This match has been anticipated: Marko Bojković faces Brazilian Ananias in front of his home crowd
The young Serbian fighter is facing the biggest challenge of his career, and it's the first time in front of his home crowd
Watch on
The wait is over. The opponent Marko Bojković (21, 4-0), the biggest regional MMA prospect, will face at the FNC 13 event in Belgrade, is Brazilian fighter Lucas Ananias (28, 15-5), a member of the renowned Nova Uniao team and a sparring partner to former UFC champion Jose Aldo (37, 31-8).
Marko needs little introduction. He is an uncompromising fighter who has already had some heated exchanges with his upcoming opponent on social media. Allegedly, the Brazilian showed disrespect towards Marko's coach, Ivan 'Icko' Đorđević, which gives Marko an extra incentive. Additionally, this will be his first appearance in front of his home crowd.

On the other side stands a fighter with a black belt in BJJ, but he prefers striking. It remains to be seen what he has prepared for Marko. He boasts 15 victories in the professional world and has competed for the title in the prestigious Brazilian promotion, Shoto. He lost to Thiago Silva (37, 24-13) via submission in the fifth round of their fight.
