His next fight was against Daniel Tabera which he lost by unanimous decision. [7]

M-1 Global

Vasilevsky's road to the 2010 M-1 Global Light Heavyweight Championship started with a split decision victory over Sergey Guzev.

[12] By contrast, none of Tomasz Narkun's professional fights had gone beyond the first round. [13]

Vyacheslav Vasilevsky defeated Tomasz Narkun via second-round TKO at M-1 Challenge XXII to become the inaugural M-1 Global Light Heavyweight Champion. However, after the fight, Vasilevsky moved down to middleweight. [2]

Vyacheslav faced Victor O'Donnell on March 16 at Bellator LXI in a middleweight tournament bout. [14] He won the fight via unanimous decision to advance to the semifinal round. [2]

In the semifinal round, Vyacheslav faced Maiquel Falcão on April 20 at Bellator LXVI. [15] He lost the fight via unanimous decision. [2]
