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

Septembar 14, 2018 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

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

Septembar 7, 2018 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

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 Doberman” Dollaway (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!”

M-1 Challenge middleweight champ Artem Frolov steps in to fight C.B. Dollaway, Sedam. 15, at UFC Moscow

Artem Frolov (centar) is the M-1 Challenge middleweight champion

SANKT PETERBURG, Rusija (Septembar 4, 2018) — Undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov will make his UFC debut, stepping in on short notice to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against battle-tested C.B. “The Doberman” Dollaway, Septembar 15 na UFC Moskva card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.

“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.
