M-1 MMA event coming to the Middle East?!

Got an opportunity to meet M-1 global president Vadim Finkelstien while in Dubai last week.

Vadim is MMA superstar Fedor Emelianenko’s manager and serving as president o M-1 global is one of the most powerful figures in the sport of MMA.

Lots of rumors floating around the Middle East that M-1 will be heading into the region soon and looking to develop local Arab talent!!!

When I asked mr. Finkelstien if the rumors were true…he offered me a very friendly Russian smile (does that exist?!) and said “we will see”—personally I would love to see another professional organization in the gulf and look forward to being able to work with them and Tam Khan of Glory MMA and Fitness!
