ECKERLIN VS. JUNGWIRTH

What happened at the stadium when Germany's two biggest stars walked out is hard to describe. As Jungwirth entered, the entire arena sang along, forming a massive choir with a world record crowd. Then it was time for the home king, who didn’t skimp on the show. The stellar performances continued after the grand entrance accompanied by a rap star—Eckerlin kept scoring, even on the scorecards. Round after round, he had the upper hand over Jungwirth, although the referee had to step in several times to remind him of the rules. The king of Stuttgart was losing more and more, succumbing to hard punches and ground pressure. When Jungwirth failed to surprise in the last round, the outcome was clear. Jungwirth fought with his heart, as always, but it wasn’t enough for the new OKTAGON belt. Welcome the king, Eckerlin!

KINCL VS. ENGIZEK

Kerim Engizek’s entrance naturally left no one in the stadium cold. Czech fans got to experience what it’s like when the crowd boos their beloved champion, Kincl, on a grand scale. Engizek’s fans kept pushing him forward, while they let no mistake from the Czech representative go unnoticed. The audience enjoyed all five long rounds. Both fighters were very cautious, but Engizek showed just a bit more courage. And it paid off—round by round, he read Kincl better and better. By the fourth round, there was a glimmer of hope for the champion, but it was just a flicker. The judges were clear from the start, only occasionally scoring a round as even. And so, to the delight of the crowd in the arena and the disbelief of Kincl’s fans, the longest-reigning current champion was dethroned. A historic moment at a historic tournament.

COGA VS. RAČIĆ

Max Coga's fight wasn’t for a title, but it was more than special for the audience—the home superstar’s arrival at OKTAGON was as stellar as expected. In the cage, both men set a brutal pace—and while Račić got in some action in the first round, he didn’t stand a chance in the second. The brutal KO that Coga delivered caused a frenzy in the crowd. The arena was on its feet, and the roar could be heard beyond the state borders. A dream for Coga and the 60,000 fans in the arena.

SAMSONIDSE VS. TORRES

Niko Samsonidse promised that after ten months of injury recovery, he would return stronger and better. And these weren’t empty promises. The German fighter was truly hungry for victory, and his hunger was felt throughout the massive stadium. During the second round, he lived up to his words by choking out Torres. "One Love" is back in the game!

TODEV VS. PAŁASZ

The heavyweights put on a show like only these giants can. The first round didn’t bring much drama, and the judges favored Pałasz. But in the second round, the tables turned. Todev took control and then destroyed his opponent with strikes, causing him to collapse gradually, until he fell completely. The KO is secured, and Todev will fight for the title once again.

HOLZER VS. TRABELSI

Max Holzer won over the crowd even before the fight started, earning the title of Fan Favorite by entering the cage on a scooter in his usual humorous style. The crowd decided to fight alongside him and cheered him on loudly from the first round. Holzer delivered total dominance—first with punches, then on the ground, crushing Trabelsi everywhere and steadily increasing the pace. It paid off not to let up. Just before the end of the fight, he managed to finish his opponent on the ground, securing a TKO win! A 9-0 record and a frenzied arena—this is a career whose stardom is reaching for the skies!

TIPSPORT PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT: DALISDA VS. MARTIN

Surprise of the evening? For the full stadium, definitely the shock of the year… Mallory Martin stepped into the cage as a completely different fighter than the one Dalisda faced the first time. From the very start, Martin overwhelmed the shocked champion, and tens of thousands of spectators held their breath more and more. The first three rounds went to Martin, which undoubtedly shook Dalisda’s confidence. This only made it easier for Martin, who took her time and meticulously dismantled the champion, leaving the stadium in shock. We wouldn’t want to be in John Newman’s shoes, who had to try and lift the frozen crowd’s spirits. And Martin? The best performance of the night, a huge success and the start of a new chapter. A proud coach Velicković stood in the corner. Wow!

MACHAEV VS. HENDIN

This was a fight every MMA fan had to appreciate. Both fighters put on a high-level performance, and we could only marvel at their exchanges, textbook wrestling, and technical prowess. As Karlos said, despite the chilly weather in the stadium, these two fighters broke a sweat in the demanding three rounds. The first round was close, but Machaev clearly dominated the following ones and took home a unanimous decision win.

LANGER VS. FLEURY

The bell rang, and the fairy tale was over. All the fans of the unique Langer had their hearts broken, as the tornado named Fleury was too much for him. After a minute and a half, the bold Irishman delivered a devastating KO, and Langer hit the canvas. It’s now clear that the light heavyweight division has a new shark in its waters. After his epic victory, Fleury called out Karlos Vémola, who has yet to respond decisively to the challenge.

NAFUKA VS. TOPALLAJ

Here, too, the audience showed that they were enjoying the night to the fullest, not hesitating to express both their support and their dissatisfaction loudly. Hafeni Nafuka dominated the fight, but it was through a rather static ground game, with few strikes thrown. Topallaj was devastated by his loss on points, but even Nafuka didn’t show much enthusiasm. His post-fight interview was met with loud boos… A bittersweet, yet valuable win for Nafuka.

ILBAY VS. DEIGA-SCHECK

The first fight of the evening warmed up the audience perfectly. Ilbay wasted no time, landing a KO on his Brazilian opponent just three minutes into the fight, getting the crowd on their feet. Congratulations, that’s what we call the “opener” of the year!
