At the start of the 2009 "M-1 Challenge Presented by Affliction" season, USA West's playoff fortunes were hardly a lock due to being placed in a loaded Group B that includes South Korea, Brazil, and the defending '08 M-1 Challenge Champions, Fedor Emelianenko's Team Imperial.
But thanks to a deep roster, USA West is currently 2-0 and just one win away from clinching a semifinal berth. With a win in Saturday's best-of-five series vs. Imperial, USA West can claim its first-ever Group title.
The 15-bout event will emanate from the Olympic Hall in Seoul and will be available live on Internet PPV courtesy of www.M-1Global.com starting at 5 p.m. (local Seoul time).
