Russian mixed martial artist (MMA) Vladimir Mineev will fight kickboxing on September 15. This was announced to Sport-Express by the president of the AMC Fight Nights promotion, Kamil Gadzhiev.
The meeting will be held in Elista, the opponent will be the former Belaltor champion Brazilian Rafael Carvalho. “Why he? We needed a person who understands what kickboxing is. Big name, merit, why not? There is an agreement that Mineev will be released on vacation until the 15th,” Gadzhiev said.
At the moment, Mineev is taking part in a special operation in Ukraine. The athlete, who previously served in the Airborne Forces, received the summons in September.
In October 2021, Mineev defeated Magomed Ismailov by knockout at the AMC Fight Nights tournament. He held onto the organization’s middleweight championship belt. In total, the athlete won 16 victories in MMA with a single defeat and one draw.
