Bruno Silva shocks Alexander Shlemenko in 1st round PhilBoxing.com Sat, 02 Jun 2018  Undefeated Artiom Frolov defeats Joe Riggs to remain M-1 Challenge middleweight champ CHELYABINSK, Russia (June 1, 2018) - Brazilian middleweight Bruno Silva shocked Alexander Shlemenko with an opening round stoppage to set-up a potential showdown with M-1 Challenge champion Artiom Frolov, who defeated American challenger Joe "Diesel" Riggs earlier this evening (Fri.) at M-1 Challenge 93 in Chelyabinsk, Russia. To say the least, Silva (18-6-0) was impressive in his M-1 Global debut, knocking out the former Bellator champion Shlemenko (56-11-1), at the 2:54 of the first round. Russian star Shlemenko, who was the M-1 Grand Prix middleweight champion, had been 6-0-0 in M-1 Global competition going into The Rage to take on Silva in the main event. Silva trapped Shlemenko on the ropes and unloaded a powerful barrage of punches to the head and body, as well as one well-executed knee to the face, leaving the Russian star out cold on his feet and the stunned crowed silent. In the co-featured event, Frolov improved his perfect MMA pro record to 11-0-0, 8-0-0 in M-1 fights, when the doctor stopped the fight in the second round due to a knee injury suffered by Riggs, the former UFC fighter. 
Silva celebrates after his shocking vicrory over Shlemenko.
