Playing in the RCC League Alexander Shlemenko guessed what his opponent’s tactics would be Alexandra Ilic during the rematch.
The first fight between Shlemenko, 39, and Ilic, 34, took place in August 2022 and ended in 22 seconds with the Serbian fighter’s victory. After that, Shlemenko fought two fights, receiving a victory, a draw and a defeat. Ilic won once at Brave CF 69 in February this year.
The rematch will take place on December 15 in Yekaterinburg during the RCC 17 tournament.
— Your first fight lasted 22 seconds, what do you expect from Ilic in the rematch?
– All The same. He will bet on just one move. What new thing will he do? I watched his other fights. He’ll throw his knee, that’ll be his main one, he’ll add elbows, he’ll want to surprise me the same way he did with the knee last time. Add a high left leg kick. He will have a left jab and a right side kick – those are his main kicks. Maybe he’ll fight, but it’s unlikely.
– There is a feeling that you could beat Ilic through wrestling, but the main thing for you will be to win on the stand. Don’t you think this is an unnecessary risk and, in general, is this true?
– Well, it will be more interesting, people love the show. And I’m not a wrestling fan. I can fight in training, but I don’t want to fight in combat. If the opportunity presents itself, I might fight. Plus, I don’t know how he’s going to fight. Imagine, he will throw himself at your feet. It’s clear that this is a fantastic situation, but anything can happen,” Shlemenko told .
