A kickboxing matchup between Ivan Shtyrkov and Gadji Avtomat has been confirmed for RCC 25, with the bout slotted in as the co-main event on July 4.
Shtyrkov, widely known by his nickname "Ural Hulk," brings an impressive mixed martial arts record of 15 wins, zero losses, and one draw into the contest. The 38-year-old Russian trains out of the Archangel Michael Club and stands six feet tall with a 74-inch reach. He competes from an orthodox stance and has built a reputation as one of the more physically imposing fighters on the regional circuit. This kickboxing appearance represents a cross-discipline outing for Shtyrkov, who steps onto the RCC platform in a stand-up format.
Verified data for Gadji Avtomat was not available at the time of publication, and details on his record and background remain unconfirmed through the AgentMMA database.
Why it matters
- Shtyrkov's unbeaten MMA record gives this kickboxing contest added weight, as any result could influence his broader combat sports profile.
- The co-main event billing at RCC 25 signals that both fighters carry enough regional draw to anchor a high-profile slot on the card.
- The stand-up ruleset puts the focus squarely on striking, a different test from the MMA environment where Shtyrkov has built his record.
