19 victories in 19 fights! And only twice did the opponents manage to hold out against him the entire battle distance! In 2012, a young student of Shlemenko, Alexander Sarnavsky, nicknamed the Tiger, was considered one of the top and most spectacular Russian lightweights. He won in a variety of Russian arenas and his path lay overseas.
But in order to finally formalize this transition, Alexander had to win the twentieth anniversary victory in order to beautifully and spectacularly, literally open the door to the Bellator promotion cage.
On May 26, at the Mayor’s Cup tournament in Khabarovsk, the Russian prospect was confronted by the Spanish mixed martial arts champion Mikel Bassera, who had 15 professional fights under his belt in various European promotions.
