M-1 Global’s 28 August show titled Breakthrough and headlined by “King” Muhammed Lawal (3-0) versus former UFC champion “Predator” Don Frye (20-7-1) is looking for a new venue, according to Fighters.com’s sources.
Originally scheduled to coincide with the International Mixed Martial Arts Expo in Los Angeles 27-29 August, Fighters.com’s sources have inidcated the IMMAE is considering rescheduling for the weekend of UFC 104 in Los Angeles 23-25 October.
“[Breakthrough] may move to northern California or Nevada [because of the IMMAE rescheduling],” said Fighters.com’s source.
The IMMAE has not replied to Fighters.com’s request for comment.
Sports Illustrated reported Wednesday that M-1 Global had not yet approached the California State Athletic Commission for a license to stage the fight card.
Days after UFC President Dana White mocked M-1 Global for suggesting the promotions co-promote in exchange for sealed deal with Fighters.com Heavyweight Champion “Last Emperor” Fedor Emelianenko’s (29-1), M-1 Global’s lack of attention to detail seems amateurish, especially for an international promotion.

You know what really seems amateur? Your childish support for zuffa. M-1 Global had to change plans because their business partner, Affliction Entertainment, sold out (probably criminally) to zuffa.
Also odd is your mentioning of dana white and amateur in the same sentence. It’s amazing you were unable to link this adjective to its appropriate noun.
Go back to the wwe, pal.
Three days ago I was accused of worshiping at the altar of M-1 Global:
