Bogatov (8-0, M-1: 7-0), fighting out of Russia, is a grappling master who literally put to sleep three of his last four victims. Bogatov, who has a superior ground attack, captured the coveted M-1 Challenge title last September atM 1 sib tw 97, when he won a five-round decision overRubenilton Pereira.  In his first title defense this past January, Bogatov used an arm triangle choke to submit another Brazilian challengerMichel Silva.

Lebout (19-9-2, M-1: 3-1) is a dangerous challenger from France, who has won three of four M-1 Global fights to date. An all-around fighter, Lebout can adjust to his opponent, whether he needs to use his striking, grappling and tactical skills to win.

Former M-1 Challenge title challengerAndrey “Iron” Lezhnev (18-8, M-1: 6-4) brings his invaluable experience into The Rage to face popularBusurmankul Abdibait Uulu (11-2-1, 3-0-1) in the co-featured event.

Lezhnev, of Ukraine, has won eight of his last 10 fights, knocked down M-1 Challenge featherweight championNate Landwehr, albeit in a losing effort, in his most recent action. Abdibait Uulu, the pride of Kyrgyzstan, has defeated three tough opponents in a row to set the stage for his biggest test in Lezhnev.

Brazilian flyweightFlavio “Madruga” de Silva Santos (9-3, M-1: 0-0) makes his M-1 Global debut againstArman Ashimov (10-3-1), of Kazakhstan. Santos is the latest in a wave of Brazilian fighters who’ve found a home in M-1 Global.

Brazilian National Champion and BJJ black beltJean “Panqueka” Petrick (10-3-1, M-1: 2-0) throws-down withBoris “Bora” Polejay (18-6-1, M-1: 2-1-0), of Ukraine. The winner of this bout will likely position himself for a title shot.

Opening the main card is a bantamweight showdown betweenVazha Tsiptauri, Georgian National MMA and kickboxing champion, and Russian prospect Selem Evloev.

American bantamweight“Gorgeous” George Garcia (9-3, M-1: 1-0) took his M-1 Global debut fight on short notice, yet he used his grappling acumen to defeatYuriy Chobuka, by way of a rear naked choke, only 20-seconds into the opening round of their fight last March atM 1 sib tw 101.  The California grappler, who is riding a six-fight win streak, returns on the undercard against notorious finisherBair Shtepin, of Russia.

Also fighting on the undercard is French featherweightAnthony “La Masse” Dizy (12-3, M-1: 1-0) vs. RussianZalimbek Omarov (10-3-1, M-1: 7-2-1), Russian welterweightMikhail “Bulldozer” Doroshenko (3-0, M-1: 0-0) vs. AzerbaijanBayram Mamedov (0-1 (M-1: 0-0), and a battle between Russian strawweghtsZarina Gumerova (1-1-1, M-1: 0-0) vs.Asiya Klyutova (1-1, M-1: 1-0) in a rare female M-1 Global fight.

M-1 Challenge flyweight champion

Aleksander Doskalchuk is now the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion

 

SAINT PETERSBURG, Zog ntawm Guj kuj (Tej zaum 25, 2018) – Last night’s SuperFight between Russian heavyweight star Sergei Kharitonov and his main event challenger, Anton Vyazigin, was declared ano contest” thiab Aleksander Doskalchuk established himself as the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion last night at M 1 sib tw 92 at M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, Zog ntawm Guj kuj.

 

 

 

Kharitonov (27-6-0) originally was declared the winner by way of a second-round technical decision over his Russian opponent, Vyazigin (9-2-0), due to an illegal eye poke that prevented Kharitonov from continuing to fight.

 

 

 

The result was later changed to ano contestafter the commission, assembled by M-1 Global president Vadim Finkelchtein, reviewed the fight video and made the decision to change the result. A rematch will be scheduled for one of the next events, likely M 1 sib tw 95: Battle in the Mountains, which will happen in July in Ingushetia, Zog ntawm Guj kuj.

 

 

 

A ‘no contestwas the only possible decision in this situation,” Finkelchtein explained the change. “It was an accident and yesterday the judges made the decision according to the rules, giving the victory to Kharitonov, based on the scorecards. But this fight was an exception.

 

 

 

Changing the result to ‘no contestis the best choice,” Kharitonov agreed. “This was not the victory I wanted. I was sure the fight would be ruled as no contest, so I was surprised when the referee raised my hand. Anton did not want to poke me, so I think the decision now is fair. In the hospital I was told I’ve got an eye contusion and corneal abrasion. I hope to recover fast and get a rematch.

 

 

 

Sergei Kharitonov (R) didn’t agree with the original decision declaring him the winner.

 

 

 

I think ‘no contestis a fair result,” Vyazigin added. “I was sure that after that poke, Sergei would take a break, and then we will go on. But the fight was stopped and he was declared the winner. Talking about corneal abrasion, I have no idea how it could happen. I always cut my nails before fights and the referee checks that, so that is weird. Of course, I want a rematch, our story has not ended.

 

 

 

Doskalchuk (9-1-0), fighting out of Ukraine, entered The Rage as the M-1 Challenge flyweight champion to take on M-1 Challenge Interim flyweight titlist Arman Ashimov (8-3-1), of Kazakhstan. Ashimov was unable to continue after two rounds due to a hand injury.

One on one with M-1 Challenge Interim Flyweight Champion Arman Ashimov

Aleksander Doskalchuk vs. Ashimov this Thursday at M-1 Challenge 92 nyob rau hauv Saint Petersburg, Zog ntawm Guj kuj

SAINT PETERSBURG, Zog ntawm Guj kuj (Tej zaum 22, 2018) – M-1 Challenge Interim flyweight champion Arman Ashimov takes on M-1 Challenge flyweight title-holder Aleksander Doskalchuk(8-1-0, M-1: 2-0-0) this Thursday (Tej zaum 24) to determine theundisputedking of the M-1 Global flyweights, in the M 1 sib tw 92 co-featured event, at M-1 Arena in St. Petersburg, Zog ntawm Guj kuj.

 

 

 

Ashimov (8-2-1, M-1: 3-0-0), who captured his Interim crown at M 1 sib tw 87 last February,

Stopping Mikael Silander in round two voa punches, answered a series of M-1 Global questions:

 

Arman, how did the M-1 Challenge interim flyweight title change your life?

 

 

 

AA: “I was extremely happy to become the champion, but I would not say I felt such a big difference. Kazakhs knew me well even before I won the title, but after I won the belt, media started to pay more attention to me. It’s hard to say whether I won more fans because I had so many of them in Kazakhstan, but I hope that now in other countries there are more people who love the way I fight. People often recognize me on the streets of Kazakhstan, support me, ask for selfies. But I don’t feel like a star. I’m just a simple guy. Such attention does not bother me, because all Kazakhs are my relatives, how can I deny a selfie?

 

What is the secret of your knockout punch? Was it your goal to train such a hard punch?

 

 

 

AA: “It’s the will of Allah. We did not change the training plan, have been training striking and grappling as always. I am ready to go the full five round distance, if needed. I am strong enough for the 25-minute fight and this is exactly what I always have in mind. We consider an opportunity to go somewhere for training camp, but now I need to fulfil the target, and win the undisputed title.

 

Not many people know about it, but you are a great grappler. Can you tell us about your grappling experience?

 

 

 

AA: “Indeed, I don’t talk much about it, but I have some experience in grappling as well. The thing is that in The Rage, I don’t like grappling, I prefer a stand-up fight. If my opponent wants to check my skills, I will demonstrate them. I am a combat jiu-jitsu master of sports of international class for a reason, after all.

 

What can you say about your opponent Aleksander Doskalchuk?

 

 

 

AA: “Aleksander Doskalchuk is a very experienced all-around fighter. His fighting style is like that of one of my previous opponents, Mikael Silander. He is good both at striking and grappling. I don’t know what game plan he is going to choose, but we will find it out very soon.

 

Undoubtedly all of Kazakhstan will watch the broadcast, but will some fans of yours come to Saint Petersburg for the fight?

 

 

 

AA: “Many fans will come here from Kazakhstan, beside them will be a lot of Kazakhs living in Saint Petersburg, who will come to root for me. Even the Assembly of Kazakhs is going to support me. all this gives me an extra motivation!”

Doskalchuk vs. Arman Ashimov this Thursday at M-1 Challenge 92 nyob rau hauv
Saint Petersburg, Zog ntawm Guj kuj

 

SAINT PETERSBURG, Zog ntawm Guj kuj (Tej zaum 21, 2018) – Tus “undisputedM-1 Challenge flyweight title bout will be on the line this Thursday (Tej zaum 24), when M-1 Challenge flyweight champion Aleksander Doskalchuk (pictured above) and Interim titlist Arman Ashimov square off in the M 1 sib tw 92 co-featured event, at M-1 Arena in St. Petersburg, Zog ntawm Guj kuj.

 

 

 

Doskalchuk (8-1-0, M-1: 2-0-0), fighting out of Ukraine, won his title belt last September atM 1 sib tw 83, when he used a Guillotine Choke to submit Vadim Malygin in the second round. Undefeated in M-1 competition, Doskalchuk won a majority decision in his M-1 debut last May, over Binh Son Le tom M 1 sib tw 78.

 

 

 

Ashimov (8-2-1, M-1: 3-0-0) earned his Interim title shot this past February by stopping Gadzhimurad Aliev thiab Ervani Melonio with punches, respectively, in the second and first rounds. At M 1 sib tw 87, the powerfully striking Kazakh punched out Mikael Silander in two rounds to capture the M-1 Challenge Interim Flyweight Championship.

 

 

Doskalchuk (pictured above) sat down on the hot seat to participate in an exclusive one-on-one conversation:

 

 

 

It’s been seven months since you won the title. Why did you have to take such a long break?

 

 

 

AD: “I had to take time to heal all my injuries. There were problems with my ankle, so I could not train and fight for a few months. Soon, we’ll see how this break will affect my performance. All my injuries are in the past and I am ready to win the upcoming fight and become the undisputed M-1 Challenge flyweight champion.

 

What did you feel when you were told an interim title was to be introduced?

 

 

 

AD: “I felt nothing. The interim title does not mean anything to me and I have concentrated only on one thing: winning my fights. It is known that Ashimov is a very fast fighter and has power in his hands. I can’t say anything about his endurance, because it all depends on the way the fight goes. We’ll see how good his endurance is very soon into our fight.

 

How do you think your fight will go? Are you going to use your advantage in grappling?

 

 

 

AD: “I am ready for a five-round battle and, of course, I will be looking for an opportunity to finish my opponent at all times. I would not say that my tactics will be focused on submissions. Take a look at my fights; I love boxing and in MMA you cannot rely on just one aspect.

 

Your fight against Ashimov was rescheduled from the last weekend’s show in China to May 24th in Saint Petersburg, Zog ntawm Guj kuj. How did it change your training plan?

 

 

 

AS: “I was ready to fight on May 12th, but Arman did not get his visa, so we had to change plans for the new date. Maybe it’s for the best. The flight to Saint Petersburg is easier and faster than to China. By the way, in Saint Petersburg, many more fans will come to root for me. Support is a very important part of the game and I am grateful to all the fans who will root for me at M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, and everybody who will hold their fingers crossed watching the broadcast!”
