Watch a free live stream of Thursday’s M-1 Challenge 68 from St. Petersburg, Russia, beginning at 12 p.m. ET/9:00 a.m. PT.
The 10-bout lineup is headlined by former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko taking on Vyacheslav Vasilevsky in the final round of M-1’s middleweight grand prix. Shlemenko earned a split decision over Vasilevsky in their February semifinal encounter, but an injury to finalist Ramazan Emeev has given Vasilevsky the opportunity to avenge that defeat.
The show’s co-main event features another pair of ex-Bellator titlists, as newly crowned M-1 heavyweight champ Alexander Volkov will risk his belt against onetime Bellator 205-pound ace Attila Vegh.
