The big event for the end of the year: Pejić debuts in FNC, Kosić returns, and Vrtačić goes to Bosančić!
'Nitro' has decided that he will no longer fight in the featherweight division, so we will see him not only in his debut in the FNC cage, but also in his debut in a new division.
Watch on
Filip 'Nitro' Pejić (30, 15-7-2) vs. Arlen 'Benks' Ribeiro (31, 12-4), Jakob Kosić (27, 2-2) vs. Đorđe Bukvić (23,3-2), Andi Vrtačić (28, 2-1) against Matija Bosančić (22, 2-0). If these are just some of the matches that await us at the upcoming, ninth event of the Fight Nation Championship in December, we will certainly be watching a real spectacle for the end of the year!
After a nose operation, his debut in FNC will be made by 'Nitro', an uncompromising fighter who is looking for a comeback after three defeats in the cage of the Polish KSW. He does not choose his opponents, so this time the very dangerous Brazilian Arlen 'Benks' Ribeiro (31, 12-4) will be waiting for him, whom we met at a spectacular event in Pula, where he won by choke in the first round against Kerker Silva (35, 6-4). .
The co-title fight of the evening will also be the return of the boy from Trnsko to the cage after a year and a half. And Jakob Kosić will have anything but an easy task, because he will face the unpleasant Đorđe Bukvić, who has two wins and one loss in FNC and is certainly claiming to be at the top of the category that does not yet have a crowned champion. This duo is the owner of the organization's knockout of the year title – in 2020 Kosić won it for his knockout against Rifat Prušević, and last year it was Bukvic's knockout against Aleksandar Mihailović (24, 3-2), whose return was also announced by FNC.
There's also a middleweight match where a former title challenger goes up against an up-and-coming young hopeful. There is a big stake in front of them – this is a new big test for Andi and a possible express return to the challenger position, while it is Matija who many fans classify as a possible next challenger for the title held by Đani Barbir (25, 5-0).
This is just part of what FNC is bringing as a treat for the end of the year, and we will soon find out where we can watch it. The spectacle is guaranteed, and we will have real fireworks even before the New Year!
