FNC 24: Vitasović defends the title against Stošić, Rocky vs Joker 2
The heavyweight champion returns in a top-level clash against 'The Hammer', and we're also in for several more title fights and the finale of FON Season 2
Watch on
We’ve just witnessed the biggest spectacle in the history of Fight Nation Championship - FNC 23 in Belgrade shattered all viewership records and raised the bar higher than ever before. The fights are still being talked about, and after Southeast Europe's leading MMA organization sold out the Arena in the Serbian capital, it’s now preparing for the same scenario in Croatia’s capital. FNC 24 is coming to Zagreb Arena on September 6th – and it’s bringing even more intensity!
The audience can expect more of everything - more fights, more adrenaline, more spectacle – and that’s confirmed by the evening’s main event. In Belgrade, an injury stopped him, but now he’s coming back stronger than ever - Darko “The Hammer” Stošić (33, 21-7) is heading to Zagreb with one clear goal: winning the heavyweight title! His return to the FNC cage will also mark the long-awaited comeback of heavyweight champion Ivan Vitasović (33, 13-6-1), who is returning after two years to defend his belt!

It will be ten years since their first clash, when they were both still at the beginning of their careers. Back then, Stošić won by first-round knockout. Today, they’re two seasoned, fully-formed fighters at the peak of their powers – and everything points to an epic title bout. This will be Vitasović’s third title defense, and he’ll be joined in the Arena by his teammate - Miran “Slo Rocky” Fabjan (40, 7-4), one of the coaches in the upcoming second season of the reality show Fight of Nations.
On the other side of the cage, just like last year in Zagreb Arena, will be Aleksandar “Joker” Ilić (36, 16-7). The Slovenian won that bout via TKO in the second round, and now it’s time for the rematch – with much higher stakes. This time, the outcome of their fight could determine the fate of an entire team – will victory go to Fabjan’s “Slo Rocky” crew or to Joker’s team?
It’s set to be another unforgettable night, brought to you by Fight Nation Championship, and many more top-tier matchups will soon be announced. This is just the beginning. Tickets are on sale now via the Eventim platform.
