With the 2008 regular season of the M-1 Challenge (www.M1Mixfight.com) in the books, Team Russian Red Devil and Team Holland are set to square off in the finals this coming Sunday (January 8).

The finals, which had originally been scheduled for Dec. 26 in Seattle, Washington but postponed due to inclement weather, will take place in Hilversum, Holland and feature a best-of-five format that will determine the first-ever M-1 Challenge championship team.

While U.S. viewers will have to wait to see the finals at a later date on HDNet, M-1 fans will be able to see superfights from the event streamed live for the first-time ever this Sunday on Sherdog.com (www.Sherdog.com).

The four superfight bouts will be free of charge and commence at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT. Set to face off are Radimir Gabdullin (Russia) vs. Kim Hoon (South Korea), Toni Valtonen (Finland) vs. Lee Chang Seob (South Korea), Inoc Solves (Spain) vs. Whi Sung Bae (South Korea), and Ricardo Wondel (Holland) vs. Lee Sang Boo (South Korea).

Lineups for the best of five head-to-head M-1 2008 championship finals have also been finalzied. At lightweight, Team Holland's Bogdan Christea (Career MMA Record: 5-3/M-1 Challenge Record: 2-1) will take on Mikhail Malutin (8-6/4-0) of Team Russian Red Devil.

If MMA had a "Comeback of the Year" award, Christea would be the leading contender after overcoming near fatal injuries sustained in an auto accident. Despite receiving a prognosis from doctors that he'd never fight again, Christea went 2-1 during M-1 Challenge regular season play.

Once overheard telling his coach that an "armbar is not a submission," the rugged Christea knows he'll have his work cut out for him on the 26th.

"It is gonna be a challenge for me, but I like challenges," said Christea. "I respect (Malutin) very much, he has a lot of experience and a good training camp with Fedor and the others. I will do my best and hope I can make a good show of it. We are both pool winners, so may the best win."

At welterweight, Red Devil's Erik Oganov (8-8/3-2) will meet Romano de los Reyes (8-6/1-2) of Team Holland. Oganov, one of Red Devil's most active competitors might be best known to U.S. fans after going 2-0 for the BodogFIGHT promotion with wins over Derrick Noble and former UFC veteran Keith Wisniewski.
