Bruno Silva vs Alexander Shlemenko - M-1 Challenge 93
Former M-1 Middleweight champion Bruno Silva (21-6) has looked good since joining the UFC, winning two straight by finish. He’s a violent man. Silva will face off with Jordan Wright (12-1) this Saturday (Dec. 11) at UFC 269.
Ivan Buchinger vs Mikhail Korobkov - M-1 Challenge 67
It’s a shame that so many MMA fans only know Ivan Buchinger (31-4) as the last dude to get sparked by Conor McGregor before he got to the UFC. He’s a really good featherweight. I’m talking top 10/15 quality if he could get the competition. The former Cage Warriors lightweight champion will defend his M-1 featherweight champion in the co-main event of M-1 Challenge 73 this Friday (Dec. 9th). His opponent will be upstart featherweight prospect Magomed Idrisov (6-0).
Alexander Shlemenko vs. Vyacheslav Vasilevsky 1 - M-1 Challenge 64
The fight Falcao didn’t let happen in Bellator finally took place at M-1 Challenge 64. Former Bellator Middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko (52-9), with a clear “F*uck You” to the California Athletic Commission, jumped ship to Russia after being caught with on the roids. Shlemenko fought former Bellator veteran and former M-1 middleweight and light heavyweight champion Vyacheslav Vasilevsky (28-4) in a great fight that could have gone either way.
Now, with current M-1 middleweight champion Ramazan Emeev, the two are scheduled to go again in the main event of M-1 Challenge 68 this Thursday (June 16).
Alexander Volkov vs. Denis Smoldarev - M-1 Challenge 64
Under Coker, Bellator seemed to put a quick end to the Russian experiment. Not even former Bellator heavyweight champion Alexander Volkov (25-6) was spared from the pink slip. So Volkov returned to the place where he cut his teeth breaking into MMA, M-1 Global. And in his very first fight back, Volkov managed to capture the recently vacated M-1 Heavyweight Title.
Now Volkov is set to defend his title against another former Bellator champion: Former Bellator light heavyweight champion Attila Vegh (29-6-2) in the co-main event of M-1 Challenge 68 this Thursday (June 16th).
So on next week’s M-1 Challenge 68 card a former Bellator middleweight champion (Alexander Shlemenko) will face a former Bellator middlewieght tournament semi-finalist (Vyacheslav Vasilevsky) in the main event while the former Bellator heavyweight champion (M-1 HW champ: Alexander Volkov) faces off with the former Bellator light heavyweight champion (Attila Vegh).
Also Tony Christodoulou is there too.
Also Vitaly Minakov is fighting in Fight Nights.
If we could pry Cole Konrad away being a commodities broker, we could get all three former Bellator heavyweight champions in action the same week.
Free Friday afternoon MMA ladies and gentlemen. Tune in, at least for the top two fights.
Stephan Putz vs. Viktor Nemkov 1 - M-1 Challenge 46
M-1 Challenge 66 is going down this Friday (May 27th) and both Putz and Nemkov will be on the card.
German Light Heavyweight Stephan Putz (13-2) is looking to rebound after dropping the M-1 Light Heavyweight title. He will face Andrey Seledtsov (5-1).
M-1 Light Heavyweight Champion Viktor Nemkov (23-5) will defend his title at M-1 Challenge 66 when he faces Rashid Yusupov (6-2).
M-1 Challenge 65 starting in less than 30 minutes. Solid card. Definitely worth tuning into. And it's FREE.
