On Sunday April 10th Bojan Velickovic (13-3) of High Altitude Martial Arts, ETC Denver, and Elevation Fight Team, will make his UFC Middleweight debut against Alessio di Chirico (9-0) in Zagreb, Croatia.
Bo signed his bout agreement 10 weeks ago, and began preparing right away, making this his longest fight camp to date. In addition to regular training sessions at ETC Denver, High Altitude, and Muscle Pharm, he’s been doing strength and conditioning at Landow Performance. Going into a fight against an undefeated opponent, Bo is expecting one of the toughest challenges of his fight career, but he is excited and feeling ready to go to battle.
Bo left his home in Serbia four years ago with a 4-0 pro record in order to move to the US and take his MMA training to the next level. At the time, many people thought his dreams of becoming the first Serbian in the UFC were unrealistic. But after four long years and 16 fights, he’s poised to achieve his goals. He’s excited to make his debut in Croatia, close enough for his family and friends from Serbia to attend. He says, “I hope my example is going to motivate some new kids to work hard and one day accomplish their dreams and become champions!”
The fight will be viewable on UFC Fight Pass, and begins at 8:30 AM MST.
