M-1 Global (Mixfight-1) or MMA-1 (Mixed martial arts-1)[1] is a mixed martial arts promotion based in St. Petersburg, Russia which organizes between 10 and 20 competitions per year.

It hosted its first major show (rather than co-promoting with other organizations) entitled M-1 Global Presents Breakthrough on August 28, 2009 at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas.[2]

M-1, in 2009, signed a contract to co-promote with Explosion Entertainment.[3]
