Sukošan Fight Night Report
fights:
IGOR POKRAJAC (CROCOP TEAM) vs LUKASZ JURKOWSKI JURAS (Poljska)
winner: Pokrajac via judge decision
This was the fight of the night not just because it was announced as one. Pokrajac payback against Juras was worthy of watching it. And for the first time I may say that I was impressed by Pokrajac performance in a positive way.
SAŠA MUČNJAK (CROCOP TEAM) vs BRANISLAV ZEMAN (Brazilian Combat Team Slovakia)
winner: Mučnjak via 1st rd TKO
Mučnjak made a really nice come-back in this one, after Zeman domination which ended with him stayed out of gas, Mučnjak took over the fight. A good win for Saša
HRVOJE KIŠIČEK (CROCOP TEAM) vs MARO PERAK (UFC "Gladiator" Dubrovnik)
winner: Perak via 2nd rd armbar
As far as I know this fight was mma debut for Kišiček, who is a talented kickboxer, and therefore he couldn't had tougher task than to face a former croatian judo champion Maro Perak, and Kišiček made just a one little mistake, and he was punished. But it's fair to say that Perak deserved this one, he was better fighter from the 1st second of the fight, and he proved that he needs to fight on a higher level.
MARIO MARIJANOVIĆ (Gracie Barra Mostar) vs IVAN BRKLJAČA (KBK «Croatia» Zadar)
winner: Brkljača via 1st rd TKO
Too bad that early un-neccessary injury ended this fight.
DUŠAN/ILJA SKONDRIČ (Brazilian Combat Team Slovakia) vs DORIAN ILIĆ (Piranya gym)
winner: Skondrić via 1st rd TKO
Ilić showed that he's got a heart, anything else was on Skondric side.
DRAŽEN GLAVAŠ (NOKAUT TEAM) vs MILAN VUKŠIĆ (Megacentar Rijeka)
winner: Vukšić via 2nd rd towel thrown
Vukušić showed more skills and more will than Glavaš, and it seems more condition too - because Glavaš corner decided to re-draw their fighter just before the start of the 2nd round
DANIJEL MRKOCI (KBK "Kutina") vs ALEN BEŠIREVIĆ(ŠABANOVIĆ???) (UFC "Gladiator" Dubrovnik)
winner: Alen via 1st rd guillotine choke
It's very sad to watch former kickboxing prospect and champion Mrkoci ruining his reputation only because he didn't find enough time to work on his ground skills, a deserved win for Alen.
SAŠA VASILIĆ (Zagreb) vs MICHAL STANISLAWSKI (Poljska)
winner: Stanislawski via 1st rd TKO
Nothing much too say; this was one way street. Stanislawski put up a nice performance and gave Vasilić a decent mma-lecture.
K-1 bout
MARKO BENZON (Pitbull) vs NIKOLA PALADA (Terminator)
winner: Benzon via judge decision
A very exciting fight and also a very tied fight which could ended in both directions. In my opinion Benzon won just because he looked better in the ring.
All in all, it was a surprisingly nice event, considering the changes in the fight card and the time & the place of this event.
A little stadium in Sukošan was full of people, and all of us were having a great time watching the fights. Match-ups were good and most of the fights were very excited.
It was a very good night for all mma fans and for promotor of the event Slaven Vujić.
Two thing I'd like to point out though...
- one is positive - referee: Slaven Planinić, once again showed that he knows and he understands the sport, it's a real pleasure to watch the fights when he's in charge.
- and other one is negative - ring: Well, the ring in general looked too small for mma fights, but the ropes were a real disaster, one fighter got injured because of it, and in a few occassions we're just a moment away from a tragedy. A danger of falling out from the ring was a major threat for the fighters, sometimes maybe even more danger than their opponents
