UFC have today announced the first four bouts to be included in the organisation’s debut event in Croatia on Sunday, April 10 at Zagreb Arena. Tickets for UFC FIGHT NIGHT ZAGREB will go on general sale on Friday, February 12.

Heavyweight hitters Gabriel Gonzaga (17-10) and 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.

Also featured in this historic event will be local MMA superstar Igor Pokrajac (25-12-1) who will make his return to the Octagon when 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.”

After a spectacular debut at UFC FIGHT NIGHT: DOS ANJOS VS. COWBOY 2 in December, French heavyweight Francis Ngannou (6-1) will welcome Serbian Bojan Mihajiovic (10-3) into the Octagon. With none of his fights ever reaching the final round, Ngannou will be eager to add another quick finish to his record in Zagreb.

Undefeated Nicholas Dalby (14-0-1) will be looking to add another victory to his record as his takes on Polish fighter Bartosz Fabinksi (13-2) in an exciting match-up between two European middleweight prospects.
