OKTAGON’s debut in Dortmund delivered thrilling battles, surprises, and four submissions! A packed Westfalenhalle witnessed a night to remember!

HOLZER vs ILBAY

Max Holzer once again stole the show before the fight even started – entering on his brother’s shoulders in a dinosaur costume! But once inside the cage, it was all business. Max got Ilbay to the ground early and set the tone. Striking pressure, ground dominance – but Ilbay wouldn’t quit. Round two got even crazier – Ilbay landed bombs, defended takedowns, and almost turned things around. But Holzer stayed composed, got it back to the ground, and controlled. The “championship rounds” came – and Max put on a clinic! He dominated round four and finished with a slick rear-naked choke to stay undefeated. A masterful performance and the perfect ending to the night in Dortmund!

SCHÜDER vs TASCI

A movie-like start! “Flying” Uwe came in like a tornado and Tasci had no answers early on. It looked like it would end quickly, but Ediz weathered the storm, stood firm, and landed a game-changing hook! Uwe dropped, and the follow-up ground-and-pound sealed the deal. A miraculous comeback, a showcase of grit and fighting spirit. Post-fight respect between the warriors was the perfect reminder of what this sport is all about!

TAHA vs ZARAUZ

Hometown hero Taha stormed into the fight with one goal – to show who owns the cage! He threw bombs in round one, and though many missed, he dictated the pace with aggression. But round two brought trouble – Zarauz took his back and danger loomed! Khalid kept his cool, relied on his experience, and showed massive heart. He escaped and instantly turned the tide. The crowd exploded! A round two TKO and an emotional victory for the local warrior!

DURIC vs BOGDANOVIC

A tactical war where every mistake mattered! Duric and Bogdanovic approached with caution – neither wanted to risk it all. The Serbian edged the first two rounds with slightly cleaner and more active striking. But Duric turned up the pace in round three – pressing forward, landing more. The judges were split, but the decision went to Bogdanovic. Though the fight lacked big highlights, it proved both are high-level competitors. A precision battle on the MMA chessboard!

PALOKAJ vs NOVÁK

This striking showdown had fire from the start! Palokaj landed a big right hand early, sending Novák to the canvas. Though he got back up quickly, he spent the rest of the round on the defensive. Round two was much the same – Palokaj pressed, landed shots, and Marco couldn’t find his rhythm. By round three, the outcome was clear. Palokaj controlled the fight and rightfully took home the decision.

MONTAGNAC vs VOSGRÖNE

Frederik Vosgröne once again showed why he’s such a unique force. Not just with his flashy style and charisma, but with his relentless determination to take the fight to the ground at any cost! Montagnac stayed composed early and tried to score on the retreat, but Vosgröne kept diving in until he finally got the takedown. Once on top, he dominated and finished with a slick arm triangle choke. A technical display that had the crowd in awe. That’s four wins in a row – plus a Performance of the Night bonus! Will he be the one to challenge champion Fleury next?

GRABINSKI vs SKRZYPEK

Full pressure from the first second! Grabinski drove Skrzypek to the cage and unloaded heavy shots. The Polish fighter didn’t back down – he countered, reversed clinches, and threw elbows. The intense pace continued into rounds two and three, and although fatigue set in, Grabinski kept control and kept landing. Both fighters left their souls in the cage, but the judges had no doubts – a win for the hometown favorite!

PUDILOVÁ vs CLOUDY

Lucie came in with a clear plan – pressure, combos, takedowns. Cloudy held her own in the stand-up, but once it hit the mat, Pudilová took over. She controlled round two and kept piling on strikes in round three. Cloudy couldn’t find any answers, and Pudilová secured a dominant decision win. A performance that put her right back in the title picture!

RYŠAVÝ vs BLACK-DELL

A striking war to be remembered! Black-Dell relied on head movement, but Ryšavý read him well and landed clean bombs. Karol ended round one with powerful knees, but Black-Dell stayed upright. In round two, Black-Dell took the fight to the ground and seemed to be in control… until Ryšavý shocked everyone with a lightning-fast guillotine from his back – the second submission from bottom that night! An epic comeback win for the Slovak warrior!

ABY vs WALID

Aby pushed Walid into a corner right from the start. Near the end of the first round, he came close to finishing the fight, but the bell saved his opponent. In round two, the fight went to the ground, but neither fighter gained a real advantage. In the third, Aby started to fade and Walid sensed his opportunity. He turned up the heat, went for a guillotine, and nearly turned the fight around! It was close on the scorecards – but Walid edged it with a 2:1 split decision.

HOŠEK vs STEFANOVIC

Hošek’s comeback looked like a nightmare at first – he went down in the very first exchange! Stefanovic took control and set the pace, but then came the moment that brought the whole arena to its feet! From his back, Hošek locked in a perfect triangle choke and forced the Serbian to tap! A spectacular first-round submission and a successful return to OKTAGON. Post-fight tensions hinted that things might not be over between these two.
