Riggs, talaga, will bring do his best to become world champion once again.

The 29-year-old Landwehr (10-2-0, M-1: 2-0-0), who fights out of Clarksville, Tennessee, made his M-1 Global debut last September at M-1 Hamon 83, kapag siya tumigil Mikhail Korobkov on punches in the second round. Landwehr’s last fight was this past November at M-1 Hamon 85, at which he won a split decision over Viktor Kolesnik.
Since his first fight in Russia, Landwehr has developed into one of M-1 Global’s most popular fighters, largely due to his fan-friendly fighting style, as well as his showmanship. He made his own promo video, talks trash at press conferences, and broke out into anass whoopingsong after his fight.
The Trainnever takes a step backwards, trading punches with his opponent from the opening bell, which often results in spectacular fights for MMA fans.
Landwehr (sa itaas) is an all-around fighter who can ground or pound
Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0), ng Russia, nanalo 10 fights in a row since he lost his pro debut in 2014. Last November at M-1 Hamon 86, Dalgiev turned in a shocking performance, knocking out longtime M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Ivan Buchinger in the opening round with a thunderous punch that made him an instant star.
Able to defeat his opponent in a variety of ways, Dalgiev has won five fights by submission with three knockouts, including five opening-round stoppages. If rising to the occasion is his forte, Dalgiev should be sky high to fight Landwehr in one of the most anticipated M-1 Global showdowns in years.
