Na druhé straně klece ale bude stát polský tvrďák Onisczuk známý svými devastujícími kopy a pěti knokauty v postoji.

Oba zápasníci jsou tak natěšeni na to, že tentokrát si to vyříkají na sto procent. Ďatelinka alias „Mr. Comeback“ se vrátil do OKTAGONU po delší pauze loni v létě a dostál své přezdívky, když v Bratislavě zasadil fantastické KO. Na druhé straně je ale druhý knockoutový specialista Cordero, který má v poslední době neuvěřitelnou formu – jeho vítězství v prvních kolech mluví za vše.

<p>Denis Frimpong is sharpening his teeth for his fifth straight scalp. But Peter Gabal has matured as a fighter and believes he has what it takes to stop the loud Irishman. OKTAGON returns on September 20th to its German home – Frankfurt. The event will feature a number of local stars led by the phenomenal Vosgröne. Also on the card, the Irish-Czech clash between Frimpong and Gabal promises a wave of emotions.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7d2c1d0e-f645-4262-97df-91099a4d0a44/cs.1756319831072.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/adf5516d-0a85-4436-9fd2-a5b40d4dbc71/cs.1756319836077.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>FROM LONG JUMP TO OKTAGON: THE JOURNEY OF DENIS FRIMPONG</h2><p><strong>Denis “The Menace” Frimpong</strong> isn’t exactly well-liked in Czechia and Slovakia. His trash talk, confidence, and fighter’s ego don’t sit well with many fans. But Denis got used to that already as a child. Few people know that Denis was born in Austria, then moved with his family to Canada, and five years later to Ireland. Even in Ireland, they didn’t stay long in one place – first in Drogheda, then Cahan, and finally Dublin.</p><p>As a kid with dark skin in Ireland at the time, Denis was often the <strong>target of bullying</strong>. But “The Menace” wasn’t one to let things slide, which meant he often got into fights. During his teenage years, his athletic talent shone through when <strong>he became the Irish national champion</strong> <strong>in long jump</strong>. He only got into <strong>combat sports at 22</strong>, when he randomly started training Brazilian <strong>jiu-jitsu</strong>.</p><p>A few years later, he transitioned to MMA – his first amateur fight came in 2021, and just two years ago he turned professional. Yet today he fights like a seasoned veteran, waiting for his opponent’s mistake. His notoriety also grew after a video surfaced of a sparring session with UFC fighter Paddy Pimblett, who tried to put him in his place after Denis’ cheeky remarks to teammates.</p><h2>THE UNSTOPPABLE IRISH STORM</h2><p>Frimpong loves to talk, but he loves proving it in the cage even more. Some fans can’t stand him, others love him, but one thing is clear – <strong>Frimpong entertains</strong>. His mix of swagger and skill makes him a serious threat in the lightweight division, which currently has no king.</p><p>He is riding a<strong> four-fight win streak</strong> and holds the <strong>#10 spot in the rankings</strong>. His otherwise perfect OKTAGON run is blemished only by a loss to George Staines in the finals of OKTAGON Challenge: England vs. Ireland.</p><p>Since then, he has beaten every opponent – and in dominant fashion. Most recently, at OKTAGON 71 in May, he finished <strong>Arijan Topallaj with a third-round TKO</strong>, marking his first stoppage in the yellow-black cage. Now he faces his next challenge in Czech warrior Peter Gabal.</p><h2>THE FIGHTER REBIRTH OF PETER GABAL</h2><p><strong>Peter Gabal</strong> is a gritty Czech fighter who was never really considered a big prospect or a huge talent. But that has begun to change. Recently, he has spoken about feeling an inner transformation – becoming a different fighter than before. His professional<strong> record stands at 7–3</strong>, with <strong>four wins in his last five bouts</strong>.</p><p>In his last fight against Elias Jakobi, he showed <strong>tremendous heart</strong>. After eating a perfectly placed <strong>axe kick</strong> in round one that dropped him – with the referee close to stopping it – Peter survived. By round two, it was as if he<strong> had risen from the dead</strong>. He pushed forward, exchanged heavy blows, and eventually <strong>overwhelmed Jakobi with a TKO finish</strong>. At the post-fight press conference, he admitted he didn’t even remember the first round, but from the break between rounds onward, he was back in the fight.</p><p>Training under coach André Reinders, Peter is improving with each fight. He’s said he wants to beat a big name in OKTAGON and then call out Ivan Buchinger – and now he has the perfect opportunity. Love him or hate him, Frimpong is a big name in the lightweight division. His scalp would be the biggest win of Gabal’s career.</p><p>Will Peter build on his recent success and find the key to stop the Irish showman? Or will Frimpong celebrate another victory over a Czech fighter?</p><p><strong>Find out on September 20th in Frankfurt’s Festhalle! The event will also feature the return of Vosgröne, German legend Daniel Weichel, Vespaziani, Nafuka, and many more.

FRIMPONG HUNTS FOR HIS FIFTH STRAIGHT WIN. GABAL DREAMS OF A CAREER-DEFINING VICTORY

<p>On September 13th, Khalid “The Warrior” Taha steps into the OKTAGON cage to face undefeated German prospect Max Holzer. The promotion’s debut in Hannover promises a spectacular headliner that will have the fans on their feet.

His journey wasn’t easy—his roots and upbringing brought challenges. He started with taekwondo at age six and eventually transitioned to MMA, making his <strong>professional debut in 2013</strong> at <strong>25 years old</strong>. He stormed through the regional scene with 11 consecutive wins across promotions like Fair FC, GMC, and Japan’s Rizin.</p><p>During this time, fighters didn’t earn much, so Taha balanced training with a regular job. Still, his determination was relentless. His sister nicknamed him <strong>“The Warrior”</strong> because he always faced problems head-on—like a true fighter.</p><h2>TESTING HIMSELF AMONG THE ELITE</h2><p>It wasn’t long before the UFC came calling. Taha joined in 2018 and instantly made an impression. Against Salmon, he scored a <strong>25-second KO</strong>, and his battle with Barcelos earned Fight of the Night. UFC brass clearly believed in him, pairing him with tough opponents who could push him toward the bantamweight Top 10. Training at the world-famous <strong>AKA gym</strong> alongside stars like <strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov</strong> and <strong>Luke Rockhold</strong>, Taha had every chance to shine. Despite flashes of brilliance, he couldn’t secure consistent success in the UFC and returned to Europe after five fights.</p><h2>TWO-YEAR BREAK AND BIG OKTAGON RETURN</h2><p>In 2023, Taha fought once more, finishing Valentin with a first-round TKO at FNC. Then came a two-year break. During this time, he got married, bought a house, and started a family—finally enjoying the fruits of years of sacrifice. But the cage kept calling. His comeback came at <strong>OKTAGON 69 in Dortmund</strong>, where he handled the pressure of fighting at home and stopped dangerous Peruvian Jose Zarauza in the second round via TKO.</p><h2>VETERAN VS. RISING GERMAN STAR</h2><p>Now, in <strong>Hannover</strong>, Taha meets one of Germany’s brightest young hopes, <strong>Max Holzer</strong>. Riding an 11-fight win streak, Holzer’s rise mirrors Taha’s early career. This fight is a clash of eras: the seasoned veteran determined to prove he’s still elite vs. the fearless newcomer brimming with confidence.</p><p>Both men respect each other, but that hasn’t stopped the trash talk and heated social media exchanges. Their staredown is expected to be intense—but when the cage closes, it will be all-out war.</p><p><strong>On September 13th in Hannover, and just a week later in Frankfurt, fans will witness two unforgettable OKTAGON events filled with battles, emotions, and big returns. Not only will Taha face Holzer, but we’ll also see the comeback of Czech star David Dvořák and Bulgarian tank Lazar Todev.

RETURN OF THE WARRIOR: KHALID TAHA AIMS TO SHOCK HANNOVER AND MAX HOLZER

<p>The heavyweight division in OKTAGON is getting a fresh charge! On September 13th in Hannover, two massive warriors collide – Bulgaria’s #1 ranked heavyweight Lazar Todev and Brazilian veteran Luis Barbosa, who makes his debut in the yellow-and-black cage. This clash promises a classic battle of styles: elite jiu-jitsu vs. world-class takedown defense and dangerous striking.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/18085cca-1fda-430d-9d84-562d42b6b645/cs.1755874284437.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e87c0a02-6ef0-4333-a771-c02c8d40949d/cs.1755874289155.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>BARBOSA – BRAZILIAN WHO FOUGHT THE BEST</h2><p>European fans may see him as a new face, but in the MMA world, Barbosa comes with serious credentials. Over his career, he’s faced legends such as <strong>Francis Ngannou</strong> and <strong>Phil De Fries</strong>. Out of his 17 victories, he’s finished <strong>13 before the limit – 9 of them by submission</strong>. A black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu says it all – once Barbosa drags the fight to the mat, he’s deadly. Riding a four-fight win streak, a victory over Todev would immediately launch him among the top contenders for the heavyweight belt, where the division is waiting for the announcement of Fleury vs. Buday.</p><h2>TODEV: THE HEAVYWEIGHT GATEKEEPER</h2><p>Lazar “The Punisher” Todev has always been just one step away from capturing heavyweight gold, but the title has eluded him so far. His <strong>flawless takedown defense</strong> was only ever broken by Will Fleury in their legendary battle at OKTAGON 68. Outside of title bouts, Todev demolishes opponents one by one and has built a reputation as an <strong>unstoppable tank</strong> on the domestic scene – a fighter who can always surprise. That’s exactly why this matchup with Barbosa is so intriguing. His defense on the ground will be absolutely key. If he manages to keep the fight standing, his chances for victory rise significantly.</p><h2>A PIVOTAL CLASH FOR THE DIVISION’S FUTURE</h2><p>The heavyweight division in OKTAGON is hungry for big fights – and <strong>Todev vs. Barbosa</strong> is exactly what fans have been waiting for. A unique style clash that will determine whether rock-solid defense and striking prevail, or whether<strong> elite BJJ and submissions</strong> reign supreme. The outcome could reshape the entire division, with the winner putting himself firmly in line for a title shot.</p><p><strong>On September 13th, the stands of Hannover’s Zag Arena will shake under the weight of two giants throwing bombs. Todev vs. Barbosa is more than a fight – it’s a battle that may decide the next challenger for the winner of Fleury vs. Buday.

<p>The biggest challenge of his career awaits. On September 13 in Hannover, young Czech talent Jakub Batfalský will face the undefeated Gjoni Palokaj in OKTAGON.

His debut in the yellow-and-black cage didn’t go his way, losing a three-round battle on points to Sami Zarabi, but the experience proved invaluable.</p><p>Since then, he’s been unstoppable — <strong>five straight wins</strong>, the latest in front of a sold-out football stadium in Prague’s Eden, where he defeated veteran Karol Ryšavý. That win improved his record to 8–1 and earned him a shot against a Top 10 featherweight.

He enters as the underdog once again, but he’s already made a habit of surprising everyone. Can he find a way past the champ who hasn’t lost in 11 years?</p><p><strong>Hojat Khajevand</strong> finally gets his shot. After two wins in reserve bouts, he capitalized on his quarterfinal chance, narrowly defeating Wawrzyniak on points. Against all odds, he’s now one of the final four. His next opponent? The tournament’s biggest favorite, <strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong>. The Polish UFC veteran once again proved why he’s a threat to the entire division, completely neutralizing Marek Mazúch before sealing a TKO win late in round two. Can Khajevand withstand the onslaught, or will Jotko slice through to the final like a hot knife through butter? We will find out all this on October 4 in Bratislava!

Hulme dominated the first round, holding “Hambáč” down and hunting for a submission. Humburger weathered the storm, got back up, and turned the tide in round two, marching forward and dropping the favorite with an elbow. Referee stepped in – KO win for Humburger, who will face Engizek in the semifinals.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1204" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>KRZYSZTOF JOTKO vs. MAREK MAZÚCH</h2><p>If it had gone to points, the result would have been obvious – Jotko was in control throughout. Perfectly timed takedowns, heavy ground strikes, and zero chances for Mazúch to implement his game. The Polish veteran finished by TKO late in the second round, sparing the judges the math.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1225" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>PIOTR WAWRZYNIAK vs. HOJAT KHAJEVAND</h2><p>The only Gamechanger quarterfinal decided by the judges. Khajevand took round one with sharp striking, while round two went to Wawrzyniak, who also found success on the ground. The final round was close, but the judges saw a bit more work from the German fighter of Iranian descent. Hojat advances to face Jotko in the semifinals.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1240" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>RADEK ROUŠAL vs. ADRIAN HAMERSKI</h2><p>First round to Hamerski. In round two, the Pole slowed, Roušal unleashed combinations and those signature body shots that eventually broke his opponent. TKO win for “Ruchy” – no need for scorecards.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1207" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>DAVID ZAWADA vs. KAMIL ONISZCZUK</h2><p>The judges had to unravel this close contest. Oniszczuk defended takedowns well and used his height advantage, while Zawada pressed forward. As time went on, the Pole’s activity and accuracy increased. All three judges scored it for Oniszczuk in every round. He now serves as the alternate for the Gamechanger semifinals.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1218" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL LIGOCKI vs. ANDRE LANGEN</h2><p>Scorecards stayed blank – Ligocki ended it in round one with two precise knees to the head. Langen went down and the referee waved it off. Third straight first-round win for the Třinec hurricane.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1242" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>VOJTĚCH KHOL vs. RAPHAEL FEDERICO</h2><p>Federico edged the first round with more activity in the stand-up, but Khol threatened with takedowns. In the second, the Czech took over – one judge even scored it 10–8. Khol sealed the deal in round three with a submission.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1241" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>MICHAELA HLAVÁČIKOVÁ vs. NIAMH KINEHAN</h2><p>The opening bout was the only women’s fight and the only one to go the distance. An even striking battle with both trading hard shots. Hlaváčiková started well, but Kinehan was more active late. The judges narrowly awarded her the victory.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1230" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><p><strong>Štvanice once again proved why it’s called the most beautiful event of the year – fast finishes, wars to the final bell, and powerful stories.

The legendary Štvanice once again delivered an evening full of emotion, dramatic twists, and moments to be remembered for years. From the lightning-fast ending of the title fight to the evenly matched wars that only the judges could decide. 

OKTAGON 74 THROUGH THE EYES OF THE JUDGES: ONLY THREE FIGHTS WENT TO THE SCORECARDS!

<p>Štvanice delivered! The most beautiful event of the year brought action-packed fights under the open sky. Lucia Szabová became the new bantamweight champion, and Dominik Humburger upset favorite Hulme to advance to the Tipsport Gamechanger semifinals.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a67f430b-5025-45e5-ab0b-768a69792dc8/cs.1754850660982.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/ff3e6797-fe2d-4632-80cc-3f7cc7b0ee46/cs.1754850639256.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>CECILIE BOLANDER vs. LUCIA SZABOVÁ</h2><p>The highly anticipated title bout between the undefeated Szabová and champion Bolander ended quickly. Early in the first round, Szabová took Bolander to the ground, but during the fall, Bolander dislocated her knee. It popped back in, but she couldn’t put weight on it. After a barrage of heavy ground-and-pound, the referee stepped in, and the “Silent Killer” became the new queen of the bantamweight division.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1203"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KERIM ENGIZEK vs. MICK STANTON</h2><p>Engizek showed why he’s been an undefeated champion for 11 years. He shut Stanton down completely, defended his takedown attempt, and moved into a dominant position. From there, he unleashed a barrage of strikes, opening Stanton up badly. A few more shots later, the fight was stopped—Engizek wins by TKO and moves into the Tipsport Gamechanger semifinals.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1180"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DOMINIK HUMBURGER vs. MARK HULME</h2><p>Coming in as a big underdog, Humburger proved once again he can’t be underestimated. He and Hulme delivered a war. In round one, Hulme controlled on the ground, hunting for submissions, but Humburger defended well and stood up. In round two, both fighters were fatigued, but the Czech soldier kept pressing forward and dropped Hulme with a brutal elbow. Humburger shocked the experts and moves on to the semifinals of the European MMA Champions League.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1204"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KRZYSZTOF JOTKO vs. MAREK MAZÚCH</h2><p>Jotko proved why he’s so dangerous. After neutralizing Ion Surdu in his last fight, he put on another clinic against Slovak powerhouse Mazúch. Perfectly timed takedowns, smart stand-up, and heavy shots on the ground left Mazúch with no answers. Jotko controlled every round and finished with a TKO late in the third. Will Khajevand find a way past the Polish veteran?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1225"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PIOTR WAWRZYNIAK vs. HOJAT KHAJEVAND</h2><p>Khajevand’s incredible run in the Tipsport Gamechanger continues! After two reserve bouts, he scored a huge quarterfinal win. In round one, he outstruck Wawrzyniak, while the Pole took over in round two and even got the fight to the ground. The third was razor-close, but Khajevand edged ahead. The German now meets Krzysztof Jotko in the semifinals.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1240"></oktfightcomponent><h2>RADEK ROUŠAL vs. ADRIAN HAMERSKI</h2><p>Roušal is right at home on Štvanice, once again delivering a unique walkout. But Hamerski started faster, using his kicks to trouble Roušal in round one. Late in the round, the Czech found some rhythm, and by round two, Hamerski slowed down. Roušal began landing combinations and crushed Hamerski with body shots, folding him in half before finishing on the ground. Two straight wins for Roušal—who should he fight in Brno?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1207"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DAVID ZAWADA vs. KAMIL ONISZCZUK</h2><p>This reserve Gamechanger bout saw the young Pole use his height to fend off Zawada’s takedowns, wearing the veteran down. As the fight progressed, Zawada faded, and the judges awarded Oniszczuk the win. He now stands as the alternate for the semifinals.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1218"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL LIGOCKI vs. ANDRE LANGEN</h2><p>Ligocki is a phenomenon—third short-notice fight, third first-round finish. Langen barely touched him before being pinned to the fence and eating two brutal knees to the head, dropping him for the finish. When will we see Ligocki back in action? Hopefully soon.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1242"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VOJTĚCH KHOL vs. RAPHAEL FEDERICO</h2><p>“The Mountain Wind” Khol had a fantastic OKTAGON debut. Round one was slightly in Federico’s favor, but Khol threatened with takedowns. In round two, Khol took control and early in round three locked up a guillotine that forced the tap. Now 3-0 as a pro, Khol called out Radek Roušal—will we see it happen?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1241"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MICHAELA HLAVÁČIKOVÁ vs. NIAMH KINEHAN</h2><p>Two fearless strikers made their pro MMA debut with an exciting opener. Hlaváčiková even got the early takedown, but most of the fight stayed standing with wild exchanges. The close contest went to the judges, who gave it to Kinehan. Still, Hlaváčiková showed promise—hopefully we’ll see her again soon in the yellow-and-black cage.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1230"></oktfightcomponent><p><strong>Štvanice once again delivered an unforgettable night of battles, drama, and emotion. Next stop—Hannover. Max Holzer vs. UFC veteran Khalid Taha, plus more top fights on September 13th at Zag Arena. Will you be there?</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="114"></okteventcomponent>

Štvanice delivered! The most beautiful event of the year brought action-packed fights under the open sky.

OKTAGON 74 RESULTS: SZABOVÁ CROWNED NEW QUEEN, HUMBURGER MARCHES ON IN TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER

<p>After two years, Prague’s Štvanice will come alive again with a gala MMA event. OKTAGON 74 will be the seventh tournament held at this legendary venue, and it’s going to be a spectacular return. We have the title fight between Bolander vs. Szabová, the quarterfinals of the Tipsport Gamechanger, and many other amazing matchups. Go through the fight-by-fight preview and get ready for the most exciting tournament of the year.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/f624ebfa-1060-44d8-8d60-a21fa506258d/cs.1754661395609.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/0de5db8f-6680-4998-9309-32372547287c/cs.1754661400673.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>CECILIE BOLANDER vs. LUCIA SZABOVÁ</h2><p>A battle of the champion and the undefeated challenger. The highly anticipated title bout between Bolander and Szabová will showcase the best of women’s MMA. Bolander is entering her sixth professional fight, but it will be her third title bout. She is confidently entering her first title defense. However, Szabová has never lost in MMA. Her 9-0 record speaks volumes, and she’ll be aiming to capitalize on her first title opportunity. Will Bolander remain on top, or will we see the crowning of a new bantamweight queen?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1203"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KERIM ENGIZEK vs. MICK STANTON</h2><p>Kerim Engizek is a phenomenon that doesn’t need much introduction. The undefeated OKTAGON champion for almost 11 years plans to add another valuable scalp to his resume. While Polish fighter Oniszczuk caused him trouble in the first round, Engizek will be aiming to prove that he rightfully deserves to be the king of the middleweight division. Opposing him will be the representative of the old English school, former Cage Warriors champion Mick Stanton. In the round of 16, Stanton decisively eliminated fan-favorite Petrášek, and now he has his eyes set on another favorite. Will he back up his strong words in the cage?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1180"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DOMINIK HUMBURGER vs. MARK HULME</h2><p>The last Czech hope in the Tipsport Gamechanger million-dollar pyramid. The home Viking and professional soldier Dominik Humburger impressed fans with a brutal performance against Krištofič at OKTAGON 70 in Karlovy Vary. Now, he faces the biggest challenge of his career against the precise South African Mark Hulme. Hulme eliminated first-season Tipsport Gamechanger finalist Michailidis in the first round and has quickly become one of the main favorites for the overall victory in this year’s pyramid. But Humburger is an extremely tough nut to crack and has already surprised once – will he do it again at Štvanice?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1204"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KRZYSZTOF JOTKO vs. MAREK MAZÚCH</h2><p>A man whose experience on the world stage is unmatched in OKTAGON. Krzysztof Jotko has 17 UFC bouts under his belt and hasn’t fought anyone outside of the top 100 world rankings since 2014. In Karlovy Vary, he defeated champion Ion Surdu and made it clear that he came to win. Instead of Vlasta Čepo, he’ll face his feared Slovakian teammate Marek Mazúch, who has a reputation for the hardest punches in OKTAGON. Mazúch entered the pyramid as a “Lucky Loser,” but that doesn’t change the threat he poses to any opponent. Will he catch Jotko with one of his famous punches? Or will we see a surgical performance from the Polish veteran?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1225"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PIOTR WAWRZYNIAK vs. HOJAT KHAJEVAND</h2><p>The final quarterfinal of the European MMA Champions League offers an incredibly interesting clash of styles. After Matěj Peňáz had to withdraw due to infection, the new opponent for the Polish tough guy Piotr Wawrzyniak is the dangerous Hojat Khajevand. Wawrzyniak is no stranger to OKTAGON – he has fought for the title twice, became the interim middleweight champion, and is the only one to finish Vlasta Čepo by KO/TKO. Hojat has had five fights in OKTAGON, winning four of them, all by finishes before the limit. While Wawrzyniak relies on a tough stand-up and clinch game, Hojat is a grappling specialist but has won his last two fights by TKO. Who will become the last semifinalist of the Tipsport Gamechanger?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1240"></oktfightcomponent><h2>RADEK ROUŠAL vs. ADRIAN HAMERSKI</h2><p>Brno’s bad boy Radek Roušal cannot be missed at Štvanice, and his special entrance – what will he have prepared this time? In Karlovy Vary, he adopted Kutyła’s nickname and entered dressed as a butcher. Now he faces his gym teammate Adrian Hamerski, who comes to OKTAGON with one goal in mind – to avenge his friend Kutyła. There is real heat between the two fighters. With both being strikers, we expect brutal exchanges and a finish before the limit.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1207"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DAVID ZAWADA vs. KAMIL ONISZCZUK</h2><p>An extremely interesting reserve fight in the Tipsport Gamechanger – German veteran and fan-favorite David Zawada against the gutsy Polish fighter Kamil Oniszczuk. On one side, there is experience and calm, on the other, there’s aggression and power. Oniszczuk was close to a miracle and the biggest surprise of this season, narrowly losing to the star Engizek on points. Zawada, on the other hand, suffered a brutal loss by TKO from Czech sniper Matěj Peňáz and will be looking to redeem himself at Štvanice.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1218"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL LIGOCKI vs. ANDRE LANGEN</h2><p>There’s no one as dangerous on short notice as Třinec’s shooter Daniel Ligocki. Earlier this year, he earned two victories within 14 days at two consecutive tournaments – an incredible feat! Now, he’s taken a short-notice fight against German tough guy Andre “Angry” Langen, a newcomer to OKTAGON. A clash between two fighters who don’t leave decisions to the judges.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1242"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VOJTĚCH KHOL vs. RAPHAEL FEDERICO</h2><p>The fresh “Wind from the Mountains” has arrived in OKTAGON, as the young Czech talent Vojtěch Khol calls himself. A three-time Czech amateur champion and a protege of Patrik Kincl, Khol comes to OKTAGON with two wins under his belt and a wealth of amateur experience. He accepted this fight on short notice in place of the injured Jakub Tichota. His opponent will be Italian “Virtuoso” Raphael Federico. Another member of the new generation of fighters looking to make their mark at the top. This will be Federico’s second fight in the yellow-black cage – his first attempt didn’t go as planned, but he’s coming to Štvanice even hungrier for victory.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1241"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MICHAELA HLAVÁČIKOVÁ vs. NIAMH KINEHAN</h2><p>A double MMA debut for two experienced strikers. Michaela Hlaváčiková is known to fans from her Muay Thai fight against Lucia Szabová. The successful striker from Olomouc will now face one of the world’s most accomplished strikers, Niamh Kinehan. The British fighter boasts a 23-5-1 record, and now she wants to bring her skills into the MMA world. Whose debut will be victorious in the end?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1230"></oktfightcomponent>

After two years, Prague’s Štvanice will come alive again with a gala MMA event. OKTAGON 74 will be the seventh tournament held at this legendary venue, and it’s going to be a spectacular return.

In the title fight, Norway’s armbar queen <strong>Cecilie Bolander</strong> will face the undefeated Slovak star <strong>Lucia Szabová</strong>. While Bolander will be stepping into her sixth professional fight, she’s already fighting for the title for the <strong>third time in her career</strong>. She has <strong>eight victories by armbar</strong>, while Szabová has four – so we’re in for an exciting world-class display. And it’s not just talk – Szabová is currently ranked <strong>23rd in the bantamweight world rankings</strong>, while Bolander is ranked 71st. But here’s the catch: when she went for the OKTAGON title, Bolander wasn’t even ranked! This bantamweight queen battle is one you simply can’t miss.</p><h2>STEEL STRENGTH FROM POLAND</h2><p>Poland will have a strong presence at Štvanice – not just in numbers, but in quality. <strong>Piotr Wawrzyniak</strong> is the only fighter to have finished Vlasta Čepo by TKO, and he’s never been knocked out or submitted. From his last six fights, he’s fought for the title four times – and that speaks volumes. <strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong> will face Mazúch, and for the first time since 2014, his opponent is ranked outside the Top 100 in the world. Jotko himself is ranked #42 worldwide and has <strong>never lost in Europe</strong>. And watch out – he was supposed to face Macha Muradov in the UFC, but the fight fell through. Could we see that clash in the yellow-and-black cage? More Polish names will join in – Kamil Oniszczuk, who never gives up, and rookie Adrian Hamerski, who wants to avenge his teammate Kutyła and teach Radek Roušal a lesson.</p><h2>YEARS OF DOMINANCE</h2><p>Kerim Engizek has been undefeated for nearly 11 years. Yes, you read that right! Since September 2014, he has not found a challenger, and he holds the longest win streak in OKTAGON with <strong>15 straight victories</strong>. But he’s not alone – <strong>Mark Hulme</strong> hasn’t lost in over two years and is one of the biggest favorites to win the Tipsport Gamechanger tournament. <strong>Daniel Ligocki </strong>adds to the list with a perfect record since 2020, keeping a clean slate with four straight wins. And let’s not forget <strong>Lucia Szabová</strong>, who has never tasted defeat in professional MMA. She holds a <strong>9-0 record</strong> in OKTAGON. Will she maintain it in her first title fight?</p><h2>OUTSIDE THE CAGE</h2><p>Our fighters also have a lot to offer outside the cage. <strong>Cecilie Bolander</strong> appeared on the Norwegian reality show Vinnerschkalle, where she faced historic sports challenges. Aside from that, she loves traditional Norwegian costumes – and she shared more about them in our exclusive interview, which you can find on the website. <strong>Dominik Humburger</strong> is not only a warrior in the cage but a true hero outside it. He auctioned a special military knife to support war veterans, received an award from President Pavel, and now trains self-defense in the army. “Hambáč” is more than just a fighter – he’s an inspiration. And <strong>Radek Roušal</strong>? He’ll make you laugh. He took on the role of selling women’s underwear for his partner Nela Slováková – and how did it go? Check out the video on our YouTube and get ready for a good dose of fun!</p><p><strong>Want to be part of it?
