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>

OKTAGON 67 TOURNAMENT RESULTS: NIGHT FULL OF LIGHTNING-FAST FINISHES AND THE NEW CHAMPION 

<p>A spectacular night in Třinec is upon us. Take a look at the stacked OKTAGON 67 card, fight by fight:</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/849b58dc-6cb2-4fe5-ba4f-215958728a08/cs.1740160417202.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/60c264b0-8b3c-4147-a5f1-d79863283404/cs.1740160420621.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>CREASEY VS. 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!

Instead of heart-shaped cakes, they focus on weight cuts, and the sweetest words they exchange are often valuable grappling tips.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/f2312644-61cc-4427-a852-d596042d04f4/cs.1739542827616.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/0b7b5301-2bef-4569-9988-1f3e21edd153/cs.1739542833323.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p>Let’s take a look at the most beloved fighting couples in OKTAGON:</p><h2>💘 SZABOVÁ &amp; ŠIMKULIČ 💘 ENDLESS SUPPORT</h2><p>Lucie Szabová shines in the OKTAGON cage, and although illness temporarily postponed her title shot, no one doubts it’s just a matter of time. At home, she has great support—her partner Andrej Šimkulič is not only an experienced fighter in the yellow-and-black cage but also a natural in combat sports, whether it's Muay Thai or winning WKU championship titles. He supports Lucka at tournaments and is always the first to celebrate her victory when her hand is raised. Sweet, right?</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFVv-fAN7qC/?hl=cs"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>💘 SMOLKOVÁ &amp; STANČÍK 💘 A DATE AT A TOURNAMENT</h2><p>Lucie Szabová’s friend and flyweight division’s top-ranked fighter, Veronika Smolková, agrees—having a fighter at home is simply awesome. She is in a relationship with Muay Thai fighter Peter Stančík, whose life also revolves around training, dieting, and fights. And when they both have a free day? Naturally, they head to another tournament!</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFVC_RmNvuM/?hl=cs"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>💘 ČEPO &amp; KRAJČOVIČ 💘 CHAMPIONS OF THE LOVE DIVISION</h2><p>A legendary fighting couple? That would be Vlasto Čepo and Lucia Krajčovič. These two never fail to surprise us—remember when Lucia secretly took a fight on Štvanice after maternity leave without telling her partner? He was completely shocked when he saw the mysterious name appear on the fight card. Their love language?

SCORECARDS FROM OKTAGON 66: SEE THE FIGHTS THROUGH THE EYES OF THE JUDGES

<p>Relive the unforgettable fight card from Düsseldorf with detailed tournament results. Lightning-fast finishes, huge surprises, and the first round of the million-dollar Tipsport Gamechanger tournament. The historic first OKTAGON MMA night in Düsseldorf delivered a card packed with one spectacular performance after another, many lasting just a few seconds. </p><p><strong>Check out the detailed results of all the fights with us:</strong></p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c539f1dc-e4dc-4c08-b02f-13da0e3458e0/cs.1738599153163.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6e6cd7f7-2186-4eb1-97d2-a9523b2f8fc9/cs.1738599172562.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>ENGIZEK VS. ONISZCZUK</h2><p>The middleweight champion faced a tough test against a last-minute replacement from Poland. From the start, Engizek was visibly cautious but composed. Oniszczuk wasn’t overly active but read his opponent extremely well. And when he did strike, it was impactful. We witnessed three rounds of stand-up action, with constant tension that an early stoppage could happen—but it never came. The fight was filled with intense focus on both sides, but ultimately, the champion's superior quality prevailed. He knew exactly what he was doing, staying much more active throughout the fight. Engizek won all three rounds on points, but with great respect for his opponent and with the overwhelming support of the roaring Düsseldorf crowd behind him.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1086"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ESKIEV VS. WANDERLEY</h2><p>This was a tough grind for the favored Eskiev! Brazilian Wanderley certainly didn’t look like someone who had accepted the fight just two days prior. In the first round, he came within inches of finishing the hometown favorite. He forced Eskiev into a cautious and strategic mode, balancing on the fine line between victory and defeat. However, Lom-Ali managed to turn the tide in the second round—first by chopping down his opponent’s leg and then gradually dismantling him. Wanderley’s resilience was unbelievable, even Eskiev seemed surprised at how much damage the Brazilian could take. Eventually, the fight moved to the ground, where Eskiev delivered the final blows in an endless series of powerful strikes. Euphoria for Düsseldorf, but also a commendable performance from Wanderley.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1080"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PEŇÁZ VS. ZAWADA</h2><p>David Zawada wasted no time and applied pressure from the very start. He landed clean strikes and then engaged in a long clinch battle at the fence, where Peňáz, as always, refused to be taken down. Zawada certainly pushed the Czech fighter to his limits, and when their clinch battle ended, less than a minute remained in the first round. That’s when Peňáz saw his moment. He seized the momentum and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks. The hometown fighter crumbled right before our eyes. There was no doubt about the winner when the referee stepped in. Peňáz secured his spot in the million-dollar tournament and earned his tenth OKTAGON victory without a single loss. Could this be Matěj Peňáz’s year?!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1115"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TIPSPORT PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT: LENGÁL VS. ILBAY</h2><p>Although the previous fights had their fair share of drama and surprises, Lengál and Ilbay took things to a whole new level. Two elite strikers showcased some ground skills, but the main action took place on the feet. In the first round, Ilbay miraculously survived a clean knee strike from Vlado, which seemed to fuel him and score him some crucial points. The breathtaking exchanges continued, and in the second round, it was clear that Vlado was running out of gas. Ilbay capitalized on this and finished him with a devastating combination in under 30 seconds—one that the Czech fighter had no answer for. "El Pistolero," with a bonus for the best performance of the night in the bag, has fired another deadly bullet!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1092"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KOHOUT VS. AKIPA</h2><p>The opening bout of the main card brought plenty of drama and kept the judges busy. Wild exchanges, heavy strikes, and intense clinch battles—it was all there. However, one fighter had the upper hand. Tonight, that was Akipa. Faster, sharper, and technically superior in all three rounds. Kohout, though, was not far behind. Entering the third round, knowing he needed a finish, he went all-in, landing several powerful shots that briefly rocked Akipa. However, he always fell just short, missing the one or two crucial strikes needed to seal the deal. In the end, Akipa won by decision, but with full respect to his opponent for a strong performance.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1096"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KHAJEVAND VS. RAYOMBA</h2><p>Hojat Khajevand wasn’t fazed by a last-minute opponent switch. The first round was evenly matched—until the second minute. Rayomba was so focused on defending against potential takedowns that he completely overlooked the possibility of being punched. Khajevand took full advantage, landing a perfectly timed, powerful right hand that sent his opponent crashing to the mat. He followed up with ground strikes to make sure the fight was over, but the referee was already stepping in. An outstanding punch—Khajevand secured his spot in the million-dollar tournament with a single strike. In this sport, anything can change in an instant!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1129"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SOLAJA D. VS. FEDERICO</h2><p>The second Solaja brother delivered the first fight of the evening to go to the judges’ scorecards. The fight started as a striking battle, and when Federico finally got Solaja to the ground, he surprisingly showed little offense. The referee stood them back up due to inactivity. From that moment on, Solaja regained control, landing a brutal high kick to Federico’s forehead and dominating the rest of the round. As the second round began, Solaja was in complete control, showcasing his superiority. The pattern continued until the final bell. Federico had a few brief glimmers of hope, but fatigue prevented him from pulling off a miracle comeback. The judges were unanimous—another home victory for Düsseldorf!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1097"></oktfightcomponent><h2>AL VS. KOVÁČ</h2><p>Al set a relentless pace against Kováč, who was making his professional debut—a brutal debut at that. Al opened up Kováč with a strike that drew blood, then took him to the ground. After failing to secure an armbar, he switched to a relentless ground-and-pound strategy. The Slovakian debutant initially defended well but couldn’t hold out for long. The referee stepped in, making it official—Al claimed a dominant first-round victory.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1094"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DULATOV VS. IGHZAWI</h2><p>It seemed like the prelim fighters were in a hurry tonight! Dulatov, another Düsseldorf native, received thunderous applause from the crowd. He entered the cage alongside his brother and didn’t waste any time. After just 16 seconds (and without a single strike), he locked in the fastest guillotine submission in OKTAGON history, forcing Ghith to tap out. Dulatov almost seemed disappointed that he didn’t get to fight longer, but one thing was certain—he gave the home crowd another reason to celebrate.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1079"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SOLAJA Z. VS. ELIÁŠ</h2><p>The first Solaja brother followed the evening’s fast pace. After Eliáš refused to touch gloves, Solaja wasted no time, charging in with a flurry of strikes. Eliáš had no response—not even when Solaja slipped and fell to the ground. Instead of capitalizing, Eliáš seemed to just catch his breath before being hit with another barrage of strikes. After 94 seconds, it was all over—he came, he saw, and he conquered in his own city, just as Zoran Solaja had envisioned.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1095"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SMAJIĆ VS. MISTELI</h2><p>The night began with a massive surprise. Many doubted the oldest fighter on the OKTAGON card, as reflected in the betting odds. Smajić took the first round, and the 12:1 betting odds against Misteli seemed justified. But no! At 2:30 of the second round, the Swiss fighter shocked everyone by securing a Rear Naked Choke, forcing the nearly 20-years-younger Smajić to tap. A stunning moment right at the start of the event—wow!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1122"></oktfightcomponent>

OKTAGON 66 TOURNAMENT RESULTS: LIGHTNING-FAST FINISHES, A CHAMPION’S TEST, AND A SHOCK FOR BETTORS

<p>This Saturday, OKTAGON MMA is heading to a new city—this time, Europe’s top MMA show will plant its flag in Düsseldorf, Germany, and you definitely have a lot to look forward to. Let’s break down the full fight card, match by match.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/38348218-e5e4-41ad-8b60-b32764c9f7d1/cs.1738336238627.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/83afdb33-feaa-4b36-9f4d-b40a761af682/cs.1738336246947.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER: ENGIZEK VS. ONISZCZUK</h2><p>The highlight of the evening will be the opening round match of the Tipsport Gamechanger, which this year will test the elite of the middleweight division. One of the most qualified contenders is, of course, OKTAGON Middleweight Champion Kerim Engizek, who claimed the throne in Frankfurt in front of 60,000 fans, taking the spot from Kincl. This time, he will compete in his hometown, where he will have massive support behind him as he defends his middleweight position for the first time. After multiple last-minute changes, he will face a determined opponent in OKTAGON newcomer Kamil Oniszczuk, a Polish fighter from Florida’s KILL CLIFF FC, known for his dangerous kicks. With ten victories to his name, he is hungry for another, one that could open the door to the million-dollar tournament.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1086"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ESKIEV VS. WANDERLEY</h2><p>Lom-Ali Eskiev is another huge name looking forward to the advantage of fighting on home soil. The KSW title challenger impressed OKTAGON fans last year when he came, saw, and destroyed Buki in the first round. He not only left a mark on the audience but also entered the lightweight rankings straight at the fifth position. It was immediately clear that a fighter like Eskiev has his sights set on the title. Facing him on short notice is Brazilian champion Wanderley Junior, a seasoned black belt with 17 victories, having finished 12 opponents in MMA—8 of them on the ground—while remaining undefeated in kickboxing. Nicknamed "Mexicano," he never backs down from a challenge, as proven by his six-fight winning streak.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1080"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER: PEŇÁZ VS. ZAWADA</h2><p>The second tournament match features an intriguing pair. Former title contender Peňáz has taken a year-long break, using it to his advantage. In OKTAGON, he remains undefeated after nine consecutive victories. However, his next opponent, David Zawada, is the highest-ranked challenger he has faced yet. With experience from the UFC and 30 professional fights under his belt, Zawada has been eyeing Peňáz since June, making this a must-watch bout.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1115"></oktfightcomponent><h2>LENGÁL VS. ILBAY</h2><p>These two fighters could easily compete for the title of best striker. Lengál, who made a rapid impact in OKTAGON with all his victories by KO, is a Czech national champion in both boxing and kickboxing, with numerous European and world accolades. Ilbay, however, is no stranger to success—he’s a world champion in boxing, and his punches have taken down many opponents. Will we see an all-out stand-up war, or will these strikers surprise us with something different?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1092"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KOHOUT VS. AKIPA</h2><p>Matouš Kohout has had a busy year—competing in Tipsport Gamechanger, facing tough opponents like Legierski and Stolze, and returning to welterweight, where he secured two wins in just a month. But he's not stopping there. Now, in Germany, he faces Cihad Akipa, an experienced fighter in boxing, kickboxing, and MMA, with most of his wins coming by finishes. European Muay Thai champion Kohout is determined to prove that Muay Thai is superior to K-1, the discipline his German opponent excels in.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1096"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER RESERVE BOUT: KHAJEVAND VS. RAYOMBA</h2><p>The first reserve fight of the new Tipsport Gamechanger season promises an intense battle. Iranian powerhouse Hojat Khajevand returns to the cage after a break, facing off against the relentless finisher Kennedy Rayomba. Khajevand, the conqueror of Mikulášek and Polívka, boasts seven wins, four of them by submission. A former Bundesliga wrestler, he has already tested himself against names like Fluery and Zawada, and his style could secure him a third victory in the black-and-yellow arena. But standing in his way is Rayomba, a hungry prospect with six wins, five of them finished in the very first round. "Mr. CGN" took this fight on extremely short notice, but that might just be his greatest advantage.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1129"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SOLAJA D. VS. FEDERICO</h2><p>Brothers on the card! The first is Daniel Solaja, an experienced striker from UFD Gym and a K-1 three-time world champion. Though relatively new to MMA, he has already secured two wins, including a first-round KO. His challenge will be facing the undefeated Raphael Federico, a BJJ black belt and three-time Italian champion who has honed his skills at the famous SBG gym in Ireland. Most of his victories have come before the final bell.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1097"></oktfightcomponent><h2>AL VS. KOVÁČ</h2><p>Al first made his mark in amateur MMA, where he became a two-time German champion and the top middleweight prospect. His explosive power was on display in his professional debut at OKTAGON 53, where he finished Votava in just 109 seconds. Now he faces Viktor Kováč, making his OKTAGON and professional MMA debut after a successful amateur career.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1094"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DULATOV VS. IGHZAWI</h2><p>Coming from a fighting family, Tamerlan Dulatov is one of four talented brothers. While his brother Islam is already making waves in the UFC, Tamerlan will step into the cage for the second time after a successful pro debut where he won in just 39 seconds. His opponent, 24-year-old Ghinth Ighzawi, is fulfilling his dream of fighting in a packed arena, moving from Syria to face his biggest challenge yet. Can he pull off an upset against the favored Dulatov?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1079"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SOLAJA Z. VS. ELIÁŠ</h2><p>And here comes the second brother! Zoran Solaja has earned two wins so far, both finishing in the second round at the exact 3:57 mark. He’ll be looking to add another knockout against his opponent, undefeated Slovakian talent Eliáš, who has finished all four of his professional opponents, three by submission. Eliáš made an impression in 2023 by knocking out Griessmann in the first round and even facing off against experienced fighter Krištofič in the Underground series. Can he maintain his unbeaten streak?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1095"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SMAJIĆ VS. MISTELI</h2><p>Talented Croatian fighter Smajić is a grappling champion with experience in KSW. Training at the prestigious UFD Gym, she has been eagerly waiting for her OKTAGON debut and aims to make a strong impression in the bantamweight division. Her opponent, Misteli, has had an impressive run over the past two years with seven fights and is currently on a winning streak. Remarkably, she only started her professional career at the age of 46, making her the oldest female fighter in OKTAGON history. As she says: "I'm old, I'm tired, but I'm still dangerous!"</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1122"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>Get ready for an action-packed night in Düsseldorf as OKTAGON 66 delivers one thrilling fight after another!</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="103"></okteventcomponent>

One of them is <strong>Salamone</strong>, who will go up against middleweight champion <strong>Engizek</strong> in the Tipsport Gamechanger tournament. Similarly, <strong>Matěj Peňáz</strong>, another contender in the million-dollar pyramid, will face his toughest challenge yet. His opponent, <strong>Zawada</strong>, is one of only four fighters in the world who have managed to defeat Engizek, making Peňáz's task anything but easy!</p><h2>UNFINISHED BUSINESS</h2><p>An intriguing statistic reveals that some fighters <strong>have never been</strong> <strong>finished</strong> in their careers. The upcoming battle between <strong>Lengál and Ilbay</strong> is particularly exciting—both elite strikers have never been knocked out or TKO'd, but they'll certainly aim to change that for their opponent. The same applies to <strong>Engizek</strong> and <strong>Akipa</strong>, while <strong>Salamone</strong> has never been <strong>submitted</strong>, though he enjoys handing them out to others.</p><h2>FIGHTING FOR THEIR CITY</h2><p>The city will shake to its core! OKTAGON’s debut in <strong>Düsseldorf</strong> brings a lineup full of hometown heroes, most of whom hail from the renowned UFD Gym. Fighters such as <strong>Engizek, Zawada, Dulatov, Ilbay, Al, Smajić</strong>, and both <strong>Solaja brothers</strong> will enjoy immense support from the local crowd. It’s going to be a challenge for their opponents to handle the pressure of such a home advantage.</p><h2>BREAKING INTO THE OKTAGON RECORD BOOKS</h2><p>OKTAGON 66 will feature some incredible record-breaking moments. <strong>Danielle Misteli</strong> is setting two records—she is the first-ever Swiss fighter in OKTAGON and, at 46 years old, the oldest competitor—male or female—to ever step into the cage. Despite her late start in professional MMA, she doesn't see her age as an obstacle.</p><p><strong>TIP FOR YOU:</strong> Ever wondered what it's like to start MMA at an age when most fighters have already retired?
