WOW 28 returns to Catalonia with a card of 11 professional fights at the Olympic Arena in Badalona and with Fabia Sintes as the main protagonist of the night. The flyweight champion of the promoter faces a new defense of the belt against Abdul Karim Badakhshi in a fight that concentrates much of the attention of the event. Sintes arrives consolidated as one of the most recognizable names in the Spanish MMA and with a competitive dynamic that reinforces his role as the central figure of the evening.
Beyond the main fight, the event presents several crossovers with real interest within the national scene. One of the most striking will be the confrontation between Zebenzui Ruiz and Apollo Gomes, two fighters with enough experience and experience to sign one of the most intense fights of the event. The duel between Daniil Prikaza and Adrián Oviedo at welterweight also stands out, a clash between experience and ambition that can be decisive for the competitive evolution of both within the promotion.
The women's card also provides names to follow. Andrea Meneses will face Claire Lopez in a fight that can serve to continue boosting her projection, while Lara Botto appears as another of the fighters with focus on a night that mixes consolidated profiles with emerging talent. That balance between experience, belts and opportunities for new faces makes the evening one of the most complete of WOW in recent months.
The rest of the event adds confrontations such as Liam Arjona vs Jose Gilarte, Dimitri Barkaia vs Charlie Hatton, Oliver Buendia vs D. Osarumwense, F. Villena vs Deivid Santana, Alex Carpio vs Seydi Camara and Samba Sarr vs A. Camillo. Overall, WOW 28 is not presented as just another stop on the calendar, but as a night designed to reinforce the growth of the promoter in Spain and leave a card with real competitive weight in Badalona.
