A heavyweight fight is always a heavyweight fight, which means it receives increased attention from the audience. Especially when it comes to a clash between an experienced puncher and a tall young prospect.
On March 10, 2018, the international mixed martial arts tournament M-1 Challenge 89 will take place in St. Petersburg at the M-1 Arena.

Shortly before this, world champion in mixed martial arts Zaur Gadzhibabaev returned to the M-1 Challenge rank after a year and a half break. At the M-1 Challenge 86 Battle of the Narts tournament, he severely knocked out Nikolai Savilov. Zaur is a very talented, versatile fighter who knows how to wrestle well and has a cannon-like punch.

He was opposed by a two-meter sambo wrestler Anton Vyazigin, nicknamed “The Giant from Cherepovets,” who confidently walked through the M-1 Challenge tournaments, crushing three opponents in a row, until he collided with ex-UFC fighter Philip De Vries, to whom he lost by a split decision. Now the young heavyweight had to gain points again in order to make his way to the title fight.
