The 30-year-old Landwehr (11-2-0, एम-1: 3-0-0), fighting out of the Nashville suburb of Clarksville, टेनेसी, captured the coveted M-1 Challenge featherweight title belt this past June at एम-1 चुनौती 95 in Nazran, इन्गुशेतिया, रुस. The entertaining American fighter stopped defending champion Khamzat Dalgiev on punches in the second round. Dalgiev was making his first title defense, after he shocked the MMA world by knocking out longtime M-1 champion इवान Buchinger पहले दौर में.

“The Train” keeps rollin’

In two other M-1 fights that set-up his title shot, Landwehr won a split decision over विक्टर Kolesnik पर एम-1 चुनौती 85, preceded by a third-round stoppage of मिखाइल Korobkovपर घूंसे के माध्यम से एम-1 चुनौती 83.

“कोई गलती नहीं करना,” 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 पाउंड. 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. किंतु, अभी के लिए, 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 (एम-1) लड.

यूक्रेन से बाहर लड़ाई, Lezhnev (18-7-0, एम-1; 6-3-0) earned this title shot by winning nine of his last 10 झगड़े, including the last three in a row. His victims include another U.S., ली “अमेरिकन बुलडॉग” मॉरिसन, who lost a unanimous decision to Lezhnev at एम-1 चुनौती 69 में 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.”

सभी झगड़े और सेनानियों परिवर्तन के अधीन हैं. अतिरिक्त एम -1 Atyrau में चैलेंज लड़ाईfights will soon be announced.
