Along with the news of the events UFC fighters came out and made it known that they want to be featured on these events, heavyweight Stefan Struve is looking to get on the Rotterdam card saying
“I got goosebumps when I was told the UFC is finally coming our way, I’m thrilled it’s finally going to happen. No matter what I want to fight on this card, at this point in my career this is what I need to fight in front of my friends and family and deliver a show like I can.”
Also heavyweight number one contender Stipe Miocic who has roots in Croatia has said
“It would be a dream if I was able to fight in Croatia, I travelled there for the first time in 2015 to train with Mirko Cro Cop and it was a great experience just to see the country and spend some time there with my family. I don’t know what the UFC has in store for me now but I’ll definitely be back in Croatia one way or another.”
