Alexander Shlemenko and Vlad Belaz will be the main stars of the RCC 22 tournament!

Alexander Shlemenko is a living legend in Russian MMA, known for his aggressive fighting style and powerful strikes. His last fight took place on December 14, 2024, at RCC 21 in Yekaterinburg, where he defeated Anatoly Tokov by split decision. His opponent, Vlad Belaz, is looking to make a name for himself at the highest level, although his MMA experience is still limited.

Vlad Belaz is a dangerous opponent, despite not having as much of a household name as Shlemenko. He started wrestling at the age of fifteen and switched to MMA in 2019. During this time, he became the Hardcore FC Champion, taking the title from Mukhammed "Cyborg" Kalmykov in 2023. After leaving Hardcore FC, Vlad was in talks with the UFC and planned to sign a contract in 2025. Young and ambitious Belaz is ready to prove his worth in a fight with an experienced veteran and actively develop as a fighter.

In addition to the main fight of the evening, RCC 22 will offer viewers many other interesting fights with the participation of promising Russian fighters. The organizers promise a rich program, where each fight will be a serious test for the participants. The fight between Ivan Shtyrkov and Shamil Gamzatov has already been announced. Although the other participants are not yet known, you can be sure that viewers will see bright moments, knockouts and intense fights.

The RCC organization is famous for its professionalism and the creation of spectacular events. The RCC 22 tournament 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 eagerly awaiting this event to see a showdown between a legendary fighter and a young title challenger. Vladislav Belaz is a master of grappling and freestyle wrestling; his assertiveness could be a key factor in a fight against the more experienced but older Shlemenko.
