GREAT MMA DAY

We have six new tournament winners from the third edition of FNC Vikings powered by SuperSport

We saw some excellent fights in the amateur part of the event, but the best was yet to come in the finals

After a full day of top-level MMA action at Zagreb’s American Top Team gym with the FNC Vikings 3 powered by SuperSport event, six new winners were crowned in the elite amateur tournament.

The finals got off to an explosive start as Italy’s Francesco Calandra claimed the bantamweight title with a TKO victory over Danijel Grbić. The featherweight final followed, with Rinat Bielaliev defeating Daniel Illes by split decision after three hard-fought rounds.

The lightweight final also went the distance, with Ulubiy Gadzhiev earning a unanimous decision victory over Ermal Berisha. Another TKO came late in the second round of the welterweight final, as Rachim Isaev finished Moseke Becke.

The middleweight final delivered another three-round war. Bohdan Bohodiuk emerged victorious, defeating Kee Regisford by unanimous decision. The final bout of the tournament was also the shortest. Marc Klostermann submitted Mihael Đuka with a choke in the first round to become the light heavyweight tournament champion.
