The judges were very busy as all five main event fights, plus three of five undercard matches, went the full distance on a card of evenly matched fights.
Competing fighters represented nine different countries: Rusi, Brazil, Spanjë, Francë, Kanadë, Kinë, Finlanda, Azerbaijan and Northern Ireland.
Luftuar nga Orenburgut, Rusi, Bogatov improved his pro MMA record to 7-0, 6-0 në M-1 konkurrencës globale, displaying improved striking ability to complement his outstanding wrestling skills.
Pereira’s (20-6-0) superior BJJ techniques from bottom were nullified Bogatov when the fight went down to the mat. Pereira was adversely affected by Bogatov’s takedown attack, which opened-up strong punches to Pereira’s head, resulting in a flash knockdown in the third round. Pereira got back in the fight midway through round four, connecting with punches and knees to the body, but the Brazilian needed a strong fifth and final round to win a decision. Bogatov, megjithatë, remained aggressive, firing strikes and making take-downs, on his way to a unanimous five-found decision and the coveted M-1 Challenge lightweight title belt.
Në rast bashkë me veti, veteran Spanish middleweight ENOC zgjidh Torres (23-10-1) registered a unanimous decision victory against previously undefeated Ruslan Shamilov (4-1-0), i Rusisë. Torres decked Shamilov early in the opening round, controlled the match, never relenting for a hard-earned win.
Past M-1 Challenge title challenger Maxim Grabovich (9-4-0), i Rusisë, overcame a rocky moment in the second round against his Brazilian opponent, Tiago Varejao Lacerda (27-6-1), to control most of the action to take a split decision.
Peshë e lehtë franceze Mickael “Ragnar” Lebout (18-9-2) and always tough Russian Alexey “Detyrë” Makhno battled tooth and nail in a bloody war (see pictures below). Lebout hit Makhno in the face with everything but the proverbial kitchen sink, but the Russian refused to go down and even landed a few solid shots on Lebout, who also has good “whiskers”. Lebout won an entertaining fight by way of a unanimous three-round decision.
In the main card opener, dangerous striker Pavel Gordeev (12-1-0) edged grappling specialist Alik Albogachiev (5-1-0) by way of a split decision in a showdown between Russian lightweights. The fighters were upright in the first two rounds, much to Gordeev’s advantage, and the previously Albogachiev was unable to close the gap in the final frame.
Në undercard, Canadian welterweight Spencer “Judge” Jebb (13-6-0) kapërceu një-raundin e parë nokaut, pounding his way to a unanimous decision versus Russian Vladimir “The Woodcutter” Tyurin (4-4-0) and another Canadian, bantamweight Chris “The Greek Assassin” Kelades (13-4-0) outworked the much younger Sergey Klyuev (6-2-0), i Rusisë, to win a three-round unanimous decision.

In a spirited match between Russian bantamweights, settled by a unanimous decision, Ivan Eremenko (8-2-0) was too much to handle for Nidzhat Imanov (4-4-1).

SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusi (Shtator 26, 2018) — Undefeated Russian rising star Roman Bogatov merr, Brazilian mixed-martial-arts veteran Rubenilton Pereira (20-5-0, M-1: 4-2-0) this Friday in the M-1 Challenge 97 / Tatfight 7 Ngjarja kryesore, për the vacant M-1 Challenge 97 lightweight title, at Kazan, Rusi.
M-1 Challenge 97 will be live-streamed from Russia in high definition on www.M1Global.TV. Shikuesit do të jetë në gjendje të shikojnë lufton paraprake dhe kartë kryesor nga prerjet mbi të regjistrohen në www.M1Global.TV. Fans may watch all the action on their computers, si edhe në Android dhe Apple telefonat e mençur dhe tableta. M-1 Challenge 97 also will be available on www.FITE.TV (preliminary card is free, $7.99 for the main card).
The M-1 Challenge lightweight crown is vacant because the last champion, Damir Ismagulov, recently relinquished his title to sign a UFC contract.
Bogatov (6-0-0, M-1: 5-0-0) is a submission master, four of his six pro victories have been by way of choke-outs, because of his dangerous grappling skills and techniques. In his last fight this past June at M-1 Challenge 94, Bogatov earned his title shot by defeating always tough Raul Tutarauli (18-5-0), whose previous fight was a decision loss to Ismagulov in the latter’s final M-1 Challenge title defense.
Bogatov recently entered The Rage to answer a few questions of interest:
How was training camp?
RB: “For the fight against Pereira, I’ve trained in Ekaterinburg, Rusi, at RMK Academy with famous fighters like Ivan Shtyrkov, Alexey Kunchenko, Mikhail Ragozin, Artur Karavaev and Pavel Gordeev, who was preparing for his fight at the same event, M-1 Challenge 97 / Tatfight 7. In camp, I have focused on my cardio, because this is the foundation of my success and a key to victory. I also had many sparring and wrestling sessions and had CrossFit workouts in the morning.”
What advantages do you have over your opponent?
RB: “I have will power, wrestling and grappling skills and I’m ready to constantly push forward and dominate this fight. Pereira is a patient and tough opponent, so it’s not simple to finish him. He is used to long fights, has good cardio, decent striking and wrestling skills and as any Brazilian, he has a solid BJJ game.”
How is it preparing for this fight?
RB: “Before fights I am doing my best not to think too much about the upcoming battle. I prefer just to train and spend time with my family and friends. Right before the fight, you start to pump yourself up. When you need to cut weight, you become a bit more aggressive, because that’s not an easy thing to do. At the face-off when you are looking right into the eyes of your opponent, you get a boost of motivation and can’t wait to enter The Rage.”
What is your goal?
RB: “My goal is to win the belt, defend it, and be an active and dominant champion. Some of the M-1 Challenge champs have signed contracts with the UFC and I would love to follow their path in the future.”
What is your best experience?
RB: “The most pleasant thing in the game is not the victory itself, not even winning the belt. The best thing is the feeling when you come back home, see the smile on your mother’s face, and give hugs to your parents and family. This is the best feeling in the world.”

SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusi (Shtator 21, 2018) — Brazilian mixed-martial-arts veteran Rubenilton Pereira faces undefeated Russian rising star Roman Bogatov(6-0-0), Shtator 29, për the vacant M-1 Challenge 97 lightweight title, headlining M-1 Challenge: Tatfight in Kazam, Rusi.

The M-1 Challenge lightweight crown is vacant because the last champion, Damir Ismagulov, recently relinquished his title to sign a UFC contract.
Dardhë (20-5-0, M-1: 4-2-0) ka fituar ndeshjet e tij të fundit, including a technical knockout in his last action, also at M-1 Challenge 94 last June, kur Oktom Baktybek ws unable to continue to fight after the opening round. Pereira’s two M-1 Global losses have been to a pair of M-1 Challenge champions, Ismagulov and Alexander Butenko, both by decision.
Pereira recently entered The Rage to answer a few questions of interest:
How do you feel about this title shot and not getting a rematch against?
RP: “I’m very thankful for the opportunity to fight for the title. I have been working hard to receive my title shot and, sigurisht, I was hoping to have a rematch with the champ, Damir Ismagulov. I was surprised when they told me Ismagulov left the belt vacant to sign with the UFC. I’m happy for him. He is a great fighter and I know he can become the UFC champion, too”.
How do you feel about fighting in M-1 Global?
RP: “I enjoy fighting in M-1 Global and I’d like to stay here for a long time. They’ve treated me really good. Tani, I’m on a four-fight winning streak, but I was not that successful when I first joined the promotion. After two losses in a row I thought they were going to send me home, but they gave me another chance and I seized it.
How do you effectively drop nearly 50 pounds from your walk-around weight to fight as a lightweight?
RP: “I have no special secret. Unë vetëm tren vështirë, three times a day, Sunday to Sunday. Usually, I weigh around 92 kg (203 lbs), but I never miss weight and always make 70 kg (154 lbs) for the weigh-ins. Some think this is a huge advantage for me in the fight but, trust me, I suffer much more than anybody to make weight.”
What do you know about your next opponent, Roman Bogatov?
“Roman Bogatov is a tough opponent. Maybe he has better wrestling and takedowns, but I’m a much better grappler. I’m self-confident and know that I can tap him out. If he takes me down, that’s better for me. I had a great camp and I’m ready for five rounds, but one of us will fall before round three.”

M-1 Veteranët globalë & ish-kampionët Flasim për M-1 & UFC Moskë
|
SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusi (Shtator 14, 2018) – Veteranët dhe ish-kampionët e M-1 Global shprehën kohët e fundit mendimet dhe mendimet e tyre në lidhje me përvojat e tyre të M-1 dhe të nesërmen (Shtatë. 15) Karta e UFC Moskës në Stadiumin Olimpik në Moskë.
Aleksei Oleinik, M-1 Veteran global, vs. Mark Hunt në ngjarjen kryesore të UFC Moskës:
“M-1 Global është një promovim i shkëlqyeshëm rus dhe me të vërtetë më ka pëlqyer koha kur kam luftuar atje. Çdo luftë për mua ishte një hap tjetër në karrierën time. Ne nuk kemi zgjedhur kundërshtarë, kishte luftime të vlerësuara, dhe mori pjesë në Grand-Prix.”
Alexander Volkov, Ish M-1 Challenge kampion peshë e rëndë:
“Një nga momentet më të mira që pata në M-1 Global ishte fitorja për ekipin tonë në M-1 Selection. Në atë kohë kishte gara ekipore në M-1 Global dhe më mungon ai format. Një moment tjetër i shkëlqyeshëm ishte kur fitova titullin M-1 Challenge në pesha të rënda. Çdo luftë e rëndësishme është shumë e paharrueshme.”
“Luftimet e mia të para M-1 Global ishin në garat e ekipit Përzgjedhës M-1, gjë që më ndihmoi mua si një luftëtar i ri për të filluar karrierën time, gjej vendin tim në këtë sport dhe kupto që i përkas MMA-së. Në atë kohë ishte një mundësi e shkëlqyer për atletët e rinj për të demonstruar aftësitë e tyre dhe për t'u paraqitur në stacionet lokale televizive, kështu që M-1 Global ishte hapi i parë në karrierën time profesionale.”
“UFC ka një ndikim të madh në zhvillimin e tregut rus MMA. Partneriteti midis M-1 Global dhe UFC i jep M-1 Global shumë përparësi në tregun lokal dhe e bën atë shumë më tërheqës për luftëtarët rusë. Të gjithë artistët e përziera marciale kanë një ëndërr për të luftuar në UFC dhe tani rruga është e qartë. Siç e kemi parë shumë herë, Luftëtarët dhe kampionët kryesorë nga M-1 Global garojnë në nivelin më të lartë në UFC.”
Ramadan Emeev, ish-kampion i peshave të mesme Challenge M-1, vs. Stefan Sekulic në UFC Moskë
“Ndjej një farë përgjegjësie për këtë luftë sepse po luftoj në shtëpi. Shumë miq dhe tifozë do të vijnë për të më mbështetur dhe unë nuk dua t'i heq. Unë dua të bëj një shfaqje të shkëlqyeshme, të fitojë luftën, dhe bëj të lumtur të gjithë ata që po më mbështesin.
“Meqenëse po luftoj në shtëpi, Nuk kam pse të fluturoj diku dhe të ambientohem. Në luftimet e mia të mëparshme më duhej të fluturoja përtej oqeanit për të garuar. Tani, është radha e tyre, dhe gjithçka do të jetë sipas rregullave të mia.”
Rustam Khabilov M-1 Global veteran, vs. Kajan Johnson në UFC Moskë
“Ka një përgjegjësi të madhe duke luftuar në shtëpi kur turma po ju pret. Nuk ka rëndësi nëse është M-1 Global apo UFC. Turmat janë të njëjta. Shumë miq dhe tifozë do të shqetësohen, dhe ata do të vijnë për të më rrënjosur, kështu që ua kam borxh këtë fitore. Unë duhet të fitoj. Kjo është arsyeja pse unë u trajnova tre herë më fort për këtë luftë. Tani, Unë jam duke parashikuar një kundërshtar. Cdo gje do te rregullohet.”
Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, një nga trajnerët më të mirë të MMA në botë dhe babai i UFC dhe ish-luftëtarit M-1 Global Kabib Nurmagomedov
“M-1 Global është historia e MMA ruse dhe nuk është rastësi që shumë luftëtarë që filluan karrierën e tyre në M-1 Global janë shumë të suksesshëm në botën MMA. M-1 Global ishte një themel për artet marciale të përziera në Rusi, u përball me disa sfida, mësuan nga gabimet e tyre dhe vazhduan të ecnin përpara. Shumica e luftëtarëve rusë të cilët tani janë nënshkruar me UFC erdhën saktësisht nga M-1 Global.”

Fighting in UFC dream come true for M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov
|
Shtatë. 15 at UFC Moscow vs. C.B. Dollaway |
|
SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusi (Shtator 5, 2018) – Fighting in the UFC is a dream come true for undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov (11-0-0, M-1: 8-0-0), who will make his UFC debut September 15, fighting on the UFC Moskë card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.
Frolov recently agreed on short notice (2 weeks) to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against veteran American fighter C.B. “The Doberman” Dollaway (17-8-0).
Fighting at home in Russia, the 26-year-old Frolov won his M-1 Challenge title belt last October, when he took a unanimous decision from Caio Magalhaes në M-1 Challenge 84. This past June at M-1 Challenge 93, Frolov made his first and lone title defense to date against Joe Riggs, who suffered a knee injury that led to a doctor’s stoppage in the second round.
Dje, Frolov sat down for a one-on-one interview:
How long have you working on a deal to sign with UFC?
AF: “My manager has been working on signing me with the UFC for a while, but until the last few days, we had no solid agreement. A few days ago, they finally offered me a contract and asked to step in to replace an injured fighter at UFC Moscow.
“I thought it over and decided it was a great opportunity to join the UFC, which I did not want to miss. I would not say this contract was a surprise for me, people have been working on it, so I was ready.”
How does it feel to sign with UFC?
AF: “I’m excited to sign with the best promotion in the world, but I know that my debut fight won’t be easy, I’m stepping in on a short notice just two weeks before the show. I was going to defend my belt in M-1 Global in a couple months, so now I need to cut weight fast. The most difficult thing is not just to cut weight, but afterwards to recover well. In the UFC, IVs are banned and you have to be extremely careful with supplements you take to recover.”
What shape are you in for this fight considering only two-week’s notice?
AF: “I was preparing for a fight in M-1 Global, so I’m in good shape. We are going to work on my speed now but first, I have to cut weight. Once in my career I took a fight on a short notice, I had three weeks to prepare and I won that fight by TKO in the second round.”
What do you know about your opponent, C.B. Dollaway?
AF: “I’ve seen a couple of C.B. Dollaway’s UFC fights, but I have never considered him as my opponent, so did not pay too much attention to him. There are many good fighters in the UFC, so I can’t say that I know a lot about my opponent. We don’t have not enough time to concentrate on him, so we’ll concentrate on me.”
When do you feel you can challenge the top UFC fighters in your weight class?
AF: “I’m not going to demand huge fights with the top opponents in the UFC. I’ll take my time and be ready to fight any opponent they’ll give me. I need time to get used to new conditions, tune up my preparation, and put in order the whole system and then I will be ready for any challenges.
“Everything is in our hands; nothing is impossible. If someone wants something badly, sets a goal and works hard to achieve it, he or she will succeed. I’m just a regular guy who had a dream to fight in the UFC and I made it. Dream big, set goals and achieve them!”
