M-1 Challenge 71 is set to take place Friday night in Ingushetia, Russia, and the event will be headlined by a light heavyweight encounter between Viktor Nemkov and Attila Vegh. Pavel Vitruk will take on Vitali Branchuk for the promotion’s inaugural bantamweight title in the co-feature and everything will go on as planned thanks to all the main card fighters coming in on point at Thursday’s weigh-ins.
Vegh was the first of the main event combatants to step to the scale and he came in at 204 pounds.
