Heavyweight hitters Gabriel Gonzaga (17-10) and Russian star Ruslan Magomedov (14-1) will collide at the Zagreb Arena as the Brazilian legend looks to put a stop to the Russian’s nine fight win streak.
Additionally involved in this historic event will be local MMA superstar Igor Pokajac (25-12) who will make his return to the Octagon as he faces Poland’s Jan Blachowicz (18-5) in a light heavyweight battle. Pokrajac is coming off three first round finishes and will be looking to make a statement against Blachowicz in his hometown.
“I’m honoured to fight in Zagreb in front of my countrymen,” commented Pokrajac. “The arena will be packed and knowing the Croatian audience it will be loud! I know I will bring a good fight for the fans and put on a show.”
