The grand finale of the European MMA Champions League, the Tipsport Gamechanger, in the middleweight division

One of the world’s best MMA shows is heading back to Düsseldorf! On January 17, OKTAGON will kick off the new season right here and host its first event of 2026 with the best possible matchup.

The new year starts with the peak of European MMA – the final of the European MMA Champions League for a prize of 1 million euros.

World #42 and OKTAGON middleweight champion Engizek, representing the Turkish flag, has reached the final after a breathtaking war with Humburger! The undefeated fighter of 10 years will clash with world #37, the legendary Pole Jotko, who holds 11 UFC wins. He fought his way to the final past Surdu, Mazúch and Khajevand, and has never been defeated in Europe. An absolute war between the best of the best!

Who will become Europe’s top middleweight and take home immortality and 300,000 euros?

The reserve fight of the Tipsport Gamechanger will, of course, also be featured — a KO brawl between Czechia and Germany. One of the toughest warriors in the organization, Humburger, will take on Zawada.

The unstoppable #6 lightweight with 7 wins in a row, Palokaj, faces one of OKTAGON’s most exciting prospects, Hendin, who holds 7 victories in Cage Warriors.

A heavyweight clash between two fighters who have taken all of their 9 wins inside the distance! Doussis, carrying the blood of Greek warriors, wants to stop the 8-fight, 4-year undefeated streak of Orlov.

More fights will be announced soon.

Europe’s and the world’s biggest MMA fighters, hungry talents, and the organization’s top stars in breathtaking battles that will give you goosebumps! All that along with a rich audiovisual show that will fire up the fans and make sure they enjoy this night from start to finish.

Experience the legendary MMA event on January 17, 2026, live! Tickets are now on sale.

Entry to events held in Germany is allowed from 18 years of age.
