Gleison Tibao is one of the 100 best fighters in the world: he fought in the UFC and PFL, and behind him is a wealth of experience: 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 it was the Brazilian who won. However, since then, Tibao has repeatedly shown his level.
Alexey Kunchenko can be safely called a legend of Russian MMA. In 2018, he went on a string of 18 victories and received an offer from the world’s leading organization UFC, where he spent four fights and then, like his future opponent, signed a contract with the PFL. The last year Alexei has focused on developing his career in Russia, and the fight in Tyumen will be an important milestone in his life.
The tournament will take place at the “Central” sports complex and will combine 14 fights on the undercard. In addition to Kunchenko, famous Tyumen fighters Timur Nagibin and Roman Muhamedshin and nine other rising stars of mixed martial arts will perform as part of the show.
