Just a few days ago, Joker announced on social media that he had left FNC after his contract expired, also mentioning that he failed to reach an agreement with the organization's leadership on continuing their collaboration.
He then publicly reached out to popular Serbian YouTuber Baki Prase, expressing his desire to fight in his organization and naming Đani Barbir as a potential opponent.
However, it is now clear that nothing will come of that, as FNC owner Dražen Forgač and his associates stepped in and evidently reached an agreement with Ilić regarding his demands. Thus, it was officially confirmed today that Joker will continue fighting in this organization. Nevertheless, a clash with Barbir is still expected, but within the FNC octagon.
"The Serbian superstar (18–7) has a dominant streak of three wins in FNC, capped by a convincing victory over Miran Fabjan, securing the triumph for Team Joker in the 2nd season of the FNC reality show. The chaos continues. New challenges await under the FNC banner. Which fights would you like to see as part of the new contract?" stated FNC.
This announcement drew a significant reaction from fans and did not go without a comment from legendary Montenegrin fighter Vasa Bakočević, who in his typical style wrote in a comment: "Do you have 100 euros until the first?"
