Ukraine’s strongest fighters from the Security and Defence Forces: Automagistral-Pivden supports the Hard Combat tournament!
Hard Combat is a Ukrainian combat sports league that organizes spectacular professional tournaments in mixed martial arts and boxing.
The league’s signature feature is a unique team fighting format rarely seen in competitions worldwide – 2 vs. 2, where athletes compete in team-based bouts.
Hard Combat was founded by representatives of Ukraine’s Defence and Security Forces. The league’s tournaments bring together top fighters from military and law enforcement special units, competing against world-class athletes.
Automagistral-Pivden consistently supports Ukraine’s Defence Forces. As part of this commitment, the company sponsored the anniversary Hard Combat tournament in the city of Novoukrainka, Kirovohrad Region, marking five years since the project was launched.
A total of 9 bouts took place – 5 K-Combat fights and 4 Hard Combat 2 vs. 2 team bouts. The tournament featured 18 fighters, including representatives of the operational units of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), National Police officers, and final-year cadets of the Institute of Air Assault and Naval Infantry Forces of the Odesa Military Academy.
Two fighters travelled to the tournament from Türkiye: Murat Avci “Iron” (90 kg) – a two-time Muay Thai world champion – and Ibrahim Halil Yalcin (70 kg), a renowned professional fighter and winner of numerous international professional tournaments.
