Meeting Vladimir Minev And Ivana Shtyrkova in mixed martial arts (MMA) will be much more interesting and competitive than their fight under the rules of kickboxing, a UFC fighter told Roman Kopylov .
In mid-November, AMC Fight Nights middleweight champion Mineev defeated MMA fighter Shtyrkov by unanimous decision after three rounds of a kickboxing match. The win was Mineev’s fourth in kickboxing competitions following an MMA career that lasted from 2014 to 2021. Mineev is expected to return to MMA in 2024, fighting Shtyrkov on a two-fight deal.
— Volodya did his job. He crushed his opponent in close combat, from a distance with his legs. He won a well-deserved victory, although he was somewhat cautious. But their meeting in MMA will be more interesting. There will be a fight, thinner gloves, longer rounds. It will be interesting for me to watch their fight in MMA, I can’t give a preference. In such a fight, every blow can decide the outcome,” Kopylov told .
