«Octopus» x URAL FC

On May 8, 2026, at Falcon Club Arena (Minsk), a historic joint tournament of two powerful leagues took place – the Belarusian «Осьминог» and the Russian URAL FC. The event went far beyond a sports competition: the fights were accompanied by performances of the Supermassive Orchestra symphony orchestra, the «Feyeria» show-ballet, light and smoke effects, creating a unique immersion into the world of combat sports.

In the main event of the evening, two champions faced off:

– Nikita Kokosh (Belarus) – silver medalist of the 2024 Muay Thai World Championship,

– Akhliman Mamedov (Russia) – four-time Russian champion.

The fight ended with a split decision in favor of Kokosh (2 out of 3 votes).

In the co-main event, Russian fighter Darya Kuvalkina (2025 WKF world champion) defeated Moldovan Shtefania Tataru in a tense extra round.

The URAL KALI FIGHTER team showed a flawless result: 5 victories in 5 fights:

– Yury Bybochkin – dramatic victory over Islam Ibragimov, despite an injury in the first round; named fighter of the evening;

– Alexey Chukmanov – total domination;

– Vladislav Lapanik – victory in the extra round;

– Artem Shvetsov – knockout over the Belgian;

– Ivan Zinoviev – professional victory over Ali Sari.

The audience was also impressed by the brutal knockout by Uzbek fighter Sherzod Saidullo.
