The Main Event: Bantamweight Fire in the Capital
At the summit of the card, a high-stakes bantamweight duel pits local hero Francesco Nuzzi against the explosive Brazilian Manoel Silva.

He faces a terrifying test in Silva, whose finish-at-all-costs mentality and South American grit make him a threat in every second of the fight. This is a quintessential clash of regional dominance vs. global ambition, where the winner leaves as a premier contender in the 135-pound division.
Heavyweight Power and Technical Warfare
The intensity remains at a peak in the co-main attraction as Italian heavyweight icon Mauro Cerilli returns to action against the heavy-hitting Grégory Robinet. Cerilli, a man who has competed at the highest levels of the sport, brings a veteran savvy and a crushing physical pressure to the cage. He meets a formidable challenge in Robinet, a fighter known for his durability and the kind of power that can end a heavyweight clash in the blink of an eye.
The card is further bolstered by a welterweight banger between Khadim Dia and Christopher Bajo, a matchup many are tipping for Fight of the Night honors. Simultaneously, the featherweight ranks feature a fascinating encounter as Luca Borando tests his skills against Caique Araujo, while the veteran Stefano Paternò returns to face the dangerous Andreeas Binder in a 170-pound war.
The Roman Proving Ground: A Glimpse into the Future
The evening begins with a relentless array of matchups designed to showcase the technical evolution of the Italian scene.
