In the semifinals Jurkoviĉ KO-ed Frédéric Sinatra (Belgium) in the 3rd round, and in the final fight of the tournament he beat Muhammad Magomedov (Russia, Scorpio Gym) via 3-0 judge decision - though the reports say that Magmodev dominated the fight he was punished because of his constant mulitple knees use.

Stipe Drvi defends EBU title
in the Light-heavyweight division tonight in Munich
First of all - Congratulations! As expected Stipe Drews/Drvi bored us to unanimous judge decision (119-108, 118-109, 117-110) against Kai Kurzawa who showed up in a surprisingly bad form. Stipe and rest of us: after another "not-so-good" opponent - we wanna see him fighting against some top ranked fighter in his division - f.e. - Clinton Woods of UK, Adrian Danciou of Canada, Thomas Urlich of Germany, or his rematch vs Paul Briggs of Australia. In my opinon Zsolt Erdei (Hungary), Antonio Tarver and Chad Dawson (both USA) or Thomas Adamek (Poland) would be too much for Stipe right now.

my 2 cents:
- Now everyone could realize how big was WFC Tournament in Koper: Evangelista Cyborg & Edson Drago - after their wins in Koper they've signed with Pride FC and Pride put them on their next card. I wish that on some future Pride fighting card I'll see another winner from Koper - Damir Mireniĉ. People from Cro Cop Team and Ken Imai should do more to help him in reaching this goal.
- One other thing about the card - polish judo champion Pawel Nastula is on it. Last time he was fighting in Pride FC - unlike Nov@TV - Pol-Sport Satelite Channel was broadcasting whole event live, so 1+1 = ...
