The Pula Arena was built over 2,000 years ago by the Romans in the beautiful coastal town of Pula in Croatia. Much like the Colosseum in Rome, it played host to gladiator battles over hundred of years, and it is one of the biggest remaining Roman amphitheaters still in existence today.
On September 2, the gladiators return to the Pula Arena for a showcase event like no other in the world, and Fight Nation Championship, the biggest MMA promotion in the region, will host another event in the iconic venue.
Headlining FNC 12 will be a heavyweight title fight between champion Ivan Vitasovic (11-5-1) and heavyweight destroyer Michal Andryszak (22-5).
Hailing from Pula, Vitasovic is trained by the legendary PRIDE and DREAM veteran Zelg Galesic. The 31-year-old is currently on a five-fight win streak, which includes notable stoppage victories over MMA veterans Geronimo dos Santos and Oli Thompson.
However, now he goes up against one of the most feared heavyweights in Europe. Andryszak possesses a 100 percent finishing ratio and is known for his devastating first-round stoppages. The 31-year-old is also a former KSW heavyweight title contender and comes into this bout on a three-fight win-streak.
FNC 12 will be available to watch live around the world on FNC.tv.
