Last year, he announced it, and this year, he will make it happen. At FNC 15, Miran 'Slo Rocky' Fabjan (39, 6-3) revealed that he would celebrate his 40th birthday inside the cage of the best MMA promotion in Southeastern Europe, and he will do just that on April 12 in the main event of FNC 22 against the dangerous Polish fighter Michal 'MMAsakra' Kita (44, 22-15-1) in the biggest combat sports event ever seen in Slovenia! Fabjan will try to gift himself a victory in the most spectacular way, while the Polish fighter has already promised that the fight won't be boring—it will end by knockout.
The event will also feature a heavyweight showdown between the biggest signing in FNC history, Ante Delija (34, 24-6), who will make his FNC debut against Yorgan de Castro (37, 12-6). The two were originally supposed to fight in PFL two years ago, but now they finally get the chance to face off.
A title fight is also coming to Ljubljana, as Francisco 'Croata' Barrio (35, 14-4) will defend his lightweight belt against the surging contender Antun 'Killer' Račić (34, 28-12-1) in the co-main event. The audience will also witness PFL Europe tournament winner and Slovenia's top light heavyweight Jakob Nedoh (28, 8-3) take on former UFC fighter Tom Breese (33, 19-6).
Last year, we saw an incredible bare-knuckle fight between Uroš Jurišić and Joelson Demente, where the local fighter emerged victorious after five rounds of a bloody war. This time, regional MMA legend Bojan 'Želva' Kosednar (41, 0-1) will box without gloves against the tough Brazilian Alexandre 'Lek Lek' Ribeiro (32, 0-2).
Rising fighters like Aleksandr Drabinca (25, 1-0), Tiriel Luka Abramović (23, 1-0), Dino Suljkanović (24, 3-1), Tomislav 'Gegan' Sičaja (26, 5-0), and Andres Ramos (31, 5-1) will also be in action. Tickets are available through Eventim, and the event is set for Saturday, April 12, starting at 7 PM at Arena Stožice in Ljubljana.
