant això, durant la lluita vaig trobar la millor manera de lluitar contra ell i vaig veure com podia aconseguir la victòria. Em va impressionar amb la seva fermesa; no va renunciar després de donar molts cops forts, així que he de reconèixer que té un gran cor.”
Quan vas saber que lluitaries contra Joe Riggs?? Què pots dir de les seves habilitats?
DE: “Fins i tot abans de la lluita pel títol ho sabia, si guanyés el cinturó, la meva primera defensa del títol seria contra Joe Riggs. Em va cridar l'atenció amb la seva lluita debut a M-1 Global. Vaig comprovar el seu registre, va fer una ullada a la llista dels nois que havia derrotat, i va entendre que tard o d'hora ens trobaríem a The Rage.
“Per descomptat, en els últims mesos, Vaig veure moltes de les baralles del Diesel. El seu principal avantatge és la seva experiència, té cinc vegades més baralles que jo. Riggs és un lluitador complet, les seves habilitats de lluita juntament amb les excel·lents habilitats de control a terra, i potent terra-i- la lliura són probablement els seus principals punts forts. Així, sens dubte és un lluitador de l'"escola americana".”
Després de capturar el títol, et van esmentar entre els primers 20 millors prospectes del món per la famosa revista de MMA Fighters Only. Què se sent?
DE: Em va afalagar ser esmentat a la llista de millors clients potencials, sobretot per una revista respectada com Només lluitadors. Aquest reconeixement demostra que dediques la teva vida a les MMA per una raó i que realment has aconseguit alguna cosa. Però sé que tinc molta feina per fer i moltes coses per millorar en el meu joc.”
Dues setmanes després de la vostra lluita contra Riggs, hi haurà una lluita entre Mikhail Ragozin i Valery Myasnikov.. Qui creus que serà el guanyador? Amb quin d'ells t'agradaria lluitar?
DE: “Conec aquests dos nois, així que no m'agradaria lluitar contra cap d'ells. No puc dir qui guanyarà aquesta lluita perquè tots dos són atletes forts i tenen els seus avantatges.. Al meu entendre, el que tingui millor cardio guanyarà la lluita.
“Preferiria lluitar només amb els estrangers més forts, no compatriotes. Viatja per tot el país, tenir colònies en diferents llocs, fes amics i un dia et diuen que estàs lluitant contra un d'ells. Aquesta no és la millor sensació, confia en mi, així que m'agradaria lluitar contra els millors atletes d'altres països, així puc lluitar no només per mi, el meu gimnàs i la meva ciutat, sinó pel país, defensant l'honor de la bandera nacional.”
Tens el mateix nombre de victòries per nocauts i enviaments al teu registre. Com t'agradaria acabar la propera lluita??
DE: “Vaig arribar a les MMA com a lluitador, així que em fa feliç que estic millorant en vaga. No obstant això, també se sent molt bé guanyar mitjançant la presentació, sobretot quan és bonic. De fet, qualsevol acabat és fantàstic, perquè la meva família i amics estan preocupats per mi durant la baralla i no m'agrada que es preocupin massa. Així, Prefereixo acabar les baralles abans d'hora.

“No Contest”
Aleksander Doskalchuk crowned undisputed
M-1 Challenge flyweight champion |
Aleksander Doskalchuk is now the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion
|
SANT PETERSBURG, Rússia (Maig 25, 2018) – Last night’s SuperFight between Russian heavyweight star Sergei Kharitonov and his main event challenger, Anton Viazigin, was declared a “no contest” i Alexander Doskalchuk established himself as the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion last night at M-1 Desafiament 92 a l'M-1 Arena de Sant Petersburg, Rússia.
Kharitonov (27-6-0) originally was declared the winner by way of a second-round technical decision over his Russian opponent, Vyazigin (9-2-0), due to an illegal eye poke that prevented Kharitonov from continuing to fight.
The result was later changed to a “no contest” after the commission, assembled by M-1 Global president Vadim Finkelchtein, reviewed the fight video and made the decision to change the result. A rematch will be scheduled for one of the next events, likely M-1 Desafiament 95: Battle in the Mountains, which will happen in July in Ingushetia, Rússia.
“A ‘no contest’ was the only possible decision in this situation,” Finkelchtein explained the change. “It was an accident and yesterday the judges made the decision according to the rules, giving the victory to Kharitonov, based on the scorecards. But this fight was an exception.”
“Changing the result to ‘no contest’ is the best choice,” Kharitonov agreed. “This was not the victory I wanted. I was sure the fight would be ruled as no contest, so I was surprised when the referee raised my hand. Anton did not want to poke me, so I think the decision now is fair. In the hospital I was told I’ve got an eye contusion and corneal abrasion. I hope to recover fast and get a rematch.”
Sergei Kharitonov (R) didn’t agree with the original decision declaring him the winner.
“I think ‘no contest’ is a fair result,” Vyazigin added. “I was sure that after that poke, Sergei would take a break, and then we will go on. But the fight was stopped and he was declared the winner. Talking about corneal abrasion, I have no idea how it could happen. I always cut my nails before fights and the referee checks that, so that is weird. Per descomptat, Vull una revenja, our story has not ended.”
Doskalchuk (9-1-0), lluitant fora d'Ucraïna, entered The Rage as the M-1 Challenge flyweight champion to take on M-1 Challenge Interim flyweight titlist Arman Ashimov (8-3-1), de Kazakhstan. Ashimov was unable to continue after two rounds due to a hand injury.
Brazilian welterweight Tiago “Bahia” Varejao (27-5-1) turned in an impressive M-1 debut, taking a majority decision from former M-1 Challenge title challenger Serguei Romanov (14-3-0).
Giga Kukhavashvili (9-4-0) was disqualified in the third round for “rope grabbing” against undefeated Russian light heavyweight Khadis Ibragrimov (4-0-0).
Russian lightweight Pavel Gordeev (11-1-0) took a split decision victory from Mickael “Ragnar” Lebout (17-9-2), de França.
A la cartellera preliminar, pes pesat rus Maxim Baruzdin (1-0-0) won his pro debut, stopping Cuban giant Freddi Gonzales (0-2-0) in the opening round via punches, perspectiva lleugera russa Alexey “Fenomenal” Ilyenko (8-0-0) lived up to his nickname, remaining undefeated by unleashing a barrage of kicks and punches for a third-round knockout of Helson Henriques (9-6-1), of Angola.

Georgian welterweight Amiran Gogoladze (6-1-0) won a three-round split decision over Russian Taymuraz Guriev, mentre Ruslan Shamilov (5-0-0) kept his undefeated intact with a three-round split decision versus Denis Tiuliulin (3-4-0) in a battle between Russian middleweights.

The 37-year-old Kharitonov has defeated a Who’s Who of some of top heavyweight MMA fighters, Incloent Alister Overeem, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum i Pedro Rizzo.
Kharitonov had a few last words before the action officially begins:
Sergey, you have had 33 professional MMA during your career and now you are 37 anys. What is your motivation in MMA? Why do you keep fighting?
SK: “Fighting has become an essential part of my life. I literally can’t live without it. I love new challenges, and this is why I compete at different events and now, per exemple, I have a new challenge: two fights in one week. Tomorrow I have an MMA fight at M-1 Challenge 92 and in a week, I’ve got a kickboxing bout scheduled.
“This is life and we have to take risks, because no risk, no reward. Així, I am ready for this. MMA is my passion, but I love kickboxing, massa, and now I am interested in competing in both sports.”
It is said that for heavyweights the age of 35 is the prime, because this is the time when heavyweights are usually quite experienced, but still in shape. What do you think about it?
SK: “It all depends. One fighter can reach his prime at 25, another one at 35, però, En la meva opinió, it depends on his conscious. Take a look at some boxers like George Foreman, who fought until he was 48. Even in lighter divisions there are many examples of successful old fighters like Bernard Hopkins and even Floyd Mayweather Jr., who is not that young today. If you keep training hard, you can fight for a long time.”
Only twice in your career you won by decision. How does it happen that you finish almost all your opponents?
SK: “I always look at my opponent; if he gives me an opportunity to finish him, I do it. I don’t care how I win fights and I have no goal to finish my opponents. The only thing that really matters is the victory.”
Anton Vyazigin has power in his hands. Do you have a plan for the upcoming fight or do you need one?
SK: “My fighting style depends on the situation, but I think tomorrow we are going to have a stand-up fight. At this stage of my career, I do not really change my training camp for new opponents. I have pretty much experience, so I can just enter The Rage and do what I have to do. No obstant això, I usually watch my opponents’ baralles. I watched two fights of Vyazigin and can say that he is a great young athlete with heavy punches. I am very excited because it makes me happy that young guys like him are ready to replace us. Who knows how much time we have left, a year, 2, 3, maybe even five? These guys have long careers ahead and they have to keep growing and showing their best!”

SANT PETERSBURG, Rússia (Maig 22, 2018) – M-1 Challenge Interim flyweight champion Arman Ashimov takes on M-1 Challenge flyweight title-holder Alexander Doskalchuk(8-1-0, M-1: 2-0-0) aquest dijous (Maig 24) to determine the “indiscutible” king of the M-1 Global flyweights, al M-1 Desafiament 92 Esdeveniment co-carregat, at M-1 Arena in St. Petersburg, Rússia.
Ashimov (8-2-1, M-1: 3-0-0), who captured his Interim crown at M-1 Desafiament 87 last February,
Stopping Mikael Silander in round two voa punches, answered a series of M-1 Global questions:
Arman, how did the M-1 Challenge interim flyweight title change your life?
AA: “I was extremely happy to become the champion, but I would not say I felt such a big difference. Kazakhs knew me well even before I won the title, but after I won the belt, media started to pay more attention to me. It’s hard to say whether I won more fans because I had so many of them in Kazakhstan, but I hope that now in other countries there are more people who love the way I fight. People often recognize me on the streets of Kazakhstan, support me, ask for selfies. But I don’t feel like a star. I’m just a simple guy. Such attention does not bother me, because all Kazakhs are my relatives, how can I deny a selfie?
What is the secret of your knockout punch? Was it your goal to train such a hard punch?
AA: “It’s the will of Allah. We did not change the training plan, have been training striking and grappling as always. I am ready to go the full five round distance, si és necessari. I am strong enough for the 25-minute fight and this is exactly what I always have in mind. We consider an opportunity to go somewhere for training camp, but now I need to fulfil the target, and win the undisputed title.
Not many people know about it, but you are a great grappler. Can you tell us about your grappling experience?
AA: “En efecte, I don’t talk much about it, but I have some experience in grappling as well. The thing is that in The Rage, I don’t like grappling, I prefer a stand-up fight. If my opponent wants to check my skills, I will demonstrate them. I am a combat jiu-jitsu master of sports of international class for a reason, after all.”
What can you say about your opponent Aleksander Doskalchuk?
AA: “Aleksander Doskalchuk is a very experienced all-around fighter. His fighting style is like that of one of my previous opponents, Mikael Silander. He is good both at striking and grappling. I don’t know what game plan he is going to choose, but we will find it out very soon.”
Undoubtedly all of Kazakhstan will watch the broadcast, but will some fans of yours come to Saint Petersburg for the fight?
AA: “Many fans will come here from Kazakhstan, beside them will be a lot of Kazakhs living in Saint Petersburg, who will come to root for me. Even the Assembly of Kazakhs is going to support me. all this gives me an extra motivation!”

SANT PETERSBURG, Rússia (Maig 21, 2018) – La “indiscutible” M-1 Challenge flyweight title bout will be on the line this Thursday (Maig 24), when M-1 Challenge flyweight champion Alexander Doskalchuk (foto de dalt) i titular interí Arman Ashimov square off in the M-1 Desafiament 92 Esdeveniment co-carregat, at M-1 Arena in St. Petersburg, Rússia.
Doskalchuk (8-1-0, M-1: 2-0-0), lluitant fora d'Ucraïna, va guanyar el seu cinturó de títol el setembre passat aM-1 Desafiament 83, quan va fer servir un Choke de guillotina per presentar-se Vadim Malygin en la segona ronda. Invicte a la competició M-1, Doskalchuk va guanyar una decisió majoritària en el seu debut a l'M-1 el maig passat, sobre Binh Son Le a M-1 Desafiament 78.
Ashimov (8-2-1, M-1: 3-0-0) va guanyar la seva oportunitat de títol provisional el febrer passat aturant-se Gadzhimurad Aliev i Ervani Melonio amb cops de puny, respectivament, a la segona i primera ronda. En M-1 Desafiament 87, va colpejar el kazakh poderosament impactant Mikael Silander en dues rondes per capturar el M-1 Challenge Interim Flyweight Championship.

Doskalchuk (foto de dalt) sat down on the hot seat to participate in an exclusive one-on-one conversation:
It’s been seven months since you won the title. Why did you have to take such a long break?
AD: “I had to take time to heal all my injuries. There were problems with my ankle, so I could not train and fight for a few months. Aviat, we’ll see how this break will affect my performance. All my injuries are in the past and I am ready to win the upcoming fight and become the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion.
What did you feel when you were told an interim title was to be introduced?
AD: “I felt nothing. The interim title does not mean anything to me and I have concentrated only on one thing: winning my fights. It is known that Ashimov is a very fast fighter and has power in his hands. I can’t say anything about his endurance, because it all depends on the way the fight goes. We’ll see how good his endurance is very soon into our fight.”
How do you think your fight will go? Are you going to use your advantage in grappling?
AD: “I am ready for a five-round battle and, per descomptat, I will be looking for an opportunity to finish my opponent at all times. I would not say that my tactics will be focused on submissions. Take a look at my fights; I love boxing and in MMA you cannot rely on just one aspect.
Your fight against Ashimov was rescheduled from the last weekend’s show in China to May 24th in Saint Petersburg, Rússia. How did it change your training plan?
AS: “I was ready to fight on May 12th, but Arman did not get his visa, so we had to change plans for the new date. Maybe it’s for the best. The flight to Saint Petersburg is easier and faster than to China. Per cert, a Sant Petersburg, many more fans will come to root for me. Support is a very important part of the game and I am grateful to all the fans who will root for me at M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, and everybody who will hold their fingers crossed watching the broadcast!”

The 37-year-old Kharitonov, undefeated in five M-1 Challenge events, has defeated some of the greatest heavyweight MMA fighters of all-time, Incloent Alistair Overeem, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum i Pedro Rizzo.
El 6′ 6″, 265-pound Vyazigin, who is coming off a sensational 16-seconds knockout ofZaur Gadzhibabayev this past March at M-1 Desafiament 89, sat in the “hot seat” leading up to Thursday’s showdown to answer some questions:
Tell us about your training camp. Did you change a lot of your regular training methods for a fight against Kharitonov?
AV: “My training camp was no different from any other camp. Com sempre, I had many sparring sessions, wrestled a lot, and was focused on functional training. In general, it was just another camp. I trained at home in Cherepovets, because this is where I belong. I have good relations with fighters from many gyms, but I have never gone anywhere to a training camp. I don’t have enough money to go abroad for a camp, I work for myself.
I feel comfortable training in my gym. Tinc un gran equip, including some heavyweights, and we always help each other. If I have a fight scheduled, guys help me; if some other guys have fights, we all help them.”
How much will you weigh for the fight?
AV: “I think this time I will be at least 265 pounds before the fight, maybe even a bit heavier. I would not say I am that huge, there are many guys bigger than me. When I was a child, I used to be skinny and tall and only when I was n the Army did I start to gain weight. Ara, when I am 265 lliura. I breath good, and I think this weight is perfect for me.
What are your predictions for the upcoming fight? Are you going to fight Kharitonov standing or would like to take him down?
AV: In our weight class, one missed punch can end the fight, so I think we have equal chances to win this fight. During camp, we train for everything, so I will be ready to fight him standing but, si és necessari, I will take him down, because it is very important in MMA to be able to change the game plan during the fight.”
Give us your thoughts on the vacant M-1 Challenge heavyweight title. Do you see yourself as champion in a couple more fights?
AV: “Ara, I am concentrated on the upcoming fight but, si, definitely if I win this fight I will be the No. 1 contendent de pes pesat. No obstant això, I do not think about it right now. My goal is to fight the strongest and most experienced opponents, who are rated higher than me.
“I am not fighting in Saint-Petersburg for the first time and I really enjoy competing in this city. I think some fans will root for Sergey, but there will also be a lot of fans supporting me in the M-1 Arena on May 24th!”
