Serhii Adamchuk (born February 7, 1990) is a Ukrainian kickboxer. A professional competitor since 2008, Adamchuk is a former Glory featherweight champion and three time featherweight title challenger.[1][2]

Combat Press ranked him as a top ten featherweight kickboxer in the world between December 2015 and February 2017,[3][4] June 2018 and March 2019,[5][6] as well as between February 2021 and January 2022.[7][8] He peaked at #2 in July 2016.[9][10]

Kickboxing career[edit]

Glory[edit]

Early promotional career[edit]

Adamchuk made his Glory debut against the future lightweight champion Marat Grigorian at Glory 22: Lille on June 5, 2015, in the reserve bout of the 2015 Lightweight Contender Tournament. Adamchuk stepped in on a days' notice, having been offered the opportunity to face Grigorian just 24 hours before the fight was supposed to take place. He won the bout by unanimous decision.[11]

Adamchuk departed from Glory for his next bout, as he faced Kazuya Akimoto in the reserve match of the K-1 World GP 2015 -70kg Championship Tournament on July 4, 2015. He won the fight by split decision, with scores of 29–28, 29–30 and 30–29.[12]

Adamchuk faced Anvar Boynazarov at Bellator MMA & Glory: Dynamite 1, a Glory and Bellator MMA cross-promotional event, on September 19, 2015.[13] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[14]

Glory Featherweight champion[edit]

These three victories earned Adamchuk the right to challenge Gabriel Varga for the Glory Featherweight Championship. The title bout was scheduled as the main event of the Glory 25: Milan Superfight Series, which took place on November 6, 2015.[15] Adamchuk won the fight by unanimous decision.[16]

Adamchuk made his first title defense against Mosab Amrani, who had earned his right to challenge for the championship by winning the 2015 Glory Featherweight Contender tournament, at Glory 28: Paris on March 12, 2016.[17] He retained the title by unanimous decision.[18]

Adamchuk made his second title defense in a rematch with Gabriel Varga, whom he had previously beaten to capture the title, Glory 32: Virginia on July 22, 2016.[19] He lost the fight by majority decision, with scores of 48–47, 48–46 and 48–48.[20]

Second Glory title challenge[edit]

Adamchuk faced Giga Chikadze in the semifinals of the 2016 Featherweight Contender Tournament, held at Glory 33: New Jersey on September 9, 2016.[21] He lost the fight by split decision, with scores of 29–28, 29–28, 28–29.[22] Adamchuk participated in the 2017 Featherweight Contender Tournament as well, which was held at Glory 39: Brussels on March 25, 2017, and was booked to face Nafi Bilalovski in the semifinal bout.[23] Despite beating Bilalovski by unanimous decision, Adamchuk lost the final bout of the one-day tournament, as Petchpanomrung Kiatmookao beat him by split decision.[24]

Adamchuk next faced Dylan Salvador in a top contender bout at Glory 42: Paris on October 6, 2017. He won the fight by unanimous decision.[25] Beating Salvador earned Adamchuk his second title challenge opportunity, as he was booked to face Robin van Roosmalen for the Glory Featherweight Championship at Glory 45: Amsterdam on September 30, 2017.[26] He lost the fight by unanimous decision, with three judges scored the fight 48–47 for van Roosmalen, while the remaining two judges awarded him a 49–46 scorecard.[27]

Third Glory title challenge[edit]

On March 3, 2018, it was revealed that Glory would hold the 2018 Featherweight Contender Tournament at Glory 53: Lille on May 12, 2018. Adamchuk was booked to face Azize Hlali in the tournament semifinals, while the other pairing saw Victor Pinto face Buray Bozaryilmaz.[28] Adamchuk beat Hlali by unanimous decision, and advanced to the finals, where he faced Victor Pinto. Adamchuk won the tournament final by unanimous decision as well.[29]

After extending his winning streak to three consecutive fights with a unanimous decision win against Anvar Boynazarov at Glory 56: Denver on August 10, 2018, Adamchuk was awarded the opportunity to challenge the Glory Featherweight champion Petchpanomrung Kiatmookao, who had previously beaten Adamchuk by split decision at Glory 39: Brussels. The title bout was scheduled as the main event of Glory 63: Houston on February 1, 2019.[30] Petchpanomrung was more convincing in their second meeting, as he won the fight by unanimous decision, with all five judges awarding him a 50–45 scorecard.[31]

Fourth Glory title challenge[edit]

After failing in his third title bid, Adamchuk was booked to face Kevin VanNostrand at Glory 67: Orlando on July 5, 2019. He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[32] Adamchuk bounced back from this loss with a second-round technical knockout of Abraham Vidales at Glory 72: Chicago on November 23, 2019. It was his first stoppage victory since July 6, 2014. Adamchuk next faced Aleksei Ulianov at Glory Collision 2 on December 21, 2019. He won the fight by split decision.[33]

Adamchuk was booked to challenge Petchpanomrung Kiatmookao for the Glory Featherweight Championship at Glory 75: Utrecht on February 29, 2020. It was Adamchuk's fourth Glory title challenge and the third time that he fought Petchpanomrung, having already lost to him on two previous occasions.[34] Petchpanomrung won the fight by unanimous decision, with all five judges scoring the bout 49–45 in his favor.[35]
