M-1 Global announced Friday that featherweight champion Ivan Buchinger will defend his crown against undefeated challenger Magomed Idrisov in the headlining bout of M-1 Challenge 67.
The action will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan at an as yet to be announced venue. The card will be streamed in the U.S. live on M1Global.tv.
Buchinger, a native of Slovokia, has yet to lose inside the M-1 Challenge ring. He captured the vacant M-1 145-pound title at M-1 Challenge 52 when he stopped Tural Ragimov via punches in the fourth round. He officially defended his crown once, taking a unanimous decision against current M-1 lightweight champ Mansour Barnaoui at M-1 Challenge 62.
