Alexander Shlemenko vs Brandon Halsey rematch will headline M-1 Challenge 79 event, June 1

Alexander Shlemenko (55-9), representing New Stream Team, is one of the most renowned MMA fighters from Russia. He is a former Bellator middleweight champion, who held 30 out of 55 whis via knockout. In September 2014 it took less than 35 seconds for Brandon Halsey to defeat Alexander, but now everything may go different way. Alexander Shlemenko is leading 4 fight winning streak and is in perfect health. He is ready to avenge the loss which cost him title once.
 
Brandon Halsey (9-2) is a former Bellator middleweight champion and versatile MMA fighter. He is famous for his solid wrestling background and incredible physical power. M-1 Global team put a lot of effort to make this fight happen, and only now there had been found an agreement between M-1 and Brandon Halsey's team. Now there's no handicaps for this long-anticipated rematch to happen.

First fight in Bellator cage now in M-1 ring. I like this match-up for M-1.

Live stream for big rematch tomorrow below starting at 12 PM EST:

I'd like to see Shlemenko take it this time.

Just found out about this card while reading up on a few others but i'm hyped. Shlemenko's always been my favorite Bellator fighter and thought he deserved a rematch against the Hasley.

I hope I can watch it live but I'm a little confused over the start time. The website says it starts 12 EST but the website also says the next broadcast is in 14 hours. Does it start at 12 AM EST?

The start time is confusing but it should start at 12 PM EST.

Awesome win for Shlemenko

Great avenge win for the storm. Liver shot FTW.

I see a trilogy fight between them.

It's possible. Shlemenko looked good in this fight. He landed that liver shot with some serious power and accuracy and then pounded him out bad with a knee and punches. Was a great performance. Mamed/Shlemenko is again the fight to make.
