THIS FIGHT WENT INTO HISTORY! 20-year-old Alexander Volkov vs. the legendary Ibragim Magomedov

On December 3, 2009, the final of the first ever M-1 Selection team championship of Russia in mixed martial arts took place in St. Petersburg. The strongest club of the country Gorets and Red Devil met. By the final fifth round of the team fight, the mountaineers were already leading 3-1 and the title of champions was won early. But at the same time, the fight of heavyweights aroused great interest among spectators and specialists, because a legendary and very well-deserved fighter entered the ring this evening. Ibrahim Magomedov is the star of the M-1 and 2H2H tournaments, who has played since the beginning of zero. Two-time world champion and European champion, who crushed a huge number of foreign stars in hard fights. In the near future, we will definitely publish its content on our channel, because it is a real classic and old-school mixed martial arts. But that evening, he was confronted by a very young fighter, who in the future was to become one of the main Russian stars in the MMA world and win the M-1 Challenge and Bellator heavyweight titles. In the team tournament, what was matchmaking and who got to fight, was determined only by the coaching staff of the team. A week before the competition, the management of Red Devil offered to compete with Alexander Volkov, who started his professional career only six months before and joined the team recently. And a young student of Moscow University named after Bauman accepted the challenge, which not only left him with a titanium plate in the arm broken in the first round for all future years, but also fundamentally changed his fate. It was this battle that Alexander himself many years later will call the main stimulus and impetus for the development of his professional career. And viewers for many years remembered the incredibly persistent and willful battle of two legends. #Volkov #Magomedov #M1
