Watch on
For the second time, Fight Nation Championship arrived in Ljubljana at Arena Stožice, recording the second-highest gate in the organization’s history. As a thank you, the audience was treated to 10 top-tier fights. In the main event of the spectacular evening, Miran “Slo Rocky” Fabjan (40, 7-3) celebrated his 40th birthday with a first-round knockout victory over Michal “MMasakra” Kita (44, 22-16-1), and already set his sights on a new target - Ante “Walking Trouble” Delija (34, 25-6), who returned from injury with a bang, knocking out Yorgan De Castro (37, 12-7) in just 47 seconds.
Francisco “Croata” Barrio (35, 15-4) defended his lightweight title with a first-round choke submission over Antun Račić (34, 28-13-1). The crowd reacted to an early stoppage by the referee in the Jakob “Gorilla” Nedoh (28, 8-4) vs. Tom Breese (33, 20-6) fight, but the controversy was cleared up when Nedoh admitted he had tapped.
Rafael Hudson (34, 2-1) earned a majority decision win in a bare-knuckle boxing match against fan favorite Bojan “Želva” Kosednar (41, 0-3), while Andres Ramos (31, 6-1) secured a unanimous decision over Valeri Atanasov (36, 3-1).
One of the biggest upsets came from Simeon Karslidis (27, 8-1), who submitted Tomislav Sičaja (26, 5-1) with an armbar in the first round. David Travniček (30, 5-1) also impressed with a second-round armbar finish of Dino Suljkanović (24, 3-1). Tiriel Luka Abramović (23, 2-0) delivered a first-round knockout of Wojciech Kacprzyk (36, 1-2), while Alexandr Drabinca (25, 2-0) opened the night with a knockout victory over Pawel Oleszczuk (33, 3-1).
