Watch on
In early February, Slovenia’s strongest MMA organization, VFN, officially became part of the FNC family, and under the new name 'FNC Knockout,' a new era of mixed martial arts has begun in the region! Expect more events, more excitement, and more opportunities for fighters to prove themselves, with a great launching pad for what is the dream of many - a chance to perform at a Fight Nation Championship spectacle on the big stage!
To show them the way to the biggest stage, some big names will feature at the first FNC Knockout event, taking place on Saturday, May 3, 2025, in Medulin at the Sports Hall Dr. Mate Demarina! The honor of leading the first Knockout event will go to fighters in the bantamweight division.
A major addition to the card, former EMC champion and Cage Warriors veteran Stipe 'Checkmate' Brčić (32, 11-5) will make his FNC debut in the cage against Serbian fighter Nikola Đurđev (27, 6-3), whose history with FNC dates back to the first season of 'Armagedon.' The main event of the evening will be in the bantamweight division.
The card will feature many young fighters eager to prove themselves, as well as some well-known names such as former FNC featherweight champion Daniel Bažant (33, 7-7), top Croatian fighter Sara Luzar Smajić (29, 4-3), the returning Ilija Brkan (24, 3-3), Fight of Nations reality show season one finalist Vojo Katanović (23, 4-5), and many others.
We can expect another top-tier MMA evening, and tickets are already available for sale via the Eventim platform. For those unable to attend the event in person, the broadcast will be available through the Voyo platform and PPV for a price of 4.99 euros on the FNC.tv platform.
