Na Oktagon 44 eventu u njemačkom Oberhausenu, Antun Račić (27-11-1) je ostvario uspješan debi u borbi protiv Brazilca Nuna Coste. Župski borac nedavno je potpisao ugovor s Oktagonom i brzo je započeo svoj put prema tituli. Račić je na samom početku meča preuzeo kontrolu nad borbom, srušio Costu na pod i zadao nekoliko čistih udaraca. No, borba je prekinuta nakon što je nožni prst Coste zapeo za ogradu kaveza. Costa nije mogao nastaviti slomljenog prsta, a sudac je proglasio pobjedu Račića tehničkom odlukom.
Antun se sada okreće novom izazovu – meču za titulu protiv aktualnog prvaka bantam kategorije, Jonasa Magarda (15-5-0). Njihov obračun zakazan je za 28. srpnja. Kao bivši prvak KSW-a, Račić može imati značajnu ulogu u ovoj organizaciji.
The last fight on the preliminary card sees former KSW bantamweight champion, Antun Račić 🇭🇷 take on dangerous Brazilian, Nuno Costa 🇧🇷 in a #1 contenders bout.

Well, that's a first. A fight was just stopped at Oktagon after Nuno Costa seemingly injured/dislocated his toe when the ref pulled his toes out of the fence. Very MMA. #OKTAGON44 pic.twitter.com/ZOdsUKbZjg
