Kamil Kraska is 15-3-0, has won six fights in a row and has finished 13 of his 15 wins, a finish rate of about 87 percent. The Polish welterweight is the reigning FNC champion and defends the belt against Laureano Staropoli at FNC 36 in Rijeka, Croatia, on Saturday, 19 December 2026.
Kraska is 28, stands 178 cm and trains with Rio Grappling in Ostrów Wielkopolski. He turned professional on 7 April 2018 and won his debut by first-round TKO.
Kamil Kraska record: how the wins came
Six of his 15 wins came by KO or TKO, seven by submission and only two went to the scorecards. Finish rate here means the share of wins that ended by KO, TKO or submission, so 13 of 15 gives roughly 87 percent.
That balance matters. Kraska is not a striker who occasionally grabs a choke, or a grappler hunting the takedown at all costs. He has won with rear-naked chokes, guillotines, an anaconda choke, an arm-triangle, punches and ground and pound, and opponents have to respect all of it.
His three losses are spread just as evenly: a submission against Łukasz Siwiec in November 2018, a unanimous decision against Cezary Oleksiejczuk at FEN 40 in June 2022, and a second-round TKO against Adrian Zieliński at FEN 49 on 25 August 2023. Nobody has beaten him since.
Kamil Kraska last fight and recent form
After the Zieliński loss he rebuilt with a unanimous decision over Aslambek Arsamikov at FEN 52 in February 2024 and a first-round guillotine choke on Matias Juarez at Babilon MMA 46 that August. Then came the move to FNC, where he is 4-0. The run now stands at six straight wins.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result | Method | Round (time) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 May 2026 | FNC 31 | Ivica Trušček | Win | TKO (ground and pound) | 2 (3:15) |
| 29 Nov 2025 | FNC 25 | Igor Cavalcanti | Win | Submission (arm-triangle choke) | 2 (4:00) |
| 24 May 2025 | FNC 23 | Stefan Negucić | Win | TKO (punches) | 1 (0:54) |
| 23 Nov 2024 | FNC 20 | Jovan Marjanović | Win | TKO (punches) | 1 (2:59) |
| 9 Aug 2024 | Babilon MMA 46 | Matias Juarez | Win | Submission (guillotine choke) | 1 (2:07) |
Three of those five were title fights. Kraska won the vacant belt by stopping Stefan Negucić in under a minute at FNC 23 in Belgrade, defended it by submitting Igor Cavalcanti with an arm-triangle at FNC 25 in Varaždin, and defended it again by stopping Ivica Trušček with ground and pound at FNC 31 in Belgrade.
The welterweight title and what FNC means for him
Kraska is listed as champion in the FNC welterweight rankings, and his reign rests on the habit that marks his whole career: getting the fight finished. Three of his last five ended in round one and the other two in round two. His three title wins came over exactly a year, from May 2025 to May 2026, and none of them needed the judges.
Next fight: Laureano Staropoli at FNC 36
Kraska vs. Staropoli is the co-main event of FNC 36 at Dvorana Mladosti in Rijeka, with the welterweight title on the line. The card starts at 19:00 CET (18:00 GMT, 1 p.m. ET), according to FNC, and the main event is the light heavyweight title rematch between Jakob Nedoh and Tom Breese. Rijeka Danas reports it is the first big FNC event in the city.
Staropoli, a 33-year-old Argentine and former UFC welterweight, arrives at 15-7-0 and is No. 1 in our FNC welterweight rankings. He matches the champion's 15 wins but carries seven defeats to Kraska's three, and he has won his last two fights by knockout, most recently with a spinning back elbow against Jakub Bahník at FNC 32 in June 2026.
The booking tests whether Kraska's finishing record holds up against a challenger with that much experience. Another stoppage would stretch the streak to seven. If Staropoli drags him deep, it would be Kraska's first trip to the scorecards since the February 2024 win over Arsamikov.
