M-1 CHALLENGE 2008 Edition 7 &8
DVD 4 Round 13
7th Edition
Team USA vs. Team Red Devil Highlights: Team Red Devil has consistent players throughout the M-1 Challenge who operate methodically and with great poise, whilst patiently setting up submissions and strikes. This Russian team keeps gathering confidence and experience as its members perform collectively like a well-oiled machine. By contrast, Team USA regularly chops and changes its members and has existing members changing weight divisions.
Round 14
Team Russia Legion vs. Team Spain Highlights: unlike their fellow countrymen, the Russian Red Devils, Team Russia Legion makes some drastic changes to their lineup here. This is a tightly contested card and the judges call for an extra round before they can reach a decision in the heavyweight division. The hard-fought broadside between Akhmed Sultanov and Sylvester Olesky brings another exciting night to a close.
Round 15
8th Edition
Team France vs. Team South Korea Highlights: the opener is staggering and reveals just how destructive strikes to the midsection can be. Makhtar Gueye must possess the best body-punches in the business. The second bout is forced into two overtimes – a total of four 5-minute rounds for this fight. Overtime then becomes the order of the day as this fierce competition remains tight and combatants put everything on the line.
Round 16
Team Japan vs. Team Spain Highlights: the card begins with a spectacular 25-second submission. Then one bout is forced into extra time, and another match shows what one well-placed kick to the body can do. There’s a lot of pride at stake in the last bout that caps of a spectacular event.
