Dkp DON KING & BERMANE STIVERNE FILE SUIT AGAINST ALEXANDER POVETKIN & WORLD OF BOXING IN COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT

Plaža Deerfield, FL (Oktobar 4, 2018)—Hall of Fame boxing promoter Don King and heavyweight contender Bermane Stiverne hoped to settle things in the ring in Yekaterinburg, Russia with former Olympic gold medalist Alexander Povetkin on Dec. 17, 2016.

 

 

 

Stiverne never got the opportunity in the WBC heavyweight eliminator that morning, when WBC officials announced Povetkin had tested positive for the illegal substance ostarine and the WBC pulled the sanctioning and the fight was cancelled.

 

 

 

King and Don King Productions and Stiverne will now settle things in court as they have filed suit for $2 million in the Court of Arbitration for Sport against Alexander Povetkin and the World of Boxing.

 

 

 

Don King Productions and the World of Boxing came to an agreement on Nov. 6, 2016 for the WBC sanctioned fight between Stiverne and Povetkin scheduled for Dec. 17, 2016 with the winner facing Deontay Wilder.

 

 

 

Both fighters were to receive purses of $1,424,250 and the winner of the fight would have earned an additional $316,500. It was the second failed drug test by Povetkin in a seven-month period.

 

 

 

Stiverne hopes to return to the ring to fight for the world title again.

 

 

 

“Povetkin and Ryabinsky can’t play by the rules of the WBC and VADA,"Rekao je kralj, “and they denied Bermane the opportunity of a lifetime to become heavyweight champion. All the hard work leading up to the fight and then waking up the morning of the fight in Russia and being told that there wouldn’t be a fight is devastating.”

French lightweight MickaelRagnarLebout (18-9-2) and always tough Russian Alexey “Zadatak” Mahno 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.

 

 

 

In the main card opener, 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.

In The Rage…… ROMAN BOGATOV

Ovog petka
M-1 Challenge 97 u Kazanju, Rusija

SANKT PETERBURG, Rusija (Septembar 26, 2018) — Undefeated Russian rising star Roman Bogatov poprima, Brazilian mixed-martial-arts veteran Rubenilton Pereira (20-5-0, M-1: 4-2-0) this Friday in the M-1 Challenge 97 / Tatfight 7 Main Event, za the vacant M-1 Challenge 97 lightweight title, at Kazan, Rusija.

 

M-1 Challenge 97 će biti live stream iz Rusije u visokoj definiciji na www.M1Global.TV. Gledatelji će moći gledati preliminarne borbe i glavnog karticu prijavom na registrovati na www.M1Global.TV. Fanovi mogu gledati sve akcije na racunaru, kao i na Android i Apple pametne telefone i tablete. M-1 Challenge 97 also will be available on www.FITE.TV (preliminarna kartica je besplatna, $7.99 za glavnu kartu).

 

 

 

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, Rusija, 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.”

In The Rage Rubenilton Pereira

M-1 Challenge 97, Septembar 28 u Kazanju, Rusija

SANKT PETERBURG, Rusija (Septembar 21, 2018) — Brazilian mixed-martial-arts veteran Rubenilton Pereira faces undefeated Russian rising star Roman Bogatov(6-0-0), Septembar 29, za the vacant M-1 Challenge 97 lightweight title, obloge M-1 Challenge: Tatfight in Kazam, Rusija.

 

M-1 Challenge 97 će biti live stream iz Rusije u visokoj definiciji na www.M1Global.TV. Gledatelji će moći gledati preliminarne borbe i glavnog karticu prijavom na registrovati na www.M1Global.TV.

M-1 Challenge 97 will also be is available on www.FITE.TV (preliminarna kartica je besplatna, $7.99 za glavnu kartu).

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

Kruška (20-5-0, M-1: 4-2-0) je osvojio svoju posljednje četiri borbe, including a technical knockout in his last action, also at M-1 Challenge 94 last June, kada 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, naravno, 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. Sada, 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. Ja samo treniram naporno, 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, trust me, 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.”

M-1 Global veterani & bivši prvaci Pričamo o M-1 & UFC Moskva

SANKT PETERBURG, Rusija (Septembar 14, 2018) – M-1 Global veterani i bivši šampioni nedavno su iznijeli svoja razmišljanja i mišljenja o svojim M-1 iskustvima i sutrašnjim (Sedam. 15) UFC Moskva kartica na Olimpijskom stadionu u Moskvi.

Alexei Oleinik, M-1 Global veteran, vs. Mark Hunt na glavnom događaju UFC Moskve:

“M-1 Global je sjajna ruska promocija i zaista sam uživao u vremenu kada sam se borio tamo. Svaka borba za mene je bila još jedan korak u mojoj karijeri. Nismo birali protivnike, imao rangirane borbe, i učestvovao na Grand-Prixu.”

Alexander Volkov, bivši M-1 Challenge šampion u teškoj kategoriji:

“Jedan od najboljih trenutaka koje sam imao u M-1 Global bila je pobjeda našeg tima na M-1 Selectionu. U to vrijeme bila su ekipna takmičenja u M-1 Globalu i nedostaje mi taj format. Još jedan sjajan trenutak bio je kada sam osvojio M-1 Challenge titulu u teškoj kategoriji. Svaka važna borba je veoma za pamćenje.”

“Moje prve M-1 Global borbe bile su u timskim takmičenjima M-1 Selection, što mi je kao mladom borcu pomoglo da započnem karijeru, pronaći svoje mjesto u ovom sportu i shvatiti da pripadam MMA. U to vrijeme to je bila odlična prilika za mlade sportiste da pokažu svoje vještine i pojave se na lokalnim TV stanicama, tako da je M-1 Global bio prvi korak u mojoj profesionalnoj karijeri.”

“UFC ima ogroman uticaj na razvoj ruskog MMA tržišta. Partnerstvo između M-1 Global i UFC-a daje M-1 Globalu mnoge prednosti na lokalnom tržištu i čini ga mnogo privlačnijim za ruske borce. Svi mješoviti borilački umjetnici imaju san da se bore u UFC-u i sada je put jasan. Kao što smo vidjeli mnogo puta, vrhunski borci i šampioni iz M-1 Global takmiče se na najvišem nivou u UFC-u.”

Ramadan Emeev, bivši M-1 Challenge šampion u srednjoj kategoriji, vs. Stefan Sekulić u UFC Moskvi

“Osećam neku odgovornost za ovu borbu jer se borim kod kuće. Mnogi prijatelji i fanovi će doći navijati za mene i ne želim da ih iznevjerim. Želim da napravim odličnu predstavu, pobediti u borbi, i usrećiti sve koji me podržavaju.

“Pošto se svađam kod kuće, Ne moram negdje letjeti i aklimatizirati se. U prethodnim borbama morao sam da letim preko okeana da bih se takmičio. Sada, njihov je red, i sve će biti po mojim pravilima.”

Rustam Khabilov M-1 Global veteran, vs. Kajan Johnson i UFC Moskva

“Velika je odgovornost boriti se kod kuće kada vas publika čeka. Nije bitno da li je M-1 Global ili UFC. Gužve su iste. Mnogi prijatelji i fanovi će biti zabrinuti, i doći će da navijaju za mene, tako da ovu pobedu dugujem njima. Moram da pobedim. Zato sam trenirao tri puta jače za ovu borbu. Sada, Predviđam protivnika. Sve će biti u redu.”

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, jedan od najboljih MMA trenera na svijetu i otac UFC-a i bivši M-1 Global borac Kabib Nurmagomedov

“M-1 Global je istorija ruskog MMA i nije slučajno da su mnogi borci koji su započeli karijeru u M-1 Global veoma uspešni u MMA svetu. M-1 Global je bio fondacija za mješovite borilačke vještine u Rusiji, suočio sa nekim izazovima, učili iz svojih grešaka i nastavili dalje. Većina ruskih boraca koji su sada potpisani za UFC dolazi upravo iz M-1 Global.”

Fighting in UFC dream come true for M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov

 

Sedam. 15 at UFC Moscow vs. C.B. Dollaway

 

 

 

SANKT PETERBURG, Rusija (Septembar 5, 2018) – Fighting in the UFC is a dream come true for undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov (11-0-0, M-1: 8-0-0), who will make his UFC debut September 15, fighting on the UFC Moskva card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.

 

 

 

Frolov recently agreed on short notice (2 weeks) to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against veteran American fighter C.B. “The DobermanDollaway (17-8-0).

 

 

 

Fighting at home in Russia, the 26-year-old Frolov won his M-1 Challenge title belt last October, when he took a unanimous decision from caio Magalhaes na M-1 Challenge 84. This past June at M-1 Challenge 93, Frolov made his first and lone title defense to date against Joe Riggs, who suffered a knee injury that led to a doctor’s stoppage in the second round.

 

 

 

Juče, Frolov sat down for a one-on-one interview:

 

How long have you working on a deal to sign with UFC?

 

 

 

AF: “My manager has been working on signing me with the UFC for a while, but until the last few days, we had no solid agreement. A few days ago, they finally offered me a contract and asked to step in to replace an injured fighter at UFC Moscow.

 

 

 

I thought it over and decided it was a great opportunity to join the UFC, which I did not want to miss. I would not say this contract was a surprise for me, people have been working on it, so I was ready.

 

How does it feel to sign with UFC?

 

 

 

AF: “I’m excited to sign with the best promotion in the world, but I know that my debut fight won’t be easy, I’m stepping in on a short notice just two weeks before the show. I was going to defend my belt in M-1 Global in a couple months, so now I need to cut weight fast. The most difficult thing is not just to cut weight, but afterwards to recover well. In the UFC, IVs are banned and you have to be extremely careful with supplements you take to recover.

What shape are you in for this fight considering only two-week’s notice?

 

 

 

AF: “I was preparing for a fight in M-1 Global, so I’m in good shape. We are going to work on my speed now but first, I have to cut weight. Once in my career I took a fight on a short notice, I had three weeks to prepare and I won that fight by TKO in the second round.

 

What do you know about your opponent, C.B. Dollaway?

 

 

 

AF: “I’ve seen a couple of C.B. Dollaway’s UFC fights, but I have never considered him as my opponent, so did not pay too much attention to him. There are many good fighters in the UFC, so I can’t say that I know a lot about my opponent. We don’t have not enough time to concentrate on him, so we’ll concentrate on me.

 

When do you feel you can challenge the top UFC fighters in your weight class?

 

 

 

AF: “I’m not going to demand huge fights with the top opponents in the UFC. I’ll take my time and be ready to fight any opponent they’ll give me. I need time to get used to new conditions, tune up my preparation, and put in order the whole system and then I will be ready for any challenges.

 

 

 

Everything is in our hands; nothing is impossible. If someone wants something badly, sets a goal and works hard to achieve it, he or she will succeed. I’m just a regular guy who had a dream to fight in the UFC and I made it. Dream big, set goals and achieve them!”

I am very happy for Artem,” M-1 Global predsjednika Vadim Finkelchtein rekao je, “but a little bit nervous because he accepted the fight on such a short notice, only two weeks before the fitht. I’m sure he will demonstrate his high level once again. I said it before that Artem is the second strongest middleweight in Russia, after Alexander Shlemenko, and he deserves this shot. Some may know that Artem was going to fight Bruno Blindado Silva, who defeated Shlemenko, and I’m happy to say that this fight will happen this fall.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old Frolov (11-0-0, M-1: 8-0-0), fighting at home out of Russia, captured his M-1 Challenge title belt last October, when he won a unanimous decision against Caio Magalhaes at M-1 Challenge 84. This past June at M-1 Challenge 93, Frolov made his first title defense versus Joe Riggs, who suffered a knee injury that led to a doctor’s stoppage in the second round.

 

 

 

A solid all-around fighter, Frolov has won 5 fights by stoppage, along with four submission victories and two by decision.

American MMA veteran Dollaway (17-8-0), representing Tempe, Arizona, has been a UFC fighter for the past decade.

Avgust. 25 – M-1 Challenge 96: Mikutsa vs. Ibragimov in Saint Petersburg, Rusija

Russian Heavyweight KO Specialist Apti Davtaev Returns to Action on Sept 5

 

 

Undefeated heavyweight bomber Apti Davtaev will return to the ring in an 10-rounder on Wednesday, Septembar 5 in Grozny, Rusija

 

 

 

6’ 6” Davtaev (15-0-1, 14 KOs) will face 6’ 9” Moscow-based veteran Evgeny “Molecule from Hell” Orlov on a card that features his Salita Promotions stablemates Umar Salamov fighting for the WBO International Light Heavyweight Championship, and super middleweight Aslambek Idigov.

 

 

 

Davtaev (from the Chechen Republic of Kurchaloi) continues working with his US trainers, Kronk Gym’s Javan SugarHill Steward and co-trainer Rick Phillips, and says he’s enjoying his evolution to an American style of fighting.

 

 

 

“I had a great camp at Kronk Gym in Detroit, a place that produced so many great champions. My opponent is an experienced fighter and a big man. I look forward to fulfilling the legacy of the great fighters that trained in Detroit and, with this victory, will continue to climb towards the heavyweight title.”

 

 

 

A fearsome puncher, Davtaev was last seen demolishing Kentucky’s Cory Phelps in two quick rounds.

 

 

 

“At 6’ 6” and 250 lbs., Apti has the size, strength and skills to be a real threat in the heavyweight division,” said his promoter, Dmitrijske riječi. “On September 5, he is going to take another step towards his goal of becoming heavyweight champion.”

Septembar 28 u Kazanju, Rusija

SANKT PETERBURG, Rusija (Avgust 30, 2018) — Undefeated Russian rising star Roman Bogatov (pictured above on top) will take on Brazilian mixed-martial-arts veteran Rubenilton Pereira for the vacant M-1 Challenge 97 lightweight championship in the M-1 Challenge: Tatfight 7 Main Event, Septembar 28

The coveted 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.

 

 

 

Kruška (20-5-0, M-1: 4-2-0) je osvojio svoju posljednje četiri borbe, including a technical knockout in his last action, also at M-1 Challenge 94 last June, kada Oktom Baktybek’s stopped the 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.
