Berlin became the stage for a thrilling show that delivered several lightning-fast finishes in the opening seconds of battle. Reigning lightweight king Mateusz Legierski dominantly defended his championship throne inside the cage, while Irish phenomenon Will Fleury once again showcased his class and remains undefeated under the yellow-and-black banner. Dive into the detailed recap of OKTAGON 90 and relive the hardest moments of the entire night!

WILL FLEURY VS. KASIM ARAS

Two-division champion Will Fleury did it again and still hasn't found his conqueror under the yellow-and-black banners of OKTAGON! The opening round began rather tactically from both sides. While Aras opted for a more cautious approach, Fleury systematically dismantled his opponent from the first seconds with hard leg kicks. Aras tried a few aggressive rushes, but almost none of his strikes found a clean target. Early in the second round, however, a wild firefight erupted inside the cage. Aras managed to land successfully and then pushed the Irishman against the fence. But Fleury flipped the entire bout in his favor in a flash. He unloaded a crushing high kick that rocked his opponent and immediately followed with a heavy left. The shaken Aras crashed to the canvas, where Fleury opened up a devastating barrage of strikes that ended the fight. The star champion celebrates another dominant triumph. The Irish phenomenon won't rest for long, though, because on August 1st a huge test awaits him at a hopelessly sold-out Štvanice in the form of elite Czech striker Daniel Škvor.

MATEUSZ LEGIERSKI VS. GÖKHAN AKSU

The night's first title battle delivered a thrilling spectacle from the very opening seconds. Both men flew at each other at a tremendous pace. Legierski twice threatened with a hard right that visibly rocked Aksu. The determined challenger fired back in a flash, however, with a shot that unexpectedly dropped the Polish champion to the canvas. The reigning lightweight king showed the heart of a warrior and immediately got back to his feet. He soon found the target for his heavy punch again, took his opponent down and unleashed an absolutely devastating ground and pound. Under the avalanche of hard shots, the referee had no choice but to stop the bout early. Mateusz Legierski thus defended his championship throne in grand style for the very first time and proved to everyone exactly why he rules this division.

ALINA DALASLAN VS. DJULIA ARIANA

Germany's princess of MMA did it again! In the first round both fighters measured each other on the feet. Dalaslan was the sharper in the opening round and claimed it for herself. In the second round the fighters opened up far more aggressive exchanges. Midway through the second, Dalaslan landed a hard spinning elbow that opened up her opponent's forehead, and due to the gash the fight was stopped on a TKO at 2:39 of the second round. Dalaslan thus continues her flawless run without a single loss.

DENIS FRIMPONG VS. NIKO SAMSONIDSE

Another express finish of the Berlin night didn't let the fans in the arena catch their breath for even a moment. Niko Samsonidse entered this heated duel with tremendous composure and decided the fate of the entire fight with his very first shot. He landed two absolutely clean and devastating blows right on the chin, after which Denis Frimpong crashed straight to the ground. The anticipated clash thus found its winner before it could even properly get going. Samsonidse handed his opponent a brutal KO at 0:53 of the first round and, after a dominant start, celebrates a phenomenal triumph.

NIKLAS STOLZE VS. TYRONE PFEIFER

This was a lightning-fast affair indeed! Pfeifer flew into the cage like a hurricane and landed a crushing strike in the very second second, after which Stolze immediately collapsed to the ground. The charged-up heavy hitter waited for nothing, threw himself after his shaken opponent and unleashed a devastating ground and pound. Under the avalanche of heavy shots, the referee had no choice but to wave the bout off immediately. The clock stopped at an incredible 0:22 of the opening round. Pfeifer thus produced an absolutely dominant start, gave his opponent no chance whatsoever and adds a fantastic express victory to his record.

ATTILA KORKMAZ VS. SAID-KHUSEIN AKHYADOV

The opening five minutes played out entirely on the feet, where Korkmaz threatened with dangerous kicks while Akhyadov countered precisely with hard punches. The even start ultimately went to the latter. The middle round brought truly heart-stopping moments. Korkmaz landed an absolutely clean spinning kick to the head and an early finish hung by a thread. The shaken fighter, however, showed enormous heart, fought his way out of the critical situation and immediately began dishing out heavy shots himself. Although his opponent ramped up brutal pressure even more in the final seconds, Akhyadov survived a true hell inside the cage. The closing portion turned into a pure war full of sharp exchanges. But the more accurate man in the end was Akhyadov. Even though he took this bout on short notice, he showed himself to the fans in the best possible light and, after an admirable performance, takes a hard-earned victory by decision.

ARIJAN TOPALLAJ VS. JAN STANOVSKÝ

Topallaj flew into the cage with enormous energy and from the first seconds began outgunning the Czech representative on the feet. Stanovský tried to change the pace and delivered a successful takedown, but his aggressive opponent took over the initiative in a flash and threatened with a dangerous choke. Although Stanovský managed to fight his way to top control late in the opening round, he lost the advantage very quickly and the round went to the Albanian-German fighter. Early in the next five minutes there was no room left for a turnaround. At 1:22 Topallaj swiftly caught his opponent's neck, tightened the guillotine and forced Stanovský to tap.

MATĚJ PEŇÁZ VS. ALAN SILVA

Matěj "Money" Peňáz once again delivered exactly what the fans were tensely expecting and added another devastating TKO finish to his record in the very first round. About a minute and a half into the fight he sent a crushing punch straight to the chin, after which Silva went down. The Czech striker didn't hesitate for a second, swiftly moved behind his shaken opponent and showed absolutely dominant control. A hard series of shots followed, under whose weight the referee had to wave the bout off at 2:30. The elite striker thus recorded his eighth first-round finish on OKTAGON soil and returned to the cage in truly stellar form.

AHMAD HALIMSON VS. JOSEPH DONKOR

The opening round offered a very active and even spectacle. Both fighters traded in sharp exchanges on the feet and in tight clinches against the fence. In the very closing moments of the first round, however, Halimson stepped on the gas, landed his strikes precisely and swung the opening part of the battle his way. The second five minutes also played out purely on the feet, where it was Halimson who delivered far cleaner punches and kicks. A few seconds before the end Donkor unexpectedly threatened with a hard rear hand that visibly rocked his opponent, but no miracle turnaround came. The fight thus reached the third round. In it, Halimson confidently protected his lead all the way to the final horn and, after a controlled performance, celebrates a victory by decision.

ZAFAR MOHSEN VS. RICHIE SMULLEN

Now this was an absolutely thrilling ride! Afghan-German fighter Mohsen flew into the cage with a clear goal and landed exceptionally hard shots from the first seconds. The crushing pressure bore fruit very quickly when one of the bombs sent Smullen to the ground and an early finish hung in the air. Mohsen, however, let his shaken opponent get up, only to sit him back down with another precise strike moments later. The scenario repeated; the shaken opponent managed to rise to his feet once more, but a few seconds later came a final body shot that split the entire bout open for good. KO at 2:19 of the first round. Mohsen thus delivered an unprecedented show, marked a hard KO on his record and, after an absolutely dominant performance, celebrates a spectacular triumph.
