This is the super fight for the lightweight champion title of the FIGHT NIGHTS GLOBAL organization!
For Magomedsaygid Alibekov, who is undefeated (9-0-0), the clash with "Butcher" on February 22 at SCCH "Rossiya" will become the most serious challenge of his career. With all due respect to all previous opponents of the Vladivostok fighter, there has never been an opponent of Aliev's level in the career of the current champ. After winning the belt in a harsh confrontation with Nariman Abbasov, Alibekov defended it in a five-round “war" versus Kuat Khamitov. Although, a lot of mixed martial arts fans are saying they expected much more from the native of Dagestan in that combat…
Akhmed Aliev (16-4-0) had two fights in 2017, defeating Efrain Escudero and Diego Brandao. The fight against the top Brazilian athlete showed the true level of "Butcher". It allowed Aliev to now battle the champion in the status of a favorite. Aliev neutralized Brandao’s skills both in the stand up and on the ground and also demonstrated the master skill - "the heart of a champion".
Alibekov – Aliev fight is a clash of physical strength and technique, sports "hunger" and experience. However, "experience" is a vague word. Despite having less fights, Alibekov is coming off a two five-round bouts win streak. Perhaps, this factor will become crucial... #AkhmedAliev#MagomedsaygidAlibekov #titlefight #FNG83
