SATURDAY NOV 12, 2011 ASTRAKHAN CITY, RUSSIA AND LIVE VIA INTERNET PPV.
The main bout features Magomed Malikov (Highlander) 6-1 vs Alexander Emelianenko (AE Tea) 17-4. The highly anticipated return of Fedor’s brother Alexander Emelianenko to M-1 ring has been the talk of the day. When M-1 Challenge Welterweight Champion Shamil Zavurov was forced to pull out of his title fight scheduled to headline the event, M-1 announced that Alexander Emelianenko had agreed to fill one half of the main event. Many felt the task of finding an opponent for Emelianenko could be a daunting one, after all, the event was 10 days away, and facing Alexander Emelianenko is no easy feat. Enter 6-1 Highlander team member Magomed Malikov.
The 28 year old fighter from Dagestan has a history of stepping up in big events, a national hand to hand fighting champion, Malikov is also a winner of the Caspian Sea Cup. This past July, Magomed won a one night four man tournament defeating accomplished MMA veteran Alexey Oleinik by TKO and Ukrainian powerhouse Yuri Gorbenko. When the call came with the offer of the fight Malikov accepted, and according to his team, Magomed will be ready one week after the fight against Alexander Emelianenko and will compete at M-1 Challenge XXIX, as planned in the Grand Prix heavyweight M-1 Selection Europe.
In co-main event action Isaiah “The Striking Viking” Larson (Striking Viking MMA) 13-6 will face Alihan Magomedov (Anapa) 9-2. Larson is coming off of a unanimous decision win over Herbert Goodman in September of this year while Magomedov is looking to get back on track after suffering a submission (Triangle Armbar) defeat by non-other-than Vinny Migalhaes at the M-1 Challenge XXII.
