ROAD Fighting Championship is proud to announce the winner of the Russia Trials in MFP for the $1 Million Lightweight Tournament “Road to A-Sol”.


Modern Fighting Pankration (MFP) held the Russia Trials for the ROAD FC $1 Million Tournament during MFP 207 “Nord Fight” on February 25 in Yakutsk, Russia. Elnur Agaev won the right to be seeded in the Tournament as the Russia Trials representative.


In the first match, Elnur Agaev took Pavel Gordeev to a hard fought Unanimous Decision victory to advance to the final match.


In the second match, Herman Beryozkin also went to a Unanimous Decision against Evgeny Lakhin to advance to the finals.


Beryozkin was injured from his tough match and was not able to proceed to the finals, so Agaev became the winner of the Trials and thus advanced to the Tournament.
