Juli 21 i Ingusjetia, Russland

Nate Landwehr (på toppen) pounded Mikhail Korobkov in his M-1 Global debut last September

SAINT PETERSBURG, Russland (Juni 19, 2018) — M-1 Global has announced that M-en utfordring 95: Battle in the Mountains will feature a pair of title fights on July 21 i Ingusjetia, Russland.

M-en utfordring 95 will be live-streamed from Ingushetia in high definition on www.M1Global.TV. Seerne vil kunne se de foreløpige kamper og hovedkortet ved å logge deg på for å registrere seg på www.M1Global.TV. Fans may watch all the action on their computers, så vel som på Android og Apple smarttelefoner og nettbrett. M-en utfordring 95 will also be available on www.FITE.TV(preliminary card is free, $7.99 for the main card)

American fighter Nate “The Train” Landwehr (10-2-0, M-1: 2-0-0)), fighting out of Clarksville, Tennessee, challenges M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Khamzat Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0), while M-1 Challenge featherweight title-holder Movsar Evloev (9-0-0, M-1: 9-0-0) makes his second title defense versus Rafael Dias (15-5-0, M-1: 1-1-0).

Landwehr broke into M-1 Global last year and from the beginning he has become one of the most popular fighters of the promotion. “The Train” fights a not-a-step-back style and starts trading punches with the opponents from the first seconds of the fight. All his fights are spectacular and no matter how the fight goes, he is always ready to find a moment to knock out opponent.

Landwehr stopped Mikhail Korobkov via punches in the second round at M-en utfordring 83 at September. He followed up that impressive M-1 Global performance with a win by decision last November over Viktor Kolesnik ved M-en utfordring 85.

Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0), of Ingushetia, is champion for several good reasons. He is riding a 10-fight win streak, including six consecutive finishes. Last November, he took full advantage of his first title shot, shocking the MMA world with a sensational knock out of defending M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Ivan Buchinger in the opening round at M-en utfordring 86. Dalgiev has five submissions and three knockouts on his pro record, including five first-round finishes.

Evloev (9-0-0, M-1: 9-0-0), who will be fighting at home in Ingushetia, is one of the most dominant M-1 Global champions. A cardio machine who has been unstoppable, he is an extremely well-rounded fighter. Evloev is always ready for everything that may happen in The Rage, capable of finishing his opponent early, or torturing him for 25 minutter.

Dias (15-5-0, M-1 1-1-0) prefers to take his time to win by decision, but fans may also remember his stunning victory in his second fight in M-1 Global, locking in a great choke to submit Vadim Malygin ved M-en utfordring 90.

Andre kamper vil snart bli annonsert. Alle kamper og jagerfly er gjenstand for endring.

American Nate “The Train” Landwehr keeps rollin’ Takes on M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Khamzat Dalgiev at M-1 Challenge 91

Mars 20, 2018 FNU47 Legg igjen en kommentar

April 21, in Saint Petersburg at M-1 Arena

Nate “The Train” Landwehr is a showman

SAINT PETERSBURG, Russland (Mars 19, 2018) – American mixed-martial-arts star Nate “The Train” Landwehr will compete for his first M-1 Global title, when he takes on red-hot M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Khamzat Dalgiev, i M-en utfordring 91 main event at the new M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburg, Russland.

M-en utfordring 91 will be live-streamed from Russia in high definition on www.M1Global.TV. Seerne vil kunne se de foreløpige kamper og hovedkortet ved å logge deg på for å registrere seg på www.M1Global.TV. Fans may watch all the action on their computers, så vel som på Android og Apple smarttelefoner og nettbrett. M-en utfordring 90 er available onwww.FITE.TV(preliminary card is free, $7.99 for the main card).

The 29-year-old Landwehr (10-2-0, M-1: 2-0-0), who fights out of Clarksville, Tennessee, made his M-1 Global debut last September at M-en utfordring 83, da han stoppet Mikhail Korobkov on punches in the second round. Landwehr’s last fight was this past November at M-en utfordring 85, at which he won a split decision over Viktor Kolesnik.

Since his first fight in Russia, Landwehr has developed into one of M-1 Global’s most popular fighters, largely due to his fan-friendly fighting style, as well as his showmanship. He made his own promo video, talks trash at press conferences, and broke out into an “ass whooping” song after his fight.

“The Train” never takes a step backwards, trading punches with his opponent from the opening bell, which often results in spectacular fights for MMA fans.

Landwehr (ovenfor) is an all-around fighter who can ground or pound

Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0), av Russland, har vunnet 10 fights in a row since he lost his pro debut in 2014. Last November at M-en utfordring 86, Dalgiev turned in a shocking performance, knocking out longtime M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Ivan Buchinger in the opening round with a thunderous punch that made him an instant star.

Able to defeat his opponent in a variety of ways, Dalgiev has won five fights by submission with three knockouts, including five opening-round stoppages. If rising to the occasion is his forte, Dalgiev should be sky high to fight Landwehr in one of the most anticipated M-1 Global showdowns in years.

Dalgiev (ovenfor) put Buchinger to sleep in the first round to capture the coveted M-1 Challenge featherweight title (under)

All fighters and fights are subject to change. Additional main and full preliminary card bouts will soon be announced.
