Saint Petersburg, Russia (August 7, 2019) – Undefeated M-1 Challenge lightweight championRoman Bogatov defends his title againstMickael “Ragnar” Lebout, headliningM-1 Challenge 104: Battle in the Heart of the Continent, on day, August 30, at Sports Arena Orenburgzhye in Orenburg, Russia.

Bogatov (8-0, M-1: 7-0), ukulwa 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 Challenge 97, when he won a five-round decision overURubenilto 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 popularI-Busirmankul Abdibait Uluulu (11-2-1, 3-0-1) emcimbini obukhona.

Lezhnev, of Ukraine, has won eight of his last 10 ukulwa, 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 againstU-Arman 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 betweenImisebe, Georgian National MMA and kickboxing champion, and Russian prospect Selem Evloev.

I-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 Challenge 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), Welterweight RussianMikhail “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.

Zonke ukulwa kanye fighters angaphansi ushintsho.

M-1 Challenge 97 will also be is Kutholakala ku-www.fite.tv(Ikhadi lokuqala likhululekile, $7.99 ekhadini eliyinhloko).
This will mark the first M-1 Global show in Kazakhstan in three years, kusukela M-1 Challenge 59: Battle of the Nomads 5 e Astana, in which Russian star Sergei Kharitonov washaya waseMelika Kenny Garner e emzuliswaneni wokuqala.
The 30-year-old Landwehr (11-2-0, M-1: 3-0-0), fighting out of the Nashville suburb of Clarksville, Tennessee, captured the coveted M-1 Challenge featherweight title belt this past June at M-1 Challenge 95 in Nazran, Inguetia, Russia. The entertaining American fighter stopped defending champion Khamzat Dalgiev kuma-punches emzuliswaneni wesibili. Dalgiev was making his first title defense, after he shocked the MMA world by knocking out longtime M-1 champion Ivan Buchinger e nxazonke kuvulwa.
“Isitimela” keeps rollin
In two other M-1 fights that set-up his title shot, Landwehr won a split decision over I-Viktor Kalesnik at M-1 Challenge 85, preceded by a third-round stoppage of Mikhail Korobkovnge punches at M-1 Challenge 83.
“Ungalenzi iphutha,” Lanwehr said, “I want to put an ass whooping on everyone in the division. Lezhnev is just the next in line. Don’t think of me as just the champion, think of me as the baddest S.O.B that can make 145 amakhilogremu. I will be coming at him as if I am still a hungry challenger trying to make a statement to become a champion.
I would love to have a tournament with all the contenders. We’d all fight multiple times on one night against everyone and the last man standing is crowned King. Kodwa, okwamanje, I will fight who M-1 feels is the next contender. If you have a problem with that, then it means you are not as impressive as a fighter as you think. Because I convinced them in two fights that I was the one for the job and I got the job done in my third (M-1) fight.
Ukulwa Ngaphandle Kwe-Ukraine, Lezhnev (18-7-0, M-1; 6-3-0) earned this title shot by winning nine of his last 10 ukulwa, including the last three in a row. His victims include another U.S., Lee “American Bulldog” Morrison, who lost a unanimous decision to Lezhnev at M-1 Challenge 69 in 2016.
Andrey Lezhnev has earned his title shot against Lanwehr
Landwehr is a typical brawler with nice cardio,” Lezhnev commented. “Everybody who plays by his rules loses. He is also very provocative, he loves creating the hype around him. For a long time, he tried to avoid this fight, challenging guys who passed their prime, because he understood he had no chances against me. But now the time has come to beat that hype out of him.
Zonke ukulwa kanye fighters angaphansi ushintsho. -Ngaphezulu M-1 Challenge Battle in AtyrauUkulwa kuzomenyezelwa kungekudala.

Nov. 2 at M-1 Challenge 98 waseChelyabinsk, Russia
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saint Petersburg, Russia (October 9, 2018) – The growing mixed-martial-arts rivalry between Russian and Brazilian fighters continues November 2, when undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov throws-down with leading challenger Bruno Blindado Silva, in the M-1 Challenge 98 main event at Chelyabinsk, Russia.

 

M-1 Challenge 98 izosakazwa bukhoma kusuka eRussia encazelweni ephezulu www.M1Global.TV. Ababukeli bazokwazi ukubukela ukulwa zokukwazi kanye ikhadi main ngokungena kwi babhalise www.M1Global.TV. Abalandeli bangabuka sonke isenzo kumakhompyutha abo, kanye Android ne-Apple smart and amaphilisi. M-1 Challenge 97 will also be isavailable on www.fite.tv (Ikhadi lokuqala likhululekile, $7.99 ekhadini eliyinhloko).

 

 

 

The 27-year-old Frolov (11-0-0, M-1: 9-0-0), ukulwa out of Russia, signed a UFC contract and he was scheduled to fight last month at UFC Moscow. He withdrew due to injury and now will make his second M-1 Challenge middleweight title defense against Silva.

 

 

 

Silva (18-6-0, M-1: 1-0-0) became to top contender by knocking out Russian MMA star Alexander Shlemenko (56-11-1, M-1: 6-1-0) in the opening round of M-1 Challenge 93 lokhu June esidlule. The heavy-handed Brazilian fighter has stopped 15 of yakhe 18 defeated opponents to date.

 

 

 

Bruno Silva is a worthy title challenger, who made a big statement earlier this year,” Frolov said. “Ngeshwa, I could not debut in the UFC because of an aggravated old injury, but now everything is fine, and the injury is healed. I’ve been preparing routinely, paying attention to all aspects of the fight and concentrating on my cardio ahead of a five-round bout.

 

 

 

I don’t consider this fight as revenge for Alexander Shlemenko, I just want to fight under the Russian flag and prove that Russia is a top-country in the MMA world. Victory in this fight can become a launching pad for the winner, but you don’t win fights with words. We are going to fight and on November 2nd we’ll see everything in The Rage at M-1 Challenge 98 waseChelyabinsk!”

 

 

 

I am very happy that my third fight in Russia will be in Chelyabinsk again,” Silva countered. “This is a special city for me, twice I won there via knockout and on November 2nd I’m going to knock my opponent out again. It’s not easy to compete in Russia. Long flights, jet lag and cold climate make everything more difficult, but this is the part of the game. I love Russia because this country has changed my life.

 

 

 

Artem Frolov is a strong fighter and great champion. I’m not used to watching my opponentsprevious fights much, but from the videos I have seen, I can say that he has good cardio and wrestling skills. I am ready to become the world champion, which was always a dream of mine and soon this dream can come true. I respect Frolov, but he has something what I need. I hope he is ready for a war because I’m going to take this belt from him. I am a fighter who is always looking for a knockout. Fifteen times I knocked my opponents out and at M-1 Challenge 98 I’m ready to brawl with Artem as much as it takes to become the champion.

 

 

 

Ukulwa engeziwe maduze ezakuphumelela. Zonke ukulwa kanye fighters angaphansi ushintsho.

Pereira was adversely affected by Bogatov’s takedown attack, which opened-up strong punches to Pereira’s head, resulting in a flash knockdown in the third round. Pereira got back in the fight midway through round four, connecting with punches and knees to the body, but the Brazilian needed a strong fifth and final round to win a decision. Bogatov, Nokho, remained aggressive, firing strikes and making take-downs, on his way to a unanimous five-found decision and the coveted M-1 Challenge lightweight title belt.

 

 

 

Esimweni co-iyavela, veteran Spanish middleweight Enoc Kuyasiza Ekuxazululeni Torres (23-10-1) registered a unanimous decision victory against previously undefeated Ruslan Shamilov (4-1-0), of Russia.

I-French lightweight UMikhael “I-Ragnar” Lebout (18-9-2) and always tough Russian Alexey “Isabelo” Makhno battled tooth and nail in a bloody war (see pictures below). Lebout hit Makhno in the face with everything but the proverbial kitchen sink, but the Russian refused to go down and even landed a few solid shots on Lebout, who also has goodwhiskers”. Lebout won an entertaining fight by way of a unanimous three-round decision.

 

 

 

Esivulini sekhadi esikhulu, dangerous striker Pavel Gordeev (12-1-0) edged grappling specialist Alik Albogachiev (5-1-0) by way of a split decision in a showdown between Russian lightweights.

Saint Petersburg, Russia (September 26, 2018) — Undefeated Russian rising star Roman Bogatov liba, Brazilian mixed-martial-arts veteran URubenilto Pereira (20-5-0, M-1: 4-2-0) this Friday in the M-1 Challenge 97 / Tatfight 7 Umcimbi main, ngoba the vacant M-1 Challenge 97 lightweight title, at Kazan, Russia.

M-1 Challenge 97 also will be available on www.fite.tv (Ikhadi lokuqala likhululekile, $7.99 ekhadini eliyinhloko).

 

 

 

The M-1 Challenge lightweight crown is vacant because the last champion, Damir Ismagulov, recently relinquished his title to sign a UFC contract.

 

 

 

Bogatov (6-0-0, M-1: 5-0-0) is a submission master, four of his six pro victories have been by way of choke-outs, because of his dangerous grappling skills and techniques. In his last fight this past June at M-1 Challenge 94, Bogatov earned his title shot by defeating always tough Raul Tutarauli (18-5-0), whose previous fight was a decision loss to Ismagulov in the latter’s final M-1 Challenge title defense.

 

 

 

Bogatov recently entered The Rage to answer a few questions of interest:

 

How was training camp?

RB: “For the fight against Pereira, I’ve trained in Ekaterinburg, Russia, at RMK Academy with famous fighters like Ivan Shtyrkov, Alexey Kunchenko, Mikhail Ragozin, Artur Karavaev and Pavel Gordeev, who was preparing for his fight at the same event, M-1 Challenge 97 / Tatfight 7. In camp, I have focused on my cardio, because this is the foundation of my success and a key to victory. I also had many sparring and wrestling sessions and had CrossFit workouts in the morning.”

 

What advantages do you have over your opponent?

 

 

 

RB: “I have will power, wrestling and grappling skills and I’m ready to constantly push forward and dominate this fight. Pereira is a patient and tough opponent, so it’s not simple to finish him. He is used to long fights, has good cardio, decent striking and wrestling skills and as any Brazilian, he has a solid BJJ game.”

 

How is it preparing for this fight?

 

 

 

RB: “Before fights I am doing my best not to think too much about the upcoming battle. I prefer just to train and spend time with my family and friends. Right before the fight, you start to pump yourself up. When you need to cut weight, you become a bit more aggressive, because that’s not an easy thing to do. At the face-off when you are looking right into the eyes of your opponent, you get a boost of motivation and can’t wait to enter The Rage.”

 

What is your goal?

 

 

 

RB: “My goal is to win the belt, defend it, and be an active and dominant champion. Some of the M-1 Challenge champs have signed contracts with the UFC and I would love to follow their path in the future.”

 

What is your best experience?

 

 

 

RB: “The most pleasant thing in the game is not the victory itself, not even winning the belt. The best thing is the feeling when you come back home, see the smile on your mother’s face, and give hugs to your parents and family. This is the best feeling in the world.”

The M-1 Challenge lightweight crown is vacant because the last champion, Damir Ismagulov, recently relinquished his title to sign a UFC contract.

 

 

 

Pear (20-5-0, M-1: 4-2-0) unqobile wakhe wokugcina ezine ukulwa, including a technical knockout in his last action, also at M-1 Challenge 94 last June, nini Oktom Baktybek ws unable to continue to fight after the opening round. Pereira’s two M-1 Global losses have been to a pair of M-1 Challenge champions, Ismagulov and Alexander Butenko, both by decision.

 

 

 

Pereira recently entered The Rage to answer a few questions of interest:

 

How do you feel about this title shot and not getting a rematch against?

 

 

 

RP: “I’m very thankful for the opportunity to fight for the title. I have been working hard to receive my title shot and, kunjalo, I was hoping to have a rematch with the champ, Damir Ismagulov. I was surprised when they told me Ismagulov left the belt vacant to sign with the UFC. I’m happy for him. He is a great fighter and I know he can become the UFC champion, too”.

 

How do you feel about fighting in M-1 Global?

 

 

 

RP: “I enjoy fighting in M-1 Global and I’d like to stay here for a long time. They’ve treated me really good. Manje, I’m on a four-fight winning streak, but I was not that successful when I first joined the promotion. After two losses in a row I thought they were going to send me home, but they gave me another chance and I seized it.

 

How do you effectively drop nearly 50 pounds from your walk-around weight to fight as a lightweight?

 

 

 

RP: “I have no special secret. I train nje kanzima, three times a day, Sunday to Sunday. Usually, I weigh around 92 kg (203 lbs), but I never miss weight and always make 70 kg (154 lbs) for the weigh-ins. Some think this is a huge advantage for me in the fight but, ngethembe, I suffer much more than anybody to make weight.”

 

What do you know about your next opponent, Roman Bogatov?

 

 

 

“Roman Bogatov is a tough opponent. Maybe he has better wrestling and takedowns, but I’m a much better grappler. I’m self-confident and know that I can tap him out. If he takes me down, that’s better for me. I had a great camp and I’m ready for five rounds, but one of us will fall before round three.”
