Featherweight bout at M-1 Challenge 96: Rene Hackl vs. Nikita Solonin

One of the best Hungarian MMA fighters Rene Hackl (4-0) is undefeated in professional MMA. Hackl finished all his opponents, three of them in the opening round and only one opponent made it to the second round to be knocked out. Two victories Rene got by knockout and another two by the way of submission. Nikita Solonin (4-2) is a Russian prospect who also never goes the full distance of the fight. Three times he knocked his opponents out and once won by submission. Solonin debuted in M-1 Global with a huge first round TKO victory, but in the next fight has been choked out. Solonin chose to fall asleep, but never give up and that demonstrated his warrior spirit. Two young finishers will meet in Saint Petersburg, Russia on August 25th!
