Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Maxim Grishin is a Russian mixed martial artist who competes in the heavyweight and light heavyweight division. A professional MMA competitor since 2008, Grishin has fought all over the world, though mostly in Central and Eastern Europe.[1] He defeated Alexander Volkov[2] for the 2010 M-1 Global Eastern Europe Heavyweight Championship.[3] and was due to face Western Europe Champion Guram Gugenishvili[4][5] for the M-1 Global heavyweight title until a knee injury forced his withdrawal.[6] Grishin is expecting to challenge the winner of upcoming Gugenishvili / Garner bout for the title.[7]

Mixed martial arts career

Background

Grishin competes in the heavyweight division, despite weighing around 220 lb,[1] a mere 15 lb over the light heavyweight weight limit. Grishin, therefore, is regarded as a small heavyweight, though he has fast striking ability.[8]

He trains with the Red Devil Sport Club[1] – the training facility of Fedor Emelianenko and other top Russian fighters.[8][9] As part of the Red Devil Sport Club, Grishin has also trained in Stary Oskol at the St. Alexander Nevsky Sport Palace.[10] In the build-up for his intended M-1 Global title fight against Guram Gugenishvili, Grishin trained with Kirill Sidelnikov, Dmitry Samoilov, Viktor Nemkov and Alexei Nazarov.[10] Unfortunately, Grishin was forced to withdraw from the bout with a knee injury that occurred during a national hand-to-hand combat fighting championship in Ufa.[7] Consequently, M-1 Global Americas Champion Kenny Garner gained the opportunity to challenge fight Gugenishvili for the M-1 Heavyweight Challenge Title.[6]

Early career

Grishin made his professional mixed martial arts debut against Gela Getsadze[11] at the World Pankration Championship.[12] After going the two-round distance, Grishin was declared the winner via unanimous decision.[8] However, that same night, Judo ace Baga Agaev[13] used an armbar to force Grishin to submit just 47 seconds into their match.[1]

M-1 Global

Grishin joined M-1 Global in 2009, claiming a TKO victory in his first bout in March of that year.[1] Grishin faced Joaquim Ferreira[14] in Brazil soon after, but lost via north-south choke.[15] Grishin suffered a further loss at the hands of Shane del Rosario[16] in South Korea, defeated by TKO in just 21 seconds.[17]

After a further two wins in the M-1 Global organisation,[1] Grishin appeared for the Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki promotion at KSW 12, where he faced Dawid Baziak.[18] Baziak defeated Grishin via unanimous decision.[19] Returning to M-1 organisation, Grishin joined their Eastern European tournament. His opening round fight was against Gadzhimurad Nurmagomedov,[20] which Grishin won via TKO in round 1[21] to progress to the semi-final. There, Grishin met Arsen Abdulkerimov,[22] again winning via TKO to reach the final.[23]

In the final, Grishin had to face his training partner Alexander Volkov.[10] Despite Volkov's superior record of 7–1, Grishin won the fight via rear naked choke in the opening round.[2] Consequently, Grishin became the M-1 Global Eastern European Heavyweight Champion. As Eastern European Champion, Grishin was scheduled to face Guram Gugenishvili, the Western European Champion,[5] for the inaugural M-1 Global Heavyweight Championship.[10] However, a month before the fight, Grishin withdrew with a knee injury providing M-1 Selection Americas Champion Kenny Garner with an opportunity to challenge for the title.[6]

Grishin then faced Joachim Christensen on May 16, 2012 at М-1 Challenge 32 in his light heavyweight debut.[24] He won via unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, 29–27).
