Ivan Sičaja is also on the FNC 16 card! He faces a big challenge against a more experienced German fighter
In Medulin, Ivan will face his biggest challenge yet as he squares off against the formidable Özyildirim
Watch on
After securing a victory against Nemanja Todorović (22, 4-2) at FNC 14 in Sarajevo by a majority decision, Ivan 'Tirke' Sičaja (30, 4-1) is returning to the Fight Nation Championship cage! We will see him at FNC 16 in Medulin, where he will face German fighter Mert Özyildirim (30, 10-5).
The fighter from the Zagreb-based American Top Team will face his biggest challenge yet after his loss to the recent title challenger in the featherweight category, Itay 'Farmer' Tratner (23, 9-6-1), last July. He returned with a victory in Sarajevo, and Ivan, whose last four professional fights ended in a judges' decision, is up against a fighter who excels in ground finishes.

As for Ozyildirim, his last time in the cage was a year ago when he lost by submission in the second round to former PFL and KSW fighter Max Coga (34, 26-8-1). In his career, he has 10 victories, including five by submission and four by judges' decision, indicating that we can expect a tough match.
As a reminder, the event is scheduled for Sunday, May 5th, starting at 7:00 PM at the Sports Hall Dr. Mate Demarin in Medulin. Tickets are available for purchase through the Eventim system and at all Petrol gas stations.
