Meeting statistics

The current form of Marko Bojković

The “Skull Crusher” has won all professional matches so far, and last four against the Brazilian rivals. Bojković (7-0) returns to the Fight Nation Championship cage, this time for the biggest “scalp” of his career. Now he faces an experienced and tough fighter who has fought in the KSW and the Octagon cages in his career. Bojković has shown that he can finish off his opponents in various ways, but now he goes against a rival who has won seven by a knockout.

However, the young Serb is also known for his explosiveness and athleticism, and for quickly finishing off his opponents. The 23-year-old Bojković has six wins before the distance in his seven appearances – three knockouts and three submissions. He has shown good grappling skills and may be looking for victory in this way against a dangerous striker like his next opponent, compared to whom he is a favorite: 1.25 on Meridianbet. On the other hand, Siraj is 3.60.

The current form of Sahil Siraj

The “Knockout Prince” (9-3) is a 34-year-old fighter with a very respectable fighting resume. The Afghan with a Swedish passport has achieved professional MMA victories in well-known promotions such as Cage Warriors, Brave CF, and KSW, and his last appearance was in April of this year in the Oktagon MMA organization. Siraj was brutally knocked out by Akonne Wanliss in just 40 seconds at OKTAGON 56 fight in Birmingham, England.

He looks physically impressive and athletic, and his nickname is definitely deserved. According to available data, Siraj has achieved eight of his nine victories by knockout, with seven of those eight knockouts made in the first round of the fight. It’s obvious that this is a fighter who comes from a striking sport, and when we consider how quickly he disposes of his opponents, we can conclude that he’s a very explosive athlete.

Head-to-head

These two fighters have never met in the cage before.

Match analytics

We’re expecting a fight between the two explosive fighters who always seem to be “in a hurry” when the cage doors close. Sounds like a real fighting treat to us. Experience is certainly on the side of the Swedish fighter, but Bojković seems to have better knowledge of the wrestling segment of the fight. Either way, the fight won’t last for a full three rounds, that’s certain.

Tip: Fight to go the distance – No. So you know, only moneyline odds have been launched for the fight thus far.
