M-1 Challenge Events Now ‘In Association’ With Affliction
September 27th, 2008
M-1 Global and Affliction keep strengthening the ties in MMA. Officially from now on all the M-1 Challenge events will be organized in association with Affliction.
This sounds like a sponsorship more than anything else. Considering the M-1 Challenge takes place in various locations around the world, Affliction likely sees this as a way to break their clothing line into the international marketplace.
If Affliction Entertainment proves everyone wrong and becomes a long-term player, the M-1 Challenge could become a good feeder league for Affliction as well. It’s been said to have some very talented up-and-coming fighters competing in it. I’m not Jordan Breen so I’m really not familiar with too many of them but there’s a lot of buzz surrounding Fedor’s pupil, Kiril Sidelnikov, who I mentioned the other day. I posted a video of him trading bombs with Martin Szoltysik after the jump. It’s an entertaining fight with a great finish. Watch it.
M-1 Challenge Episode One Recap
September 25th, 2008
Here’s a recap of the first episode of M-1 Global’s M-1 Challenge that aired on HDNet last Friday night. One fighter you should pay attention to is Kiril Sidelnikov. He’s a 19 year old member of Russia’s Red Devil Team, and trains under Fedor Emelianenko, which has led to his nickname, “Baby Fedor.” The kid’s really good, and will likely be someone we’ll hear a lot more about in the future.
