Tiger vs Kong Killa at M-1 Challenge 44

Translation from mixfight.ru

At M-1 Challenge 44 striker Yuri "Kong Killa" Maia (12-1) will fight Magomed "Tiger" Magomedov (7-1).

The young featherweight Yuri Maia began his professional career when he was 18 years old and since then he has been almost unstoppable, only one loss in 13 fights and he won his last 11. Maia prefers to stand up and  8 times he KOed his opponents.

Maia strikes very good with both hands, works great with knees and elbows and has also excellent balance. At only 20 years old he has established himself as one of the most exciting young talents in Brazil and his international debut should be an excellent test for Yuri.



His opponent - the first champion of Russia and Europe, Magomed Magomedov has also a very aggressive attacking and entertaining style of fighting. He won 7 out of 8 professional fights and In the M-1 Challenge he won both fights.

Two very young but experienced and incredibly talented fighters with great records come together in a spectacular confrontation November 30.

Very awesome prospect signing by M-1, and then putting him up against a fighter they've been building up(Magomedov 4-0 with M-1). Can only expect a cool fight!

I got Magomedov by KO in an all out war.

Really good fight.
