As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, on Wednesday, the first man of the Fight Nation Championship, Drazen Forgac, and Matej Filipcic, the director of marketing and martial arts promotion, visited Pula, local portal Glas Istre reports.
The kickstarter was a conversation with city’s leading names in the company of Zelg Galesic, the coach of the Pula Trojan, and the reason was the desire of the organisers of martial arts events who are continuing to break all ratings records in the entire region, to hold something similar in the Pula Arena.
The date of September the 3rd has been set, and since the City of Pula gave its full support to the event behind which American investors are ready to invest a lot of money in the organisation to make the Pula Arena look spectacular that day, we should expect official confirmation of this event to come in soon.
On the sporting side of the matter alone, it would definitely be a hit, because through several editions of ”Gladiator Fight Night” in Pula and Medulin we could see precisely how many freestyle wrestling fans there are in this area, and with the Fight Nation Championship as a strong support, it would all rise together to another, much higher level.
Quality fighters would perform in the unique ambience of the ancient Pula Arena, and an additional lure for visitors would be Daniel Bazant. The member of the Pula Trojan should have his first defense of the Fight Nation Championship lightweight champion’s belt in Pula, which he won two months ago in Zabok by defeating Brazilian Rony Mariano Bezerra.
“If the Fight Nation Championship comes to the Pula Arena, Bazant will certainly perform, and his opponent will be a well-known face from martial arts. I wouldn’t want to come out with the name of said individual because the contract hasn’t been signed yet and so far everything has only been agreed orally, the only thing I can say is that he is a former UFC fighter,” said Zelg Galesic, revealing that Bazant will not be the only ”Trojan” in Pula’s fight card.
