Additional M-1 Global Challenge 1 & 2 information

More information on the M-1 Global Challenge events.

As we already know, the first M-1 Global Challenge event will be held already this Sunday, on March 2nd in Netherlands. That time four teams will be attending: Russian Red Devil Sports Club will compete against the French Team Amossou and fighters from Holland/Netherlands will be fighting German athletes. While previously there was information about nine different competing teams (MMA clubs), right now it seems that there will be at least twelve of them. The new list of represented countries include USA, Japan, Russia, Finland, the Netherlands, France, Korea and Brazil. The change, compared to the previously available information, is that the new teams of USA, Japan, Korea and Brazil were included, but the Skandinavian, Polish and Spanish team got excluded. It will be very interesting to see, who will be the trainer for these new teams. Will American team perhaps consist of Randy Couture as a trainer?

The trainer for the Russian team will be Fedor Emelianenko. He will also hold a seminar in Netherlands this week before the event. The seminar will be filmed by the professionals from the Jerry Millen team and there will be such great fighters as Ernesto Hoost (4x K-1 Grand Prix champion), Peter Aerts (3x K-1 Grand Prix champion), Remy Bonjasky (2x K-1 Grand Prix champion) and Gegard Mousasi, who will be fighting in an event himself.

There is also new information on the M-1 Global Challenge 2 event. It will be held in Saint-Petersburg, Russia on April 3rd. The competing team will be from Russia, Japan and Europe (whatever that means). The great news is that
three superfights are scheduled to take a place as well. Aleksander Emelianenko, Roman Zentsov and Amar Suloev will all fight in the event! There is no information on their opponents.

In total there are four M-1 Challenge events planned to take place in Europe, four in Russia and additional four of them will be held on Japanese and North American soil.
