The new main fight of the FNC 9 show: Ribeiro has problems with corona, a young Brazilian arrives to fight with Pejić
This young Brazilian had a fighting string of eight victories and was undefeated for five years.
Watch on
The ninth FNC show in Sisak was supposed to be led by Filip 'Nitro' Pejić (30, 15-7-2) from the American Top Team Zagreb against Brazilian Arlen 'Benks' Ribeiro (31, 12-4), but 'Benks' tested positive for COVID and cannot come to the event. However, Fight Nation Championship reacted quickly and found a replacement, and Marcos Vinicius Costa (23, 11-6) will arrive in Sisak.
It is about a young Brazilian fighter who, before going to the last match in Brave, did not know a defeat for five years, and then he had a string of eight victories. He almost never leaves the decision in the hands of the judges, and he arrives in Croatia for the biggest 'scalp' of his career.
As for Filip, it will be his first fight in the lightweight category (-70 kg), as well as his debut in the fastest growing regional MMA organization. All this awaits us as the icing on the cake of not only a great martial arts year behind FNC, but also as the main fight of the FNC 9 event, which is scheduled for Friday, December 23, starting at 7 p.m. in SD Zeleni Brijeg in Sisak. You can buy tickets through the Eventim system and at all authorized Petrol gas stations.
