He would seal the trilogy with a win, becoming the 2015 91 kg tournament champion.[13]

Professional career

Early career

Plazibat then signed a contract with Final Fight Championship. He was immediately placed in the FFC Futures Kickboxing Light Heavyweight tournament.[20] In the semifinals, Plazibat defeated Stipe Stipetić by a second round TKO, and in the finals, he defeated Mitar Dugalić by a third round TKO.[21]

Plazibat notched two more wins with the organization, defeating Bojan Džepina and Daniel Skvor by knockout.[22][23] His winning streak earned Plazibat his highest profile fight of his career up to that point, as he was scheduled to fight Sergej Maslobojev at FFC 22: Athens.[24] Maslobojev won the fight by a second round TKO, after the ringside doctor waved the fight off due to a cut.[25]

SUPERKOMBAT

Following his first loss, Plazibat moved away from FFC. In his ninth professional fight, Plazibat was scheduled to fight the former WAKO and SUPERKOMBAT Cruiserweight champion Bogdan Stoica.[26] He won the fight by TKO, after Stoica suffered a leg injury in the second round.[27]

A month later, Plazibat fought Dănuț Hurduc at SUPERKOMBAT World Grand Prix IV.[28] He won the fight through a unanimous decision. A month later, Plazibat fought another former SUPERKOMBAT champion in Frank Muñoz, winning the fight by a unanimous decision.[29]

Plazibat is scheduled to face Levi Rigters in the Glory four man heavyweight tournament, during Glory 76: Antwerp.[39] The tournament pairings later changed, with Plazibat facing Nordine Mahieddine instead of Rigters.[40] The event was postponed as Plazibat's gym mate Badr Hari contracted COVID-19,[41] and due to a partial lockdown imposed by the Dutch government.[42] The tournament was rescheduled for December 19.[43] The fight with Mahieddine went into an extra round, after which Plazibat lost a split decision.[44]
