Candles, roses, and a romantic dinner? Maybe somewhere. But when two combat sports enthusiasts meet on Valentine’s Day, it’s more about getting home earlier than usual rather than arriving late after training. Instead of heart-shaped cakes, they focus on weight cuts, and the sweetest words they exchange are often valuable grappling tips.<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>Let’s take a look at the most beloved fighting couples in OKTAGON:<h2>💘 SZABOVÁ &amp; ŠIMKULIČ 💘 ENDLESS SUPPORT</h2>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?<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFVv-fAN7qC/?hl=cs"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>💘 SMOLKOVÁ &amp; STANČÍK 💘 A DATE AT A TOURNAMENT</h2>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!<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFVC_RmNvuM/?hl=cs"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>💘 ČEPO &amp; KRAJČOVIČ 💘 CHAMPIONS OF THE LOVE DIVISION</h2>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? Unwavering support and understanding for the endless hours of training and sacrifices!<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C1aPIkZKlJ_/?hl=cs&amp;img_index=1"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>💘 CHOCHLÍKOVÁ &amp; TADLÁNEK 💘 LOVE FLOURISHES IN THE GYM!</h2>The perfect date? A sparring session together! Monika Chochlíková and her partner, trainer, and fighter Tomáš Tadlánek, fell in love years ago at the gym. Their love from the cage has lasted to this day, and they even joke that sometimes, it feels like they are in a never-ending fight camp! 👇<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu3xqgux7XP/?hl=cs"></oktinstagramcomponent>

VALENTINE’S DAY IN OKTAGON:  LOVE IS IN THE GYM! 

Only a few days separate us from the fourth tournament of the year. OKTAGON returns across the border to Germany's second-largest city, Hamburg. OKTAGON 85 offers a stacked card full of local heroes and debutants eager to prove themselves on Europe’s most prestigious stage. Check out the stats and facts and pick your favorites for OKTAGON Fantasy. The draft is already open.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/5a2fed5a-a681-446d-85b2-6c9b135c3cb9/cs.1772656302149.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a61beca9-a2ea-4f38-a243-d37dae6cdf9e/cs.1772656318839.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>A CHANCE TO SECURE THE 200TH SUBMISSION IN PROMOTION HISTORY</h2>OKTAGON is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. In Hamburg, however, fighters will have the chance to reach a different unique milestone. The next submission in the yellow-and-black cage will be exactly the 200th in the organization's history. Not just anyone can boast such a record. Who will claim it?There are several favorites:<ul><li>Matheus Severino, who already has five submission wins to his name.</li></ul><ul><li>Stephanie Egger, who relies on her high-level grappling; Veronika Smolková will certainly have her hands full.</li></ul><ul><li>Mohammed Walid, with five of his eight wins coming via submission. Now facing a striker, he will be even more motivated to utilize his ground skills.</li></ul><ul><li>Marek Bartl, who always finds a way to surprise. He is the only fighter in the promotion to secure a win via reverse triangle choke.</li></ul><h2>CLASH OF UNDEFEATED TALENTS</h2>The OKTAGON bantamweight division will witness a "clash of the new generation" as two undefeated talents face off. Homegrown star Raul Lemberanskij (8–0), the 23-year-old representative of Frankfurt's MMA Spirit with Azerbaijani roots, burst into professional MMA only three years ago and hasn't faltered since. At OKTAGON 76, he handled the experienced Jose Zarauz. He currently sits at #5 in the divisional rankings, and another victory would officially catapult him into the title conversation.However, standing in his way is a challenger one year his junior. 22-year-old Ali Gündüz (6–0) is a reigning champion of a German organization and proves his danger with a statistic of five finishes before the distance. For Lemberanskij, this is stylistically the biggest test of his career, while for Gündüz, the Barclays Arena debut is the ideal opportunity to immediately shake up the top of the bantamweight rankings.<h2>OKTAGON ADDS ANOTHER BROTHER DUO TO THE ROSTER</h2>Igor Severino heads to Hamburg alongside his older brother, Matheus Severino. Historically, they are the fourth pair of brothers to appear in OKTAGON. However, Matheus and Igor are poised to become the most successful tandem yet. While Igor fights for the bantamweight title in Hamburg, Matheus faces the tough Shawn Marcos Da Silva, who enters OKTAGON with a 7–1 record and the highest ambitions. Matheus, however, holds titles from three different Brazilian organizations, and with an overall professional record of 14–5, he wants to make it clear that a new predator is entering the flyweight division. Can he succeed in his debut and begin his march toward a title?<h2>A TOURNAMENT OF NEW FACES AND SEASONED VETERANS</h2>OKTAGON continues to grow, attracting more and more new fighters eager to make a name for themselves. OKTAGON 85 in Hamburg will feature eight new fighters. However, these are no beginners; they are often experienced warriors looking to shine in the spotlight of Europe's most prestigious MMA stage.New Faces:Khurshed Kakhorov – PFL European pyramid champion with a phenomenal 13–1 record.<ul><li>Ali Gündüz – Champion of a German organization with an undefeated 6–0 record.</li></ul><ul><li>Tyrone Pfeifer – Champion of a German organization with a 6–1 record.</li></ul><ul><li>Abdullah Sultani – A fierce German fighter on a three-fight win streak who has previously faced the likes of Joel Batoba.</li></ul><ul><li>Stephanie Egger – UFC veteran, former world #11, with experience in major global organizations and a pro record of 8–5.</li></ul><ul><li>Matheus Severino – Igor’s older brother, champion of three different Brazilian organizations, LFA title challenger, and currently ranked #129 in the world flyweight rankings.</li></ul><ul><li>Shawn Marcos Da Silva – Cage Warriors veteran who has defeated opponents like Mohammed Walid; pro record 7–1.</li></ul><ul><li>Sebastian Horvath – A young Slovak fighter making his professional debut.</li></ul>The tournament also features several organizational mainstays. Marek Bartl has been with OKTAGON since the very first OKTAGON Výzva (reality show). He has competed in 16 fights within the yellow-and-black cage and is one of the biggest fixtures of the local scene.Christian Eckerlin made his professional debut 17 years ago. Since then, he has amassed 25 fights, nine of which took place in OKTAGON. Notably, he has featured in the main or co-main event seven times, proving what a true icon of German MMA Eckerlin is.That is the overview of interesting facts ahead of OKTAGON 85. The OKTAGON Fantasy draft is already live, so go ahead and pick your favorites for this tournament. Hamburg has an unmistakable atmosphere, and the packed Barclays Arena is set to shake to its foundations once again. If you want to be there, this is your last chance. Only a few tickets remain.

RAUL LEMBERANSKIJ: „MY OPPONENT LIKES TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT ON SATURDAY YOU’LL SEE HIM BACKING UP“

Hamburg’s Barclays Arena will witness a clash that could redraw the map of the women’s flyweight division. Veronika Smolková, one of the most prominent faces of the new generation of Slovak MMA, faces the challenge of a lifetime. Standing in her way is the battle-hardened Swiss machine, Stephanie Egger. Will the Slovak fighter confirm her impressive run, or will she hit the harsh reality of the world’s elite?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/84a4c3dd-f77d-4abf-b282-0848f56acbe1/cs.1772538216023.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e8d50c8d-cf29-4252-aa5d-ed96141e6904/cs.1772538220076.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>"SWEETHEART" IN THE BIGGEST TEST OF HER CAREER </h2>Veronika Smolková is experiencing the kind of period every fighter dreams of. She is currently riding an excellent five-fight winning streak, with three victories claimed in the past year alone. Most recently, she delivered a dominant performance in the electrifying atmosphere of a sold-out O2 Arena, proving that the pressure of major tournaments only gives her strength.However, Smolková is not just a dangerous fighter. She is a phenomenon who entertains fans outside the cage as well. She gains popularity through her honesty and unique personality—unafraid to show the grind in the gym, luxury fashion pieces, or even moments of weakness. This authenticity makes her a crowd favorite, but do not be fooled by the smiles. In preparation for Hamburg, she has left nothing to chance, sharpening her form alongside the "Silent Killer," Lucia Szabová. Veronika senses an opportunity and knows that a victory over such an experienced fighter would skyrocket her in the world rankings and bring immense prestige.<h2>STEPHANIE EGGER: A WORLD-CLASS CHALLENGE </h2>If anyone can test the qualities of the Slovak prospect, it is Stephanie Egger. The Swiss veteran, who has passed through global organizations including the UFC, comes to OKTAGON with a single goal—to show she belongs at the European top. Egger is a well-rounded fighter who draws on years of experience at the highest level and gives nothing away for free in the cage. She is as precise as a Swiss watch and leaves nothing to chance. Seven of her eight victories have ended before the distance, and she intends to do the same in Hamburg.For Smolková, this is the toughest test of her career so far. While Veronika wants to confirm her position as the division's number one, Egger arrives as an experienced predator planning to abruptly end the Slovak’s momentum.<h2>THE SITUATION AT THE TOP OF THE DIVISION </h2>The situation in the women’s 56.7 kg division is beginning to thicken. Lucia Szabová will fight for the flyweight title at the OKTAGON 87 tournament in Liberec. Given that they often train together, both Slovak fighters have ruled out facing each other in the past. Smolková wants to use another win to solidify her position in the division and improve her spot in the world rankings. Previously, she also expressed interest in a duel with the princess of German MMA, Alina Dalaslan, which would surely be a very attractive battle between two young hopes of women’s MMA. First, however, she must succeed in Hamburg, and that is exactly what the experienced Egger will want to prevent.OKTAGON 85 in Hamburg is knocking on the door! On March 7th, we will see if the young Slovak blood can overcome experience. In addition to the Smolková vs. Egger battle, you can look forward to the crowning of the bantamweight king and the returns of the biggest stars. It will be an evening everyone talks about!

SMOLKOVÁ FACES A TRIAL BY FIRE IN HAMBURG. SHE WILL GO UP AGAINST A WORLD-CLASS VETERAN 

Christian Eckerlin faces a career-defining fight in Hamburg. In the co-main event of OKTAGON 85, he will clash with Czech challenger Matouš Kohout. Eckerlin needs to return to the winning track and remind fans why he is a legend of German MMA. For Matouš Kohout, on the other hand, this is the chance for the biggest scalp of his career. The "King of Germany" vs. the "King of Underground." Who will conquer the Barclays Arena?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/32041246-c0e9-436d-9084-df6a970aef9b/cs.1772203169101.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/1b6cab88-edc8-4814-b503-62edce24a57b/cs.1772203173010.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>CHRISTIAN ECKERLIN FACES A PIVOTAL MOMENT</h2>An icon of the German MMA scene and one of the most popular local fighters, Christian Eckerlin is standing on the edge. With two tough consecutive losses, some fans are beginning to doubt if the "King of Germany" can return to his former glory. This only makes Eckerlin more motivated. At the Barclays Arena in Hamburg, he intends to silence all doubters and snap his losing streak.Hamburg, however, doesn't hold the fondest memories for him lately. Last year, he lost here to Rob Pukač in the "King vs. Prince" battle. That was followed by a bitter defeat in Cologne, and now Eckerlin faces a must-win situation. A third consecutive loss would signal that his era might be coming to an end. But he isn't even considering that. He heads to Hamburg with one goal—a dominant victory.Eckerlin has been active in professional MMA for an incredible 17 years. Interestingly, he was previously a professional footballer. Since his debut in 2009, he has amassed 25 fights with a record of 17–8. Fourteen of his wins came before the distance—seven via KO/TKO and eight via submission. In OKTAGON, he has appeared in nine bouts, five of which were main events and two co-main events—the highest number of high-profile slots for any international fighter in the organization. Eckerlin is a true legend of German MMA, and the numbers prove it. Now is the time to defend his legacy against another hungry opponent.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DToDCHODCUf/?utm_source=ig_embed"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>MATOUŠ KOHOUT: MORE THAN JUST A STRIKER</h2>Fans often categorize Matouš Kohout purely as a striker, but his recent performances have shown he is much more. The "Mighty Rooster" has evolved into a truly well-rounded MMA fighter. The former Muay Thai European Champion took a gradual path of transformation. He first entered the OKTAGON Underground project, where he dominated the entire pyramid to become the champion. He then transitioned to professional MMA. With every fight, he improved, moving from simply defending takedowns to mastering wrestling and grappling. Today, we view Matouš as a complete mixed martial artist.In his last outing, he managed to handle the dangerous ground specialist Hafeni Nafuka, giving him zero room to work. Kohout has tested his skills against the elite of both the lightweight and welterweight divisions, facing names like Robo Pukač, Mateusz Legierski, Karol Ryšavý, and Jan Malach. He gradually moved from lightweight to welterweight, where he competed in his last four bouts. Notably, all four took place on German soil against local favorites. He faces a similar situation against Eckerlin, but the "King of Germany" enjoys a level of support unlike any other. It’s no coincidence people compare him to the Czech legend Karlos Vémola. Every Eckerlin walkout makes the entire arena shake, creating an unbelievable atmosphere and immense pressure. Facing him is extremely difficult for any fighter, and Hamburg will reveal if Kohout is ready for this challenge.The direction of Eckerlin’s career will be decided next Saturday. Only a few seats remain at the Barclays Arena, so seize the opportunity and secure your spot today. Besides the "King of Germany's" massive fight, you will witness the bantamweight title duel and a host of local heroes.

ECKERLIN ON THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION: AIMING FOR A COMEBACK IN HAMBURG

The Enea Arena in Szczecin is gearing up for a historic premiere. OKTAGON is expanding onto Polish soil for the first time, bringing out the big guns for its debut. One of the greatest icons of Polish MMA, Tomasz Narkun, is entering the yellow-and-black cage. However, his welcome to the new organization will be no friendly affair—standing in his way is the German Viking, Alexander Poppeck. Who will dominate this light heavyweight battle of titans?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/28cbfbd9-4760-445d-b12a-7b9556f9004f/cs.1772035031686.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/8d71f5cb-5de1-4a38-9a6c-815ddde97837/cs.1772035059353.png" croppedcorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TOMASZ NARKUN: "THE GIRAFFE" IS HUNGRY FOR MORE GOLD</h2>Tomasz Narkun (21–6) isn't just another name in European MMA. He is a phenomenon. The long-time king of the Polish light heavyweight division, he has terrorized the weight class since 2009! Having held titles in three different Polish organizations, fans will never forget his two victories over the legendary Mamed Khalidov or his bold venture into the heavyweight division to face Phil De Fries.Narkun, nicknamed "Żyrafa" (The Giraffe), is unpredictable in the cage, possessing a unique style and a personality that leaves no one indifferent. Furthermore, he enters OKTAGON in incredible form—his last three fights combined lasted only 136 seconds! He has literally steamrolled his opponents and now arrives to show that his mission has only one goal: the belt of Europe's most prestigious organization.<h2>ALEXANDER POPPECK: THE GERMAN "IRONSIDE" IN THE FORM OF HIS LIFE</h2>Facing the Polish hero is a man who has looked absolutely invincible over the past year. Alexander Poppeck (20–5) is the current German #1 in the light heavyweight division, and his nickname "Ironside" fits him perfectly. This German giant possesses "grenades" in his hands, which ruthlessly shut the lights out for names like Jeremy Kimball and Pavol Langer in the very first round.Poppeck is riding a four-fight winning streak and heads to Szczecin with a clear plan: spoil the home favorite's debut and silence the entire arena. With his stone-cold expression and heavy hammers, Poppeck is the toughest possible test for Narkun. If the German prevails on Polish soil, he will become the clear frontrunner for a title shot.<h2>A STAR-STUDDED NIGHT IN SZCZECIN</h2>OKTAGON 86 promises a stacked card full of local stars and big OKTAGON names. In addition to Narkun vs. Poppeck, fans can look forward to:<ul><li>Mateusz Legierski vs. Gökhan Aksu – In the main event, the homegrown Legierski defends his lightweight title against the Turkish invader.</li></ul><ul><li>Michał Materla vs. Christian Jungwirth – A clash of two indestructible warriors in the exciting OKTAGON Underground: STAND &amp; BANG format.</li></ul><ul><li>Piotr Wawrzyniak vs. Mateusz Janur – A fierce all-Polish derby in the middleweight division.</li></ul>This historic tournament at the Enea Arena kicks off on Saturday, April 11th.

ANOTHER POLISH LEGEND IN OKTAGON! TOMASZ NARKUN HEADS TO SZCZECIN

The Barclays Arena in Hamburg is set to witness the crowning of a new king. The bantamweight division has been without a ruler for two years, but that is about to change. In a high-stakes title battle, Brazilian talent Igor Severino will clash with German finishing machine Khurshed Kakhorov, who makes his highly anticipated OKTAGON debut. What are the stories behind these two warriors, and what can you expect from this duel?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/87d61c5c-ae48-4427-9e23-3f0b8c5dd9dc/cs.1771930220195.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/13cffad2-9cf5-4b12-aede-9d3810ca1282/cs.1771930225624.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>IGOR SEVERINO: THE BRAZILIAN "HANNIBAL" ON A MISSION</h2>At just 22 years old, Igor Severino has already proven he belongs among the world's elite. Currently ranked #79 in the world bantamweight rankings, he boasts a 9–1 record. Eight of those victories came via stoppage—four by KO/TKO and four by submission. His only professional defeat came via disqualification during his UFC debut. Ever since that moment, he has been on a relentless quest for redemption.Severino is a unique fighter who stops at nothing on his way to the top. In his OKTAGON debut, he shocked fans and experts alike by completely neutralizing the "Danish Shark" Jonas Magard, defeating him in a dominant three-round decision. At just 21 years old, he made it clear to the entire division exactly who they were dealing with. Dangerous, fast, and lethal—Severino is the prototype of a well-rounded fighter, elite both on the ground and on the feet, always hunting for the finish.Now, he returns to the cage after a two-year hiatus, during which five scheduled bouts were cancelled, only to finally land this title shot in Hamburg. This time, he has extra motivation—his brother, Matheus Severino, will compete on the same card. However, his opponent is no pushover, and Severino is likely facing the toughest test of his career. To make matters more intense, he will be fighting on his opponent's home soil with the entire arena against him.<h2>MEET THE CHALLENGER: KHURSHED KAKHOROV</h2>German fighter with Tajik roots, Khurshed Kakhorov, arrives in OKTAGON with the reputation of an uncompromising finisher. Out of his 13 career wins, an incredible 9 have come via KO/TKO. He is the first-ever PFL tournament champion to compete in OKTAGON and a former champion of the Polish organization EFM. At one point, he reached an impressive world ranking of #53. Now, he comes to claim the title of Europe's most prestigious organization to complete his collection.Kakhorov is 11 years older than his Brazilian counterpart, bringing significantly more experience and riding a five-fight winning streak. In the cage, he lives up to his "Killer" nickname, turning out his opponents' lights with ease. Flying knees, elbows, hooks—Kakhorov is a threat from any position. His only career defeat came in the closing moments of the third round against Brett Johns in Bellator four years ago.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DTfmuefjMuA/?utm_source=ig_embed"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>A TWICE-POSTPONED SHOWDOWN WILL FINALLY HAVE A WINNER</h2>This world-class match-up has been scheduled twice before, only to fall through.

Durić secured a fantastic TKO victory.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1323"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB BATFALSKÝ vs. EUGEN BLACK-DELL</h2>A beautiful stand-up battle that went all the way to the judges’ scorecards. The first hometown fighter to celebrate a win was young Jakub Batfalský. Fans enjoyed an entertaining striking duel in which both men took heavy shots. “Batfal” used his height advantage brilliantly, with his stiff jab causing major problems for his opponent. Although he ran into trouble in the third round and absorbed sharp elbows from Black-Dell, he weathered the storm and secured a decision win, once again confirming his status as one of the brightest talents on the domestic scene.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1312"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MATĚJ KUZNÍK vs. HAFENI NAFUKA</h2>Kuzník vs. Nafuka delivered an intriguing clash of two grapplers.

In the first half of the fight, the Slovak brawler had the upper hand and came close to finishing the bout. Široký, however, showed incredible toughness and survived the worst moments. Toward the end of the fight, he even began to take control himself, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win. Both fighters earned huge respect for an entertaining war that had fans on their feet.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1341"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VÁCLAV KLIMŠA vs. BRAJAN PRZYSIWEK</h2>The Ostrava crowd was in for an unpleasant surprise.

This win sent a message to the entire division – Endrit Brajshori is hungry for big scalps.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1339"></oktfightcomponent><h2>LUKÁŠ ZÁVIČÁK vs. DANIEL SCHORDJE</h2>A tense battle between the experienced Závičák and Austrian prospect Schordje.

OKTAGON 84 RESULTS: KAIK BRITO IS CHAMPION AGAIN. KOZMA RETURNS WITH A WIN

He’s only 21 years old, yet already one of the biggest talents on the German scene, and in OKTAGON he has delivered performances that prove he fears no one. Now he faces his biggest test yet – a road fight in the toughest city in the country.

I feel great. Everything is done – now we’re just fine-tuning the details, keeping the pace, and most importantly staying healthy. At this stage, focus and a clear mind are key. I’m excited because Ostrava is a huge challenge.You’re fighting away from home against a local hero who will have the crowd behind him. How do you deal with that atmosphere mentally? I’m really looking forward to it. The atmosphere isn’t anything negative for me – on the contrary, it motivates me. It’s clear I’ll be fighting in his city and most of the fans will be against me. But that’s exactly the energy I want to use. I want to silence the arena and turn his fans into mine.Tomáš Mudroch is known for lightning-fast first-round finishes. What makes him such a dangerous opponent? He’s very heavy – for me, almost like a welterweight. That can be an advantage, but also a disadvantage, because a big weight cut costs strength. In the first round, he comes forward very aggressively and wants to finish quickly. That’s exactly what we prepared for. I expect we’ll meet in the middle of the cage.Does that change your game plan at all? No, it doesn’t. You have to stay focused against any opponent. I don’t see him as just a striker. I’m prepared for everything, and whatever comes, I’ll use it against him.So how are you preparing for his strengths? I focus on what he does best. My job is to turn his weapons against him and run him over. I don’t want to adapt to what he wants – I want to impose my own game.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DR7TIHBDCEa/"></oktinstagramcomponent>Where do you see your biggest advantages? In my conditioning, speed, striking, and grappling. Overall, I see myself with the edge. Size and weight alone won’t help him.Your style is very controlled and often moves the fight to the ground. How important is it to impose your own rhythm? I don’t want to rush anything. I can fight on the feet and I can fight on the ground. If an opportunity presents itself, I’ll take it. I’ll stay calm and focused – and I will impose my rhythm on him.And if the fight goes to the ground? Then we go to the ground. That’s where I clearly feel stronger.You’re only 21 and already competing regularly on big stages. What has changed mentally? I used to lack confidence, I was shy and avoided confrontation. Today, after four years of MMA, I feel mentally stronger than ever. This sport changed me. It made me a stronger person.What message do you want to send to young people who follow you? That you can achieve anything even at a young age. Age is just a number. In the end, everything is decided in the mind.A win would move you up the lightweight rankings. Does that matter to you? Right now, I’m focused only on this fight. Of course I want to be champion and beat every opponent, ideally before the limit. But at this moment, only Ostrava matters.OKTAGON is promoting this fight as one of the highlights of the night. What does that position mean to you? It’s an honor.

INTERVIEW WITH FEDOR DURIĆ AHEAD OF OKTAGON 84: I WANT TO SILENCE OSTRAVA AND WIN OVER ITS FANS

Only 24 hours remain until OKTAGON returns to Ostrava. The toughest city in the Czech Republic is ready for a massive adrenaline rush, and the last empty seats in the Ostravar Arena are being filled. This Valentine’s night is one fans won’t forget anytime soon. Go through the full card, fight by fight, and make sure you don’t miss a thing.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6126d872-8eb0-4898-9d6b-d6f4d38cc4ad/cs.1771003102179.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/fdcc8378-3953-4465-9bd7-0afa3e6aa6e6/cs.1771003107226.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>RONALD PARADEISER vs. KAIK BRITO</h2>The main event of the night delivers a title fight for the vacant welterweight championship. Former lightweight king Ronald Paradeiser is chasing his second belt, but standing in his way is former divisional champion Kaik Brito. A clash of two fighters ranked in the global Top 100 promises world-class quality and very likely a finish.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1345"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DAVID KOZMA vs. JOZEF WITTNER</h2>In the co-main event, OKTAGON’s historically most dominant champion returns. David “The Pink Panther” Kozma is a five-time title defender and for many years the face of the welterweight division. After three brutal losses, he changed his gym, his approach to preparation, and his working style, and now comes to Ostrava determined to show fans “Kozma 2.0.” Across from him stands returning veteran Jozef Wittner, who steps back into the yellow-and-black cage after more than five years. For both men, this fight could significantly shape the next chapter of their careers.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1297"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TOMÁŠ MUDROCH vs. FEDOR DURIĆ</h2>A battle of the next generation sees two prospects with identical 8–1 records collide. The “Ostrava Express” Tomáš Mudroch has been the phenomenon of recent months – all of his wins have come in the first round, including three inside the first 30 seconds. Across three OKTAGON bouts, he has spent barely five minutes in the cage. Just 21 years old, Fedor Durić is a generational talent from Frankfurt’s MMA Spirit gym. Unlike Mudroch, he racks up submissions more often and shows remarkable composure for his age. The winner can stake a claim to a spot among the lightweight elite.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1323"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB BATFALSKÝ vs. EUGEN BLACK-DELL</h2>Young Ostrava prospect Jakub Batfalský will be looking to get back on the winning track after a challenging period. He’s one of the brightest talents of the new generation and has already shown he doesn’t shy away from the toughest challenges. Standing opposite him is experienced German Eugen Black-Dell, a former champion of two German organizations who has already tested several names in OKTAGON and punishes every mistake. A perfect test of resilience and mental toughness for the hometown hope.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1312"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MATĚJ KUZNÍK vs. HAFENI NAFUKA</h2>A great fight is expected between two fighters who have both experienced highs and lows in OKTAGON. Matěj Kuzník is a veteran of the domestic scene and has been tied to the organization since its very beginnings. Right now, however, he’s under pressure, and the bout in Ostrava could say a lot about the next direction of his career. Hafeni Nafuka, on the other hand, is known for never backing down from a challenge and has already troubled some of the most experienced opponents. For both, this is a crucial fight in a stacked division.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1336"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PRELIMS</h2><h2>JAN ŠIROKÝ vs. FRANTIŠEK FODOR</h2>Jan Široký once again proves he never turns down a challenge. He’s the kind of fighter who almost always delivers a war for the fans and never fights “for points.” In Ostrava, he faces František Fodor, whom longtime fans will remember from the very first OKTAGON Challenge. A clash of two seasoned veterans that promises a highly entertaining fight.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1341"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VÁCLAV KLIMŠA vs. BRAJAN PRZYSIWEK</h2>Václav Klimša, a professional firefighter and specialist in unconventional techniques, will fight in front of his home crowd in Ostrava. After a phenomenal debut in which he finished his opponent with the rare Von Flue choke, he captured fans’ attention. Against debuting Pole Brajan Przysiwek, he’ll also be backed by colleagues from the fire brigade, who are planning to show up in big numbers.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1382"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PETR BARTONĚK vs. ENDRIT BRAJSHORI</h2>Olomouc native Petr Bartoněk rides a four-fight winning streak, all finished inside the distance. He returns to OKTAGON after three years and plans to stay for the long haul this time. Endrit Brajshori is one of the division’s feared men – most recently he dispatched Malach in just 90 seconds, and he comes to Ostrava with the same goal in mind.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1339"></oktfightcomponent><h2>LUKÁŠ ZÁVIČÁK vs. DANIEL SCHORDJE</h2>The long-awaited OKTAGON debut of Lukáš Závičák is finally here. The fighter and coach from Frýdek-Místek wants to test himself against Europe’s elite after a great win over Toporcer. Standing in his way is Austrian prospect Daniel Schordje. The brawler known as “Bad Moon” arrives in OKTAGON as a champion of an Austrian organization with seven wins inside the distance. Can Závičák handle the surging Austrian?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1387"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ADAM HAVRAN vs. OSKAR STASZCZAK</h2>On the free prelims, hometown fighter Adam Havran takes on Poland’s Oskar Staszczak. For both men, it’s a chance to make an early statement, kick off the night in style, and secure a valuable win in front of a packed arena.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1372"></oktfightcomponent>OKTAGON 84 in Ostrava offers a world-class title fight, the return of a legend, clashes of generations, and battles of hometown heroes.
