Alik Albogachiev (5-0) is one of the most talented lightweights from the republic of Ingushetia, Russia. Undefeated in his professional MMA career Albogachiev had all his fights in M-1 Global and only twice he went the full distance. In his previous fight he knocked his opponent out and before that twice won by the way of submission.
Pavel Gordeev (11-1) has never suffered a defeat in M-1 Global. Gordeev has a solid stand up game, but most of the finishes he got on the ground, five times he got the tap in his pro career. Now Gordeev is riding a four-fights winning streak and another victory may become another step towards the lightweight title shot for him.
