SAINT PETERSBURG, Russia (Novemba 28, 2018) — M-1 Challenge featherweight bingwa Nate “Treni” Landwehr will make his first title defense December 15, headlining M-1 Global’s final event of the yearM-1 Challenge Battle in Atyrauversus challenger Andrey “Chuma” Lezhnev, in Atyrau, Kazakhstan.

M-1 Challenge 97 will also be is Inapatikana kwenyewww.FITE.TV(kadi ya awali ni bure, $7.99 kwa kadi kuu).
This will mark the first M-1 Global show in Kazakhstan in three years, tangu M-1 Challenge 59: Battle of the Nomads 5 katika Astana, in which Russian star Sergei Kharitonov knocked out American Kenny Garner katika raundi ya kwanza.
The 30-year-old Landwehr (11-2-0, M-1: 3-0-0), fighting out of the Nashville suburb of Clarksville, Tennessee, captured the coveted M-1 Challenge featherweight title belt this past June at M-1 Challenge 95 in Nazran, Ingushetia, Russia. The entertaining American fighter stopped defending champion Khamzat Dalgiev Kwenye viboko katika mzunguko wa pili. Dalgiev was making his first title defense, after he shocked the MMA world by knocking out longtime M-1 champion Ivan Buchinger katika ufunguzi pande zote.
“Treni” keeps rollin
In two other M-1 fights that set-up his title shot, Landwehr won a split decision over Viktor Kolesnik katika M-1 Challenge 85, preceded by a third-round stoppage of Mikhail Korobkovkupitia kukwepa makonde katika M-1 Challenge 83.
“Matokeo hakuna kosa,” Lanwehr said, “I want to put an ass whooping on everyone in the division. Lezhnev is just the next in line. Don’t think of me as just the champion, think of me as the baddest S.O.B that can make 145 paundi. I will be coming at him as if I am still a hungry challenger trying to make a statement to become a champion.
I would love to have a tournament with all the contenders. We’d all fight multiple times on one night against everyone and the last man standing is crowned King. Lakini, kwa sasa, I will fight who M-1 feels is the next contender. If you have a problem with that, then it means you are not as impressive as a fighter as you think. Because I convinced them in two fights that I was the one for the job and I got the job done in my third (M-1) kupambana.
Fighting out of Ukraine, Lezhnev (18-7-0, M-1; 6-3-0) earned this title shot by winning nine of his last 10 mapambano, including the last three in a row. His victims include another U.S., Lee “Kaskazini Bulldog” Morrison, who lost a unanimous decision to Lezhnev at M-1 Challenge 69 katika 2016.
Andrey Lezhnev has earned his title shot against Lanwehr
Landwehr is a typical brawler with nice cardio,” Lezhnev commented. “Everybody who plays by his rules loses. He is also very provocative, he loves creating the hype around him. For a long time, he tried to avoid this fight, challenging guys who passed their prime, because he understood he had no chances against me. But now the time has come to beat that hype out of him.
All mapambano na wapiganaji ni chini ya mabadiliko. Additional M-1 Challenge Battle in Atyraufights will soon be announced.

M-1 CHALLENGE 99 MATOKEO OFFICIAL & PICTURES FROM RUSSIA

Aleksander Doskalchuk decisions Mikael Silander
To retain his M-1 Challenge flyweight title
And still championM-1 Challenge flyweight champion Aleksander Doskalchuk retained his title belt
NAZRAN, Ingushetia, Russia (Novemba 17, 2018) – The first and only M-1 Challenge flyweight champion, Aleksander Doskalchuk, made his second successful title defense last night in the M-1 Challenge 99, tukio kuu, when he decisioned his Finnish challenger, Mikael “Hulk” Silander, at Nazran in the Republic of Ingushetia in Russia.
Doskalchuk (10-1-0), kupambana na nje ya Ukraine, made his first title defense against then-Interim M-1 Challenge titlist Arman Ashimov, who Doskalchuk defeated this past June at M-1 Challenge 92, when his opponent suffered a hand injury and was unable to continue in the third round.
Aleksander Doskalchuk (L) outworked challenger Mikael Silander to earn a unanimous decision win
Silander (18-7-0), who had his second title shot last night versus Doskalchuk, lost in an Interim title fight against Ashimov last February at M-1 Challenge 87, in which the Finnish fighter was stopped on punches in the second round.
Doskalchuk improved to 4-0-0 in M-1 Global competition with his five-round unanimous decision victory over Silander
Katika ushirikiano featured tukio, Heavyweight Brazil Klidson Farias de Abreau (14-2-0) turned in an impressive M-1 debut, using a straight armbar to force his Russian foe, AntonCherepovets GiantVyazigin (11-3-0), into submission in the second round. Abreau usually fights in the light heavyweight division, but he took on heavyweight Vyazigin, who was coming off a no-contest fight against living legend Sergey Kharitonov.
Russian featherweight prospect Abubkar Mestoev naendelea rekodi yake undefeated intact, improving to 7-0-0 with his unanimous decision triumph against Elias AlvesJunior MaranhaoDa Silva (21-8-0). Mestoev had been fighting in the lightweight division, but moved down because he felt his lack of height was a advantage, yet he was considerably shorter in this fight with Da Silva.
In the Fight of the Night, Akexander Osetrov (5-0-1) won a three-round majority decision overSalem Evloev (4-1-0), who is the brother of M-1 Challenge bantamweight champion Movsar Evloev, who is rumored to be signing with the UFC. Salem was being touted as a successor to his brother in the not too distant future, but his first loss will certainly curtail his rise as a contender, and Osetrov has positioned himself for a future title shot.
Pia mapigano kwenye kadi kuu, Brazil lightweight Michel “Sassarito” Silva (21-7-1) employed a rarely used brabo choke to defeat previously undefeated Magomedkamil Malikov(6-1-0) katika wawili duru. 6′ 2″ Silva has a distinct advantage as the tallest M-1 fighter in the lightweight division.
On undercard, Ukrainian middleweight Vadim Shabadash (8-3-0) locked in a rear naked choke on Russian Musa Pliev (2-1-0) for an opening round win, Kyrgyzstan featherweightBusurmankul Abdibait Uulu (11-2-1) took a three-round majority decision from RussianZalimbeg Omarov (10-3-1), and Spanish featherweight Aridane Romero (8-1-0) was victorious over Russian Ahmadkhan Bokov (4-4-0) by way of a second-round submission via a triangle choke.
Georgian welterweight Amiran Gogoladze (7-1-0) only needed 10-seconds to knock out Supu ya Valamaa (15-6-0) with a powerful punch. It was the shortest fight of the night as well as one of the quickest knockouts in M-1 history. Urusi middleweight Vladimir Trusov (3-1-0) defeated Russian Aslan Ismailov (2-1-0), by way of technical knockout in the third round, via submission to punches.
On the pre-undercard, Urusi featherweight Gleb Khabibullin (3-0-0) stopped Russian Amir Badiev (2-1-0) with a devastating punch in the first round, and veteran Russian lightweightLom-Ali Nalgiev (15-7-0) decisioned Tursunbek Asylgaziev (10-7-0).

Matt Probin (3-0) made his long-awaited NEF debut against Lionel Young (7-16). Probin remained undefeated in his professional career when he forced a referee stoppage to strikes early in the second round.

In the opening fight of the evening, Taylor Thompson (3-0) na Catie Denning (1-1) waged an absolute war that had the entire crowd on its feet to kick off the amateur card. Thompson won a unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards.

As advertised, these two warriors (Gazani and Petje) went toe-to-toe in a very entertaining Main Event that had no shortage of crowd-pleasing highlights and thrilling moments. Gazani came forward and pressed the action for most of the night, using his solid boxing skills to his advantage. Petje was able to counter with high knees and vicious body kicks that ultimately led to the majority decision victory. It looked as if Gazani had knocked Petje down in the fifth round but it was ultimately ruled as a slip.

 

 

 

The night’s Co-Main Event, was another war that featured two MMA Heavyweights standing and striking for three straight rounds. Tony “Hulk” Johnson (12-4-1) kushindwa D.J. “Da ProtégéLinderman (21-15-0) na uamuzi wa pamoja (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) in what was an absolute slugfest.

Kevin “Thunderstorm” Johnson (6-1-0) went the distance with Isaac Luna (3-1-0) in their Super Lightweight Boxing bout. Keys won by unanimous decision (59-55, 58-56, 59-55) in an exciting fight where Luna kept coming forward and forcing Johnson to engage all night long.

In a Kickboxing Catchweight matchup, Meletis “Ndoto” Kakoubavas (33-7-0) caught JermaineJ.J.” Kichaka (24-7-0) with a high right kick to the side of Soto’s head at the fifty-two second mark of round two of their three round fight.

The night began with Heavyweight Zac Cavender (1-0-0) winning his professional MMA debut with a first round TKO victory over Marius Cantoneru (0-2-0). Cavender’s ground and pound worked to perfection as a series of fists to the side of Cantoneru’s head caused the stoppage at the 2:30 alama ya pande zote.
