From the SF forum...

"What I find interesting is that M-1 made a big deal about not enough M-1 fighters on the co-promoted card and they failed to get visa's for a couple of there fighters, seems like they completely dropped the ball on this card after all the fuss about the April card and having to postpone it

Sucks because I was looking forward to seeing Magomed Shikhshabekov fight

Correct me if I'm wrong, but If this is the full card it looks like Fedor is the only M-1 guy on the card"



And here are the 4 prelims, which I cannot find otherwise on the sf site, which is puzzling

Yancy Medeiros vs. Gareth Joseph
Bobby Stack vs. Derrick Burnsed
Brett Bergmark vs. Vagner Rocha
Ron Keslar vs. Chris Cope

The prelims were out there a coulple weeks ago. A lot of the same names only they were matched up with some of M-1's international fighters. Now, they are matched up with prospects who have been fighting around the american circuit.

So, Magomed is not the only M-1 fighter they failed to get in the states. We're missing atleast 3 or 4 more M-1 fighters that were supposed to fight on the prelims.

Word is a few weeks ago that another M-1 fighter Karl Ammoussou was going to be booked in a fight to fill out the main card but that never really materialized eithier...now they only have a 4 fight main card.

This card really took a long time to take shape...even too long for Strikeforce...and with the changes from a lot of M-1 to almost no M-1...it seems like SF might have been giving somebody too much time to get their shit together...

I will say, atleast they got Fedor in the country...all is well.

I try to give M-1 chances I really do.

I'm just going to say it, I fucking hate M-1

1)But why does sf not put the prelims on their main site? we have to go and find the rumored prelims on some other site.

2)and even Fedor had a tougher then hoped for entry into the country.

screw m-1
