He fought against Cro Cop and Emelianenko! Legendary fighter! Ibragim Magomedov vs Overeem

Today it's time to tell about one of the fights of the legendary series of tournaments Russia vs World, which the M-1 company held in the early 2000s.
One of the main stars of those competitions and one of the strongest heavyweights in our country was Ibragim Magomedov. One of the first truly versatile fighters, he perfectly mastered freestyle wrestling and kickboxing, plus he possessed enormous physical strength and indomitable fighting spirit, ready to fight anywhere and with anyone.
During his long career, Ibrahim became a real star in the M-1 and Dutch 2H2H organizations, played in Pride FC against Mirko Cro Cop, fought twice with Alexander Emelianenko, defeated many European stars of that era and owned championship belts of several promotions.
Today you will see him fight against an equally legendary and deserved fighter - Valentine Overeem, Alistair's older brother. The Dutch fighter shone at the Rings and It`s Showtime tournaments, performed at Pride FC several times and had victories over such fighters as Randy Couture, Babalu Sobral, Hiromitsu Kanehara and Ian Freeman in his collection of scalps. His confrontation with Ibragim Magomedov took place at the Russia vs World 6 tournament, which took place on April 6, 2003 at the Yubileiny Sports Complex in St. Petersburg.
