FNC 10 arrives in Ljubuški: 'Croata' against 'Benks' for the lightweight title!

The tenth event of the Fight Nation Championship is scheduled for one month, March 4 to be exact, and FNC will go outside Croatia for the first time. And to Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is, LjubuškI. Some domestic fighters have already been announced, and the first officially presented match is a real treat. Francisco 'Croata' Barrio (33, 10-3) and Brazilian Arlen 'Benks' Ribeiro (31, 12-4) will fight for the lightweight belt!

The Argentinian-Croatian fighter returns to the FNC cage after two fights in Poland's KSW. Let's remind you, he celebrated there last May against Lukasz Rajewski (33, 12-8-1) by choking in the second round, while in November he lost by knockout in the third round against Maciej Kazieczko (29, 9-2). He has three wins in FNC – against Adi Duraković at FNC 2, Aleksander Janković (28, 14-12-1) at FNC 3 and against Vasa Bakočević (33, 42-23-1).

We were supposed to see his opponent at the FNC 9 event in Sisak against Filip 'Nitra' Pejić (30, 17-7-2), but due to the problem with the corona virus, he canceled the performance. We met him at the spectacular FNC 7 event in Pula, where he won by choke in the first round against Kerker Silva (35, 6-4).

The FNC amateur tournament is scheduled for this weekend, and in a month the professionals will take the stage. Tickets will also go on sale soon, and those who will not be able to watch the event live from the hall will be able to do so via PPV.
