Mixed martial arts career

Background

Grishin competes in the heavyweight division, despite weighing around 220 lb, [3] a mere 15 lb over the light heavyweight weight limit. Grishin, therefore, is regarded as a small heavyweight, though he has fast striking ability. [4]

He trains with the Red Devil Sport Club [3] the training facility of Fedor Emelianenko and other top Russian fighters. [4] [5] As part of the Red Devil Sport Club, Grishin has also trained in Stary Oskol at the St. Alexander Nevsky Sport Palace. [6] In the build-up for his intended M-1 Global title fight against Guram Gugenishvili, Grishin trained with Kirill Sidelnikov, Dmitry Samoilov, Viktor Nemkov and Alexei Nazarov. [6] Unfortunately, Grishin was forced to withdraw from the bout with a knee injury that occurred during a national hand-to-hand combat fighting championship in Ufa. Consequently, M-1 Global Americas Champion Kenny Garner gained the opportunity to challenge fight Gugenishvili for the M-1 Heavyweight Challenge Title. [7]

Early career

Grishin made his professional mixed martial arts debut against Gela Getsadze [8] at the World Pankration Championship. [9] After going the two-round distance, Grishin was declared the winner via unanimous decision. [4] However, that same night, Judo ace Baga Agaev [10] used an armbar to force Grishin to submit just 47 seconds into their match. [3]

M-1 Global

Grishin joined M-1 Global in 2009, claiming a TKO victory in his first bout in March of that year. [3] Grishin faced Joaquim Ferreira [11] in Brazil soon after, but lost via north-south choke. [12] Grishin suffered a further loss at the hands of Shane del Rosario [13] in South Korea, defeated by TKO in just 21 seconds. [14]

After a further two wins in the M-1 Global organisation, [3] Grishin appeared for the Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki promotion at KSW 12, where he faced Dawid Baziak. [15] Baziak defeated Grishin via unanimous decision. [16] Returning to M-1 organisation, Grishin joined their Eastern European tournament. His opening round fight was against Gadzhimurad Nurmagomedov, [17] which Grishin won via TKO in round 1 [18] to progress to the semi-final. There, Grishin met Arsen Abdulkerimov, [19] again winning via TKO to reach the final. [20]

In the final, Grishin had to face his training partner Alexander Volkov. [6] Despite Volkov's superior record of 7–1, Grishin won the fight via rear naked choke in the opening round. [21] Consequently, Grishin became the M-1 Global Eastern European Heavyweight Champion. As Eastern European Champion, Grishin was scheduled to face Guram Gugenishvili, the Western European Champion, [22] for the inaugural M-1 Global Heavyweight Championship. [6] However, a month before the fight, Grishin withdrew with a knee injury providing M-1 Selection Americas Champion Kenny Garner with an opportunity to challenge for the title. [7]

Grishin faced Joachim Christensen on May 16, 2012 at М-1 Challenge 32 in his light heavyweight debut. [23] He won via unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, 29–27). [24] and was due to face Western Europe Champion Guram Gugenishvili [25] [22] for the M-1 Global heavyweight title until a knee injury forced his withdrawal. [7]

Grishin faced Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou in a kickboxing match on February 23 (Defender of the Fatherland Day), 2013 at Fight Nights 10. He won via split (29–28, 28–29, 28–29). [26] [27]

Grishin faced Trevor Prangley, gilling in for an injured Mike Kyle, at Fight Nights: Battle of Moscow 17 on 30 September 2014. [28] He won the fight via TKO in the second round. [29]

Having won both of his bouts, Grishin advanced to the Quarter-Finals, where he faced Smealinho Rama on October 13, 2018 at PFL 9 (2018 season). The bout ended in a majority draw after two rounds. However Rama advanced further in the tournament via first round tiebreaker, wherein the winner of the first round advances further. [32]
