Khadis Ibragimov
Date: March 30 | M-1 Challenge | Method: TKO (Punches) – Round 1 | Opponent: Rafał Kijańczuk (7-0)
The Russia native has a background in Sambo as he is the former World Universal Combat Champion, the winner of the Russian Combat-Sambo Cup, and a European Combat-Sambo Champion. Ibragimov is the current M-1 Global champion with one title defense. He is still very green, but at his age, I really like where he is and I think he has a bright future. In the clinch, Ibragimov utilizes trips and has excellent judo throws he likes to use.

Stephen Loman
Date: March 15 | Brave CF | Method: TKO (Punches) – Round 4 | Opponent: Elias Boudegzdame (15-5)
The Philippines native is more than ready for the step up to the big show with three defenses of his Brave CF belt. Loman’s last five opponents had a combined record of 56-15 proving, he’s fought stiff competition. Loman has a background in Wushu Sanda. On the feet, he isn’t too effective but he has power and timing. He has excellent level changes and once on the mat, he is in his world. He thrives in transitions and his six decision wins prove he can fight his fight for three to five rounds.
