Rising Star Fedor Duric Set for Career-Defining Fight Against Marc Diakiese

After building impressive momentum, Duric now faces former UFC standout Marc Diakiese on one of the biggest stages in European MMA.

On September 26, 2026, the young German fighter Fedor Duric will face the far more experienced Marc Diakiese.

Fedor Duric is considered a fighter who has developed well recently and has a lot of momentum on his side. Many believe he has a bright future ahead of him. So far, he has lost only one of his nine fights, and that decision is still highly controversial. His other fights include three TKO wins, four submissions, and one decision. He secured every one of his finishes before the third round, which is a very strong statistic. Now he needs to prove that he can also win against bigger names.

However, to do so, he must first defeat the much more experienced former lightweight fighter Marc Diakiese. He is known for his explosive style and is a perfect test for young talent. The challenge for Fedor Duric will be to overcome Marc Diakiese’s experience. Marc Diakiese has won 11 of his 18 fights by decision. These numerous decision wins demonstrate how to win at the highest level and, above all, speak to his experience.

The fight pits a 21-year-old top prospect against a UFC veteran, and the stage for it could hardly be bigger.

In front of approximately 60,000 fans, Fedor Duric now has the chance to prove himself, and that should definitely be his goal. A victory over a former UFC fighter would be the biggest achievement of Fedor Duric's career so far.
