Bogdan Cristian Stoica (born January 28, 1990 in Bucharest) is a Romanian kickboxer fighting in the SUPERKOMBAT Fighting Championship where he is a one-time SUPERKOMBAT Cruiserweight Champion.
Stoica is known to wear shorts with extra slits on his shorts for better movement. He is also known for his flying kicks, knee attacks and axe-kick, a kick that is characterized by a straightened leg descending onto an opponent like the blade of an axe.
Career
Early career
Bogdan Stoica made his SUPERKOMBAT debut against the brother of Dževad Poturak, Dženan, with a knockout in an event which took place in Sibiu, Romania. In February 2011, he scored smashing first-round knockout over experienced Muay Thai fighter trained by Remy Bonjasky, Fred Sikking, which was the biggest win of his kickboxing career. This loss earned Sikking the second KO of his career in over 50 fights. The event took place in Sofia, Bulgaria.[1]
Intercontinental champion
On May 21, Stoica won the WAKO-PRO Intercontinental Cruiserweight Championship (K-1 rules). He landed a right knee to the head of Pacome Assi in the third. The Frenchman took a standing eight count and the bout was summarily called off by the referee.[2][3]
Fastest knockout in the Local Kombat
At "Bodyguardul - Forţele Speciale", he won the fight via quick knockout, the referee pulling Stoica away from Đurđević at around the 8 second mark.[4]
World champion
He won the SUPERKOMBAT Cruiserweight Championship by defeating WBC Muay Thai champion Ivan Stanić. Stoica looked outstanding, dropping Stanić 3 times en route to winning the belt and landing some beautiful flying knees. The Romanian even flew over the top rope and out of the ring with a flying knee attempt. Stanić showed heart by coming forward the whole time but Stoica closed his eye and took over, winning a unanimous decision in completely overwhelming fashion.[5]
Motorcycle injury
On July 18, 2012, Stoica was struck by a car coming out from the side. He tried to avoid contact by veering sharply away from the car and ended up slamming into the asphalt. The accident caused him a severe back injury. After a week or so, Stoica was out of the hospital. His full recovery could take up to six months.[6] He resumed training in November 2012.[7]
Return
He was set to make K-1 debut on his return to the ring in 2013.[8] He instead made a successful comeback by knocking out Romano Romasco in round two at SUPERKOMBAT World Grand Prix I in Oradea, Romania on April 6, 2013.[9][10]
Stoica will beat Iranian veteran and gold medalist at World Martial Arts Festival, Eisa Ramezani, by unanimous decision at SUPERKOMBAT New Heroes 4 in Dubai, UAE on May 31, 2013.[11][12][13]
He defeated Marsan Yohan via TKO due to a cut in just 25 seconds at SUPERKOMBAT New Heroes 5 in Târgoviște, Romania on August 30, 2013.[14][15]
He KOed Amir Zeyada in round one at SUPERKOMBAT World Grand Prix 2013 IV in Giurgiu, Romania on October 12, 2013.[16][17][18]
He lost the SUPERKOMBAT Cruiserweight (-92 kg/202 lb) Championship against Igor Bugaenko when he lost by unanimous decision at the SUPERKOMBAT World Grand Prix 2013 Final in Galați, Romania on December 21, 2013.[19]
