Fight Exclusive Night


Fight Exclusive Night, better known by its initials FEN, is Polish mixed martial arts and K-1 promotion based in Wrocław.

History

Paweł Jóźwiak, Rafał Sawicki, Kamil Birka, Bartosz Szuba and Łukasz Paluch founded organization in 2013.
The first FEN gala took place on November 16, 2013, at the Stadion Wrocław Business Club.
In 2014, FEN established cooperation with Polsat television.
On March 6, 2015, the first fight for the Fight Exclusive Night championship belt took place at the FEN 6 gala. In the fight for the title of bantamweight champion, Tymoteusz Świątek and the Victor Marinho faced each other, the Portuguese won by knockout in the fifth round.
Since 2018, the main sponsors of the organization are state-owned companies Lotos and Energa Orlen.
In September 2019, Tomasz Babiloński, the owner of Babilon MMA, announced cooperation with Fight Exclusive Night, which took place at the October gala Babilon MMA 10: Underground Circle in the Wieliczka Salt Mine, where in the main fight Babilon MMA featherweight champion Daniel Rutkowski faced FEN featherweight champion Adrian Zieliński for both organizations belts. The winner of this fight was popular "Rutek" from Radom, defeating his rival by unanimous decision. More than a year later, there was a rematch between these two, this time at the FEN 31: Lotos Fight Night Łódź event. Initially, the fight was supposed to be for two championship belts, but Zieliński did not meet the weight limit, so this status was removed. On November 28, 2020, Rutkowski won for the second time with the same verdict as before.
On June 13, 2020, the FEN 28: Lotos Fight Night gala took place, which was the first PPV gala in the history of the organization. During this event, in the fight for the historic heavyweight championship belt, the British Oli Thompson knocked out Szymon Bajor with a right hook, thus becoming the first federation champion in the royal category.
On February 24, 2024, the FEN federation issued a statement informing that the current president, Paweł Jóźwiak, will cease to perform this function in favor of the organization's matchmaker, Jakub Borowicz. Three weeks later, the new president announced and presented new changes that would be introduced at future Fen galas. Already during the upcoming FEN 53 gala, fans could see the first ever main event without a belt over a distance of 5 rounds, in addition, after each round in each fight, the 1st and 2nd rounds, the point cards of the fighting players would be visible to the fans, and the fighters of each gala were weighed on the same day as the fights.
