Robin Van Roosmalen returns to main event FFC 30 in Linz, The Dutch fighter will make his third MMA bout at FFC after he won his previous MMA fights via impressive KO’s. Van Roosmalen is also fighting under Glory’s banner where he recently regained the featherweight belt and proved he is one of the best stand-up fighters nowadays. The name of his opponent has not been disclosed yet, but FFC officials hinted Van Roosmalen could get an Austrian foe.

Nice, here is RVR in MMA. So he has a Glory kickboxing fight coming up, as well as this MMA fight. Hope to see him go to 3-0.

Robin Van Roosmalen sustained an eye injury in his recent Glory match and he will not be able to fight at FFC 30 Linz.

The Dutch fighter was supposed to fight in the main event of the MMA part of the evening. Robin Van Roosmalen (2-0, FFC 2-0) made his MMA debut in 2016 in Greece at FFC 22 Athens. He defeated Athinodoros Michailidis and kicked off his MMA career with an excellent KO win. This was to be his third pro MMA match.

Legendary Japanese fighter Satoshi Ishii (15-8-1) is the latest addition to the FFC roster and he will now  fight in the main event of the MMA part of the evening. Ishii is one of the best Japanese MMA fighters and winner of gold medal in judo at Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. The Japanese fighter is currently in Croatia training with Mirko ‘Cro Cop’ Filipović and he will fight in his promotional debut in Linz. Originally, the event was to be headlined by Holland’s Robin van Roosmalen who had to cancel his match citing injury.

Ishii will square off with Superior FC heavyweight champion Bjoern Schmiedeberg (12-6-1) who will also make his FFC debut. There is no doubt that this will be a realy heavyweight war not to be missed!

Sucks RVR is out again
