On May 31, 2025, Yekaterinburg will become the arena for an exciting duel at the RCC 22 tournament
Alexander Shlemenko began his martial arts career with wushu classes at the age of six. A year later, he chose kickboxing himself, and his parents supported this decision. His first victory came in this sport, but Alexander did not stop there: he tried his hand at cross-country skiing, Greco-Roman wrestling, judo and Thai boxing. As a boy, he became interested in watching UFC fights and dreamed of a career in MMA, inspired by the example of Fedor Emelianenko. Since then, Shlemenko has become known for his aggressive fighting style and desire to finish fights ahead of schedule. He became famous for his powerful spinning kicks, for which he received the nickname "Storm". In his career, Alexander participated in such promotions as M-1 Global, League S-70, Fight Nights and others, but he is most famous for his participation in Bellator MMA. Here he won the Grand Prix twice and defended his champion title three times. In addition to his sporting achievements, Alexander is actively involved in social activities: he organizes tournaments for young people in Omsk and maintains a healthy lifestyle.
His opponent Vlad Belaz is a young fighter from the Belarusian outback. Despite a difficult childhood and a poor family, he has been able to achieve significant success in the professional MMA and boxing arena since 2020. Vlad made a name for himself in pop MMA and bare-knuckle fighting, becoming the Hardcore FC middleweight champion. After leaving this organization with great resonance, he signed a contract with Ural FC. Belaz recently won his most significant victory over the experienced Valery Myasnikov by unanimous decision of the judges. His talent and youthful enthusiasm could become an unexpected advantage against the experienced Shlemenko.
Buying tickets to RCC 22 in Yekaterinburg is an opportunity to see a unique confrontation between two bright fighters: the wisdom and strength of experience against the energy of youth and talent.
