The 30-year-old Landwehr (11-2-0, M-1: 3-0-0), fighting out of the Nashville suburb of Clarksville, Tenesio, captured the coveted M-1 Challenge featherweight title belt this past June at M-1 Defio 95 in Nazran, Inguŝio, Rusio.

Dalgiev was making his first title defense, after he shocked the MMA world by knocking out longtime M-1 champion Ivan Buchinger en la komenca rondo.

“La trajno” keeps rollin’

In two other M-1 fights that set-up his title shot, Landwehr won a split decision over Viktor Kolesnik #?E M-1 Defio 85, preceded by a third-round stoppage of Miĥail Korobkovvia punches at M-1 Defio 83.

“Make no mistake,” 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 Funtoj. 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. Sed, nun, 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) Batalo.

Fighting out of Ukraine, Lezhnev (18-7-0, M-1; 6-3-0) earned this title shot by winning nine of his last 10 Bataloj, including the last three in a row. His victims include another U.S., Lee “American Bulldog” Morrison, who lost a unanimous decision to Lezhnev at M-1 Defio 69 Je 2016.

“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.”

#?Iuj bataloj kaj batalantoj estas submetataj #?an?i. Additional M-1-Defia Batalo en Atyraufights will soon be announced.
