Banović in front of the home crowd in Sarajevo: 'Face Smasher' at 'FNC 14' against Nikolić!
The audience at the Zetra Arena will be able to enjoy a duel between two top regional fighters
Watch on
Behind us is a great year, and what better way to end it than with a spectacle in Sarajevo. We bring you one new match on the FNC 14 card every day, and now we have a clash in the bantamweight category (-61 kg). Darko 'Face Smasher' Banović (32, 18-9) will welcome Serbian fighter Borislav Nikolić (30, 10-2) in his hometown.
These are two debutants in the FNC cage, and they both have impressive resumes. Banović has also fought in the Bellator cage, and he comes with the momentum of a victory against Junior Assis (34, 8-6) with a rear-naked choke in the first round. FNC returns to Bosnia and Herzegovina for the third time, and this will be the first appearance of a Bosnian-Herzegovinian fighter who trains and lives in Austria in front of the home crowd.

Nikolić was supposed to compete in FNC before, but some things didn't work out. However, Borislav is now preparing for Sarajevo, where he will face the biggest challenge of his career after winning against Ali Guliev (7-1) in Brave. He is in his prime fighting years, just like his opponent, and we can certainly expect an exciting clash.
Tickets will be available soon, and just a reminder, the event is scheduled for December 16th in the Zetra Arena in Sarajevo.
