Watch on
In the final of the first season of the 'Fight of Nations' reality show at the FNC 19 event in Pula Arena, Marko Ančić (21, 1-0) defeated Vojo Katanović (22, 4-5). Ančić was initially scheduled to face Macedonian fighter with an Italian address, Samir Sadikov (1-1), at FNC 21 in Zadar. However, Sadikov withdrew from the fight, and Marko will now face a new opponent, German fighter Sami Zarabi (24, 4-2).

This will undoubtedly be a big challenge for Marko, as his opponent is coming off a loss, but that fight took place in the welterweight division, whereas he previously competed in featherweight. He has a victory in Oktagon, but in his professional career, he has yet to face a grappler of Marko's caliber.
As a reminder, the event is scheduled for Saturday, February 15, starting at 7 PM, at the Krešimir Ćosić Arena in Zadar, popularly known as Višnjik. Tickets are available via the Eventim system.
