Erslan initially rocked the popular Slo Rocky, but Fabjan demonstrated that a dazed boxer is the most dangerous, ending the fight with a flurry of punches in the very first round. More precisely, the referee stepped in when it became clear Erslan couldn't withstand the Slovenian's assault.

Following the Fabjan-Erslan bout, Darko Stošić and Hatef Moil entered the octagon to contend for the championship belt. After five grueling rounds, the title went to the Serbian fighter.

Immediately after that match, Fabjan told "Telegraf" that he was ready to challenge Stošić for the title.

I believe Stošić and Fabjan for the title, it will be... FNC decides. That was the agreement, that if I beat Erslan, my next fight would be against the winner of Hatef and Stošić. So I think that would be a really good thing and a big... a huge, huge match. I don't care where the fight happens. Stošić decides, he won the first match, but I'll take the second and the title.Miran Fabjan
