    If he was any good or had any chance of winning then he wouldnt be allowed to fight buatsi...
    Yeah, it's like when Dubois fights some random undefeated guy. This guy is probably just Babic's friend or some shit.

      Marko Calic is a solid fighter no bum. He's a distance fighter with good defense and good footwork. Experienced also. I expect a good fight from Calic.

            Eddie literally signed him up for the fight on the recommendation of fellow Croatian Alen Babic saying this guy can fight

            Babic isn’t exactly all there in the mind, So imagine finding an opponent based on his recommendation

              Why hasn't Buatsi fought better competition? I think he's actually pretty good.

                They should keep to the plan of fighting Igor Mikhalkin for the EBU. Would cost much more to stage it?

                  Buatsi is being moved far too slowly for a fighter with his experience.

                      I don't like to write off a fighter because "I have never heard of him before" but the guy hasn't fought anyone of note. His opponents have a 117 losing record to 106 winning record.

                      That for me is a red flag, he might turn out to be a good fighter who is waiting for a chance like this, and he should be up for the fight because beating a hype up fighter from the west is always good for your resume, but the fact that his level of previous opponents are that bad, i just don#t have much hope here.
