“On my way to Russia,” Riggs explained his journey, “we took an Uber to get to the airport. We had an accident. I wanted to take another Uber, but the cops would not let me leave, because they wanted to send me to the hospital to get checked. One of my cornermen had to go to the hospital because he was seated in the part of the car that has been damaged.

CHELYABINSK, Rússia (Maio 30, 2018) – flyweight Greece-nascido Chris “O Kelades grego” Keldes (12-3-0, M-1: 1-0-0), lutando fora da Dartmouth, Canadá, assume lutador ucraniano Alexander Pletenko (13-4-0, M;1: 0-0-0) nesta noite de sexta no M-1 Desafio 93 card principal, em Chelyabinsk, Rússia.
Kelades fez o seu sucesso M-1 estreia mundial em novembro passado no M-1 Challenge 86, quando derrotou Oleg Lichkovakha por meio de uma apresentação na terceira rodada (Kimura).
Tem sido mais do que uma meia- ano desde o seu M-1 Global de estreia. Por que fazer uma longa pausa, tais?
CK: “É difícil acreditar que já faz tanto tempo. Era para eu lutar em março, mas eu tinha problemas para obter meu visto de viagem garantidos, então eu estava remarcado para lutar em abril, mas, infelizmente, o evento foi cancelado. Assim, Eu estive pronto para lutar, mas as circunstâncias mudaram as datas. Estou animado para esta luta e ansioso para lutar em Chelyabinsk. Duas vezes minhas lutas foram canceladas e foi extremamente frustrante, mas ele me deu mais tempo para trabalhar no meu jogo e aprender novas técnicas.”
Em seu M-1 Global de estreia, você tem sido muito cauteloso durante as duas primeiras rodadas, mas na terceira rodada você tem uma submissão. É o seu estilo de luta real ou você só queria ganhar a luta de estréia, sem correr riscos?
CK: Cada luta é diferente. Às vezes, em um novo ambiente leva mais tempo para sentir o começo luta e você tem que ler o adversário antes de reagir de forma muito agressiva.”
O que você pode dizer sobre o seu próximo adversário, Alexander Pletenko? Você tem registros similares. Será que isso significa que você tem estilos de luta semelhantes?
CK: “Eu vi algumas lutas dele e eu não acho que nós temos estilos semelhantes. Eu estive lutando contra os melhores caras do mundo e em um determinado nível é mais difícil de terminar lutas.”
Antes de ingressar na M-1 Global você nunca tinha lutado em qualquer lugar exceto América do Norte. Qual é a sensação de lutar a meio mundo de distância de sua casa?
CH: “Eu realmente gostava de mim pela última vez em minha estréia com a M-1 Global. A viagem é um pouco de um aborrecimento com a distância, mas eu realmente gosto de lutar internacionalmente e aqui na Rússia. Eu gosto de lutar fora, porque eu gosto de ter que provar a mim mesmo para outros lutadores e fãs. Isso me motiva!”

CHELYABINSK, Rússia (Maio 29, 2018) – Invicto M-1 Challenge campeão dos médios Artem Frolov (10-0-0, M-1: 7-0-0) defends his title for the first time this Friday against American favorite Joe “Diesel” Riggs (47-17-1, M-1: 2-0-1) no M-1 Desafio 93 co-featured evento, em Chelyabinsk, Rússia.
Frolov has knocked out four of his opponents and submitted four others. Outubro passado, Frolov captured the belt by defeating UFC veteran Caio Magalhaes, do Brasil, by unanimous decision and he needed a break to heal his injuries.
Artem Frolov (L) puts his perfect record and M-1 Challenge middleweight title belt on the line this Friday against Joe “Diesel” Riggs
Em 2016 you had three fights and last year you fought only twice. How many fights a year would you like to have in the future?
AF: “I would like to fight three times a year. I think this is the best number because it lets me have enough time for good recovery after fights and enough time for training camps. Claro, there are also some distraction factors, which do not let me fight more often like, por exemplo, some amateur competitions where I fight from time to time.”
Your title fight against Caio Magalhaes was a hard trial for you. How difficult was that 25- minute brawl?
AF: “I knew the fight was going to be a tough confrontation because Caio is a great fighter with excellent striking skills. Contudo, during the fight I found the best way to fight him and saw how I could get the victory. He impressed me with his firmness; he did not quit after I delivered many hard punches, so I must admit he has a big heart.”
When did you learn that you were going to fight Joe Riggs? What can you say about his skills?
AF: “Even before the title fight I knew that, if I won the belt, my first title defense would be against Joe Riggs. He drew my attention with his debut fight in M-1 Global. I checked his record, took a look at the list of the guys he had defeated, and understood that sooner or later we were going to meet in The Rage.
“Claro, in the last few months, I watched many of the Diesel’s fights. His main advantage is his experience, he has five times more fights than me. Riggs is a well-rounded fighter, his wrestling skills together with the excellent control skills on the ground, and powerful ground-and- pound are probably his main strengths. Assim, he is definitely a fighter of the ‘American school’.”
After capturing the title, you were mentioned among the top 20 best prospects in the world by the famous MMA magazine Fighters Only. What does it feel?
AF: I was flattered to be mentioned in the best prospects list, especially by a respected magazine like Fighters Only. Such recognition proves that you dedicate your life to MMA for a reason and that you have really achieved something. But I know that I have much work to do and a lot of things in my game to improve.”
Two weeks after your fight against Riggs there will be a contender fight between Mikhail Ragozin and Valery Myasnikov. Who do you think will be the winner? Which one of them would you like to fight?
AF: “I am acquainted with both these guys, so I would not like to fight either of them. I can’t say who is going to win this fight because they are both strong athletes and have their advantages. In my opinion the one who will have better cardio will win the fight.
“I would prefer to fight only the strongest foreigners, not fellow countrymen. You travel around the country, have camps in different places, make friends and one day you are told that you are fighting one of them. That is not the best feeling, Confie em mim, so I’d like to fight the best athletes from other countries, so I can fight not only for myself, my gym and my city, but for the country, defending the honor of the national flag.”
You have the same number of wins by knockouts and submissions in your record. How would you like to end the upcoming fight?
AF: “I came to MMA as a wrestler, so it makes me happy that I am getting better at striking. Contudo, it feels great to win via submission as well, especially when it is a beautiful one. As a matter of fact, any finish is awesome, because my family and friends are worried about me during the fight and I don’t like to make them worry too long. Assim, I prefer to finish the fights early.

“Mudando o resultado para ‘sem concurso’ é a melhor escolha,” Kharitonov concordou. “Esta não foi a vitória que eu queria. Eu tinha certeza de que a luta seria governada como nenhum concurso, Então fiquei surpreso quando o árbitro levantou minha mão. Anton não queria me cutucar, Então eu acho que a decisão agora é justa. No hospital, me disseram que tenho contusão nos olhos e abrasão da córnea. Espero me recuperar rapidamente e obter uma revanche.”
Sergei Kharitonov (R) não concordou com a decisão original declarando -lhe o vencedor.
“Eu acho ‘sem concurso’ é um resultado justo,” Vyazigin adicionou. “Eu tinha certeza de que depois disso cutucar, Sergei faria uma pausa, E então vamos continuar. Mas a luta foi parada e ele foi declarado o vencedor. Falando sobre abrasão da córnea, Eu não tenho ideia de como isso pode acontecer. Eu sempre cortei minhas unhas antes das brigas e o árbitro verifica que, Então isso é estranho. Claro, Eu quero uma revanche, Nossa história não terminou.”

SÃO PETERSBURGO, Rússia (Maio 24, 2018) – MMA living legend Sergey Kharitonov (27-6-0, M-1: 5-0-0) outs his perfect M-1 record on the line today against fellow Russian heavyweight, “Cherepovets gigante” Anton Vyazigin (9-2-1, M-1: 4-1-0), in today’s (Maio 24) M-1 Desafio 92 main event SuperFight, na Arena M-1 em São Petersburgo, Rússia.

The 37-year-old Kharitonov has defeated a Who’s Who of some of top heavyweight MMA fighters, Incluindo Alister Overeem, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum e 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 anos. 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, por exemplo, 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. Assim, I am ready for this. MMA is my passion, but I love kickboxing, muito, 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: “Tudo depende. One fighter can reach his prime at 25, another one at 35, mas, Na minha opinião, 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. mesmo assim, I usually watch my opponents’ lutas. 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, dois, três, maybe even five? These guys have long careers ahead and they have to keep growing and showing their best!”

SÃO PETERSBURGO, Rússia (Maio 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) nesta quinta-feira (Maio 24) to determine the “indisputado” king of the M-1 Global flyweights, no M-1 Desafio 92 co-featured evento, 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 Desafio 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, se necessário. 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: “De Fato, 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!”

SÃO PETERSBURGO, Rússia (Maio 21, 2018) – O “indisputado” M-1 Challenge flyweight title bout will be on the line this Thursday (Maio 24), when M-1 Challenge flyweight champion Alexander Doskalchuk (foto acima) e titlist intermediário Arman Ashimov square off in the M-1 Desafio 92 co-featured evento, at M-1 Arena in St. Petersburg, Rússia.
Doskalchuk (8-1-0, M-1: 2-0-0), lutando fora da Ucrânia, ganhou seu cinturão de título em setembro passado emM-1 Desafio 83, Quando ele usou um sufocante de guilhotina para enviar Vadim Malygin na segunda rodada. Invicto na competição M-1, Doskalchuk ganhou uma decisão majoritária em sua estréia no M-1 em maio passado, sobre Binh His em M-1 Desafio 78.
Ashimov (8-2-1, M-1: 3-0-0) ganhou seu título interino gravado em fevereiro passado ao parar Gadzhimurad Aliev e Ervani Melonio com socos, respectivamente, na segunda e primeira rodadas. Em M-1 Desafio 87, o cazaque mais impressionante deu um soco Mikael afundandor Em duas rodadas para capturar o Campeonato Interino de Mosso Mínico do M-1 Desafio.

Doskalchuk (foto acima) 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. Em breve, 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, claro, 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. By the way, em São Petersburgo, 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, Incluindo Alistair Overeem, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum e Pedro Rizzo.
A 6′ 6″, 265-pound Vyazigin, who is coming off a sensational 16-seconds knockout ofZaur Gadzhibabayev this past March at M-1 Desafio 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. Como 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. I have a great team, 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. Agora, when I am 265 libras. 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, se necessário, 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: “Agora, I am concentrated on the upcoming fight but, sim, definitely if I win this fight I will be the No. 1 peso pesado. Contudo, 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!”
