Every time viewers see the name of Shlemenko in the title of a video, they have the right to count on a powerful shock video with a mandatory knockout in the final. After all, a distinctive feature of Alexander and his students is, of course, an excellent percussion technique.

On December 10, 2010, the M-1 Challenge 22 tournament was held in Moscow. In one of the fights, the still very young Alexander Sarnavsky, nicknamed the Tiger, after a furious victory over the Dutch fighter Viktor Kuku, entered the ring for the 12th consecutive victory in his professional career.
He was opposed by the winner of the Black Sea Pankration Cup and the finalist of the Eastern European Grand Prix Arsen Ubaidulaev from the Legion club. His main weapon was freestyle wrestling and excellent ground wrestling skills.
