AFN 7 goes down where two titles will be at stake!

The event starts on June 29 at the Allstars Training Center in Solna and offers a match card with 17 fights to look forward to!

In the main event, we will see hometown favorite and AFN champion Sakhi “Machete” Qambari (4-1) to try and defend his title for the first time against the polish fighter Rafal Marczuk (4-1). Qambari comes from a four fight win streak where the last three wins have come by submission in the first round. He faces a power puncher in Marczuk who have finished all of his wins by K.O/TKO. A fight that most likely will be an action-packed match between two aggressive fighters who will do everything to take get the belt wrapped around their waist.

In the co-main event, we will see another explosive title match as Mark Vologdin (10-3-1) takes on Vinicius Moraes (2-3) where he will try to defend his bantamweight belt for the first time. Moraes last MMA fight was back in 2017 and have since then been a active muay thai fighter who now will make a comeback to the cage with one goal in mind, to take the belt back home to Brazil! This fight is between two fighters that are always looking for the finish, which builds up for a crazy fight with high stakes!
