SAINT PETERSBURG, Rwsia (Awst 1, 2018) -The vacant M-1 Challenge light heavyweight title will be on the line August 25, pan Dimitriy Mikutsa ac Khadis Ibragimov throw-down in the M-1 Her 96 prif ddigwyddiad, in M-1 Arena, at Saint Petersburg, Rwsia.

 

 

 

Mikutsa (9-3-1, M-1: 2-1-0), one of the top fighters in Ukraine, is riding a four-fight win streak, including M-1 Global victories over Kleber Raimundo Silva last February at M-1 Her 87 ac Dmitry Tebekin yn M-1 Her 79, both by way of three-round unanimous decisions. A heavy-handed striker, Mikutsa has knocked out six of his nine victims to date.

 

 

 

One of the most promising prospects in years, undefeated Ibragimov (6-0-0, M-1: 2-0-0) has earned his title shot, primarily by defeating former M-1 Challenge light heavyweight champion Stephan Puetz, using a bulldog choke to submit his German foe in the third round last February at M-1 Her 88. Ibragimov, who will be fighting at home in Saint Petersburg, won his last fight at M-1 Challenge 92, pan Giga Kukhalalashvili was disqualified in the third round for rope grabbing.

 

 

 

 

A potentially explosive co-featured event has also been announced as American featherweight Daniel “Agent Orange” Swain (18-8-1, M-1: 1-0-1) yn cymryd ar Viktor Kolesnik (14-3-1, M-1: 3-1-1), o Rwsia.

 

 

 

Fighting out of Newport, Washington, the entertaining Swain is coming off a sensational victory this past May at M-1 Her 91, when he used a kneebar to submit Musu Nuertiebieke yn y rownd agoriadol.

 

 

 

Kolesnik’s lone loss in his last 10 ymladd, dating back nearly four years, was by split decision at M-1 Her 85 i Nate Landwehr, who is now the newly crowned M-1 Challenge featherweight champion.

 

 

 

Bydd ymladd ychwanegol yn cael eu cyhoeddi cyn bo hir. Mae'r holl ymladd a diffoddwyr yn destun newid.
