![]() ST. САНКТ-ПЕЦЯРБУРГ, Расія (Студзеня 26, 2016) – Reigning M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Рамадан Emeev will take on Brazilian challenger Maiquel “Big Rig” Falcao in the second M-1 Grand Prix middleweight eliminator, Сакавіка 4 на M-1 Challenge 65, ў Маскве.
The first M-1 Grand Prix match of 2016 is set in the middleweight division as three-time Bellator champion Аляксандр “Бура” Шлеменко (51-9-0, М-1: 2-0-0) takes on former M-1 Challenge middleweight and light heavyweight titlist Вячаслаў Васілеўскі (27-3-0, М-1: 10-1-0)на M-1 Challenge 64, Лютага 19 на Алімпійскім стадыёне ў Маскве.
The winners of Shlemenko vs. Vasilevsky and Emeev vs. Falcao will advance to the M-1 Grand Prix middleweight championship later this year.
“We tried to get the strongest middleweight fighters and did a great job to give fans the most spectacular match-ups,” M-1 Global прэзідэнт Вадзім Фінкельштэйн сказаў. “Every single fight is intriguing in M-1 Grand Prix. I can’t guess how these fights will end up. Every single fighter has his advantages. Таму, I think all of these fights are 50-50.”
Emeev (13-3-0, М-1: 7-1-0), the 2015 M-1 Global Fighter of the Year, is a two-time M-1 Challenge middleweight champion. Born in Azerbaijan but fighting and training out of Markaxhkala, Расія, Emeev originally captured the vacant M-1 Challenge middleweight crown in 2012 на M-1 Challenge 35, winning a decision over Марыё Міранда. Emeev successfully defended his title in a rematch five months later with Miranda, who was stopped via strikes in the third round at M-1 Challenge 38.
In his next title defense, Emeev lost his title belt at M-1 Challenge 51 as Vasilevsky won by fourth-round stoppage via punches. Сем месяцаў праз ў матчы-рэваншы, Emeev defeated Vasilevsky by first round submission (ўдушэнне), and the champion defended his title this past December at M-1 Challenge 63, when American challenger Fioravanti Luigi was unable to continue fighting after two rounds.
Falcao may be making his M-1 Global debut at M-1 Challenge 65, аднак, the Brazilian black belt holder is a veteran of 43 professional MMA bouts with 23 накаўты. The 34-year old Falcao split two fights with Vasilevsky and he was stopped by Shlemenko in the second round at Bellator 69.

West Coast Fighting in Sacramento this Saturday
SACRAMENTO, Халіф. - У гэтую суботу mixed martial arts fans will pour into the McClellan Conference Center in Sacramento for West Coast Fighting Championship 16.
The 13-bout card features a main event that’s been dubbed “King of Sacramento” pitting local favorites Max Griffin and David Mitchell.
“It wasn’t easy, but we were able to put it together,” West Coast Fighting Championship matchmaker Jeremy Luchau said. “There was a lot that had to be negotiated between Max and David, but ultimately I feel like both guys were able to concede in some areas to make the fight happen.”
The showdown will take place at a catch weight of 175 pounds and although a non-title affair will be contested with a possible five rounds.
Griffin (11-2) is the current West Coast Fighting 170-pound champ and former Tachi Palace Fights welterweight kingpin. Тым часам, Мітчэл (19-5) has held titles for the promotion at middleweight and heavyweight.
“I’m not sure there’s been a more significant fight booked in that region in a long time,” said Luchau, who has served as the West Coast Fighting matchmaker since early 2015. “I really believe that with a victory, one of these guys should get the call.”
У са-галоўную падзею, an equally impressive tilt takes place pitting Sacramento’s Josh Emmett against Sothern California’s Christos Giagos.
“Emmett has been the man in the region for a long, доўгі час,” Luchau said of the 8-0 Team Alpha Male product. “He has pretty much run the course of competition in the region, defeated all comers and is now looking to make that jump to the next level.”
He will have to do so against the well-versed Giagos (11-4), who held titles at both Tachi Palace Fights and Resurrection Fighting Alliance, before being cut from the Ultimate Fighting Championship after going 1-2.
“Giagos is a game opponent and was just the what the Emmett camp was looking for to give them that boost to the next level,” Luchau said. “It’s another fight where I feel like the UFC could be the next step for either guy.”
A pair of local heavyweights will vie for the newly vacant strap, as Josh Appelt (11-5) takes on Roy Boughton (12-6).
A pair of UFC vets will also be featured on the undercard, as Turlock welterweight and UFC vet Lewis Gonzalez (10-2) fights Ty Freeman (9-4) і бесстаронні, UFC vet Scott Smith (18-10) clashes with Bellator vet Baesman (17-8).
