The fighter from Belgrade's Fight Company had been recovering from a broken arm, and regional MMA fans were eager to see him in the FNC cage. He himself mentioned that he was ready to take that step and was waiting for an offer. The offer came, and the deal is done - 'Joker' will soon be back in the cage! He has signed a multi-fight contract.

His last fight took place in December of last year, when he lost at the end of the first round against sports legend Alexander Shlemenko (40, 66-15-1). It's worth noting that in 2022, he spectacularly knocked Shlemenko out with a knee to the head after just 21 seconds. Since then, many potential opponents have been mentioned for him.
Who his next opponent will be remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: 'Joker' is the newest addition to the FNC roster, and a big fight is surely on the horizon. As they would say further west, stay tuned...
