Ivan Sičaja vs Alan Villalba

💣 Ivan Sičaja and Alan Villalba will meet in a featherweight bout at FNC 35. The Croatian enters with an 8-2 record, having beaten Eduard Keksel in his last outing. His Argentine opponent has considerably more professional experience, with 21 wins from 30 fights. For Sičaja, it is a chance to test himself against a seasoned opponent, while Villalba will look to make his experience count.

We favour Alan Villalba, who has spent much longer competing at the professional level. The Argentine’s experience should help him adjust to shifts in pace as the fight unfolds. Sičaja can make it competitive, but he will need to stay focused under sustained pressure. We expect Villalba to draw on his experience and find a way past his opponent. Our prediction: Alan Villalba to win.
