Watch on
It was supposed to be the Fight of Nations finale, but the coach of ‘Team Slo Rocky,’ Miran Fabjan (40, 7-4), has withdrawn due to injury, and that matchup will be postponed for another time.
However, Aleksandar ‘Joker’ Ilić (36, 16-7) won’t be left without a fight - the Serbian fighter will still step into the cage at the FNC 24 spectacle in Zagreb Arena.
