russian fighter Ivan Shtyrkov admitted to MMA.Metaratings.ru that in 2022 the main surprise for him was defeat Alexandra Chlemenko by Serbian Alexander Ilic.
– I wouldn’t call the fight between Vitaly Slipenko and Abubakar Vagaev an upset. I don’t know why they didn’t believe in Slipenko’s victory. I initially had 50/50 and besides I leaned more towards him. A very unconventional guy. With such people, many surprises arise.
Therefore, Shlemenko – Ilic. This is evident from the reaction of everyone in Russian MMA: “Ops, OPSet”. A really sad ass, because many worried, believed and drowned for Sanya. And the duel ended quickly and nothing foreshadowed such an end. Sanya is an experienced fighter, but no one is immune to such defeats. This defeat was one of the most resounding of the past year. I couldn’t predict he would lose, but everyone just happened to go crazy,” Shtyrkov said.
Shlemenko (61-14-1-1) has had two fights in 2022, losing by knockout to Alexander Ilic in the first round and drawing three rounds with Brazilian Kleber Souza.
