New opponent for Pavel Gordeev!

At M-1 Challenge 87 the French fighter Mickael Lebout had to compete against Gordeev, but unfortunately he got injured and will be replaced by Bobur Kurbanov from Uzbekistan. Bobur Kurbanov (5-1) is the national hand-to-hand combat champion and a real finisher with three submission and two knockout victories. Kurbanov is a great all-round fighter and he was happy to capture this opportunity and fight at the M-1 Arena Grand opening event on February 9th!
