This was announced by the executive director of the RCC league Nikolai Klimenko.
In August last year, 34-year-old Alexander Ilich became the author of a sensational victory, knocking out Alexander Shlemenko at the RCC 12 tournament in Yekaterinburg at 22 seconds into the fight. After that, the Serbian fighter lost a unanimous decision in a boxing match to Magomed Ismailov, and also won a split decision against the Pole Marcin Narujka in a duel according to MMA rules.
39-year-old Alexander Shlemenko went into the cage twice after the defeat, drawing the fight with the Brazilian Kleber Souza at the SFC 5 tournament in Omsk, and losing by unanimous decision to Magomed Ismailov at the RCC 13 tournament in Yekaterinburg.
