M-1 Challenge 38 HW Grand Prix Discussion...

I wonder who else they will bring in ?

I hope it's someone like Arlovski or Cro-Cop.

I highly doubt Sergei since he's with Glory but you never know I guess.

That's right.

Maybe they can get Barnett in this ,and I think Mirko maybe is available still, or Pedro Rizzo ?? I'm almost certain Kharitonov is no-go considering M-1 and Glory don't get along.

There isn't really a bunch of HW's out there with big names or legendary status that still fight,or that isn't tied up with the Zuffa World Order.

if im m-1 ill go and bring...

brett rogers, pedro rizzo (has 1 fight left on their deal) and peter graham and you pay all 3 of them with the money that aa,cc or sergei earn alone!!!

April 9 in St. Petersburg Ice Palace of Sports Tournament will take place in mixed martial arts M-1 Challenge 38 . Within this framework, will fight a rematch for the title of M-1 Challenge middleweight title bout between Mario Miranda ( Brazil ) 14-5 and Ramazan Emeevym ( Highlander ) 9-2.



Previous meeting of these men on November 15, 2012 at the tournament M-1 Challenge 35 Emelianenko VS Monson . At the battle of Ramadan Emeev out the status of the applicant, and the Brazilian Mario Miranda - a champion. After five rounds of grueling combat fighters to change the status - in a split decision champion was Emeev Ramadan.

As the battle is almost equal, and other contenders for the title fight until the fight for this right - it was decided to revenge. Both men know each other well, did the work on the bugs, and very likely that they will re-encounter a different scenario.

Also in the tournament will be the quarterfinal match M-1 Grand Prix in 2013 , where eight heavyweights determine the top four who will fight for M-1 Challenge 39 in Moscow on May 23. In total, the program M-1 Challenge 38 will be about 10 fights - follow the information on our site.

good beacuse imo, the first fight miranda won!!!

Hopefully Kudin looks better than in his Bellator debut. I was expecting more from him. Hope he bounces back.

Glad to see that MW rematch coming. Wish White Wolf would return and fight for his old belt back though. He hasn't fought in nearly two years. Will have to drop him from the rankings in April.
