Cool to see M-1 doing co-promotion.

^that is great to see

Sounds like this will be a great event. I'd love to see some of the Berkut regulars like Abdul-Kerim Edilov and Beslan Isaev fight in M-1.

Co promotion and fighter sharing is what will unite and save mma.

Not familiar with Myasnikov. Does ACB has a LHW champ they could have matched him up with?

Some coverage of this on:

M-1 Challenge and Absolute Championship Berkut have announced that their co-promoted event on December 17th, will feature Maxim Divnich taking on Dzhambulat Kurbanov for the vacant, M-1 Challenge lightweight title.


The upcoming event will be hosted by the Palais des Sports Ice in St. Petersburg, Russia.


“Executives from both companies (including Mairbeck Hasiev and Bekhan Hasiev from ACB) are confident that this joint venture will be successful,” M-1 Global president Vadim Finkelchtein said in a press release, while discussing the joint venture, “giving MMA fans in Russia a number of interesting fights as well as a very entertaining show. We plan on having 12 competitive fights, featuring the strongest fighters from Russian clubs like Berkut, Alexander Nevsky, Fightspirit, Sambo-Peter, Martial Arts Club No. 1, and Alexander Nevsky OEMK, in addition to having top fighters from several foreign countries.”


Divnich (9-0) is coming off a first round, heel hook submission win over Antonio Paulo in September. The Russian lightweight has recorded finishes in 6 of his 9 victories.


Kurbanov (6-0-1) tapped out Dmitry Korobeynikov with a opening round, triangle choke in his last outing, which took place at M-1 Challenge 49 in June. Three of Kurbanov’s wins have come via submission.

M-1 Challenge 54 / ACB 12 will be streamed online at M1Global.TV.

Cody Mckenzie (15-5) will face Beslan Isaev (30-7)

Plus A middleweight fight between Anatoly Tokov (18-1-0), of Russia, and Enoc Solves Torres (15-7-0), fighting out of Spain, has been added to M-1 Challenge 54 & ACB 12 maincard.
