M-1 Challenge 2009 results and quick recap

[Tony]

M-1 Challenge 2009 Presented by Affliction touched down earlier today in Bourgas, Bulgaria. A total of 30 fighters representing six teams went to war at this weekend’s global event.
And with 13 of the 15 bouts ending via some type of stoppage, fans certainly got their money’s worth.
On Saturday, March 28, Turkey, The World Team, Germany, Team Russian Legion, Team North America, and the host Bulgarian team all made their 2009 M-1 Challenge season debuts at the Mladost Sports Hall, located just minutes from the sunny beach resorts of Bourgas.
Former Bulgarian Olympic wrestler Jordan Radev was in action. The 32-year old Plovdiv native had gone 7-0 since leaving the UFC and despite an MMA record of 18-3, was stopped by former NFL running back Herbert Goodman via KO in the first round.


Goodman, an elite athlete who played two seasons for the Green Bay Packers as a backup to former Pro Bowl running back Ahman Green, has made tremendous progress as a fighter despite his late entry into the sport.
An interesting subplot was the debut of a revamped German roster. Last year’s German team was eliminated from the 2008 M-1 Challenge early due to overwhelming defeats. However, a new roster of German fighters led by a new coaching staff tried to redeem their nation when it faced Turkey.
And they were successful, sweeping the Germans 5-0. Like Turkey, Team USA East dominated with its rout of Team Bulgaria.
