Bogdan Cristian Stoica (born January 28, 1990) is a Romanian kickboxer. He is one-time SUPERKOMBAT Cruiserweight Champion and also a two-time wushu national champion. Stoica has also competed in GLORY. As of 1 September 2016, he is ranked the #10 middleweight in the world by Combat Press.

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.

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.

On May 21, Stoica won the WAKO-PRO Intercontinental -88.6 kg Championship (K-1 rules). He landed a right knee to the head of Pacôme Assi in the third. The Frenchman took a standing eight count and the bout was summarily called off by the referee.

At "Bodyguardul - Forţele Speciale", he won the fight via quick knockout, the referee pulling Stoica away from Đurđević at around the 8 second mark.

He won the vacant 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.
