Russian fighter Ivan Shtyrkov told that injuries after the fight with Vladimir Minev do not allow him to fully prepare for the fight at the RCC 17 tournament against the ex-UFC fighter Maxim Grishina .
Last Saturday, November 18, in Sochi, Shtyrkov lost to Mineev by unanimous decision in a fight according to the rules of kickboxing. Even before this confrontation, RCC leader Nikolai Klimenko told that the possibility of Shtyrkov speaking at RCC 17, which will be held on December 15 in Yekaterinburg, was under discussion.
Grishin’s opponent will be Asylzhan Bakytzhanuly from Kazakhstan.
— Almost immediately after the fight, a day later we talked with Nikolai Klimenko about the need to slow down a little. Firstly, we must show good fighting spirit, especially at home. At home, the responsibility, especially for me, is very high. Secondly, after the confrontation with Vladimir Mineev, there are injuries that do not allow me to fully integrate into training. We are talking about special training – I cannot fight fully, train fully.
It is clear that if everything had happened without surprises, if I had been hit, if I had not suffered certain damage and had not given all my strength, then it would have… But all this would not is just reasoning. Yes, to a certain extent I’m not very comfortable in front of Maxim, but everyone was warned, so it’s not a surprise. Here I have to say thank you to the organization, I have to say thank you to Asyljan for covering me to a certain extent,” Chtyrkov told .
