The RCC 22 tournament promises to be one of the most spectacular events in the Russian world of mixed martial arts

Alexander Shlemenko, a famous master of Russian MMA, is famous for his tough fighting style and powerful strikes. His last fight took place on December 14, 2024, at the RCC 21 tournament in Yekaterinburg, where he defeated Anatoly Tokov by split decision. He will be opposed by Vlad Belaz, a fighter with an impressive track record and huge ambitions to make a name for himself on the world stage. Despite his little experience in MMA, Belaz poses a serious threat.

Vlad started wrestling at the age of fifteen and switched to MMA in 2019. During this time, he managed to become the Hardcore FC champion, taking the belt from Mukhammed "Cyborg" Kalmykov in 2023. After that, Vlad left Hardcore FC and planned to sign a contract with the UFC in the summer of 2025. Young and energetic, he is ready to prove his worth in a fight with an experienced veteran and start his career in boxing.

In addition to the main fight, the RCC 22 tournament will offer viewers many other exciting fights with the participation of promising Russian fighters. The organizers promise a rich program, where each fight will be a real test for the participants. One of the confirmed fights will be the meeting of Ivan Shtyrkov and Shamil Gamzatov. The rest of the pairs have not yet been announced, but you can be sure that viewers will see many bright moments and exciting fights.

RCC is famous for its professional approach to organizing tournaments and creating spectacular fights. RCC 22 will be no exception: viewers will be able to enjoy the high level of organization and uncompromising struggle of the best Russian fighters. MMA fans are looking forward to this event to witness the confrontation between a legend of the sport and a young contender for the titles. Buy tickets for the RCC 22 tournament on our website. Vladislav Belaz skillfully uses grappling and freestyle wrestling techniques; his style is characterized by aggressiveness, which may be the key to victory over the more experienced, but already older Shlemenko.
