Buchinger (31-4-0, M-1: 6-0-0), kæmper ud af Slovakiet, is riding a 10-fight win streak into M-1 Challenge 73 since he lost to Conor McGregor i 2012. He captured the vacant M-1 Challenge title October 17, 2014 på M-1 Challenge 52, standsning Tural Nizami (se billedet nedenfor) in the fourth round on punches in their Fight of the Night. Buchinger made a successful title defense 13 months ago at M-1 Challenge 62, taking a 5-round unanimous decision over Mansour Korobkov. I sin sidste kamp, this past June against Mikhail Korobkov på M-1 Challenge 67, Buchinger needed only 4:41 of the opening round to choke his opponent into a submission in their non-title fight.

Idrisov is a strong striker and Russian Whu-Shu Sanda champion. He knockout current M-1 Challenge lightweight champion Alexander Butenko in his professional MMA debut, back in 2013 in a non-M-1 Global fight. His three M-1 Global victories have been against Yuri Maia (KO1 – punches) i M-1 Challenge 49 Knockout of the Night, Max Coga (DEC3) og Sergei Grecicho (DEC3) in his last fight September 20, 2015 på M-1 Challenge 51 (se billedet nedenfor).

Additional M-1 Challenge 73 fights will soon be announced. All fights subject to change.
