M-1 Global is the first company sanctioned to promote professional mixed-martial-arts in China at this elite level. The event was held at Wukesong Arena, which was the site for basketball during the 2008 Olympics. Tybura, of Poland, needed only 3:35 to force previously unbeaten Estonian challenger Denis Smoldarev (8-1-0, 3 KO/TKO, 3 SUB) into tapping-out from a rear naked choke. Kharitonev emerged victorious from his Heavyweight Super Fight against American challenger and late replacement Kenny "Deuce" Garner (14-8-0, 8 KO/TKO, 3 SUB) when the doctor stopped the fight in the third round. Grabowski locked an arm triangle as Latvian challenger and knockout specialist, Konstantine "Lacplesis" Gluhuv (28-14-0, 21 KO/TKO, 4 SUB) submitted in round three of their Special Heavyweight Attraction. Four-time Washu Sanda champion Muslim "King of Wushu Sanda" Salikhov, of Russia, improved his professional record to 5-1-0 with a first-round knockout by punches of Brazilian welterweight Victor "Kratos" Sckoteski (5-2-0, 3 KO/TKO, 1 SUB). Undefeated Ukrainian featherweight Pavel Vitruk (12-0-0, 3 KO/TKO, 2 SUB) kept his perfect record intact, punching out Brazilian invader Rafael "Gogo" Miranda (9-5-0, 2 KO/TKO, 5 SUB) in the opening round. Chinese bantamweight Honggang "The Master" Yao (10-4-1) and Nikita "Piranha" Chistyakov (4-1-1), of Russia, fought to a three-round majority draw. Unbeaten Kazakh bantamweight Sergey Morozov (5-0-0) punched his way to a second round knockout victory over fan-favorite Rijirigala Amu (8-4-0), of China. The pro debut of Movsar Evloev was successful as the Russian bantamweight defeated another Chinese fighter, Jianwei "Yangtze Uksw" He (1-2-0), by way of a rear naked choke that resulted in a second-round submission.
