M-1 CHALLENGE 27 - VINNY MAGALHAES VS. MIKHAIL ZAYATS

Vinny Magalhaes has had quite a 2011.  Not only did he recently win the +99KG  ADCC title by defeating the likes of Fabricio Werdum, he is also on a four fight win streak in MMA where he currently fights under the M-1 banner.  You may remember Vinny "Pezao" Magalhaes from his stint on the Ultimate Fighter where he made it to the final as a member of Team Mir and was knocked out by the season winner Ryan Bader.  While his career in the UFC was less than successful, he's been on a tear since leaving the organization and has put together wins in 8 of 9 fights.  In the process, he captured the M-1 Light Heavyweight Championship by defeating his opponent via third round Mounted Gogoplata.  


Watch Vinny Magalhaes defend his M-1 Light Heavyweight Championship belt for the first time.  This fight took place on 10/14/2011 at the Grand Canyon University Arena in Phoenix, AZ.
