FFC 6: Miran Fabjan to face Zelg’s dangerous lion!

Final Championship 6, which is to be held on June 14 in Porec in its marvelous new venue Zatika will treat combat sports fans with a number of fantastic matchups.

After the duel of two great Croatian K-1 middleweights – the super-experienced Emil Zoraj and the extremely talented Zlatko Bajic – in the FFC 4 ring, another great matchup awaits us in the same weight class under K-1 rules. As learned by Fight Site, arrangements have been made to bring in the best Slovenian kickboxer, Miran Fabjan, with Ivan Bilic on the other side of the ring.

Fabjan is a fighter who needs no special introduction, as he's been at the top of the regional kickboxing scene for a number of years now, and his attractive and uncompromising style always thrills the crowds, which gives us reason to believe that it will be the same case at FFC 6. For the last two months he's been recovering from a serious neck injury, which forced him to cancel his fight against Zoraj in the prestige part of the K-1 World Grand Prix Final in Zagreb, but now he'll be completely ready to get back in action.

Young Ivan Bilic is a name pronounced with a growing respect by opponents lately, and while he still doesn't have a lot of experience in professional fighting, his numerous titles and a wealth of experience in amateur fights definitely rank him among the Croatian K-1 elite in the under-81 kg weight class, and he can go very far with the help of his coach Zelg Galesic.

It is believed that the winner of this bout could get a chance to fight Emil Zoraj in the second half of the year, and this could especially be true in the case that Fabjan wins. As a reminder, in his recent forecast for the Zoraj vs Bajic fight, Miran used the opportunity to challenge the winner to a fight in advance. "After the summer, I'm planning to challenge the winner of this fight to face me at an FFC event. It would be great if it could be a title fight in the FFC's under-81 kg division. There'd definitely be plenty of action in the ring," Miran said on the occasion.

It has already been announced that the main event at FFC 6 will be Igor Jurkovic vs Dzevad Poturak, and it will be preceded by an MMA fight between Emil Poljak and Dorijan Ilic.
