M-1 Veteranët globalë & ish-kampionët Flasim për M-1 & UFC Moskë

Lini një koment

SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusi (Shtator 14, 2018) – Veteranët dhe ish-kampionët e M-1 Global shprehën kohët e fundit mendimet dhe mendimet e tyre në lidhje me përvojat e tyre të M-1 dhe të nesërmen (Shtatë. 15) Karta e UFC Moskës në Stadiumin Olimpik në Moskë.

Aleksei Oleinik, M-1 Veteran global, vs. Mark Hunt në ngjarjen kryesore të UFC Moskës:

“M-1 Global është një promovim i shkëlqyeshëm rus dhe me të vërtetë më ka pëlqyer koha kur kam luftuar atje. Çdo luftë për mua ishte një hap tjetër në karrierën time. Ne nuk kemi zgjedhur kundërshtarë, kishte luftime të vlerësuara, dhe mori pjesë në Grand-Prix.”

Alexander Volkov, Ish M-1 Challenge kampion peshë e rëndë:

“Një nga momentet më të mira që pata në M-1 Global ishte fitorja për ekipin tonë në M-1 Selection. Në atë kohë kishte gara ekipore në M-1 Global dhe më mungon ai format. Një moment tjetër i shkëlqyeshëm ishte kur fitova titullin M-1 Challenge në pesha të rënda. Çdo luftë e rëndësishme është shumë e paharrueshme.”

“Luftimet e mia të para M-1 Global ishin në garat e ekipit Përzgjedhës M-1, gjë që më ndihmoi mua si një luftëtar i ri për të filluar karrierën time, gjej vendin tim në këtë sport dhe kupto që i përkas MMA-së. Në atë kohë ishte një mundësi e shkëlqyer për atletët e rinj për të demonstruar aftësitë e tyre dhe për t'u paraqitur në stacionet lokale televizive, kështu që M-1 Global ishte hapi i parë në karrierën time profesionale.”

“UFC ka një ndikim të madh në zhvillimin e tregut rus MMA. Partneriteti midis M-1 Global dhe UFC i jep M-1 Global shumë përparësi në tregun lokal dhe e bën atë shumë më tërheqës për luftëtarët rusë. Të gjithë artistët e përziera marciale kanë një ëndërr për të luftuar në UFC dhe tani rruga është e qartë. Siç e kemi parë shumë herë, Luftëtarët dhe kampionët kryesorë nga M-1 Global garojnë në nivelin më të lartë në UFC.”

Ramadan Emeev, ish-kampion i peshave të mesme Challenge M-1, vs. Stefan Sekulic në UFC Moskë

“Ndjej një farë përgjegjësie për këtë luftë sepse po luftoj në shtëpi. Shumë miq dhe tifozë do të vijnë për të më mbështetur dhe unë nuk dua t'i heq. Unë dua të bëj një shfaqje të shkëlqyeshme, të fitojë luftën, dhe bëj të lumtur të gjithë ata që po më mbështesin.

“Meqenëse po luftoj në shtëpi, Nuk kam pse të fluturoj diku dhe të ambientohem. Në luftimet e mia të mëparshme më duhej të fluturoja përtej oqeanit për të garuar. Tani, është radha e tyre, dhe gjithçka do të jetë sipas rregullave të mia.”

Rustam Khabilov M-1 Global veteran, vs. Kajan Johnson në UFC Moskë

“Ka një përgjegjësi të madhe duke luftuar në shtëpi kur turma po ju pret. Nuk ka rëndësi nëse është M-1 Global apo UFC. Turmat janë të njëjta. Shumë miq dhe tifozë do të shqetësohen, dhe ata do të vijnë për të më rrënjosur, kështu që ua kam borxh këtë fitore. Unë duhet të fitoj. Kjo është arsyeja pse unë u trajnova tre herë më fort për këtë luftë. Tani, Unë jam duke parashikuar një kundërshtar. Cdo gje do te rregullohet.”

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, një nga trajnerët më të mirë të MMA në botë dhe babai i UFC dhe ish-luftëtarit M-1 Global Kabib Nurmagomedov

“M-1 Global është historia e MMA ruse dhe nuk është rastësi që shumë luftëtarë që filluan karrierën e tyre në M-1 Global janë shumë të suksesshëm në botën MMA. M-1 Global ishte një themel për artet marciale të përziera në Rusi, u përball me disa sfida, mësuan nga gabimet e tyre dhe vazhduan të ecnin përpara. Shumica e luftëtarëve rusë të cilët tani janë nënshkruar me UFC erdhën saktësisht nga M-1 Global.”

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

Lini një koment
 

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

 

 

 

SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusi (Shtator 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 Moskë 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 në 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.

 

 

 

Dje, 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!”

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

SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusi (Shtator 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, Shtator 15 në UFC Moskë card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.

 

 

 

“I am very happy for Artem,” President M-1 Global Vadim Finkelchtein tha, “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.

Fight News Unlimited’s weekly Combat Sports Show is now officially known as Fight Talk Unlimited, and we are now back to a live platform: Spreaker.

 

This week on our debut episode on Spreaker, we discuss a wild week in news, from Floyd Mayweather’s beef with 50-Cent, to Conor McGregor’s slap on the wrist for throwing a hand truck through a bus window, to a Philadelphia area school teacher moonlighting as an offensive German character in his pro-wrestling career. We then recap last week’s major fights, including a vicious KO by Anthony Smith over Shogun Rua at UFC Fight Night 135. We also preview UFC on FOX 30 and Mikey Garcia vs. Robert Easter Jr., along with all the other combat sports action this weekend.
