A kickboxing contest between Ivan Shtyrkov and Gadji Avtomat has been locked in as the co-main event of RCC 25, with the card set to take place on July 4.
Shtyrkov, known as the Ural Hulk, enters the bout riding an unbeaten run in MMA, where he carries a record of 15 wins and one draw against zero losses. The 38-year-old Russian trains out of Archangel Michael Club and competes as an orthodox striker, standing six feet tall with a 74-inch reach. While RCC 25 will see him compete under kickboxing rules, his MMA pedigree makes him a recognizable name on the card.
Information on Gadji Avtomat was not available in the verified fighter database at the time of publication, so details on his record and background cannot be confirmed.
Why it matters
- The co-main event slot gives the bout significant billing on the RCC 25 card
- Shtyrkov's unbeaten MMA record and physical tools will be tested under a different ruleset
- The matchup adds competitive interest to a promotion that regularly features top combat sports talent from Russia and the surrounding region
