On May 31, 2025, the RCC 22 tournament will be held at the UGMK Arena in Yekaterinburg
Alexander Shlemenko began his martial arts career with a wushu class at the age of six, and a year later he chose kickboxing. His first successes came in this discipline, but Alexander did not stop there and tried his hand at cross-country skiing, Greco-Roman wrestling, judo and Thai boxing. Inspired by the career of Fedor Emelianenko, he dreamed of competing in the UFC and from a young age strove for a professional career in MMA. Over the years of performing, "Storm" developed an aggressive fighting style and became famous for his powerful spinning kicks, for which he received his nickname. Among the organizations where he has proven himself are M-1 Global, League S-70, Fight Nights and others. However, it was Bellator MMA that brought Alexander worldwide fame: he won the Grand Prix twice and defended his champion title three times. In addition to his athletic achievements, Shlemenko actively supports sports among the youth of Omsk and promotes a healthy lifestyle.
His opponent is 26-year-old Vlad Belaz from the Belarusian hinterland. The young fighter began his career to help his family and quickly gained popularity thanks to his participation in pop MMA and bare-knuckle fights. Former Hardcore FC champion, Belaz signed a contract with Ural FC after his high-profile departure from the organization. Despite his relatively little experience in professional MMA, he has already managed to win a significant victory over the experienced Valery Myasnikov last fall.
The fight between Shlemenko and Belaz will be held according to boxing rules, which adds intrigue to the meeting of two such different fighters. RCC 22 tickets are an opportunity to witness a tense confrontation between a master of his craft and an ambitious newcomer.
