Najand is scheduled to face Argentine fighter Laureano Staropoli tomorrow at the “Krešimir Ćosić” Hall in the city of Zadar, Croatia.
This match will take place as part of the 30th event of the FNC organization in the 77-kilogram weight class, a bout that holds special significance for both fighters.
Wahdatullah Najand has so far recorded 10 wins and 2 losses in his 12 professional fights. He enters this competition after achieving four consecutive victories, aiming to start his journey in the new organization with a successful result.
On the other side, Laureano Staropoli brings considerable experience to the fight. He previously won the lightweight championship title of the “ARES” organization and has also competed in major promotions such as the “UFC” and “PFL.”
Staropoli has a professional record of 13 wins and 7 losses in a total of 20 fights and is considered one of the experienced competitors in mixed martial arts (MMA).
