Ciobanu made his first appearance in K-1 in 2009 during the K-1 World Grand Prix 2009 in Tokyo Final 16 Qualifying GP, where he faced Sergei Lascenko. A significant milestone in his career was achieving second place at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 in Bucharest, highlighted by an impressive knockout win over Mighty Mo.
Within Superkombat, he secured a points victory against Dževad Poturak at SuperKombat World Grand Prix 2012 IV held in Arad, Romania. This win granted him a wild card entry into the SuperKombat Final Elimination event in November. During the quarter-finals, Ciobanu edged out Roman Kleibl via split decision but was forced to retire due to a cut, resulting in a TKO loss to Ismael Londt in the semi-finals of the SuperKombat World Grand Prix 2012 Final hosted in Bucharest.
On May 18, 2013, at SuperKombat World Grand Prix 10 in Craiova, Ciobanu triumphed over Vladimir Toktasynov by unanimous decision and later won a contentious unanimous decision after an extension round against Frank Muñoz. Later that year, he experienced a knockout defeat in the third round to Redouan Cairo during SuperKombat World Grand Prix 2013 IV in Giurgiu.
