M-1 Global middleweight champion Ramazan Emeev discussed Alexander Shlemenko's doping suspension, as well as Russia's Meldonium scandal.
On April 9, M-1 Global middleweight champion Ramazan Emeev will step back into the cage against Maiquel Falcao in the second half of the promotion's four-man Grand Prix tournament. The winner is scheduled to meet former Bellator champion Alexander Shlemenko, who defeated Vyacheslav Vasilevsky at M-1 Challenge 64.
While Emeev would have been happy to meet Vasilevsky in a trilogy fight - Emeev lost his title to 'Slava' in M-1 Global's 'Fight of the Year' in 2014 before he avenged that loss with a submission victory last year to reclaim the gold - he would rather match up against a fresh opponent with an international reputation.
