ST. PETERSBURG, Rusland (Maj 13, 2015) – Brazilian invader Igor “Chatubinha” Fernandes will battle Russian foe Murad “Jæger” Abdulaev juni 6 for the vacant M-1 Challenge welterweight title, headlining M-1 Challenge 58: Battle in the Mountains 4, på Ingusjetien, Rusland.
Fernandes (18-6-0, 2 KO / TKO, 13 SUB), who has won his last six fights, will be making his M-1 debut against Abdulaev (14-3-1, 5 KO / TKO, 1 SUB), who is unbeaten in two M-1 Challenge fights.
During the past few years, Fernandes has been too dangerous for many fighters to take on, leaving him inactive for the past 26 måneder. The gifted welterweight immediately deserved and received a title shot upon signing with M-1 Global.
Abdulaev has won 11 af hans sidste 12 slagsmål. A dangerous striker with a solid ground game, Abdulaev is coming off an impressive knockout win over Daniel Taber last October at M-1 Challenge 52.
The M-1 Challenge welterweight championship was vacated by Rashid Magomedov who left the promotion.
A pair of potentially explosive featherweight fights have also been announced for M-1 Challenge 58 as American Lee “Amerikanske Bulldog” Morrison ansigter Pavel Vitruk, og Antun Racic opfylder Tural Nizami.
Morrison (13-5-0, 4 KO / TKO, 4 SUB, fighting out of Okanogon Washington, is out to snap his two-fight losing streak to Ragimov (SUB1 – arm-lock) ved M-1 Challenge 49 last June and a five-round decision to defending champion Marat Gufurov for the M-1 Challenge title at M-1 Challenge 47. The physically strong, experienced American fighter is planning a rebound June 6.
Last February at M-1 Challenge 55, Vitruk (12-1-0, 3 KO / TKO, 2 SUB) lost at M-1 Challenge 55 in a battle of unbeaten fighters to Max Coga ved hjælp af en tredje-runde indsendelse (choker). The Ukraine native who lives in St. Petersburg, Russia is a Muay Thai specialist.
Racic (17-5-0, 13 SUB) is a young, Croatian prospect who has won his last four fights in a row. He prefers to use his vast arsenal of submission moves. I sin sidste kamp, Racic defeated Lemmi Krusic (16-4-0), of Slovenia, den sidste oktober.
Ragimov (9-2-0, 4 KO / TKO, 4 SUB) earned a title shot after he defeated Morrison, in which he lost to M-1 Challenge featherweight champion John “Dette er den” Buchinger last October at M-1 Challenge 52. In the Fight of the Night, Ragimov was stopped by punches in the fourth round, after suffering a fractured and displaced finger on his left hand, as well as torn ligaments in his right hand.
