Wow, didn't know M-1 picked up Barnaoui. Awesome signing. Wouldn't be surprised if that were Khamanaev's opponent.

He fought in M-1 in the spring & then summer last year.

2014 needs some M-1, hope their first show goes great.

You´re right. According to fightlife.ru Musa will defend his belt against BAMMA champ Barnaoui.

Cool to see Musa on this one. They should get Grabowski/Tybura on the next card.

Niko Puhakka will meet the great Russian LW prospect Maxim Divnich (7-0)

Zontek will face yashid yusupov 2-2

Smoldarev vs ante Delija!

Wow! This is a fight that I don't want any of the two to loose!

2 great prospects in the hw division going at it!

Tough fight indeed!

Mjesec dana nakon trijumfa na eventu Noć Gladijatora 8, HW zvijezda Ante Delija (8-1) saznao je ime sljedećeg protivnika.

"Moja sljedeća borba je 28. veljače protiv Denisa Smoldareva u M-1 organizaciji. Ta borba mi je jako bitna borba u karijeri. Bit ću spremniji nego ikada," rekao je portalu www.scena.hr.

Nastup za ovako jaku MMA organizaciju definitivno mu može pomoći na putu do cilja kojeg je istaknuo u istom intervjuu.

"Želja mi je biti UFC borac."

Kontaktirali smo čelnika dubrovačkog Gladijatora Mara Peraka kako bi saznali više detalja o nadolazećem susretu, a on nam je napomenuo da pregovori nisu još gotovi, no teku po planu. On je bio malo suzdržaniji i nije htio reći da je sve u potpunosti ugovoreno no, "Kad izađe na fight cardu biti će 100%. Radimo na tome i skoro smo u završnim pregovorima. U ponedjeljak se sve završava," otkrio nam je Maro.

Denis je neporažen (5-0) i dobrano udara, što se može vidjeti na priloženoj snimci. Ako sve prođe prema očekivanjima Ante u ring ulazi 28. veljače u St. Petersburgu - na priredbi M-1 Challenge 45. To će biti njegov M-1 Global debi.

Thanks for the news. Top notch matchmaking.

Is Khamanaev vs Barnaoui not happening anymore?

Seems like Barnaoui is out.

Barnoui is injured they are looking for a replacment

That's a shame. Was really looking forward to that matchup.

M-1 Global president Vadim Finkelstein said

“This fight is for the No. 1 Heavyweight contender between two very talented and enormous young prospects. Smoldarev is unbeaten in seven bouts while Delija has only one loss and is considered to be the next big thing in Croatian MMA. Whoever wins is likely to challenge the M-1 Global Heavyweight Champion.

^Nice.  Hope they get Kharitonov in that mix as well.

Musa is still on the card. He's just fighting in a non title fight now.

The big boys are ready
