Fight Club Rush 24: Fight card, start times & info

It's finally time for Fight Club Rush to make its much-anticipated debut in the south Swedish city of Malmö! As FCR touches down in Sweden's third largest city it does so with a stacked fight card filled to the brim with talent from the southernmost region of Skåne, Scandinavia - and beyond!

The event takes place at Baltiska Hallen in the heart of Malmö with doors opening to the public at 14:30, tickets are available at Ticketmaster.

The stakes could not be bigger in the main event as perennial featherweight contender Baysangur Makaev (6-1) finally gets his shot at FCR gold - taking on Georgian bruiser Levan Kirtadze (13-4).

Makaev, who lives in Malmö and trains in the neighboring city of Lund, has remained perfect since debuting in FCR, with five straight wins being amassed against greater and greater competition. He has beckoned for a shot at the vacant featherweight title and now he's getting his wish.

The heavy-handed slugger Kirtadze stands across from him, having last competed in Sweden last summer in the FCR 20 main event against Tobias Harila. Both Kirtadze and Harila fought a tough, close and bloody fight that ended with Harila securing a majority decision. Now Kirtadze is gunning for revenge the FCR strap.

Malmös own Christopher Bajo (5-3) will also finally return to FCR! Last time out Bajo delivered a sensational performance with a second round TKO win over Toni Lampinen. Now he's back, taking on Austria's Ali Isajew (4-1). Bajo comes from a strong striking background built in Muay Thai whereas Isajew holds a 100% finishing rate in all wins.

Also, Norwegian super prospect Jon Vetle Furuheim (8-1) will debut in FCR, taking on Robson Lima (10-7) - a skilled submission artist with a 70% finishing rate.

Aside form that local fighters will be well represented on the card. Herolind Xhafolli (2-3), coming off of a sizzling TKO victory in his FCR debut, will face Marcos da Silva (4-4) - coming off of a submission win over FCR alumn Raymond Johansson.

On top of that, rising star John Oldenqvist (4-1) will take on Norwegian phenom Kevin Dolvik (2-0), Benjamin Hajijan (1-0) faces the returning Nika Kalandadze (3-5) and social media sensation turned fighter Michael "Megic Mike" Dawood battles Carlos Moucha in a heated amateur contest.
