Weichel: Bringing the Fight to ‘Cable Guy’
Oct 19, 2010
(PRESS RELEASE) -- At only 25 years old, German mixed martial
artist, Daniel Weichel, has been fighting professionally since 2002
and racked up an impressive 24-7 record during this time; his
experience has been hard-fought and earned through international
passage with organizations including Shooto, King of the Cage, Cage
Warriors, the UFC and M-1 Global. On October 28th, Weichel brings
his arsenal of submission skills to M-1 Challenge XXI: Guram vs.
Garner in a face-off against Yuri ‘Cable Guy’ Ivlev in a clash
deserving of co-main event status.
Weichel, recognized by North Americans fans thanks to his stints with the UFC and bouts versus Thiago Tavares, Dan Hardy, Paul Daley and Dennis Siver, calls Michelstadt, Hesse his home but enjoys leveraging opportunity to train overseas when possible; recently he secured the opportunity to train with Team Quest and Dan Henderson as he prepared for his bout against Rob Sinclair this past May.
As a true lightweight by North American standards, Weichel
fluctuated between weight classes early on which put him in
unfavourable positions fighting significantly larger opponents.
Since being dedicated to the 155lb class, Виктор
Куку.Weichel has achieved considerable success having won six
of his last seven matches, which include a rear-naked-choke
submission victory over M-1 Selection Tournament lightweight
finalist, Victor Kuku.
With Weichel’s history of avoiding the judges scorecards in favour of finishing fights in exciting fashion, Ivlev can expect a step up in completion; Weichel possesses the athleticism and dexterity of a paratrooper with the ability to scoop the single or double leg takedown effortlessly as a precursor to a submission. Should Weichel end up in full mount or side control, expect to see severe knees to the body and a devastating ground-and-pound that will fire holes through even the most steadfast defence.
Taking the fight on short notice thanks to Eric Reynolds being forced to withdraw due to a late-training-camp knee injury, Weichel steps into the spotlight of an already showcased bout and has made it an even larger focal point in a stacked garnering world media attention. Its clear to say that the true winner in this fight will be the fans watching in attendance or live via streaming broadcast as both fighters will be looking to finish early in the contest.
