Sparta Royale II
Agron, are you afraid of the Ukrainian mammoth?
It's that time again this Saturday: the Multiversum in Schwechat will be shaking once more when the "Sparta Royale" special edition takes place for a second time. After the sold-out event in February, this time too there will be no shortage of stars from the MMA scene. One of the fighters is Croatian Agron Smak, who krone.tv asked for an interview (see video above).
Over five hours of pure action were on offer at the first edition of Sparta Royale at the Schwechat Multiversum in February. Fans can expect something similar on Saturday. In addition to the six fights, there will also be two Grand Prix fights. In the Grand Prix, eight fighters will compete against each other in a knockout duel to determine the winner. "This absolutely has a future, people want to see it," Agron Smak is convinced. The same Agron Smak who will contest the main fight in Schwechat on Saturday.
Opponent under observation
"I came back to Europe from America especially to be at Sparta," said Smak, who left a top-fit impression in the krone.tv interview (see above) after weeks of training in the USA. He has not yet taken a close look at his opponent Vlad Ivashenko. "I haven't had a close look at him yet. But it's important to know his opponent: How big is he, what's his special punch and how does he move." Facts that he will work out with his coaching team. In any case, his nickname is fixed: the Ukrainian mammoth!
On paper, Smak is the clear favorite. The Croatian-born fighter has won 20 of his 22 fights to date, 18 by knockout. He has lost his only fight to date.
The fact that the hall in Schwechat will once again be brought to the boil is probably also down to Patrick Rainer. The fighter with a penchant for SK Rapid Vienna will face Umut Birdal, who won his only professional fight to date. You can find the complete program in the picture (above).
