FFC two-division champ Samo Petje gets an opponent for FFC 30

Samo Petje is back! FFC’s first two-division champion is to fight again at FFC 30 that is to take place in Linz, Austria, on October 21.

After being brutally KO’ed in Athens in 2016 by Meletis Kakoubavas, Samo Petje successfully returned at FFC 26 Linz! Since then he scored nothing but wins. He retaliated for the devastating loss in one of the most anticipated FFC rematches this year and then challenged FFC welterweight champion Eyevan Danenberg whom he defeated at FFC in his hometown of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Now as a two-division champion Samo Petje is to fight again in the FFC ring. This time his opponent will be young Romanian prospect Eduard Chelariu. Despite the fact that this will be Chelariu’s FFC debut, this young fighter already has 11 professional bouts under his belt as well as 8 wins. He polished his skills in SuperKombat.

The two will fight at catch weight of 72 kg and there is no doubt that Petje and Chelariu will be ready for real war in the ring this October!
