These two were the best suited to each other to arrange something crazy in the rage, which ended up in a tough knockout with a fractured jaw and the birth of a new star M-1 Global.
As you have seen more than once on our channel, there have been many colorful fighters, showmen and odious personalities in the history of M-1. But when two striking characters met in a duel at once, this battle immediately acquired great interest and heightened expectations from the audience.
At the M-1 Challenge 83 tournament, which took place on September 23, 2017 in Kazan, two incredibly talented and very extraordinary fighters of the featherweight division fought.
3FC champion Nate Landwehr is a daring fighter in every way. He was an excellent master of the art of trash, put on shows from his outings and preferred the good old chopper with an open visor to all other fighting styles. As soon as he entered the ring or cage, a storm began in it. On his account there were five knockout victories out of eight. And that year, an American traveled to Russia for the first time in order, in his own words, "to knock out everyone who gets in the way of the belt."
And there a no less charismatic and colorful rival was already waiting for him. Mikhail Korobkov has always been a very talented universal fighter who preferred not to bring the matter to the decision of the judges, and at the same time outside the ring he periodically arranged various extraordinary stories. And what is typical of neither Nate nor Mikhail, their sometimes defiant behavior and the desire to beat bone to bone with any opponent was not in some way, but rather was a lifestyle.
