It\u2019s been touted as a clash of superlatively skilled strikers seeking success. A few stars recently addressed the upcoming fight card, the historic first-ever BKFC event to be held in Belgrade, Serbia.<\/p>\n<p>Featherweight <strong>Dejan Zlaticanin<\/strong> said, \u201cI\u2019m here to show him what boxing is and how to fight up close \u2013 face to face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zlaticanin\u2019s opponent, <strong>Said-Khusein Akhyadov<\/strong>, didn\u2019t hold back in his warning, saying, \u201cSome people should have retired a long time ago, and I\u2019m going to help them do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere on the card, <strong>Vlad Tuinov<\/strong> takes on the ever-confident <strong>Alfred Koci<\/strong> in a middleweight clash. Koci warned, \u201cThe moment he accepted the fight with me, he had already lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the most fiery matchups of the event is expected to be the welterweight fight between Serbia\u2019s <strong>Dusan Radovic<\/strong> and Brazil\u2019s <strong>Felipe Maia<\/strong>. True to his moniker \u201cMecava,\u201d meaning blizzard or snowstorm in English, the Serbian fighter is known to speak his mind. Sending a word of caution to his Brazilian rival, Radovic stated, \u201cI expect real hell \u2014 nonstop fire and flames. I know I won\u2019t come out without getting burned, but I\u2019ll walk through that hell and come out the winner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also, heavyweights will collide, as Croatia\u2019s <strong>Agron Smakici<\/strong> goes up against Hungary\u2019s <strong>Istvan Bernath<\/strong>.

BKFC Belgrade is far more than a sports contest for Kalicanin, who\u2019s indicated that competing at the Belgrade Arena has been his lifelong dream.<\/p>\n<p>The Serbian talent is keen on performing across multiple fights for the BKFC and is viewed by many as a standout at 165 pounds. Kalicanin noted, \u201cAgainst me, he won\u2019t make it to the end of the round \u2014 and no one and nothing will save him.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>BKFC Belgrade tryouts for the World\u2019s Baddest Man (WBM) global tournament \u2013 brings a $20 million prize pool, $10 million to the winner \u2013 on October 15, 2026<\/h2>\n<p>The BKFC World\u2019s Baddest Man (WBM) global tournament (2026-2027) has been labeled as one of the most high-profile combat sports tournaments of all time.
