On November 1, 1997, in the Yubileiny Sports Palace in St. Petersburg, in front of packed stands, a young businessman Vadim Finkelstein held the European Championship in mixed martial arts, which was attended by the best fighters of that time from six countries. It was this tournament that became the starting point in the history of the M-1 Global organization. Three four-man tournaments were held that evening as part of the championship. Today we will watch the semi-final fight, in which the legendary Gilbert Yvel, who at that time was at the very beginning of his eventful career, which in the future would include fights in Pride and UFC, performed. And his opponent was Sergey Tunik
