Famous Russian light heavyweight Ivan Shtyrkov told MMA.Metaratings.ru who he can fight under the rules of MMA or kickboxing this year.
— There are two interesting proposals. We spoke to the management of the RCC and decided that until the end of next year it would not make sense to play in the camera and risk your health, as long as there were good offers in MMA and in kickboxing. As a punch, I would like to make my debut in RCC Hard. Kamil Gadzhiev received an offer to fight Vladimir Mineev in Sochi in October. Middle of the month. Most likely, the tournament will be scheduled to coincide with a government event or a public holiday.
We have planned a big tournament in the city of Chelyabinsk in early September. The organization’s plans have changed a bit. Now we will agree that the big tournament will take place in September, because the last big tournament was a long time ago – in May. Where will we do it, and will we do it? Let’s talk to management to give the green light. Initially, the plans were for a big event. But everything changes. Today is, tomorrow not. Set up for September. Nothing has been canceled yet. There is plenty of time. Vagab Vagabov, Shamil Gamzatov, Maxim Grishin. High-level potential fights that I’m focused on,” Shtyrkov said.
Shtyrkov, 34, has 22 wins and 2 losses in MMA.
Live broadcasts of mixed martial arts tournaments take place on the federal channel, matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
