This time FFC decided to raise the bar even higher and made sure to bring another huge name to its ring on this special occasion – Glory champion Robin Van Roosmalen, FFC’s brightest star and one of the best kickboxers in the world. The Dutch fighter will make his third MMA bout at FFC after he won his previous MMA fights via impressive KO’s. Van Roosmalen is also fighting under Glory’s banner where he recently regained the featherweight belt and proved he is one of the best stand-up fighters nowadays. The name of his opponent has not been disclosed yet, but FFC officials hinted Van Roosmalen could get an Austrian foe.
Rene Wimmer – Linz’s favorite
At FFC 30, the audience will again have the chance to see their favorite local fighter Rene Wimmer. At the same venue in 2016, Wimmer scored the biggest win of his career.
