ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (May 13, 2015) – Brazilian invader Igor “Chatubinha” Fernandes will battle Russian foe Murad “Hunter” Abdulaev on June 6 for the vacant M-1 Challenge welterweight title, headlining M-1 Challenge 58: Battle in the Mountains 4, at Ingushetia, Russia.
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 izinyanga. The gifted welterweight immediately deserved and received a title shot upon signing with M-1 Global.
Abdulaev has won 11 of wakhe wokugcina 12 ukulwa. 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 “American Bulldog” Morrison ubuso Pavel Vitruk, futhi Antun Racic ihlangana Tural Nizami.

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 by way of a third-round submission (binda). 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. In fight yakhe yokugcina, Racic defeated Lemmi Krusic (16-4-0), of Slovenia, this past October.
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 “Lona” Buchinger last October at M-1 Challenge 52.
