M-1 Global light-heavyweight champion Stephan Puetz discusses his upcoming rematch against Viktor Nemkov, and his interest in a fight with Russian heavyweight legend Fedor Emelianenko.
On March 14, 2014, a young German fighter arrived in St. Petersburg for the first time in his career to challenge for the M-1 Global light-heavyweight title. The towering Stephan Puetz was a considerable underdog against renowned champ Viktor Nemkov, and it became clear why shortly thereafter. Puetz wriggled out of submission attempt after submission attempt until he finally turned the tide late in the fight and scored a split decision win.
