M-1 Challenge 61 Gets New Date, Venue

M-1 Global heavyweight champion Marcin Tybura will headline Sept. 20’s rescheduled M-1 Challenge 61 card, which is now set to go down in Ingushetia, Russia, after the bill was previously announced for Sept. 19 in China.

Tybura (12-1) was named as a potential future breakout star by Todd Martin last year in a piece titled “ The Murky Future of the Heavyweight Division,” and will now look to bounce back from his first career loss against M-1 light heavyweight champ Stephan Puetz when he takes on Ante Delija (14-2).
