Added a short notice via request from Legz. This won't be in the weeked comp, but it's only 6 fights, might as well pick it :)

Hmm, doing a bit of reading and I think Smoldarev got injured. No word of a replacement at this short notice, which kinda ****s up the GP.

Denis Smoldarev dropped out of the M-1 Grand Prix M-January 2013
August 17, three days before the tournament M-1 Challenge 41 "Battle on the Neva", a member of the Grand Prix heavyweight Denis Smoldarev injured and withdrew from the semi-final bout. Constantine Gluhov place in the Grand Prix final.

One of the most anticipated fights of "The Battle on the Neva" Smoldarev VS Gluhov place not meant to be. Already being in St. Petersburg, Smoldarev Dennis injured his knee in training and will be unable to participate in the Grand Prix semi-finals. Due to the inability to find a replacement fighter in such a short time, the management company M-1 Global was decided to pass Constantine Glukhova in the Grand Prix final automatically. Thus, the "Battle on the Neva" we see only one semifinal fight the battle of heavyweights - Shaban Ka VS Marcin Tybura, the outcome of which will determine the opponent Constantine Glukhova in the final Grand Prix.

Denis Smoldarev appealed to his fans and explained what happened: "Dear friends, MMA fans and all those who were expecting my fight. I am truly sorry that I let you down and I can not take part in the tournament "Battle on the Neva" does not please you with the fight. I got really serious injury and to fight is simply impossible. It's a shame - I'm seriously getting ready and was in his best form. I would add that no fault of the organizers of what happened there, on the contrary, I apologize to the company M-1 that it happened and that I am getting them. As for the bones of the final output, I support this decision. He is a very strong fighter and has earned a place in the final. And I will come back in the ring and show interesting fights! Thank you all very much for your support. "

However, there is a good chance that the battle Smoldarev VS Gluhov still be. True, not as part of the Grand Prix. President of M-1 Global's Vadim Finkelstein said lifting Smoldareva with semi-finals and promised to do everything possible to make this fight took place in the near future: "We need to understand that MMA - very traumatic sport and it can happen to anyone. Denis got injured in just 3 days before the event. Return some of the fighters in the Grand Prix, or to find a replacement in time is impossible, so Constantine Gluhov goes to the final automatically. We are all very sorry that we will not see one of the most anticipated fights, but we promise that it will take place in the near future in one of the tournaments M-1. "

Are those fights at the bottom Sambo or MMA?

I noticed you added this to the Euro league , shouldnt it be part of the Asia comp not Euro . Just checking because I dont really want to pick it but I don't want to miss another Euro league  event either.

I think M-1 normally goes into Europe, especially Russian events?
I didn't/can't add events to individual comps - not sure if this was automatic?

Ok , ill pick it anyway just to be sure 

Hopefully this starts soon. I'm at work right now so I won't manage to update until I get home in three hours or so.

I had to guess at a lock time as there was nothing I could find start time wise on the net.

**** I missed this somehow, when did it lock?

@ronwah i heard its suppose to start around 12 .

@ poir just over an hour ago .

I guess because it wasn't in the contest list I didn't see it anywhere. Oh  well.

It did show on the right under "Prediction Deadline". I saw it there... otherwise I'd of missed it too.

Well I must be blind this morning, I was pretty sure I looked at the predictions deadlines at 7:30 and didn't see it.

Ahh, it was less than 24 hours until the lock when you posted those fights so I couldn't add them to be pickable anyway mmalari. I'll update it with the ones we did pick later.

Yeah this one got caught in the middle of the weekends and didn't get a home.  It's not part of any weekend contest.

@Ronwah FYI you can now post fights as late as you want.  The site will now automatically determine whether the fight has been added beyond the cutoff, and therefore whether or not people can make picks on it.   The cutoff is now officially 12 hours.
