The head of the RCC Nikolai Klimenko, in a conversation with , called the confrontation between the Russians Khadisa Ibrahimova And Ivana Chtyrkova a highly anticipated fight.
The fight according to the rules of MMA in intermediate weight up to 100 kg between Shtyrkov and Ibragimov will lead the RCC 20 tournament, which will take place on October 18 in Yekaterinburg. Shtyrkov fought his previous fight on May 11 against Gadzhimurad Antigulov, winning by first-round technical knockout. The fighter is currently on a six-fight winning streak. Ibragimov is undefeated in six fights since leaving the UFC in 2020, where the light heavyweight has lost four out of four fights. Previously, Ibragimov was the champion of the M-1 league.
— Shtyrkov vs. Ibragimov is the fight I’ve been waiting for for a very long time. For me, these are two names, two accomplished MMA athletes. It is estimated that this fight will be fundamentally different from those that fighters have fought in other disciplines. It’s MMA, it’s heavyweight. Everyone will strive to win to prove that they are better.
It will be interesting to see Ivan almost return to heavyweight, since the fight will take place at a limit of one hundred kilograms. And Khadis, who has as many heavyweight championship belts as possible, is forced to move down (in this category). Its shape is interesting, and what we see on social media shows its professional approach to cutting. It is not for nothing that this fight is the main event of the tournament,” Klimenko told .
