OKTAGON 64 THROUGH THE EYES OF THE JUDGES: SCORECARDS FROM ALL FIGHTS

<p>The long-awaited showdown is finally here! Two featherweight stars, who have been lighting up the OKTAGON scene, will finally settle the score in the cage. And it’s none other than one of the biggest MMA talents, Max Holzer, facing off against the sharpshooter Deniz Ilbay! Why is this fight so special?</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6205506e-f8f2-43ae-bb16-74e850784c40/cs.1742230545594.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/fd38c377-b046-4125-b7dc-99ee8bddc486/cs.1742230500727.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>YOUTH VS. EXPERIENCE</h2><p>On one side stands 23-year-old Max Holzer – a young phenomenon with a perfect record of 10-0, who has yet to taste defeat in the cage. On the ground, he’s practically unstoppable: 6 of his 10 victories have come by submission. But he can also handle himself standing up, with 2 knockout wins proving his ability to adapt.</p><p>Holzer is fast, aggressive, and unafraid to take risks. But that’s exactly where he might run into trouble – Ilbay is seven years older and significantly more experienced, with more than twice as many fights under his belt. A former professional boxer, Ilbay knows how to adjust to any opponent and precisely when to strike.</p><h2>GROUND VS. STRIKING</h2><p>In Dortmund, it will be a clash of styles. Holzer is a master on the ground, but Ilbay isn’t called “El Pistolero” for nothing – he earned that nickname thanks to his lethal punches that have floored opponents time and time again. In OKTAGON, all of his wins have come by knockout – Lengál, Deiga-Scheck, and Tripšanský have all fallen to his fists. Can he drop Holzer too?</p><h2>THE BATTLE BEFORE THE FIGHT</h2><p>Max Holzer is already entertaining fans not only with his performances in the cage but also with the show he builds around himself. His extravagant walkouts – once in costume, another time on a scooter – prove that Holzer enjoys the spotlight beyond just the fight itself. He soaked up the attention of more than 60,000 fans at Deutsche Bank Park.</p><p>Deniz Ilbay isn’t shy about showmanship either – his iconic entrance with a sombrero and Mexican mask is already legendary in OKTAGON. But as he himself says, the mask switches him into warrior mode – instead of an extravagant show, it's more about intense focus and dangerous energy.</p><p>Who will have the psychological edge even before they step into the cage?</p><h2>WHO CAN HANDLE THE PRESSURE?</h2><p>Holzer seems calm, but the pressure he’s about to face is unprecedented. What happens if Ilbay survives the first round and starts controlling the pace? Ilbay has experience in longer fights and knows how to manage his energy. If Holzer fails to finish the fight early, Ilbay could wear him down and punish the young fighter’s mistakes in the later rounds.</p><p>But it’s a huge challenge for Ilbay too – will this win finally cement his place among the top names in the organization? Or will Holzer send him into retirement?</p><h2>THE BEST FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE EVER?</h2><p>Holzer is a new-generation phenomenon – dynamic, creative, and technically versatile. Ilbay represents the old-school boxing mentality: a tough striker with dynamite in his hands and a calm, calculated approach.</p><p>This fight has it all – youth vs. experience, grappler vs. striker, confidence vs. composure. German MMA is about to witness one of the biggest showdowns of the decade. Whether it ends by knockout or submission – this is a fight people will be talking about for years.</p><p><strong>Holzer or Ilbay? Don’t miss the action at OKTAGON 69 – April 5th!</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="106"></okteventcomponent>

SCORECARDS FROM OKTAGON 68: CHECK OUT THE FIGHTS THROUGH THE JUDGES' EYES

<p>Thrilling battles, joy for Stuttgart, and a new double champion who seems able to survive anything. It was a fantastic night at OKTAGON 68! Here’s a complete rundown of the tournament results:</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/9c7141ad-b8f8-4b01-91e5-3e5841d258c1/cs.1741478687612.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/947f012d-c646-4641-bd4d-0dc779c66d19/cs.1741478694446.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TODEV VS. FLEURY</h2><p>An incredible title fight delivered a breathtaking battle. It started off at full throttle and kept up the pace for all five championship rounds. Fleury, looking relaxed, had things under control from the start — except for an unexpected strike from Todev that sent him to the ground early in the fight. Despite that, Fleury clearly took the first round. In the second round, Fleury showed Todev what a takedown means in OKTAGON for the first time. The second round was evenly matched, but Fleury turned the tide again in the third, demolishing the Bulgarian giant, and maintained that dominance into the penultimate five minutes. The fifth round reached an insane pace — Todev landed blows that would have finished most fighters, but Fleury endured and survived the impossible. He refused to go down — and it paid off. A new, and now two-time champion is here, with Will "F*cking" Fleury raising the belt again just three months later!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1123"></oktfightcomponent><h2>OMER VS. KOPERA</h2><p>An amazing comeback by Alan Omer. After battling a serious illness, he returned after five years — and won! However, Kopera was no easy opponent. The first two rounds clearly belonged to Alan, who dominated both standing and on the ground. The first round even saw a historic moment — for the first time in OKTAGON history, a broken mouthguard had to be replaced live during the broadcast. Omer handled it and carried on. Kopera fought back hard in the final round and momentarily became the king of the cage, but it wasn’t enough. Alan Omer claimed a clear victory by decision!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1101"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MURADOV VS. ENOMOTO</h2><p>The first round was clearly Muradov’s — he hammered Enomoto with a relentless assault, though the Swiss samurai held up surprisingly well. The crowd may have expected Muradov to secure a points victory, but he quickly proved them wrong early in the second round! A brutal straight right, a flying knee, and a flurry of strikes on the ground sent Enomoto into darkness. A fantastic finish — and Muradov got exactly what he wanted: no injuries and a huge showdown with Patrik Kincl at Eden coming up!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1124"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TIPSPORT PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT: BARTL VS. SCHWINDT</h2><p>This one was heart-stopping! Schwindt dominated the first round — the judges were unanimous. But what happened in the second round was total warfare. Schwindt came out swinging with brutal strikes, but Bartl quickly turned the tables and took Schwindt down. Both fighters absorbed massive damage, and the ground battle was a desperate fight for survival. Bartl briefly took control, but the advantage kept shifting until Schwindt regained dominance. He tortured Bartl on the ground, and just when the referee was ready to step in, Bartl always managed to hang on. Bartl’s heroic effort finally ended at 4:41 of the second round when Schwindt managed to finish him. A match to remember and an amazing performance from both fighters, crowned with a bonus for the winner for the best performance of the evening.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1156"></oktfightcomponent><h2>AYARI VS. STAHL</h2><p>The first main card fight delivered a hard-fought three-round battle. Stahl had a tough time in the opening round, absorbing heavy strikes from Ayari. The rest of the fight followed a similar pattern. In the second round, Stahl tried to take the fight to the ground, but Ayari defended well and forced the fight back to standing. Ayari seemed poised for victory and sealed the deal in the final round. As the fight drew to a close, Ayari countered an attack from Stahl and delivered a devastating KO — the first of the night. Stahl went down, and Ayari secured a well-deserved win.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1143"></oktfightcomponent><h2>FRANK VS. FRIMPONG</h2><p>A rough night for Frank! Frimpong delivered on all his trash talk and backed it up in the cage. He outworked Frank, never letting him breathe — even talking to him mid-fight. He swept all three rounds! By the second round, Frank looked defeated, and the third round was the icing on the cake. Frimpong lived up to his threats and handed Frank the first loss of his career — in front of his home crowd, no less.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1100"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PAULUS VS. SILVA</h2><p>A fight that was undecided until the final moments! The first round had an unusual start when Roman Paulus pointed out an illegal move and took a long pause to recover. After the break, the round remained evenly matched. In the second round, Paulus dominated as Silva struggled to respond — the round clearly went to the Slovak fighter. But the final round decided it all — Paulus seemed to lose steam or interest. Silva upped his activity, landing more strikes as Paulus faded. The fight remained close until the very end, but Silva celebrated confidently after the final bell — and rightly so. The 11-year-older Brazilian won by split decision.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1148"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BATFALSKÝ VS. BATOBO</h2><p>A proud moment for Czech fans! Both fighters came out fast, with Batobo quickly looking to take Batfalský to the ground. But Batfalský defended well and even held his own from the bottom. Batobo was quick with body shots and dominated the exchanges. But in the second round, Batfalský found a weakness — Batobo’s leg. After targeting it, Batobo became slower and visibly tired, while Batfalský stayed sharp and calm. Batobo’s leg eventually gave out, forcing him to retire. A mature, calculated performance from the young Czech talent — Batfalský proves once again that he’s going places!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1147"></oktfightcomponent><h2>LIGOCKI VS. LORENZ</h2><p>We have a rising star! Two wins in two weeks — both in the first round — that’s Daniel Ligocki. He stepped up shortly after his victory in Třinec and dominated again. Lorenz managed to land some shots early on, but Ligocki responded with a clean right hook that briefly shut Lorenz down. Ligocki then finished him off on the ground with a fast submission. Wow!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1159"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DALASLAN VS. ŠIMKOVÁ</h2><p>A heated women's battle! It started cautiously but turned into a bloody brawl. Dalaslan outmatched Šimková in speed and precision from the start — and the judges saw it that way too. Dalaslan punished every takedown attempt in the second round with brutal strikes. The third round escalated — first Šimková’s hairstyle took a hit, then the rest of her body. Dalaslan finished it off with a TKO just before the fourth minute of the final round.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1099"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ENZ VS. BAJRAMI</h2><p>The opening fight delivered an exciting three-round contest. Kevin Enz stuck to a clear strategy — 99% of the fight was on the ground, where he showcased his grappling skills. Bajrami held his own, landing some powerful strikes at the start of the second round. A first-round finish didn’t happen, but Enz’s dominance was clear to all the judges, earning the 26-year-old German his fourth career win.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1150"></oktfightcomponent>

The heavyweight division has a new champion! Check out the detailed results of the spectacular fights.

RESULTS OF OKTAGON 68: THE GREAT NIGHT OF THE IMMORTAL FLEURY

<p>We’re in for an action-packed night in Stuttgart, Germany. Here’s a fight-by-fight breakdown of OKTAGON 68:</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/4119a0fa-3c3d-41b7-8061-416ba18e2d32/cs.1741359776786.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c8140fda-b747-44da-a2c7-e40e19b7b97f/cs.1741359784814.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TODEV VS. FLEURY</h2><p>Lazar Todev was originally set to fight for the heavyweight title at OKTAGON 64, but when Moeil unexpectedly withdrew, his dream was put on hold. The rematch opportunity disappeared, but Todev isn’t one to sit and wait—he's now facing an even bigger challenge. He made his case for a title shot by demolishing Pałasz. With eight KOs, 100% takedown defense, and devastating knockout power, he’s more than ready. But standing in his way is a man who has already conquered one division—Will Fleury, the reigning light heavyweight champion and the man who defeated Karlos Vémola. After a grueling five-round war with "The Terminator," he’s now chasing a second belt, promising to dominate the heavyweight division as well. This is a showdown between two giant personalities. Will Todev finally fulfill his dream, or will Fleury rewrite OKTAGON history and become a two-division champion?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1123"></oktfightcomponent><h2>OMER VS. KOPERA</h2><p>Alan "Mr. Erbil" Omer is a former BAMMA champion with 9 KOs and 12 submissions under his belt—15 of his wins came in the first round! He’s undefeated in his last six fights, and his last three victories lasted less than two minutes in top-tier promotions like UAE Warriors and Bellator. Now, after a four-year hiatus, he’s ready to continue his dominance in OKTAGON. But Łukasz Kopera, a battle-hardened Polish fighter, is no stranger to high-level competition. He has fought in Cage Warriors and ACA against dangerous opponents. With 3 KOs and 5 submissions, he knows how to survive the storm and punish mistakes. Will Omer continue his ruthless finishing streak, or will Kopera hand him an unwelcome surprise?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1101"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MURADOV VS. ENOMOTO</h2><p>Makhmud Muradov proves once again that he doesn’t back down from any challenge. After Lutterbach’s injury, he accepted a fight against the experienced "Swiss Samurai" with no hesitation, determined to continue his journey back to the top. Ranked #36 in the world at middleweight, Muradov is one of the most successful Czech-Slovak MMA fighters. He made a triumphant return to OKTAGON last September, dominating UFC veteran Askham. Now, he's eyeing another win to get closer to a title fight with Kincl. However Enomoto is not an easy opponent. The former M-1 champion has the heart of a warrior—he’s beaten names like Ragozin and Zavurov, survived brutal battles against Shlemenko, and knows how to completely drain his opponents in the cage. With 3 KOs, 6 submissions, and an iron will, he is built for long wars. Muradov will be hunting for his 21st career finish, while Enomoto looks to withstand the storm and wear him down over time.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1124"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BARTL VS. SCHWINDT</h2><p>A last-minute shake-up has hit the card, but the show must go on! Jungwirth suffered a serious injury, Úškrt broke his hand, and had to withdraw from his fight against Schwindt. In an unexpected twist, Schwindt—Jungwirth’s best friend and training partner—has stepped in to face Bartl in a catchweight bout at 82 kg. Bartl is a seasoned OKTAGON veteran who has already defeated four German fighters in a row. Meanwhile, dangerous finisher Schwindt thrives in chaos—all six of his wins have come via quick stoppage, and no one has ever submitted him. Will Bartl, the German fighter slayer, add another name to his list?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1156"></oktfightcomponent><h2>AYARI VS. STAHL</h2><p>This bout features two battle-tested warriors who have faced world-class opponents! Ayari is a relentless finisher, having stopped 12 opponents before the final bell—most of them via first-round chokes. He’s taken on elite competition, including current OKTAGON champion Kerim Engizek. Now, he's looking to prove he belongs among the best. Facing him is Stahl, a Swedish powerhouse with UFC experience. He has stopped eight opponents, seven via knockout, and holds a victory over Christian Jungwirth, proving his striking is a serious threat. Who will make a stronger debut in OKTAGON? The technical Ayari or the ruthless striker Stahl?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1143"></oktfightcomponent><h2>FRANK VS. FRIMPONG</h2><p>A new threat is arriving in OKTAGON—undefeated German champion Robin Frank. His last fight lasted only 15 seconds, earning him a championship belt. Four of his five wins have been finishes, and he plans to continue that streak against Frimpong. But Frimpong isn’t one to back down. The OKTAGON Challenge: England vs. Ireland finalist is riding a two-fight win streak and brimming with confidence, promising his best performance yet. Known for his sharp words as well as his strikes, he even called out Paddy Pimblett recently. Love him or hate him, this fight is bound to be a spectacle.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1100"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PAULUS VS. SILVA</h2><p>Roman Paulus, the winner of OKTAGON Challenge Season 5, is a rising Slovak MMA star determined to reach the top. With 11 wins and three dominant submission victories in a row, including a victory over Elonen-Kulmala, he is making his mark. At just 24, he’s on the path to greatness. However, standing in his way is Silva, an 11-year older Brazilian "Karate Kid" with one goal—to showcase his devastating power. A feared striker on the Brazilian circuit, he recently knocked out Mack in just 36 seconds at PML. Now, he’s expanding his dominance to Slovakia, making it clear that his name will soon strike fear in the division. Two styles, two generations, one goal—victory.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1148"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BATFALSKÝ VS. BATOBO</h2><p>Jakub Batfalský achieved his dream in December—after years of waiting, he celebrated his first OKTAGON victory in style. He knocked out Toporcer in brutal fashion, proving he's one of the top Czech prospects. Three straight wins, four first-round finishes, and a clear message—he’s on the rise. In Stuttgart, he’s looking for another victim. His challenge? Joel Batobo, an undefeated German champion making his OKTAGON debut with a mission—to showcase his dominant grappling. All three of his wins have come via first-round submission, and once he gets opponents to the ground, there’s no escape. Batfalský must be wary—if the fight goes to the mat, it could be over in seconds.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1147"></oktfightcomponent><h2>LIGOCKI VS. LORENZ</h2><p>A last-minute Czech-German showdown! Daniel Ligocki doesn’t mess around. Just two weeks after his OKTAGON debut, he’s back and hungry for another victory. He impressed in his debut by finishing Schober in just 3.5 minutes, proving he’s a rising force. Now, he has another test and a chance to add a fourth professional win. Facing him is Erik Lorenz, a Magdeburg fighter determined to defend his home turf. A seasoned kickboxer with solid amateur experience, he entered the pro scene last November with a dominant first-round Ground &amp; Pound stoppage. Ligocki barely left the cage, but Lorenz has the home-crowd advantage. Who will claim this crucial win?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1159"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DALASLAN VS. ŠIMKOVÁ</h2><p>Alina Dalaslan—the German cage beauty and one of the biggest MMA prospects in the country—is undefeated. She’s the reigning world and German champion of 2024, unbeaten in amateur MMA, and boasts an 11-0 record in K1. Now, she makes her professional debut, eager to prove she belongs at the top.</p><p>Her opponent, Kamila Šimková, is a two-time Czech champion with six pro fights under her belt. With three wins, one finish, and valuable experience, she might have the edge over the debuting talent. Will raw potential or experience prevail?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1099"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ENZ VS. BAJRAMI</h2><p>Enz is a versatile fighter with a black belt in BJJ and a clear goal – to finish the fight before it goes to the judges. All three of his victories came in the first round, and he has already shown in OKTAGON that he can hold his own against big names. In his debut against German Challenge finalist Shaaban, he fought a close battle, with one judge even scoring the fight in his favor. This time, however, he doesn’t want to leave any room for doubt – he desperately needs a win and is determined to get it. Standing in his way is the German demolition machine, Bajrami. Five knockouts, a 100% finishing rate, and an aggressive style that overwhelms opponents from the very first seconds. With a boxing background, he delivers devastating punches that you don’t want to take. Enz will have to close the distance and take the fight to the ground, or he’ll find himself in an extremely dangerous hunt.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1150"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>OKTAGON 68 is tomorrow—be part of MMA history!</strong></p>

<p>The action-packed OKTAGON 68 is heading to Stuttgart, bringing a card full of fantastic fighters. With these insights, you'll definitely stand out on Saturday!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/132b87f6-f94b-4361-a89f-3cf62cd2d44d/cs.1741278405904.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6c6d748f-94c4-4056-91c7-0222c91ee4b6/cs.1741278411824.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>FLEURY? A CHAPTER OF HIS OWN</h2><p>We have to dedicate a special section to the champion on this card—Will Fleury. The Irish powerhouse is pure entertainment—his December fight against Karlos Vémola made headlines worldwide. But what you might not know is that the current light heavyweight champion has been undefeated for over four years (making it the 5th longest winning streak in the organization) and is also the only fighter in the world to have taken Vémola down five times in a single fight! Will he add the title of double champion to his impressive stats?</p><h2>RECORDS TO REMEMBER</h2><p>Fleury isn’t the only one boasting remarkable statistics and records. His opponent, <strong>Todev</strong>, holds a 100% takedown defense rate, which will make their upcoming title bout even more intriguing! Frimpong’s opponent, <strong>Frank</strong>, has remained undefeated for four and a half years. Meanwhile, <strong>Roman Paulus</strong> is seen as a major MMA prospect, but few people know that, along with Keita, he holds the record for the most defended takedowns in OKTAGON!</p><p>Another unique accomplishment belongs to<strong> Bartl</strong>, who is still the only fighter to ever win a fight in the yellow-and-black cage via Reverse Triangle Choke.</p><h2>FINISHES? NO, THANK YOU!</h2><p>OKTAGON 68 also presents a chance to shatter some undefeated records. The card features a number of fighters who have never been finished. <strong>Todev</strong> and <strong>Paulus</strong> have never lost by TKO or KO. Meanwhile, no one has ever managed to win by submission with <strong>Schwindt</strong>, <strong>Kopera</strong>, <strong>Bajrami</strong>, or<strong> Šimková</strong>. Will these records be crushed this weekend, or will they stand strong against the next big challenge?</p><h2>A TOUCH OF NOSTALGIA</h2><p>This Saturday’s fight card is packed with sentiment and milestone moments. <strong>Alan Omer</strong>, the fighter who overcame an aggressive brain tumor, is returning to the cage after more than four years. <strong>Bartl</strong> might feel nostalgic too, as he knows OKTAGON inside out—he has been part of the promotion since the very first OKTAGON Challenge!

THE BEST FACTS ABOUT OKTAGON 68: SHINE WITH THESE INSIGHTS!

<p>OKTAGON 68 will deliver an epic clash between two elite fighters who are determined to claim victory. While Todev is making his second attempt at heavyweight gold, standing in his way is Will Fleury—the reigning light heavyweight champion—who is chasing history as a two-division titleholder.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/2ca18560-fd98-4482-9cb5-91298c9fb15f/cs.1741187821049.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a6c7c1b5-03d3-42ee-ad85-732db6bb1f06/cs.1741187827444.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p>Will Todev’s impenetrable takedown defense and devastating knockout power be enough, or will Fleury’s elite grappling and relentless dominance lead him to victory?</p><h2>LAZAR TODEV: BULGARIA’S MASS DESTRUCTION WEAPON</h2><p>Todev is the highest-ranked active heavyweight in OKTAGON and the first Bulgarian ever to fight for the title in the organization. He was set to challenge for the throne once before, but after the cancellation of his fight at OKTAGON 64, he lost his shot at a rematch with Hatef Moeil. Now, he’s back—stronger, more experienced, and hungrier than ever.</p><p>What does he bring to the fight?</p><p>✅ 8 TKO/KO victories</p><p>✅ Never been finished by TKO/KO</p><p>✅ 3rd fastest submission in OKTAGON heavyweight history</p><p>✅ Bulletproof takedown defense</p><p>Todev has proven to be incredibly difficult to take down and delivers thunderous KO shots in the stand-up. His power is terrifying—one clean shot is all it takes to end a fight. But will that be enough against Fleury’s strategy and fight IQ?</p><h2>WILL FLEURY: THE IRISH CONQUEROR AIMING FOR TWO BELTS</h2><p>Will Fleury is already the ruler of OKTAGON’s light heavyweight division. At OKTAGON 65, he defeated Karlos Vémola in a thrilling five-round battle, proving that his ground game and fight discipline are world-class. But now, he wants to do something only a select few have accomplished—become a two-division champion.</p><p>And he’s no easy opponent, as his credentials show:</p><p>✅ Highest-ranked active light heavyweight in OKTAGON</p><p>✅ 2nd highest-ranked male fighter in the organization</p><p>✅ First Irish champion in OKTAGON history</p><p>✅ Over 4 years undefeated</p><p>✅ First fighter to take Vémola down five times in a single fight</p><p>Fleury’s dominance doesn’t come from wild exchanges but from precise technique, ground control, and sheer resilience. He survived Vémola’s aggression and relentless pressure, proving his durability in a grueling five-round war. Will he dominate once again?</p><h2>ONLY ONE CAN RULE</h2><p>Todev is a relentless bulldozer who has never been knocked out and is a lethal striker. Fleury, on the other hand, is a technically brilliant strategist who knows how to dismantle his opponents. The winner will walk away with the heavyweight belt and a place among OKTAGON legends.</p><p>Who will be crowned the new champion?</p><p><strong>Don't miss this heavyweight war!

TODEV VS. FLEURY BY THE NUMBERS: WILL POWER OR STRATEGY PREVAIL?

<p>Denis Frimpong is the kind of fighter you either love or hate. Confident, cocky, provocative. Inside the cage? Ruthless. Outside of it? A total showman! What can we expect from his return to the OKTAGON cage?</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7fbefb10-059f-45fc-bd9d-2e1716fbb28a/cs.1741013788302.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/81a5ef99-3668-4d79-9fab-82d621148c09/cs.1741013794598.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>A TOUGH BEGINNING</h2><p>Frimpong grew up in a small Irish town, a quiet place steeped in Catholic traditions. As you might imagine, it wasn’t the easiest environment for a child of an African father and a Yugoslavian mother. Being mixed-race, he never fully fit into any community and struggled for years with a sense of not belonging.</p><p>His strict father, who taught him to always be tough and stand his ground, likely played a role in his eventual passion for MMA. Young Denis was a wild troublemaker and a natural-born fighter, but he also had an exceptional talent for athletics, which earned him a university scholarship. However, his athletic career never took off, and after a turbulent adolescence filled with wild parties and reckless behavior, he finally found himself on the mats of a jiu-jitsu gym. That was the moment he fell in love with combat sports.</p><h2>A STANDOUT STAR IN OKTAGON CHALLENGE</h2><p>Frimpong took his first steps into professional MMA by joining the UK vs. Ireland edition of OKTAGON Challenge. There, he trained under Paddy Holohan and alongside his close friend Shem Rock (no surprise that these two hit it off).</p><p>He turned heads not just with his larger-than-life personality in the house but also with his outstanding performances inside the cage. His head kick KO against his biggest rival Gelezi was labeled by Ondřej Novotný as one of the best he had ever seen. His semifinal bout was another highlight—a hard-fought decision win over Gavin in a thrilling battle.</p><p>But then came the final and a harsh reality check—Frimpong, who had been on fire, was shut down by the unassuming finalist Staines. In a classic case of humility overcoming arrogance, Frimpong’s haters had a field day.</p><h2>GOING PRO</h2><p>Despite his loss, Frimpong instantly became an even bigger star than the actual series winner. And it wasn’t by chance—he had something to say about everything and everyone. His rise only accelerated with his first professional victories over Široký and Mullen, making it clear that this train wasn’t stopping anytime soon.</p><p><strong>Here’s something not many people know:</strong> besides MMA, Frimpong is also a huge fan of anime, juggling, and fire performances (he doesn’t just spit fire on social media…).</p><h2>A REFORMED WILD CHILD?</h2><p>For a moment, it seemed like Frimpong’s wildest days were behind him. The birth of his son and his focused return to the yellow-and-black cage suggested a new, calmer era. But true to form, the fiery Irishman hasn’t let up—he’s back to stirring the pot with his trash talk and bold callouts. Most recently, he even took shots at the famous Paddy Pimblett.</p><p>But now, he faces a serious test. In Stuttgart, he takes on OKTAGON’s newest addition, Robin Frank, a German champion who won his last fight in just 15 seconds! Will we see Frimpong pushed to his limits?</p><p><strong>LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM? No matter which side you're on, one thing is certain—you don't want to miss Frimpong’s next fight. OKTAGON 68 is bringing Europe’s best MMA show on March 8th!</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="105"></okteventcomponent>

SCORECARDS FROM OKTAGON 67: CHECK OUT THE FIGHTS THROUGH THE JUDGES' EYES

<p>A new flyweight champion, broken hearts for Kozma and Petrášek fans, but also euphoric moments in a series of first-round victories. Hulme confirmed his role as a heavy favorite, while Samsonidse and Cordero once again proved their strength. The best night of all, however, belonged to Szabová, Smolková, Mudroch, Škvor, and Ligocki.</p><p>Check out the detailed results of all fights:</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/5e7d229b-b80b-4541-8b4f-772485b12d1f/cs.1740264239135.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/71ef5200-7ce2-4783-a88c-c42fc0d591ad/cs.1740264262939.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>CREASEY VS. ADAMIA</h2><p>The title fight delivered a long contest with a rather cautious pace. Both fighters took their time studying each other, and throughout the bout, they seemed more focused on avoiding damage than dealing it. Most of the action took place in one section of the cage, with Adamia consistently pressuring Creasey against the fence. It was a display of high fight IQ from both competitors, but at times, it felt more like a game of strategy than action. Despite this, the fight remained highly tense until the final round. In the end, Beno Adamia secured victory by split decision, becoming the new flyweight champion. The Georgian warrior battled through five hard rounds to claim his belt.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1087"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TIPSPORT PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT: KOZMA VS. PUKAČ</h2><p>The most anticipated fight of the night for Czechoslovak fans ended in a shocking fashion. Kozma received a hero’s welcome in the arena, but unfortunately, that wasn’t enough. The fight started with a solid right hand from Pukač, which immediately rocked Kozma, setting the tone for the rest of the fight. Another well-placed strike sent the former champion crashing to the ground, and Pukač quickly finished him. A heartbreaking moment for one great career, but the biggest win of another—Robo Pukač will never forget this victory. Riding the high of his success, he respectfully called out Christian Eckerlin right after the fight. Will we see this matchup next?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1065"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PETRÁŠEK VS. STANTON</h2><p>The second fight in the Tipsport Gamechanger tournament followed a repetitive pattern over three rounds. Stanton focused on taking the fight to the ground early, while Petrášek seemed off his game. Although he managed to defend bad positions and occasionally threatened submissions, his efforts were ineffective. Stanton repeatedly secured dominant positions and delivered damaging ground strikes. A disappointing result for Czech fans of "Meloun," but a decisive victory for the Englishman, who now advances in the tournament.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1119"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MICHAILIDIS VS. HULME</h2><p>The dark horse of the tournament, Hulme, lived up to expectations. In the first round, both heavyweights exchanged powerful strikes, but Hulme’s relentless boxing proved superior. A crushing left hand sent Michailidis to the canvas, and although the Greek fighter initially defended well, he couldn’t hold on for long. In just 2 minutes and 20 seconds, Hulme eliminated one of the division’s best, sending a clear message to future opponents—he’s here to shake up the tournament and fight for the big prize.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1120"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SAMDONIDSE VS. JIMENEZ</h2><p>What a spectacle! This fight was a brutal, bloody war. The first round was filled with wild exchanges, and Jimenez even dropped Samsonidse with a knockdown. However, the Costa Rican entered the second round battered—his face cut and his leg injured, making it difficult to move. Despite this, he kept engaging in thrilling exchanges and repeatedly rocked Samsonidse while avoiding his traps. But in the third round, his injured leg became his downfall, leading to the fight’s end. An incredible battle, but the victory ultimately went to Niko Samsonidse.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1128"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SZABOVÁ VS. FARIA</h2><p>The undefeated Szabová maintained her flawless record, though this time with a rather unusual submission win. The experienced Brazilian opponent was less active than "Silent Killer," who landed powerful strikes, knees, and elbows. Szabová then set up a submission attempt, but before she could fully apply it, Faria unexpectedly tapped out. A bizarre finish, but a win is a win—proving once again that Szabová is a dangerous contender who has now made a strong case for a title shot.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1135"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ŠKVOR VS. ZOVAK</h2><p>Dan Škvor didn’t want to be left behind in this action-packed night. He came, saw, and conquered—submitting his Serbian opponent in just 26 seconds! One submission attempt was all it took.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1138"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ĎATELINKA VS. CORDERO</h2><p>Tonight, there was little room for second rounds, and Cordero knew it. Determined to make up for his previous disqualification loss against Ďatelinka, he entered the fight with focus. Initially hesitant to engage on the ground, Ďatelinka eventually got involved in fast-paced exchanges, switching between different striking styles. However, one critical mistake allowed Cordero to lock in an arm-triangle choke, putting his Slovak opponent to sleep. The Třinec crowd wasn’t happy with the result, but Cordero attempted to win them over with a post-fight greeting in Czech.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1090"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MUDROCH VS. BUZDUGAN</h2><p>Tomáš Mudroch was already seen as a promising newcomer, but nobody expected this! The Ostrava powerhouse cleverly lured Buzdugan into a ground exchange but ended the fight before his opponent even got close—landing the first-ever upkick knockout in OKTAGON history! And he did it in just 1 minute and 22 seconds. This wild finisher is sure to make waves in the MMA world.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1089"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SMOLKOVÁ VS. ÁLVAREZ</h2><p>The women delivered once again. Veronika Smolková proved her fantastic form by outlasting Álvarez in a well-controlled, three-round battle. The Spanish fighter attempted to keep Smolková pinned against the fence, but the Slovak fighter maintained control, landing hard knees and strikes. None of Álvarez’s takedowns led to meaningful control, and Smolková consistently dictated the pace. She invited her opponent into boxing exchanges, thrilling the crowd with her striking. Though she didn’t secure a finish, she earned the biggest win of her career. Will a title shot come next?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1091"></oktfightcomponent><h2>LIGOCKI VS. SCHOBER</h2><p>If you snooze, you lose! That was the case for anyone who missed the opening minutes of this stacked card. Třinec didn’t have to wait long for a celebration, as Ligocki delivered an early highlight. Schober pressured him against the fence, but this strategy backfired. After three minutes, Ligocki unleashed a devastating flurry of strikes that buckled his opponent’s knees. A final series of elbows forced the referee to step in—securing Ligocki a TKO victory in the first round for his OKTAGON debut!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1105"></oktfightcomponent>

ADAMIA</h2><p>The flyweight title fight is here! Sam Creasey, former two-time Cage Warriors champion and current OKTAGON king, prepares for his first title defense. Ranked #62 in the world, the BJJ black belt boasts 5 KOs and 8 submissions, making him one of the most well-rounded fighters in the division. Facing him is the relentless Georgian warrior Beno Adamia, who has been demolishing opponents for the past three years. With five consecutive wins, five first-round finishes, and four submissions, he arrives in peak form after competing in ACB and M-1, determined to dethrone the champion.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1087"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KOZMA VS. PUKAČ</h2><p>The Pink Panther is back! Former six-time OKTAGON champion and legend of the promotion, David Kozma, has accepted the challenge from "Bratislava Prince" Robo Pukač, with fans voting to make this fight happen. Pukač is in top shape after his career-best performance in Bratislava, where he outstruck Glory veteran Diedrick. Now overflowing with confidence, he’s looking for the biggest win of his career, right in Kozma’s backyard. Will David Kozma reclaim his place at the top, or is this the end of an era?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1065"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PETRÁŠEK VS. STANTON</h2><p>Miloš "Meloun" Petrášek, a fan favorite and student of André Reinders, is preparing for the biggest challenge of his career in the million-dollar Tipsport Gamechanger tournament. He dreams of taking home the grand prize, but his first-round opponent is a tough one—Mick Stanton. The ruthless Englishman recently stopped Wojciechowski and has his eyes set on advancing. Both fighters have the same goal: move forward and get one step closer to glory. Who will take the first step toward triumph?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1119"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MICHAILIDIS VS. HULME</h2><p>The Greek Spartan is back! Andreas Michailidis, a finalist in the first Tipsport Gamechanger, returns with one goal—to go all the way this time. Last year, he battled through Silva, Grabinski, and Glismann but ultimately fell short. Now, he’s determined to make things right. However, his first-round opponent is no easy task. Mark Hulme, a fresh face in OKTAGON and a Rear Naked Choke specialist, brings a dominant grappling game. As a training partner of UFC champion Dricus Du Plessis, Hulme has choked out half of his opponents and aims to do the same again.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1120"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ĎATELINKA VS. CORDERO</h2><p>A rematch between two dangerous strikers in a reserve fight for Tipsport Gamechanger 3 promises a fast and furious showdown. Former title challenger Milan Ďatelinka, with ten finishes to his name, has already faced Cordero once, but their fight ended in a no-contest due to an illegal strike to the back of the head. Now, he’s ready to finish what he started. Cordero, however, is just as dangerous—his KO record is terrifying, from his 37-second debut finish to a high kick knockout at Štvanice in 22 seconds, followed by a recent submission victory over Taburcean. This one will be intense and explosive!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1090"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ŠKVOR VS. ZOVAK</h2><p>Czech stand-up legend and OKTAGON Underground champion, Daniel Škvor, returns to action after nearly a year! Ranked #4 in the light heavyweight division, he’s known for his devastating punches, with four first-round knockouts, including a massive win over Martin Zawada. His goal is clear—get closer to a title shot. Facing him is Zovak, a dangerous striker with eleven knockouts and three submissions. He has already fought Čepo and brings extensive experience from MMA, boxing, and kickboxing, making him a real threat. Can the seasoned veteran withstand the challenge from this experienced newcomer?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1138"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SAMSONIDSE VS. JIMENEZ</h2><p>OKTAGON’s top featherweight, Niko Samsonidse, is back and aiming for the top once again! A BJJ black belt with a well-rounded skill set, he has secured ten finishes, eight of them in the first round. He has already taken down big names like Paulus, Hantea, and Torres and was dominating the first round against Keita in their title fight. Now, he needs a big win to earn another title shot. Standing in his way is Edgar Delgado Jimenez, a four-time Lux Fight League champion riding a six-fight winning streak. With four title victories and a 100% finishing rate, he is a deadly threat. “I’m ready to fight anyone, anywhere,” declares Jimenez, determined to prove he is OKTAGON’s next big thing.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1128"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MUDROCH VS. BUZDUGAN</h2><p>Two debutants stepping into the OKTAGON cage for the first time! Czech fighter Tomáš Mudroch, representing Fighting Club Ostrava, will have the backing of the home crowd and the motivation of a fresh start in the organization. His opponent is a tough challenger from Moldova—an aggressive finisher with seven professional fights, most of them ending inside the distance. With a mix of lightning-fast knockouts and slick submissions, Buzdugan commands respect and is ready to make his mark in OKTAGON. Who will claim their first win under the yellow and black banner?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1089"></oktfightcomponent><h2>LIGOCKI VS. SCHOBER</h2><p>A new Czech prospect enters OKTAGON as Daniel Ligocki, undefeated as an amateur and ruthless in his professional career, makes his debut. His journey started with Japanese jiu-jitsu under the guidance of a Catholic priest, and today, he’s known for his ice-cold composure—his last fight in Třinec ended with a submission win over Mané in front of a roaring hometown crowd. But now he faces a far more experienced opponent, Dominik Schober, a tough Austrian warrior with 11 finishes. With five knockouts, five first-round submissions, and incredible resilience—he went the distance with Cordero and had a war with Akipa—Schober knows he needs this win. “Fighting is either your life, or it will consume you,” says Schober, fully aware of the stakes.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1105"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SZABOVÁ VS. FARIA</h2><p>Lucia Szabová is back on her path to the title! The undefeated world-ranked #26 bantamweight, nicknamed "Silent Killer," has finished six opponents and made a stunning return after a three-year hiatus—first stopping Gumienna, then securing a hard-fought win over Álvarez. She was just a step away from a title shot before illness forced her out. Now, she faces a seasoned challenge in Kalindra Faria, a Brazilian veteran with 30 fights and championships in three organizations. A former UFC and KSW fighter, she was once ranked #3 in the world at strawweight. Her record speaks for itself—7 KOs, 6 submissions. If Szabová wants another crack at the title, she must get past one of the most experienced opponents of her career.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1135"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SMOLKOVÁ VS. ÁLVAREZ</h2><p>Veronika Smolková has made her dream come true—not only is she in OKTAGON, but she has also risen to the top of the flyweight division! After a dominant 66-second finish over Simplicio, she skyrocketed to the #1 contender spot. MMA is her life, and her results prove it—three straight wins, all inside the distance, and an ever-growing call for a title shot. But now, she faces her toughest test yet—Aitana "Pitbull" Álvarez. The fierce Spaniard trains at the prestigious Allstars Training Center alongside global stars, has battled elite opponents like Szabová, and even defeated British prospect Morris. With 14 professional fights and no losses inside the distance, Álvarez is determined to block Smolková’s path to gold.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1091"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>OKTAGON 67 is just around the corner!
