The 170-pound title tilt replaces the rescheduled lightweight championship between defending titlist Mansour Barnaoui and Artem Damkovsky due to both men becoming injured in training.

The Russian organization also announced that a lightweight showdown between former 155-pound king Maxim Divnich and Robert Turnquest will take place on the card as well.

M-1 Challenge 65 will be anchored by a skirmish between reigning M-1 Challenge middleweight titleholder Ramazan Emeev and Maiquel Falcao. Their match is a semifinals duel in the M-1 Middleweight Grand Prix with the victor set to take on Alexander Shlemenko, the other semifinals winner, later in the year.
