KERIM ENGIZEK vs. DOMINIK HUMBURGER

The main event delivered a breathtaking war from the very first second. Humburger surprised the champion with relentless pace and power, looking more active in the opening round.

After three rounds, all three judges were unanimous – Kerim Engizek wins by decision and advances to the Tipsport Gamechanger final. Both men received huge applause and respect from fans for the incredible fight they put on.

KRZYSZTOF JOTKO vs. HOJAT KHAJEVAND

After three rounds, the judges awarded a unanimous decision victory to Krzysztof Jotko, who will now face Engizek in the million-euro final.

VLASTO ČEPO vs. DANIEL SCHWINDT

El Chapo is back in spectacular fashion. The Slovak fan favorite came out aggressively, punishing Schwindt with heavy combinations from the start. The German managed to survive only until the end of the first round – after a clean right hook, he hit the canvas, and the referee stopped the fight. Čepo wins by first-round KO.

IVAN BUCHINGER vs. RICHIE SMULLEN

Three rounds of technical MMA. Smullen surprised early by taking the Slovak legend down and showing good control, but from the second round onward, Buchinger’s experience and timing took over. In the third, the Irishman ran out of gas, and Buki finished him by submission.

SAMUEL KRIŠTOFIČ vs. JAIME CORDERO

A cruel moment for the home hero. In the opening round, Krištofič injured his elbow while defending a takedown and could not continue. The bout was stopped by the ringside doctor. Jaime Cordero wins via technical decision (doctor stoppage).

MARCO NOVÁK vs. DANIJEL SOLAJA

A fast-paced brawl from the opening bell. Solaja started stronger and held the advantage for two rounds, but in the third, Novák unleashed a perfect rear hand that dropped his opponent to the mat and finished the fight with follow-up strikes. Marco Novák wins by TKO in Round 3.

TOMÁŠ CIGÁNIK vs. KONRAD DYRSCHKA

The German veteran played it safe. Dyrschka controlled the fight on the ground and neutralized the Slovak’s attacks. Cigánik rallied in the third round but couldn’t do enough to swing the scorecards. A close split-decision victory for Konrad Dyrschka.

VERONIKA SMOLKOVÁ vs. ANA ARAUJO

KAROL RYŠAVÝ vs. AYTON DE PAEPE

An exciting three-round shootout. Ryšavý started strong, but De Paepe slowed the pace in the second round with clinch control along the cage. The decisive third round went narrowly in favor of the Belgian. Split-decision victory for Ayton De Paepe.
