This matchup has been talked about for a long time, and finally, it will happen in the cage at the Ahilej FNC 17 Meridianbet Epic Clash in Belgrade
Watch on
The last time the FNC middleweight title was at stake was at the stellar FNC 11 event in the Zagreb Arena last year, and champion Đani Barbir (26, 6-0) is returning to his familiar cage. After successfully defending his title in the Croatian capital, he'll attempt to do the same in the Serbian territory at the Ahilej FNC 17 Meridianbet Epic Clash, facing off against the hometown fighter Nemanja ‘Koba’ Nikolić (32, 10-1-1)!
This will also be a showdown for the Car Dušan Silni team from Novi Sad, where the reigning champion of the best MMA organization in Southeast Europe has been training for some time. With six career victories, he aims to continue his unbeaten streak on foreign soil. The matchup against ‘Koba’ has been a topic of interest for Barbir for some time, and when the opportunity arose, there was no question about whether he wanted to step into the cage.
