Frankfurt’s King vs. Bratislava’s Prince!

Hamburg - a city celebrated for its vibrant cultural scene. Now, for the first time ever, this iconic city is set to host an MMA spectacle unlike anything seen here before! On June 28th, OKTAGON MMA, known for selling out arenas across Europe, will bring the best MMA event to town, featuring the return of one of its biggest stars – Christian Eckerlin.

Germany’s biggest MMA star, Christian Eckerlin, steps back into the cage after an eight-month hiatus. His last fight saw him claim the title of King of Germany in front of 60,000 fans at the world’s biggest MMA event in Frankfurt, where he defeated Jungwirth in a battle for national supremacy.

But now, “Bratislava’s Prince” Pukač has answered the call! Riding a three-fight win streak and coming off a dramatic knockout victory over six-time OKTAGON champion David Kozma, Pukač is ready to dethrone Eckerlin and claim the crown. Will he succeed, or will Eckerlin reign supreme?

A title bout between Europe’s greatest flyweight fighters – the mighty champion Adamia will defend his belt against former world #8 Zhumagulov.

Two Brazilian strikers are about to come face to face in a heated samba dance that could go down as one of the greatest fights in OKTAGON history. Former welterweight champion and cage phenomenon Brito, who’s scored all 17 of his wins before the limit, will go up against world legend Lutterbach, a champion of 5 MMA organizations and 3 stand-up fighting organizations, who boasts 24 first-round finishes on his record.

Making his comeback to the organization after a four-year hiatus, the man who put on one of the most legendary fights in OKTAGON history, Barborík! But his return to the cage won’t be easy, as he’ll be facing off against Irish killer Smullen, who’s scored 4 wins in the Bellator organization and has competed in the prestigious ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ reality show.

A clash between two titans with UFC experience under their belts. Stolze, who has collected the scalps of Kalašnik and Kohout, will go head-to-head with Jessin Ayari, who’s already gone up against Darren Till.

Thanks to his incredible life story, Wahed Nazhand has become a hero to his Afghan compatriots, and now he’s preparing to claim his third professional victory. With over half a million followers on Instagram, he is undoubtedly one of OKTAGON MMA’s most popular fighters!

More warriors and unmissable fights will soon be announced.
