SAINT-PÉTERSBOURG, Russie (Avril 27, 2018) - Eternal confrontation: experience vs. youth will continue June 1st at M-1 Défi 93 à Chelyabinsk, Russie.
Invaincu champion poids moyen Défi M-1 Artem Frolov (10-0-0, M-1: 7-0-0), who was mentioned by Fighters Only Magazine among the 20 top MMA prospects for 2018, will defend his title for the first time against American favorite Joe "Diesel" Riggs (47-17-1, M-1: 2-0-1). Frolov is known as a well-rounded fighter who has defeated all ten of his opponents, four of which he knocked out, and the other four submitted. Octobre dernier, Frolov captured the belt by defeating UFC veteran Caio Magalhaes, du Brésil, par décision unanime, but he needed a break to heal his injuries.
At the same event, Riggs got his second victory in M-1 Global competition, extending his winning streak to six fights, all ended by TKO. Another impressive victory earned “Diesel” his title-shot and he is ready to add another championship belt to his collection. Since the champ (Frolov) could not fight and Riggs wanted to stay active, he took another fight against Ukrainian wrestler Borys Polezhai (18-6-0), qui s'est terminé par un match nul. “Diesel” was clearly not satisfied with that result, but his impressive unbeaten streak helped him get the June 1st title shot. Riggs, bien sûr, will bring do his best to become world champion once again.
Will Riggs get his 48th career victory and bring another title back home to Arizona or will it be an easy job for the young Frolov?
