In the main fight of the RCC 14 evening, the top Tyumen fighter Alexei Kunchenko and the Brazilian Gleison Tibao met. Kunchenko did not play in his hometown for ten years, and his return became very loud - tickets ended weeks before the tournament.
?? Gleison Tibao is one of the top 100 fighters in the world: he fought in the UFC and PFL, and he has serious experience behind him - 36 victories, half of which are early. Tibao is known to Russian fans for his duel against Khabib Nurmagomedov. Khabib won by decision, but the vast majority of foreign experts said that it was the Brazilian who won. However, since then, Tibao has repeatedly proved his level.
?? Alexey Kunchenko can be safely called a legend of Russian MMA. In 2018, he went on a series of 18 wins and received an offer from the world's leading organization UFC, where he spent four fights, and then, like his future opponent, he signed a contract with the PFL. Alexey has been focusing on developing his career in Russia for the last year and the fight in Tyumen will be an important one for this
