6 YEARS UNDEFEATED OR A CAREER WITHOUT A THIRD ROUND: THE BEST FACTS ABOUT OKTAGON 64!

<p>If you are a fan of combat sports, the name Dulatov is surely not unfamiliar to you. The talented brothers Tamerlan, Islam, Djibril, and Sulumbek have a story that could easily be the plot of a movie. And soon, we will see Tamerlan in action, right in his hometown of Düsseldorf.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/26547bc9-4781-4450-8a32-d63afe59cefe/cs.1737473294942.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/69c52490-3909-49f2-80c5-d127cd31634f/cs.1737473300337.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>ARRIVAL IN GERMANY</h2><p>More than 15 years ago, the Dulatov family was forced to flee from Chechnya and found refuge in Düsseldorf. However, the beginnings were far from easy. They had to overcome prejudice and the challenges of life in a new country. Thanks to their strong family bond, they managed to overcome all obstacles and gradually earned recognition – and an outstanding career.</p><h2>A STELLAR CAREER IN THE WORLD OF FASHION</h2><p>Düsseldorf turned out to be the perfect place for the four charismatic brothers. The first to break into modeling was Djibril. His discovery was completely accidental – a casting agency worker approached him while he was shopping in a mall. What started as a funny incident quickly turned into a career: Djibril shot his first campaign for the world-renowned brand Lanvin.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/B81rAtGISPV/"></oktinstagramcomponent><p>Soon, his brothers followed suit. Prestigious offers from brands like Armani, Gucci, and Diesel kept pouring in. Islam even became the main face of Versace, which is considered the pinnacle of success in the fashion industry. But not everything is rosy – modeling is still often condemned in their homeland as inappropriate from a religious perspective.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRTIXEH7WI/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>COMBAT SPORTS</h2><p>Aside from modeling, they share another passion – the world of combat sports. All the brothers have dedicated themselves to it and have achieved remarkable success. They started with boxing and kickboxing, but today they are professional MMA fighters. Islam and Tamerlan, in particular, are big stars, known especially from our cage. Islam has even recently signed a contract with the UFC!</p><h2>CHILDREN OF FORTUNE</h2><p>A healthy lifestyle, sports, and a thriving career – all luxuries they could hardly dream of as refugees. Today, they train alongside the best coaches and world stars. That is why they dream of opening a gym one day, where immigrant children can prepare themselves and start writing stories similar to the Dulatov brothers.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/CdDCTD2uiya/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>DULATOV IN THE CAGE? THIS FEBRUARY</h2><p>Tamerlan is preparing for his fight in Düsseldorf, where he will surely receive enormous support from the home crowd. Last May, this fighter even had the opportunity to train alongside the legendary Michael "Venom" Page!</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7gyty4o4SG/"></oktinstagramcomponent><p><strong>OKTAGON 66 PACKED WITH LOCAL STARS AND CZECHOSLOVAK FIGHTERS.

LIKE A MOVIE. THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF THE DULATOV BROTHERS

<p>Today, we’re introducing another name joining the Tipsport Gamechanger cage. But we’re sure you’ve heard of Krzysztof Jotko before…</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7d17d2ec-b63e-42fb-846f-452f19a875c7/cs.1737124154632.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/159405da-2a39-41b7-b3d1-3485f86f5f9f/cs.1737124159509.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>FROM BREAKDANCING TO THE UFC</h2><p>Let’s start from the beginning. The Polish fighter made his professional debut in 2010 at just 20 years old. That’s when his incredible journey began—three years and 13 fights undefeated, including wins over the first Tipsport Gamechanger season champion, Bojan Veličković, and Martin Zawada. After such a stellar start, there was only one offer he could accept…</p><p><strong>FUN FACT:</strong> Before Jotko got into combat sports, he was a successful breakdancer. That’s why he often celebrates his victories by spinning on his head. However, he hasn’t tried these moves on his opponents yet.</p><h2>THE AMERICAN DREAM</h2><p>This marked the beginning of a long chapter in the UFC. Over 11 years, Jotko participated in 17 bouts. Among those was a planned match with Makhmud Muradov, which was canceled during the pandemic. Jotko not only settled in America but also started training there, preparing to this day with the elite American Top Team. This extraordinary chapter of his life solidified his place among Poland’s prominent sports figures.</p><h2>ENDURANCE ABOVE ALL</h2><p>His career didn’t end with the UFC. Today, Jotko boasts 25 wins, 17 of which went to the judges’ decision—proving that wearing him out is no easy feat. In November, after a long break, he returned to the cage with a second-round finish, and he surely has similar plans for his next opponent.</p><h2>THAILAND AND JAPAN</h2><p>Asia is his second home. He lived in Thailand for several years, falling in love with the local food, people, and training conditions—not to mention motorcycle rides.</p><p>He also has a strong connection to Japanese culture. One of his favorite series is the legendary Dragon Ball Z, and he even has a tattoo of a character from the show. Can you guess which one?</p><h2>FACE-TO-FACE WITH DRACULA</h2><p>The opening fight of the million-dollar tournament promises to be thrilling. Jotko will face the newly crowned welterweight champion, who’s not satisfied with success in just one division—Ion Surdu is at the peak of his career and ready to fight for millions. First, though, he’ll have to get past one of the tournament’s top favorites, Krzysztof Jotko, who is backed by both fans and experts.</p><p><strong>JOTKO OR SURDU?

<p>And it’s here! Just as we crowned the king of the Tipsport Gamechanger lightweight pyramid, Losene Keita, the third season of the European MMA Champions League is upon us. This league has firmly established itself as one of the most memorable events in OKTAGON history. This time, middleweight fighters will compete for the grand prize.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/46d6ce59-e129-4cff-bbf7-2d0723d309da/cs.1736955316299.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7766636e-ddc4-4b34-9a31-d5ba3f5ece7b/cs.1736955323300.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p>"We’re looking at the most stacked season of the European MMA Champions League yet. Fans can expect an incredible quality of matches and the highest number of local fighters in the pyramid. I’m also thrilled that the Tipsport Gamechanger will span multiple events," says Ondřej Novotný, the promoter of our organization. Let’s dive into the details!</p><h2>WHAT’S DIFFERENT THIS YEAR?</h2><p>This year’s edition brings a significant change. The first round, the Round of 16 of this prestigious competition, won’t take place during a single event but will be spread across three locations in two countries. Let’s see which matches you can expect where and when so you don’t miss a thing!</p><h2>DÜSSELDORF WITH THE HOME CHAMPION</h2><p>The new season kicks off in Düsseldorf, Germany, which is already nearly sold out – and for good reason!</p><p>The highlight of the evening will feature the reigning champion, <strong>Engizek</strong>, undefeated for nine years, fighting in his hometown. In the first round, he’ll face the rising MMA star <strong>Salamone</strong> from France, known for his versatility and ability to finish most opponents before the time limit.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1086"></oktfightcomponent><p>Additionally, <strong>Matěj Peňáz</strong>, a big name in the middleweight division, will return to action. He’ll square off against <strong>David Zawada</strong> in a match that’s been brewing with tension for months. This fight was destined to happen.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1115"></oktfightcomponent><h2>FIRST TIME IN TŘINEC</h2><p>Three more matches will take place in Třinec, marking OKTAGON’s debut in this city.</p><p>Czech fan favorite <strong>Miloš Petrášek</strong> will chase his dream, but first, he’ll have to get past the dangerous Englishman <strong>Stanton</strong> in the opening round.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1119"></oktfightcomponent><p>Another highly anticipated match, now part of the pyramid, features the incredibly resilient <strong>Wawrzyniak</strong>, respected throughout the organization, against <strong>Mazúch</strong>, whose knockout power has even seasoned fighters on edge. His last highlight was a quick KO at Eden.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1118"></oktfightcomponent><p>To complete the trio of thrilling bouts, OKTAGON newcomer <strong>Hulme</strong>, a submission and grappling specialist, will make his debut in the cage. His opponent, however, is no stranger to the cage – <strong>Andreas Michailidis</strong>, the Greek giant and last year’s Tipsport Gamechanger finalist, who’s back with his sights set on the million-euro prize.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1120"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ACTION-PACKED KARLOVY VARY</h2><p>The final stop of the first round will be Karlovy Vary. This time, instead of movie stars, the city will host the elites of one of the toughest sports.</p><p>We’ll definitely see <strong>“Pirát” Krištofič</strong> in action, but the question remains – who will be the wildcard joining the game for the first time this year? Any guesses?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1108"></oktfightcomponent><p>When it comes to middleweights, no one should overlook <strong>Vlasta Čepo</strong>. Fans can look forward to a clash of hard-hitting finishers. Čepo rarely lets fights reach the second round, while his opponent, <strong>Kartal</strong>, has most of his victories within the time limit, half of them in the very first round.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1117"></oktfightcomponent><p>Rounding out the stacked lineup is the newly crowned welterweight champion, the star “<strong>Dracula” Ion Surdu</strong>. He’s facing a tough challenge in the form of a massive tournament favorite, the current world #43 with 11 UFC wins – none other than Polish ace <strong>Jotko</strong>.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1116"></oktfightcomponent><h2>WHAT REMAINS THE SAME?</h2><p>As always, you can look forward to top-notch MMA and a series of reserve matches, which, as we saw last year, often bring thrilling surprises and feature excellent fighters. Also returning is the fan-favorite Lucky Loser poll, which allows the best fighters eliminated from the pyramid to re-enter through reserve bouts.</p><p><strong>WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE?

BIG OVERVIEW: FIRST ROUND OF TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER. WHERE, WHEN, AND WHO?

<p>Introducing the first debutant set to premiere in OKTAGON in the opening round of the new Tipsport Gamechanger season. Today, we’re telling you more about the dangerous "Polar Bear" from France... Meet Anthony Salamone.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/516301de-d83b-4730-9f31-ffb8606b0d51/cs.1736874709996.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/aafa4249-33db-4694-a9ff-012a8f72688e/cs.1736874703772.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>BETWEEN GRECO-ROMAN WRESTLING AND MMA</h2><p>His beginnings were certainly remarkable, though Salamone himself admits he wasn’t much of a sports enthusiast as a child. Born in Tourcoing, France, he only started practicing combat sports as a teenager. After discovering MMA, he also decided to dive into Greco-Roman wrestling, a discipline with a strong tradition in France.</p><p>At the age of 16, Salamone made his professional MMA debut – and it’s worth mentioning that he finished his first opponent in the first round with a Rear Naked Choke. This happened in Belgium, as MMA was still illegal in France at the time. For this reason, Salamone leaned more toward traditional wrestling for several years.</p><p>And he excelled – he became a national champion multiple times and even represented France on the national team. He describes his early career as constantly switching between wrestling and MMA. Wrestling remained a part of his journey for ten years.</p><p><strong>DID YOU KNOW?</strong> His nickname, "Ours Blanc," means "Polar Bear" in French.</p><h2>RETURN TO MIDDLEWEIGHT</h2><p>Thirteen years of professional fighting brought many stellar moments. Salamone has finished all his fights before the time limit, with most victories coming in under two minutes! However, he can also win on points, and his ground-game experience makes him a persistent and dangerous opponent.</p><p>He is now returning to the middleweight division after 3.5 years, having competed exclusively in light heavyweight since 2022. Middleweight, however, seems to suit him best – he remains undefeated in this weight class.</p><p><strong>FUN FACT: </strong>Salamone faced Will Fleury, the new light heavyweight champion, in 2022!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1086"></oktfightcomponent><p>In the pyramid’s opening round, Salamone faces a real challenge – the reigning champion, Engizek, who defeated Patrik Kincl in the fall to claim the middleweight throne. Will Salamone be the one to shake Engizek’s confidence?</p><h2>KEITA’S DARK HORSE</h2><p>Who does last year’s Tipsport Gamechanger winner, Keita, trust? He’s all in on Salamone, naming him as his favorite and even sending him into the fight. This endorsement from Keita undoubtedly carries weight with fans.</p><h2>PROUD OF HIS HOMETOWN </h2><p>Salamone is proud of his French roots and his northern region. He dreams of one day building a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to combat sports in his hometown, where France’s best fighters could train.</p><p><strong>ENGIZEK VS.

<p>The unforgettable card lived up to all the expectations it set. Tipsport Gamechanger has its king, and although Vémola lost the title in the final fight at the O2 Arena, he certainly didn’t lose his honor. Bolander went from being a substitute to becoming the champion, while veterans like Mågård, Úškrt, and Tichota experienced disappointment. Sardari confirmed his abilities, and right from the start, Czechoslovakian fans were cheering for wins from Batfalský, Novák, and Gabal.</p><p><strong>Here are the detailed results of all the matches:</strong></p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7782dbb5-013e-44d0-8331-448ac7f9b82c/cs.1735517635043.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/f01219b7-fdb1-4615-9399-feffe09141a2/cs.1735517643621.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER: PARADEISER VS. KEITA – TIPSPORT PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT</h2><p>The evening reached its peak with the final of the million-dollar pyramid, which also featured the OKTAGON lightweight title. It was such a big match that it seemed neither finalist was eager to start. The fight eventually opened with a kick from Rony, followed by many more. Keita’s incredible speed and agility took the first round in his favor. The second round was also the final one—Paradeiser made several strange decisions that turned out to be his downfall. After managing to close Keita's eye, Paradeiser attempted a takedown, but a mistake led to a devastating elbow, costing him both the Tipsport Gamechanger trophy and the title. Losene Keita is the new double champion, with injury being the only thing that has stopped him so far. The birthday boy got the best gift plus the bonus for the best performance of the night.

Karlos entered the cage with enormous fan support pushing him further. In the first round, Fleury surprised everyone by immediately going for a takedown and putting Karlos under serious pressure on the ground. Then came a wild exchange of strikes, with Karlos taking some incredibly hard hits. He staggered, and it seemed like it was just a matter of seconds before the Czech legend would be finished. But no. Karlos survived what felt like three near-death moments in a row, then took Fleury down, where it even looked like he might get a submission. The second round brought a fresh burst of energy, and of course, Vémola brought the fight to the ground. Both fighters spent a long time testing their strength, but Fleury controlled the situation with hard strikes. The round ended against the fence. The rest of the fight was marked by understandable fatigue from both men, but neither gave up, despite how tough it was. Fleury gradually realized he would have to rely on points to secure the win. In the last 30 seconds, Karlos tried for a miraculous KO, but it didn’t happen. Even though Terminator didn’t win a round, he certainly won the fans' hearts and earned the respect of everyone who watched this breathtaking performance. The title, however, went to the new light heavyweight champion, Will "F*cking" Fleury! Let’s see if he faces Muradov, whom he immediately challenged with his characteristic boldness after his win.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1076"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PUDILOVÁ VS. BOLANDER 2</h2><p>It was destiny that Pudilová and Bolander met just three months after their first duel, which the Czech favorite won narrowly. Substitute Bolander wanted her title shot so much that she finally got it. Once again, it was incredibly close and tough. Pudilová initially struggled with distance in the stand-up but eventually figured out how to land on Bolander, opening up bloody cuts on her face. After three rounds, the fight continued as a very even contest, almost like a boxing match. In the fourth round, Pudilová closed Bolander's eye, but Bolander didn’t stop and made it clear that the final round would decide the winner. Bolander seemed to realize that this was her last chance and found her final reserves of strength—suddenly, she landed with such precision that she won the longed-for title, by just one point. The emotions that the champion's belt triggered in her were wild and unstoppable.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1114"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MÅGÅRD VS. SEVERINO</h2><p>The pace set by the main card didn’t slow down in this fight between Denmark’s "Shark" and newcomer Severino. He entered the cage with an intense energy, reminding everyone of the disqualification that had made him famous. The strikes Severino landed early on in the fight looked like they would end it in record time, but the fight went on much longer. Severino denied Mågård’s attempts to take him down, but in the second round, Severino started showing signs of fatigue. Mågård returned the energy from the start and, had he not chosen to take the fight to the fence, we might have seen a KO from Denmark. Severino came into the final round with fresh energy and confidence, but Mågård wasn’t to be outdone and demonstrated his experience and endurance. Despite Severino’s energy, the third round was decisive, and the Brazilian newcomer claimed victory by split decision. This is a fighter we will definitely hear more about.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1085"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ÚŠKRT VS. SCHWINDT</h2><p>The fight that set the whole arena on fire only gave fans a short break after the first round. The cage saw just about everything—striking exchanges, flying elbows, illegal blows, and a wild back-and-forth dominance between the two on the ground and against the cage. Halfway through the second round, when Schwindt got Úškrt to his back and started landing a barrage of strikes, the referee had no doubt and awarded the win to the German by TKO, despite the protests from the crowd.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1066"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SARDARI VS. DIMIĆ</h2><p>Dimić felt the damage. In the reserve bout for Tipsport Gamechanger, Sardari came in with everything he had from the start and dominated the fight. His opponent, who accepted the match at the last minute, became a perfect example of what Sardari is capable of. The Dutchman didn’t drag out the suffering. In the second round, Sardari expertly choked him out and confirmed his place as a fighter with a strong reputation in the organization.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1113"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TICHOTA VS. ASLANER</h2><p>Even at the end of the year, Tichota, who was trying out the lightweight division for the second time, didn’t have much luck. Although he entered the cage as the favorite, Aslaner immediately crushed any doubts about himself by breaking Tichota's nose early in the fight. Tichota struggled to gain control throughout the match, with Aslaner nearly sending him home by the end of the first round. Though Tichota found some rhythm in the second round, his attempts in both stand-up and on the ground weren’t enough to secure the win. In the end, Aslaner won by split decision, despite Tichota's efforts.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1082"></oktfightcomponent><h2>NOVÁK VS. KURHELA</h2><p>Marco Novák once again showed the huge progress he’s made in MMA. Ironically, his stand-up, where he is usually strong, wasn’t as effective at times. Kurhela was more precise in the stand-up, but both fighters were determined to get the fight to the ground. After a wild exchange in the second round, they finally went to the ground, where Novák took a hard hit that caused a bump on his forehead. The final round was a back-and-forth battle, with neither fighter giving an inch. In the end, Marco Novák won by decision.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1035"></oktfightcomponent><h2>GABAL VS. BAJRAMI</h2><p>Like a game of cat and mouse. Gabal didn’t waste any time and immediately knocked Bajrami to the ground. The German tough guy survived the first round, which was marked by a brutal ground battle. In the second round, Bajrami briefly had the upper hand when he got Gabal to the ground, but it didn’t last long. Gabal almost submitted him, but Bajrami managed to escape. The final round was a frantic scramble for position, but the judges awarded the win to Gabal, though Bajrami certainly didn’t make it easy for him.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1112"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BATFALSKÝ VS. TOPORCER</h2><p>The local favorite, Batfalský, entered the cage with great energy, accompanied by a Czech rap star, who helped him get in the right mindset. Batfalský started the fight strong and had the upper hand from the start. It only took 1 minute and 41 seconds for Toporcer to hit the ground, where the 22-year-old talent finished him off. Now that’s how you get the crowd fired up!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1083"></oktfightcomponent>

Check out the detailed results of the last OKTAGON this year, which was packed with incredible moments. 

OKTAGON 65 RESULTS: NEW CHAMPIONS CROWNED

<p>Tomorrow brings us a fight card like no other: 3 title fights and the very best of the entire organization under one roof at the O2 Arena. Let’s take a look at what you can look forward to!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/98a62caf-82bd-4a7a-8f3d-db07b0b7af6a/cs.1735396294296.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/efe84b88-5cad-44bd-b72a-f1e6a9982545/cs.1735396299849.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER: PARADEISER VS. KEITA 2</h2><p>The grand finale of the million-dollar pyramid and a rematch that countless fans have been dreaming about! This isn’t just about the title of the best lightweight in Europe and life-changing money, but also the championship belt (thrown into the mix by the current lightweight king Rony) and the top spot in the P4P rankings across all OKTAGON weight classes. Rony tore through the pyramid like a hot knife through butter, and after a tough first round, he hasn’t stumbled once – he is at the peak of his powers. Similarly, the stellar Keita is aiming to become the champion of two divisions at once. One of the biggest fights in the organization’s history will decide: will Keita take everything from Rony, or will Paradeiser comfortably sit on the throne that took so much hard work to reach?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1032"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VÉMOLA VS. FLEURY</h2><p>This one is personal! Will Fleury came to OKTAGON, insulted nearly the entire division, and immediately called out Karlos. And his plan worked. After crushing defeats of Škvor and Langer, the world’s #45 got exactly what he wanted. Beyond the title fight, this is also about personal revenge! Vémola allegedly injured Fleury during a training session in England years ago and never even apologized. While the Czech legend has no recollection of this, Fleury still can’t let it go! Will we see the legend and current light heavyweight champion in trouble, or will he leave as the king once again?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1076"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PUDILOVÁ VS. BOLANDER 2</h2><p>Szabová cannot step in at the last moment, which is undoubtedly a great pity. However, the replacement, Bolander, is fully prepared to seek revenge for her last encounter with Pudilová, and this time it’s for the title. Their first fight already delivered an unforgettable and incredibly tough spectacle. Undoubtedly an excellent replacement, Bolander is a huge Norwegian talent, while Pudilová only recently returned after two years away from the UFC, where she made history as the first Czech woman to compete. It was her relatively close victory over Bolander in Brno that earned her this title fight, which fatefully brings both women back into the cage.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1114"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MÅGÅRD VS. SEVERINO</h2><p>Bantamweight’s number one, Mågård, has already proven multiple times that he doesn’t fear much. When Igor Severino, a controversial new signing, announced his arrival to the organization, Mågård gladly took up the challenge. After some trash talk on social media, it’s time to settle it in the cage. Severino is a huge threat not just for the bantamweight division. His only career loss came from a disqualification in the UFC for biting his opponent – now he’s figuratively sharpening his teeth for the “Shark”!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1085"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ÚŠKRT VS. SCHWINDT</h2><p>Úškrt has experienced a lot in the cage – from Kertész, through Monster, to Magnor, whom he finished in the first round. Now he faces a sudden change of opponent, as Polívka is ill, and German substitute Daniel Schwindt steps in. Schwindt has 7 professional fights under his belt, and all his victories have come before the time limit. He’s no pushover.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1066"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SARDARI VS. DIMIĆ</h2><p>The last reserve fight of this year's Tipsport Gamechanger tournament has undergone a last-minute change, but the excitement is guaranteed. Sardari, a former two-time Cage Warriors champion and a top Dutch lightweight fighter, has never been knocked out but has racked up numerous finishes himself. In the first round of the pyramide, he almost defeated Keita! Dimić, a Serbian talent, didn’t hesitate to step in on short notice just days before the fight and stands out with his explosive style. Will Sardari's calm and experience prevail, or will the fierce Serbian energy take the win?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1113"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TICHOTA VS. ASLANER</h2><p>Jakub Tichota is a rare phenomenon – at just 23 years old, he already has two title fights and challenges that his older colleagues are only now preparing for. His path to the top was interrupted by a serious injury, which ultimately forced him to change weight classes. This will be his second fight in the lightweight division, this time against Germany’s skilled Aslaner, who has already become a champion in one of Germany’s organizations. For him, too, this is a fresh start after a long-term injury. Who will enter the new year as a winner?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1082"></oktfightcomponent><h2>GABAL VS. BAJRAMI</h2><p>Peter Gabal, the IMMAF vice-champion of the world, showcased his dominance with an impressive 18-second victory at PML, proving he’s ready to take on bigger challenges. Opposing him is Bajrami, a fighter who has defeated all his opponents before the time limit with devastating strikes, perfected through years of training in boxing and MMA. Two finish specialists facing off in a bout that promises to deliver an electrifying spectacle.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1112"></oktfightcomponent><h2>NOVÁK VS. KURHELA</h2><p>Marco Novák continues his transformation into a successful MMA fighter. At OKTAGON 59, he earned a valuable victory against Roušal, dominating on the ground. The WKU kickboxing world champion now holds a three-fight win streak, all of which ended before the time limit. Against the versatile Finnish fighter Eemil Kurhela, an experienced amateur champion, Novák faces a crucial test of his all-around skills.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1035"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BATFALSKÝ VS. TOPORCER</h2><p>Twenty-one-year-old Batfalský, the Czech and Slovak amateur champion, is riding a two-fight win streak, with four of his five victories coming by finish. He’s gained experience alongside the stellar Keita. Slovak talent “El Diablo” Toporcer boasts two KOs and two submissions, finishing his first three professional fights in the first round. Which of these two rising talents is heading for the top?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1083"></oktfightcomponent>

YOUR GUIDE: OKTAGON 65 FIGHT BY FIGHT

<p>In just a few days, Prague’s O2 Arena will host the best fight card we’ve ever seen. We turned to the stars of OKTAGON for their predictions. And who better to ask than the newly crowned champion Ion Surdu and the experienced David Kozma?</p><p>Will you trust their picks?</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/5ffe1308-3441-4f32-ba4c-ed3de5d31d29/cs.1735313471041.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/87efe335-4d5b-4fbf-83e4-6b84132424e2/cs.1735313476669.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TIPSORT GAMECHANGER FINAL: PARADEISER VS. KEITA 2</h2><p>The pinnacle of the pyramid, where it’s not just about a dream prize money but also the title of Europe’s best lightweight. Rony Paradeiser has even thrown his championship belt into the mix, and there’s the added stake of the top spot in the P4P rankings across all weight classes. It’s truly all or nothing!</p><p><strong>Ion Surdu:</strong></p><p>Only one team can be here—only Paradeiser. I train with Rony and do my training camps with him. I know how heavy his hands are, how strong his legs are. He’s on a completely different level now compared to two or three years ago. Back then, it was just fists and fights. Now, Rony is on another level, while Keita is more or less at the same level. If Rony catches him, Keita will go down—either a knockdown or a knockout. So, yes, Rony. Rony by points or KO/TKO.</p><p><strong>David Kozma:</strong></p><p>I think this time, Rony wins. Their first fight was already very close, but I believe Rony has improved more since then. I see it being a great firefight, where Rony’s accuracy will prevail, and he’ll win on points.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1032"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VÉMOLA VS. FLEURY</h2><p>The reigning king and legend, Karlos Vémola, has accepted a tough challenge in the form of world #45, the hot-headed Irishman Fleury, whose plan to claim Vémola’s belt has been flawless so far. Will he complete his mission, or will Karlos silence him?</p><p><strong>Ion Surdu:</strong></p><p>Vémola vs. Fleury—that’s a banger! Vémola is the biggest star in OKTAGON. He’s a champion at 93 kilos and was also the champion at 84 kilos. He’s already a legend. Fleury is an experienced guy with KO power, solid grappling, and good wrestling. I’ll say Vémola wins by submission. If it ends in a knockout, it’ll likely be Fleury, but my pick is Vémola by submission.</p><p><strong>David Kozma:</strong></p><p>A really tough opponent for Karlos. Stylistically, he won’t like this matchup. Fleury is big and strong, which will make him hard to take down, and Karlos could tire himself out in the process. But it’s a five-round fight, and I think Karlos will dig deep and pull it off with heart.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1076"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SHARE YOUR PICKS AND WIN €2.5 MILLION!</h2><p>What about you?

We asked two welterweight stars for their insights into Sunday’s title fights.

ANALYSIS FROM KOZMA AND SURDU: WHO WILL BECOME THE CHAMPION IN PRAGUE?

<p>It feels like it went by in a flash—another year packed with the best of European MMA in the Tipsport Gamechanger is behind us. This year showcased the top talents of the lightweight division, featuring gripping stories and breathtaking battles. Let’s take a journey through time to relive the path to the spectacular finale we’ll witness this Sunday at the O2 Arena.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6e476f82-0e63-4615-a70e-69560d244d2f/cs.1734969057136.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/dc747f09-1534-47c5-b7e2-c42ac6e0e4f7/cs.1734969066660.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>IT ALL STARTED IN MARCH</h2><p>Most of the Round of 16 took place in March at the OSTRAVAR Arena, where six fighters secured their spots in the next stage:</p><p><strong>Legierski </strong>triumphed over Kohout, <strong>Bogdanović </strong>shocked Nafuka, leaving him in tears, <strong>Duque</strong> surprised everyone, particularly his opponent Grabinski, <strong>Machaev</strong> obliterated one of the biggest favorites, Amirkhani, <strong>Torres</strong> defeated the second Czech contender Lengál, and <strong>Rony Paradeiser</strong>, now a finalist, edged past Korkmaz, despite battling illness during his preparation.</p><p>But wait—are we missing someone?</p><h2>A WILD FIRST ROUND: INJURIES, CONFLICTS, AND DRAMA</h2><p>Not everything went smoothly.</p><p><strong>Losene Keita</strong>, who will step into the finale in just a few days, was a highly anticipated addition to the tournament. However, shortly after his participation was confirmed, an injury sidelined him from competing in Ostrava. Fans, however, voted for him to get a second chance, which he seized in May in Frankfurt by defeating Sardari on points. Yet, his Dutch opponent gave him a tough fight, and there were moments when it seemed Keita’s journey might end there.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/5caef68c-1c63-45f6-b9d8-2e4ab4806b06/cs.1734970076536.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/abd3f371-7b79-46de-b772-f11cc934d28c/cs.1734970085650.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p>Then came the <strong>Wanliss vs. Siraj</strong> saga—a story many might prefer to forget. The cocky Englishman and Sweden's top lightweight served up a heap of drama. What started as provocation from Wanliss turned into an ugly attack by Siraj's coaches, and their match was canceled at the last minute. The two were given another chance in Birmingham, but the tension persisted. Ultimately, Wanliss emerged victorious, though he didn’t exactly win over the fans.</p><h2>QUARTERFINALS IN THE SUMMER HEAT</h2><p>The pyramid’s opening round set up more storylines than anyone could have anticipated. The quarterfinals, featuring four matches, were split between Prague and Bratislava.</p><p>In Prague’s Eden Arena, in front of nearly 30,000 fans, Wanliss was soundly defeated by <strong>Legierski</strong>, to the delight of the audience. The evening’s surprise came from powerhouse Acoidan <strong>Duque</strong>, who, against expectations, knocked out the promising Machaev with remarkable skill.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/79cce653-5f4d-4e08-8d68-0f00f0ddcee0/cs.1734970213950.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/09440213-9692-45ff-85aa-168ac5f0e4ad/cs.1734970217872.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p>In Bratislava, the future finalists faced off. <strong>Losene Keita</strong> achieved a TKO against Bogdanović in the second round, while <strong>Rony Paradeiser</strong> defeated Torres on points. Both advanced to the semifinals, sharing the joy of their progress.</p><h2>SEPTEMBER: HIGH STAKES, BIG DECISIONS</h2><p>Time flew by, and suddenly, it was the semifinals! The million-dollar pyramid showdown took place in Brno, with the match between<strong> Legierski and Keita</strong> as the centerpiece. Both fighters were unusually cautious, aware of the stakes and the dangers they faced in the cage. A few precise strikes from the Belgian star and a decisive points victory secured his spot in the grand finale.</p><p>The Canary Islands’ miracle, <strong>Duque</strong>, faced a relentless <strong>Paradeiser</strong>, but the Slovak champion proved too much to handle. With a precise KO, Rony ended his opponent’s run with just over a minute left in the match.</p><h2>WHO WILL BE EUROPE’S BEST LIGHTWEIGHT?</h2><p>And so we arrive at the year’s end and the grand finale that fans have been dreaming about since the tournament began: champion <strong>Paradeiser</strong> versus the star <strong>Keita</strong>. The Slovak fighter is clearly in the form of his life, even putting his championship belt on the line. Additionally, the fight will determine the top spot in the pound-for-pound rankings across all weight classes. For Rony, it’s all or nothing; for Keita, it’s a chance for glory, wealth, and the title of double champion.</p><h2>SHINING IN THE RESERVE BOUTS</h2><p>Let’s not forget those who served in the reserve bouts, ready to step in when needed. <strong>Attila Korkmaz</strong> stood out, earning fans’ admiration twice as a “Lucky Loser.” Outstanding performances also came from <strong>Buki</strong> and <strong>Sardari</strong>, who will make his second appearance in the reserve match on Sunday against <strong>Legierski</strong>.</p><h2>YOU CAN WIN TOO!</h2><p>The action-packed year culminates with a new addition: the Tipsport Gamechanger Challenge!
