The OKTAGON 93 tournament kept the judges busy in only four out of twelve fights. On September 12, Brno's Winning Group Arena witnessed a night full of shocking turnarounds and devastating finishes, and even the few fights that went to the scorecards brought two close split decisions.

JONAS MÅGÅRD</h2>The heated main event of the Brno evening showed clear dominance by the Danish phenomenon. Jonas Mågård demonstrated immense ground strength, comfortably winning the first two rounds on all three judges' scorecards (20:18). The third round did not reach the scorecards. Mågård delivered another takedown, locked in a textbook guillotine choke, and forced the local striker to tap out at 0:35.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1460" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ANDREJ KALAŠNIK VS. KENNEDY RAYOMBA</h2>The biggest underdog on the fight card delivered a massive upset that was reflected crystal clear on the scorecards. Although Andrej Kalašnik secured the first five minutes on all three judges' cards thanks to his pressure, the German warrior took control from the second round onwards. Kennedy Rayomba took the fight to the ground and dictated the pace until the end. All three judges scored the bout identically 29:28 for Rayomba, who takes home a valuable unanimous decision victory from Brno.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1434" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>VLADIMÍR LENGÁL VS.

Clean scorecards and a lightning knockout at 3:02 of the first round.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1461" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>JOSEF HÁLA VS. RADOVAN ÚŠKRT</h2>A wild stand-up brawl under Stand and Bang rules promised a finish, and that is precisely what it delivered. The Slovak striker managed to win the opening round on two judges' cards with precise strikes. However, an illegal spinning attack interfered in the second round, resulting in a point deduction for Úškrt. But the scorecards were no longer needed. Hála targeted his strikes to the body, sent his shaken opponent to the canvas three times for knockdowns, and celebrated a TKO victory in the second round at 3:00.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1459" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL LIGOCKI VS. BRAJAN PRZYSIWEK</h2>Home fighter Daniel Ligocki safely secured the first round on all three judges' cards thanks to higher accuracy in clinches and stand-up.

A spectacular KO at 3:06 marked an early end.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1488" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>VOJTĚCH GARBA VS. ROBERT LAU</h2>The light heavyweight battle started better for the "Silesian Knight", who secured the first round on all three judges' cards with a takedown and ground control. In the second round, however, the German finisher entered with a clear goal and quickly shocked the whole arena. After less than a minute, he unleashed a crushing strike that sent Garba down, earning a highly valuable KO victory.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1484" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB DOHNAL VS. VOJTO BARBORÍK</h2>The anticipated clash of elite ground fighters surprisingly turned into an attractive stand-up exchange. Jakub Dohnal, who posed a dangerous threat in stand-up, took the opening round on two judges' scorecards. Then, in the 11th second of the second round, came the shocker. Dohnal's clean spinning head kick found its target, and a phenomenal KO left no room for doubt.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1464" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>TOMÁŠ CIGÁNIK VS. BERKAN BADUR</h2>One of two split decisions of the night and an extremely tense fight full of twists. The first round went to the German fighter on all three judges' scorecards. In the second round, the tables turned as the Slovak talent leveled the field and won the second five minutes on all cards. A key moment occurred near the end when Badur delivered an illegal knee and was penalized with a two-point deduction. That moment proved decisive. Two judges ultimately awarded the victory to Cigánik, while the third saw Badur winning by one point. A tight and immensely valuable victory goes to Slovakia.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1513" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ROBIN FOŠUM VS. DUSTIN RABIEGA</h2>The opening round offered a great performance by the German debutant, who was faster and deservedly took the first round on two of the three scorecards. However, Fošum switched to a higher gear in the second round, bided his time, and finished the fight with a clean hook to the chin. A triumphant return after years sealed by a hard KO at 1:56.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1507" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ŠIMON BRUKNAR VS. NATHAN HAYWOOD</h2>The clash of young talents had a clear ruler from the first second. Šimon Bruknar delivered a successful knockdown as well as ground work from dominant positions. All three judges scored his dominance identically across all three rounds, with one judge scoring the second round a decisive 10:8. A unanimous decision victory and his first win in yellow-black colors.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1510" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>NIAMH KINEHAN VS. ALANA COOK</h2>Undefeated British striker Niamh Kinehan lost the first five minutes on all three scorecards when her Canadian opponent pushed her against the cage. In the second round, however, Kinehan unleashed her game and after just 48 seconds connected with a precise left hook. A clear KO gave the judges no chance to fill out their scorecards.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1479" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ALI GÜNDÜZ VS. DÁVID DÁNIEL KOMÁR</h2>The opening fight of the gala event set the bar very high and ended in the night's first close split decision. The judges disagreed right from the start. Two out of three judges gave the first round to Dávid Dániel Komár, who troubled his opponent with accurate kicks, while the third judge saw it for Ali Gündüz. The second round saw the same 2:1 split in favor of Komár. After two rounds, two judges had the fight tied at 19:19, while the third had Komár leading by two points. The final round was all the more crucial, which Ali Gündüz dominated unanimously thanks to ground control. That was enough for a close 29:28 victory on two scorecards, while the third judge scored it by the same margin for Komár. Gündüz thus celebrates a hard-fought split decision victory.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1500" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent>The yellow-and-black colossus doesn't stop after Brno!

Brno experienced a night full of finishes and shocking moments! The OKTAGON 93 tournament delivered a phenomenal show with an unprecedented wave of hard KOs and breathtaking stoppage finishes. While Danish phenomenon Jonas Mågård silenced the hostile crowd in the main event, local brawlers Vlado Lengál or Jakub Dohnal brought fans to their feet.

JONAS MÅGÅRD</h2>The heated main event of the Brno evening knows its winner. Local brawler Radek Roušal started with a series of calf kicks. However, Jonas Mågård had a crystal-clear strategy from the opening seconds and quickly dove in for a takedown. Although the Czech striker managed to battle back to his feet several times from difficult positions, the Danish phenomenon demonstrated immense strength on the ground and comfortably controlled the first two rounds thanks to clear dominance. Almost the exact same scenario played out in the third round. Mågård delivered another successful takedown and worked into a dominant position, from which he swiftly locked in a textbook guillotine choke. There was simply no escape from this submission, and Roušal tapped out. In this tense personal rivalry, Jonas Mågård silenced the home crowd, celebrated a decisive submission victory, and added another valuable scalp to his record. Immediately following his triumph, he confidently called for a title shot right inside the cage, sending a clear message straight to the top of the division.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1460"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ANDREJ KALAŠNIK VS. KENNEDY RAYOMBA</h2>The return of the local favorite turned into a massive surprise, delivered by the biggest betting underdog on the entire card. In the beginning, Andrej Kalašnik pushed relentlessly for takedowns, which Kennedy Rayomba defended brilliantly for a long time, while both fighters exchanged several heavy blows inside the cage. It was only in the final minute of the first five-minute period that the Czech fighter got his opponent under him and secured the first round. However, the German warrior entered the second round with razor-sharp striking. Kalašnik countered, but his subsequent takedown attempts failed. Rayomba took the initiative, took the fight to the mat, and dictated the pace from a dominant position. Even in an exhausting third round, the German brawler controlled the action both standing and against the fence. Following a fantastic tactical performance, he celebrates a well-deserved decision victory, taking home the most valuable scalp of his career to date.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1434"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VLADIMÍR LENGÁL VS. MAURICE ADORF</h2>The highly anticipated clash kicked off with no holdbacks whatsoever. Neither fighter hesitated, unleashing a wild firefight in the cage right from the opening seconds.

RADOVAN ÚŠKRT</h2>The anticipated clash under special Stand and Bang rules delivered exactly what it promised. Both fighters charged into the fight at a thrilling pace, and a wild standing brawl immediately took over the cage. In the opening round, Slovak striker Radovan Úškrt showed slightly superior precision, securing the round on two judges' scorecards. However, the second round saw an unexpected moment when Úškrt unleashed an illegal spinning strike, resulting in an immediate point deduction. But the judges weren't needed for the final decision after all. Hála stepped on the gas, targeted his attacks on his opponent's midsection, and launched pure destruction. With devastating body shots, he sent his shaken opponent to the canvas three times, with the third standing count signifying the definitive end according to the rules. Hála thus emerges from this tough battle with a fantastic TKO victory.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1459"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL LIGOCKI VS. BRAJAN PRZYSIWEK</h2>The clash started at a high pace, as both fighters immediately began trading heavy strikes in the cage. The battle subsequently moved to the clinch, where the fighters wrestled for dominant position against the fence and exchanged several sharp blows. However, local warrior Daniel Ligocki displayed greater accuracy in the opening round and safely secured the first round. The Brno representative entered the second five-minute frame in better form as well, continuing to land precise strikes. Polish brawler Brajan Przysiwek showed immense durability, but halfway through the round, Ligocki pressed the accelerator and set a devastating pace. He began landing one clean combination after another until a knee sent his dazed opponent to the mat. Daniel Ligocki celebrates a grand KO victory in front of his home crowd, confidently returning to winning ways.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1488"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VOJTĚCH GARBA VS. ROBERT LAU</h2>The light heavyweight battle started better for the home representative. Vojtěch Garba secured a quick takedown and controlled his opponent from top position on the mat for most of the opening round. Only in the final seconds of the first round was Robert Lau able to break free and press the Czech fighter against the fence, but "The Silesian Knight" still comfortably took the first five-minute frame. However, the German debutant entered the second round with a crystal-clear goal and soon shocked the entire Brno arena. After less than a minute, he unleashed a punch that sent Garba down and ended the fight. In his debut under the yellow-and-black banner, Lau celebrates an valuable KO victory, fully confirming his reputation as a feared finisher.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1484"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB DOHNAL VS. VOJTO BARBORÍK</h2>The anticipated clash of two elite grapplers, both in desperate need of a return to the win column, started with a surprising striking battle on the feet. Instead of ground fighting, the crowd witnessed an attractive boxing exchange where legendary Vojto Barborík threatened with a heavy straight right, while Jakub Dohnal landed a dangerous spinning elbow near the end. Following a close round, the Czech warrior took the opening frame on the judges' scorecards. Right at the start of the second five-minute round, however, came an absolute shock that brought the entire Brno arena to its feet. Dohnal unleashed a devastating spinning head kick that landed cleanly and sent his Slovak opponent to the canvas. The expected grappling war never materialised, and Jakub Dohnal celebrates a phenomenal KO victory after this brilliant moment.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1464"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TOMÁŠ CIGÁNIK VS. BERKAN BADUR</h2>Now this was a battle! The anticipated clash of rising talents started intensely, with Berkan Badur landing a quick takedown in the opening seconds. Although the undefeated German fighter initially dominated on the ground, Tomáš Cigánik fought back to his feet after two minutes and ignited a wild standing brawl. Despite heavy blows flying from both sides, Badur secured the opening round thanks to another successful takedown near the end. A similar scenario unfolded in the second five-minute round, as the Slovak warrior broke free from an uncomfortable position and heavily punished his opponent with precise strikes. The final round was entered under extremely tense conditions, further impacted by a key moment: Badur struck his grounded opponent with an illegal knee to the head, causing a deep cut and receiving an immediate two-point deduction from the referee. The conclusion of this highly entertaining battle delivered another heart-pounding firefight in the cage. After an incredible fight, Slovak fighter Tomáš Cigánik takes home a well-deserved split decision victory.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1513"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ROBIN FOŠUM VS. DUSTIN RABIEGA</h2>Robin Fošum could not have celebrated his return to the cage after three and a half long years any more grandly! The anticipated clash offered a wild war right from the first second, with both fighters hunting for a finish. In the opening round, German debutant Dustin Rabiega delivered a great performance, looking significantly faster on his feet, displaying greater striking precision, and rightfully taking the first round. However, the local brawler charged into the second round with immense determination and began dictating the pace. Fošum bided his time and then unleashed a crushing combination finished off with a clean hook to the chin. The shaken Rabiega crashed helplessly to the canvas immediately, and the battle was over. Robin Fošum thus celebrates his comeback with a phenomenal knockout victory.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1507"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ŠIMON BRUKNAR VS. NATHAN HAYWOOD</h2>The clash of two young talents delivered a highly entertaining spectacle. Local Šimon Bruknar threatened with takedowns in the very first round and delivered a successful knockdown. Nathan Haywood tried to cleverly utilize his reach advantage, posing a dangerous threat with kicks and punches on the feet. The home fighter took the first round. In the second five-minute frame, the Brno fighter managed to close the distance, took the fight to the ground, and held a dominant position. Although the British showman survived an uncomfortable choke attempt late in the second round, he simply lacked the energy for a comeback. Bruknar expertly controlled the final round, celebrating his first victory in yellow and black in front of his home crowd after a dominant performance.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1510"></oktfightcomponent><h2>NIAMH KINEHAN VS. ALANA COOK</h2>The fight started exactly as expected. Alana Cook almost immediately attempted a takedown and pushed her opponent against the fence, where most of the opening round took place. However, the undefeated British striker showed precise defense, weathered the dangerous situation, and refused to go down. She gradually began landing hard strikes of her own, comfortably securing the first round. Right at the start of the second five-minute round, Niamh Kinehan fully unleashed her game, landing several precise kicks and punches. After one minute, she landed a devastating left hook that sent the Canadian fighter crashing hard to the mat. Kinehan dominates in yet another appearance, securing an extraordinarily valuable KO victory.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1479"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ALI GÜNDÜZ VS. DÁVID DÁNIEL KOMÁR</h2>Dávid Dániel Komár started actively, immediately targeting his opponent's leg with precise calf kicks. However, Turkish warrior Ali Gündüz countered cleverly. In the final seconds of the round, Komár attempted an unsuccessful takedown during which he took a series of hard knees to the head, yet still secured the opening round on two judges' scorecards. The Hungarian talent maintained a high pace into the second round, continuing his pressure and combinations on the feet. However, it was Gündüz who managed to tilt the scorecards in his favor with effective strikes, evening out the match. Both fighters entered the final round under extremely tense conditions. The Turkish favorite hit the gas, applied pressure, and successfully brought the fight to the ground, where he comfortably established a dominant position that he safely controlled for most of the time.

Local heavy hitter Radek "Ruchy" Roušal (7-2) is entering the first five-round battle of his career and is riding a four-fight winning streak before the limit, most recently putting Samuel Bark to sleep in seventy-five seconds. Standing against him is the Danish phenomenon and former bantamweight champion Jonas "Shark" Mågård (19-7), who is now moving up a weight class with the goal of capturing the featherweight belt. Furthermore, the fight has long since turned into a personal war due to insults on social media. Will Roušal confirm his dominance on home soil, or will the more experienced Mågård bring him back to earth?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1460"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ANDREJ KALAŠNIK VS. KENNEDY RAYOMBA</h2>The return of Brno's fan favorite, this time in a new weight class. Andrej "Vagabund" Kalašnik (13-6) moves to middleweight after an almost year-long hiatus and a lost title fight against Surdu. Standing against him is the tough German finisher Kennedy Rayomba (7-6), who has lost both of his fights in OKTAGON so far, but secured five of his seven victories in the first round. Can Kalašnik withstand his opponent's pressure and celebrate a victorious homecoming?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1434"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VLADIMÍR LENGÁL VS. MAURICE ADORF</h2>A collision of two exciting strikers eager to get back on the winning track. Brno patriot Vladimír "Vlado" Lengál (9-7) is a guarantee of a fantastic brawl. All nine of his victories came by KO or TKO, but he recently lost on points to Ozan Aslaner. Facing him is German fighter Maurice Adorf (6-4), who has had one fight in OKTAGON so far, in which he was stopped via RNC by Tomáš Cigánik. Which of these two strikers will manage to get back to winning ways in Brno?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1461"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JOSEF HÁLA VS. RADOVAN ÚŠKRT</h2>Special Stand and Bang rules, which ban takedowns, promise a pure shootout in a catchweight up to eighty kilograms. Josef Hála (5-0), the historically first Czech BKFC champion, burst into OKTAGON like a comet when he demolished Tomáš Mudroch in the second round in Liberec. Against him stands Slovak powerhouse Radovan Úškrt (9-6), whose all nine victories came by KO or TKO, eight of them in the first round. The judges will likely be left with no work to do.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1459"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL LIGOCKI VS. BRAJAN PRZYSIWEK</h2>The middleweight division will offer a duel between two fighters with strong personal stories. Home-crowd favorite Daniel Ligocki (5-3), who is accompanied to the corner by a priest as his coach, holds the second shortest average winning time in the organization. However, he lost his last two fights on points. His opponent is the Polish warrior Brajan Przysiwek (5-1), who arrives after a dominant debut where he defeated Vašek Klimša on points. Can Ligocki get back on the winning track, or will the Polish fighter claim a valuable scalp?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1488"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VOJTĚCH GARBA VS. ROBERT LAU</h2>A tough test in the light heavyweight division. "Silesian Knight" Vojtěch Garba (9-7) is a former soldier and firefighter in civilian life, who defeated Mateusz Strzelczyk in his organizational debut in Liberec. He currently holds the seventh spot in the light heavyweight division rankings. Entering the cage against him is German predator Robert Lau (11-3), whose all eleven victories came before the limit. Will Garba stop the German fighter, or will Lau deliver another brutal finish?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1484"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB DOHNAL VS. VOJTO BARBORÍK</h2>A treat for grappling fans, bringing together two of the best ground fighters on the European scene. Brno-based fighter Jakub Dohnal (13-7) must break a two-fight losing streak to prove he still belongs to the top tier. Opposite him stands former title challenger and legendary Slovak "Anaconda" Vojto Barborík (16-4), who has eleven submissions to his credit. Will Dohnal establish his control on the ground, or will Barborík's experience decide the match?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1464"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ROBIN FOŠUM VS. DUSTIN RABIEGA</h2>The return of a great prospect in the Stand and Bang format, at a catchweight up to ninety-three kilograms. Robin Fošum (2-1-1) was sidelined for more than three years due to serious health complications. His comeback will be challenged by the young German debutant Dustin Rabiega (0-0), who will experience standing under the yellow-and-black spotlight in the professional cage for the first time. Expect a tough stand-up battle where any single strike can decide the fight.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1507"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ŠIMON BRUKNAR VS. NATHAN HAYWOOD</h2>A bantamweight duel where a Brno prospect defends his fortress against a British talent. "Brno Comet" Šimon Bruknar (5-2) has over four hundred matches on the judo tatami under his belt and will want to confirm his potential in front of his fans. Against him goes British showman Nathan Haywood (4-3), who knocked down Lukáš Chotěnovský directly in this arena last year with an unprecedented head kick. Can Bruknar stop Haywood on home soil, or will we see another British exhibition?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1510"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TOMÁŠ CIGÁNIK VS. BERKAN BADUR</h2>A clash between a hungry prospect and an undefeated talent at a catchweight up to seventy-four kilograms. Slovak warrior Tomáš Cigánik (7-4) has never been finished by KO or submission in his career. Arriving to halt his momentum is the confident Berkan Badur (4-0), for whom a triumph over an established name would mean an immediate leap. Will Cigánik stand strong against an opponent who has not yet tasted defeat?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1513"></oktfightcomponent><h2>NIAMH KINEHAN VS. ALANA COOK</h2>A British-Canadian bantamweight clash in the women's division. Undefeated Niamh "The British Razor" Kinehan (2-0) is an elite striker decorated with WBC, WMO, and ISKA titles. Savage elbows, relentless pressure, and clinical precision make her one of the most dangerous female Muay Thai fighters in the world. Opposite her stands Canadian fighter Alana Cook (6-2), the historically first Canadian woman in OKTAGON, who brings international experience across Muay Thai, boxing, and BJJ to the cage. Will Kinehan confirm her position as one of the division's most dangerous women, or will the more experienced Cook hand her her first defeat?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1479"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ALI GÜNDÜZ VS. DÁVID DÁNIEL KOMÁR</h2>The entire event will be opened by a clash of two hungry bantamweight talents. Turkish fighter Ali Gündüz (6-1) currently holds eighth place in the division rankings and wants to solidify his spot among the elite. Standing in his way is Hungarian fighter Dávid Dániel Komár (5-2), who will make his debut in the organization. Which of them will send a clear signal to the rest of the division?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1500"></oktfightcomponent>The OKTAGON 93 tournament will turn Brno's Winning Group Arena into a battlefield this Saturday, September 12.

BRNO CARD FIGHT BY FIGHT: THE KINGS OF BRNO DEFEND THEIR FORTRESS

A priest who replaced his dad for years. A firefighter and former soldier who has already retired once. Or a Canadian PhD student who is learning Czech out of respect for the fans. Winning Group Arena in Brno will host the 17th OKTAGON tournament in the Moravian metropolis this Saturday, September 12. Dive with us into the interesting facts hidden behind the names on the fight card.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a853c9ff-872d-4ffa-9903-b50a1bd2132f/cs.1788959201146.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/5e5dc17f-f33b-4219-a8e8-0bb45e88a9e5/cs.1788959296432.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>LOCAL FAVORITE IN A HEATED MAIN EVENT</h2>The main event has escalated into a very personal dispute. Local favorite Radek "Ruchy" Roušal (7-2) goes into battle with a streak of 504 days undefeated and four KOs in a row. Moreover, he is headlining a main event for the first time. Opposite him stands Jonas "Shark" Mågård (19-7), a former bantamweight champion who moved to the featherweight division with the message "I AM THE TITLE!" However, his psychological warfare crossed the boundaries of standard trash talk long ago. On social media, he even targeted Roušal's girlfriend, influencer Nela Slováková, which caused a storm and turned pre-fight "teasing" into a personal conflict.<h2>FROM THE STREET TO A BARE-KNUCKLE BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP</h2>Josef "Berserker" Hála (5-0 in bare-knuckle boxing) has a story like something out of a movie. His father was a notorious street brawler. The criminal police reportedly visited him as early as elementary school. He carried aggression within himself that he had nowhere to channel for a long time, until he discovered combat sports. Last year, he became the first Czech BKFC champion. "For starting bare-knuckle just for fun, things got a bit out of hand," Hála says with a smile. He made his OKTAGON debut in Liberec, where he defeated Tomáš Mudroch via KO in the second round. Right from his first appearance in the organization, his natural presence made him a massive fan favorite. Standing in his way in Brno will be Radovan Úškrt (9-6). A sniper with a 100% finish rate. He has finished his opponents via KO nine times, with eight of those coming in the very first round.<h2>A PRIEST INSTEAD OF A FATHER AND A REUNION IN STUTTGART</h2>Daniel Ligocki (5-3) grew up without a dad. For years, the role of his father was replaced by a priest who introduced him to Japanese jiu-jitsu and shaped him for ten years. Today, Ligocki heads this style in the Czech Republic himself. The priest, who in his own way replaced his father for many years, still goes to his corner to this day. Before Ligocki entered a tournament in Stuttgart last March, he found out that his biological father lives in Germany. He tracked him down and invited him to his fight. The father came and saw his son fight in the cage for the first time in his life.<h2>A PHD STUDENT LEARNING CZECH VS. A SEASONED CHAMPION</h2>Alana "Alanamal" Cook (6-2), the first Canadian woman in OKTAGON history, is a student at the University of British Columbia outside the cage, where she is completing her PhD in kinesiology. As a member of the Métis, one of Canada's Indigenous peoples, her research focuses on the decolonization and indigenization of MMA—integrating Indigenous knowledge, cultures, and values into the sports environment. "Honestly, fighting is almost a break from working on my PhD," she says with a smile. Through her own non-profit organization Walking Like Warriors, she teaches Indigenous women self-defense, and at weigh-ins, she wears a red handprint over her face to support the movement for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Out of respect for Czech fans, she is also diligently learning Czech. In her free time, she loves solving crosswords.Facing her will be Niamh "The British Razor" Kinehan (2-0), a Manchester native who became the first woman in history to unify titles across the three most prestigious Muay Thai organizations. After a serious injury, doctors told her she would probably never fight again. A few months later, she was standing in the OKTAGON cage.<h2>A WRESTLING CHAMPION AND A CAGE ESCAPE ARTIST</h2>Andrej "Vagabund" Kalašnik (13-6) will make his middleweight debut. You might not have known that he is also a four-time Czech freestyle wrestling champion. In addition, he is the first fighter to submit the "immortal" Jungwirth with a choke, doing so in just 63 seconds. The card will also feature Vlado Lengál (9-7), whom many a magician might envy. He has managed to escape deep submissions and chokes in OKTAGON sixteen times, which is more than anyone else in the entire organization.<h2>A FIREFIGHTER IN THE CAGE AND A CASHIER WHO KICKS LIKE A KILLER</h2>Vojtěch "Slezský rytíř" Garba risks his neck in civilian life as a firefighter and previously earned a living as a professional soldier. He holds a victory over Goran Reljić, the man who once defeated the legendary Attila Végh. Facing him is the predator Robert Lau, whose eleven victories to date have all come inside the distance. Also appearing is Nathan "Little Red" Haywood (4-2), a supermarket cashier outside the cage, and inside the cage, the author of one of the most terrifying spinning hook kicks OKTAGON has ever witnessed.<h2>YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT THIS YET</h2><ul><li>Seven fighters on the card—Roušal, Kalašnik, Lengál, Dohnal, Ligocki, Haywood, and Bruknar—appeared at the last tournament in Brno. Roušal and Kalašnik have even competed in three consecutive Brno tournaments.</li><li>Šimon "Hobit" Bruknar (5-1) has over 400 fights to his credit in other disciplines. He started judo back in 2006.</li><li>Mågård's signature finish is the so-called Japanese necktie—he has finished five opponents with it.</li><li>Vojto Barborík holds the two fastest submissions in OKTAGON featherweight history, was the winner of the historic 200th fight decided on points, and also featured in the organization's milestone 400th fight.</li><li>Murat Tüysüz has a rich kickboxing background—he compiled a 24-3 record in K1 and holds a world champion title.</li></ul>Brno will experience a spectacular MMA show once again!

A priest who replaced his dad for years. A firefighter and former soldier who has already retired once. Or a Canadian PhD student who is learning Czech out of respect for the fans. Winning Group Arena in Brno will host the 17th OKTAGON tournament.

INTERESTING FACTS FROM THE BRNO CARD: A SUPERMARKET CASHIER OR A CANADIAN LEARNING CZECH

He retired four years ago. After his return, a series of defeats followed. Now, however, Vojtěch Garba has a successful OKTAGON debut behind him and, in his own words, wants to reach the very top. But standing in his way to a second victory in the organization is the dangerous German Robert Lau, whose eleven victories all finished before the limit. The OKTAGON 93 tournament will erupt on September 12 at the Winning Group Arena in Brno.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/1365b708-1919-48cf-903b-f0e759d0b733/cs.1788890415308.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6df68509-04e6-4837-990d-095531c5f6db/cs.1788890419738.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>GLOVES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAGE</h2>In 2022, Garba defeated experienced Croatian veteran Goran Reljić on points, but a few months later he lost on points to Brazilian Bruce Souto and symbolically placed his gloves in the middle of the Oktagon cage, announcing his retirement. "I guess it was some kind of burnout, emotions... I needed to sort my life out a bit. It was poorly presented, I would probably call it a break instead," Garba explains today regarding his decision back then. The break did not last long. In May 2023, he returned and immediately defeated Zsolt Balla by technical knockout in the first round. "I rested, everything fell into place as it should, and I got hooked again," he describes the comeback.<h2>THREE LOSSES AND A NEW HOME IN POLAND</h2>However, the comeback was accompanied by a series of three consecutive losses. First, he lost on points to Michał Dreczkowski, then to Maciej Różański, and finally came a TKO from Alejandro Arcas. "It was a challenging period. I didn't have much fight pace, and even though I was working at 120% all the time, some detail was always missing. After the second loss, I changed a lot, pushed even harder, and even though everything looked great, the third loss came. That was a sporting tragedy for me. However, I kept working, got a chance in OKTAGON, and seized it. I believed the whole time that I would turn the streak around," Garba describes.Today, he trains at the Polish gym Berserkers Team Bielsko-Biała. "There are a lot of very high-quality guys in Berserkers, not only in my weight class, who also have great results. Here in Silesia, finding big guys who are comprehensive in MMA is simply a problem. I'm definitely not saying we don't have any here, they are just not in one place, and there are fewer of them than in Poland. In my eyes, MMA in Poland is something of a national sport, and that reflects on the quality of the training. I enjoy growing," Garba explains his move across the border.<h2>DREAM DEBUT UNDER THE YELLOW-AND-BLACK FLAG</h2>At the OKTAGON 87 tournament in Liberec this April, Garba defeated Mateusz Strzelczyk by technical knockout in the very first round, passing his debut in the organization with flying colors. "For me, it was a dream debut. I didn't doubt myself, I worked physically and mentally, and the fight showed me that I have what it takes. That the consistency paid off and that one must never give up. I take it as a reward for all the hard work, and I am grateful to OKTAGON for this opportunity," Garba looks back. Speaking without hesitation about where he wants to take his career in the organization: "I want to reach the top. I know the road is still long and thorny, but I am slowly getting there."<h2>FIREFIGHTER, SOLDIER, KNIGHT</h2>Outside the cage, Garba has long been associated with a uniform. He graduated from the University of Defence in Brno and worked for years as a professional soldier; today he works as a firefighter. "My typical day in preparation is a routine just like any fighter who is serious about it. In short, it's 2 training sessions a day, diet, recovery. Plus family on top of that. I manage the firefighter profession, and the preparation reflects positively on it. Thanks to it, I am physically in peak shape at work, which is a huge advantage and necessity. We do 24-hour shifts every third day and have time off in between. This regime suits me," Garba describes his routine. Thanks to his military past, he says he clarified his priorities.He has worn his nickname "Silesian Knight" for years, though he no longer remembers its exact origin. "I am from Silesia. Knight probably because I have always cared about a fair and honorable fight. I don't remember exactly how it came about." Before entering the cage, he sticks to one clear habit: "My habit is to go into the fight with the mindset of enjoying it. I don't really believe in rituals, but in some situations outside of fights, I am a bit superstitious."<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DbJWQ1TsQjp/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>GERMAN PREDATOR IN THE WAY</h2>Standing in Garba's way to his second OKTAGON victory is Robert Lau, who has built a reputation as a fierce finisher over a long career across the European scene. All eleven of his victories finished before the limit. Garba himself does not hide his respect for his opponent: "He is definitely a dangerous opponent, and I like to measure myself against such fighters. His strongest side will definitely be his hunger for victory and his desire to get through me into the light heavyweight rankings. He will definitely threaten mainly in the stand-up, so I will have to be on guard."To the fans heading to Brno, Garba sends a clear message: "I would like to thank every single person who comes to the venue to support us. I am grateful for it, and I can't wait for the atmosphere already. THANK YOU!"OKTAGON 93 will shake Brno's Winning Group Arena on September 12. Don't miss Garba's second start in the organization.

HE RETIRED YEARS AGO, NOW HE WANTS TO REACH THE VERY TOP: GARBA FACES ROBERT LAU IN BRNO

A clash of predatory youth and immense experience promises an earthquake in the cage. Frankfurt's monumental Deutsche Bank Park stadium will witness the ultimate test of generational talent Fedor Duric on September 26, as he aims to shine in front of nearly sixty thousand spectators. However, standing in his way is British threat Marc "Bonecrusher" Diakiese, who battled the world's elite for years and is now aiming for a successful promotional debut. Will Duric defend his home turf, or will the seasoned veteran cut short the German hopes?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/90710098-6796-4d4f-8510-d9bc92a4923d/cs.1788440990107.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c360d631-2108-49f2-8fb7-c62b4f99a538/cs.1788441002730.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>FEDOR DURIC: YOUNG BLOOD AND THE GERMAN HOPE</h2>For many fans, Duric is a great hope of the European MMA scene. Only twenty-two years old, Fedor Duric (9 - 1), a fighter of Balkan descent residing in Frankfurt, was practically destined for combat sports. His father, a massive MMA fan, named him after the legendary Fedor Emelianenko. And the young representative of the elite local gym MMA Spirit certainly does his name justice. Although he has solid roots in kickboxing, he has evolved into a well-rounded fighter with excellent grappling. He burst into the professional cage with unprecedented aggressiveness. Out of his nine victories, he finished four by submission and three by KO or TKO.He entered the yellow-and-black cage in December 2024 at OKTAGON 64. Taking the bout against Jan Stanovský on short notice, he secured a dominant decision debut. He has since earned three victories in the organization. His sole career loss was handed to him by Predrag Bogdanović at OKTAGON 69, where Duric was defeated in a close decision. Fedor delivered his most recent victory this February in Ostrava. He finished local fighter Tomáš Mudroch in the second round after some brutal ground and pound, securing third place in the lightweight rankings. Often described as a generational talent, he now faces the toughest test of his career so far on his home turf.<h2>MARC DIAKIESE: THE SEASONED VETERAN'S OKTAGON DEBUT</h2>On the other side stands a man who has traversed the global stage. Thirty-three-year-old Marc "Bonecrusher" Diakiese (18 - 8) had to fight hard for his path to the very top. As a boy, he emigrated from Congo to Doncaster, UK, where he overcame language barriers and searched for his own purpose. Combat sports saved him from trouble, and he soon demonstrated his undeniable potential. He didn't get his impressive moniker "Bonecrusher" by accident; in his early days, he literally broke his opponents. He became the BAMMA champion and earned a call-up to the UFC, where he spent seven long years and competed in fifteen matches. During his overseas campaign, among other things, he faced Drakkar Klos in the final of “The Ultimate Fighter 25. In the cage, he also measured forces with names like Rafael Fiziev or Dan Hooker.The British warrior is now heading to OKTAGON after stints in PFL and Bellator, planning to make his presence felt in the title picture. He even recently opened his own gym in Doncaster. He brings a wealth of experience from fighting the world's top talent to the cage. His style is an attractive blend of wrestling and dynamic striking, where he constantly threatens with dangerous kicks. Six of his eighteen victories came via devastating KOs. Now, he is heading to Frankfurt to claim the scalp of the rising talent.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZnOUa1lM4p/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>WILL THE FRANKFURT TALENT STOP THE SEASONED VETERAN?</h2>This matchup pits Diakiese, currently ranked 100th in the world lightweight rankings, against Duric, who sits at 227th. The clash promises a highly attractive battle of generations. While twenty-two-year-old Duric has ten professional bouts under his belt, Diakiese has completed twenty-six, facing the global elite. Can the Frankfurt talent master his biggest fight yet and maintain the pressure against a fighter whom no one could knock out during his entire UFC career? Or will the British heavy hitter utilize his experience to the fullest, withstand the hostile crowd's pressure, and break the roaring home favorite in front of tens of thousands of fans?The celebrations of ten years of the yellow-and-black colossus will culminate in Frankfurt. The OKTAGON 94 tournament will light up Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank Park on September 26, offering an unforgettable MMA festival for sixty thousand spectators. You cannot miss this opportunity!

LOCAL PHENOMENON'S TRIAL BY FIRE: DURIC FACES BONECRUSHER IN FRANKFURT

As a little boy, he fell asleep to the pulsing bass from the venue below his room. Instead of fairy tales, he listened to stories about a district where the rawest face of the metropolis hides right next to banking towers. More than thirty years later, he is one of Europe's most dangerous fighters. On September 26, Max „Mad“ Coga returns to Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank Park to challenge the indestructible Christian Jungwirth after a two-year hiatus. Read the story of a man who lives two different lives at once.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/4d46ce9f-bb95-4b9e-b9e1-c0e9ca90126a/cs.1788270888551.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c13e3405-0e5b-40a2-b69d-b98a3c515362/cs.1788270895124.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>CHILD OF THE RED-LIGHT DISTRICT</h2>Coga was born on June 24, 1989, into a family with a very specific legacy. His grandfather Hermann Gauß founded the legendary Frankfurt venue Pik Dame on Elbestraße in 1959. His father Oliver later took over the club along with his uncle Thorsten. The beginning of Max's story took place directly inside it. His mother Maria worked as a dancer in the club in her youth, so Coga grew up from childhood in an environment that most parents wouldn't want to show their children. „I saw naked skin early on. It was completely normal for me. Even as a child, I knew what was going on,“ he describes his unconventional childhood.It was his mother who, when he was six years old and after a school fight, signed him up for martial arts with a clear message: „I don't want a weakling for a son.“ Coga listened, and the discipline from training soon became a solid anchor for him in Frankfurt's Bahnhofsviertel, where drugs and crime met the world of business and hard work ethic daily.<h2>HOME AND CLUB UNDER ONE ROOF</h2>When the time came to take over the family business, Coga didn't want to choose between sports and business. He wanted both. Since June 2021, he has been running Pik Dame alongside his father and uncle, while living directly above the club with his brother and closest friends. „Anyone who wants privacy is in the completely wrong place here. It's an impulsive, crazy house. But the people who live here manage it,“ Coga describes his household.He summed up his double life by comparing himself to the comic book hero Batman. By day, he belongs to the elite of European MMA and holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu; after dark, however, he turns into the host of one of Frankfurt's most iconic venues. Throughout his career, his home has remained a single gym, Frankfurt's MMA Spirit, where he still trains alongside German star Christian Eckerlin.<h2>A JOURNEY ACROSS CONTINENTS</h2>Coga entered the professional cage in April 2011 and quickly built a reputation as a fierce finisher. Over a career spanning more than fifteen years, he has amassed a record of 27 wins, 8 losses, and 1 draw, finishing an incredible 23 of his 27 victories before the limit. He gradually collected titles in the Respect FC, Fair FC, Superior FC, and NFC organizations. „I decided to really leave a mark,“ Coga recalls.In 2018, he debuted under the banner of the American organization PFL directly in New York's Madison Square Garden, where he lost on points to Timur Valiev. Just six weeks later, however, he bounced back and TKO victory stopped former Bellator bantamweight champion Marcos Galvão. He then appeared in the German organization GMC, and at the end of 2020, he headed to Poland's KSW, where he lost a close decision on points in a hard-fought battle with Daniel Torres. In 2022, he added a stint in Bahrain's Brave CF before finally returning to fight at home for the first time in fifteen years. By winning the NFC lightweight title, he added a second belt to his featherweight title, becoming a long-awaited double champion.<h2>AN OKTAGON DEBUT THAT COST HIM TWO YEARS</h2>When OKTAGON was preparing the spectacular OKTAGON 62 event at the Frankfurt stadium in the autumn of 2024, the local Coga couldn't be missing from the card. He faced Antun Račić, a Croatian veteran whom he had already defeated eleven years prior. The rematch was even more decisive. Coga literally dismantled his opponent in the second round with a series of knees and punches, securing a TKO victory at 1:40 directly in front of his home crowd.But behind the dominance lay pain that nobody knew about. Coga had broken his right hand in the very first round. However, he told no one about the compound fracture and fought the match to the end. „I'm fine. I'm very happy. Nothing could have discouraged me from fighting to the bitter end,“ he said shortly after the win, before heading for emergency surgery the next day. Three more operations followed, including a bone transplant, along with long months of rehabilitation during which he practically had to learn how to fight again—this time with his leading left hand instead of his natural right. „I had to sharpen other weapons to be able to fight at this level again,“ Coga describes the transformation of his style.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ0k648MvJP/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>RETURN TO THE STADIUM</h2>After nearly two years outside the cage, Coga is not making a cautious return at OKTAGON 94. He is stepping straight into the welterweight division—one category higher than where he last competed in OKTAGON, and effectively two categories higher than where he won most of his championship belts. Standing in his way will be Christian 'The Kelt' Jungwirth, the Stuttgart warrior who earned his nickname for his legendary chin and endless cardio. He has long been ranked among the most durable and relentless fighters who never stop pushing forward in the cage.Coga speaks openly about what keeps driving him after so many years and injuries. „For me, MMA is pure fascination. Every fight is a puzzle with new challenges. Success comes through adaptation, courage, and finding solutions, just like in real life,“ he says. He is fully aware of the risks. „Every fight could be the last. That's why I will fight as if it were exactly this one. I will leave absolutely everything in the cage,“ adds the man who returns to the cage in the very place where he suffered the most severe injury of his career two years ago.Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank Park will once again transform on September 26 into the venue for one of the world's biggest MMA nights and will be the final stop of the spectacular celebrations of OKTAGON's tenth anniversary.

As a little boy, he fell asleep to the pulsing bass from the venue below his room. Instead of fairy tales, he listened to stories about a district where the rawest face of the metropolis hides right next to banking towers.

LORD OF THE NIGHT AND THE CAGE: MAD MAX COGA RETURNS

Don't expect a judges' decision here. Two machines who only know how to win by KO are heading into the cage. The historically first Czech BKFC champion, Josef „Berserker" Hála, is entering his second test under the special Stand &amp; Bang rules. On the other side, he is faced by Radovan Úškrt, a feared Slovak tough guy and organization veteran who has never won a fight in his career other than before the final bell. The OKTAGON 93 tournament will bring a ruthless war of two strikers to Brno's Winning Group Arena on September 12. Will the Slovak finisher stop the unstoppable Hála, or will the Czech phenomenon secure another victory in front of a roaring arena?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/ac358fb2-16f4-4946-bd83-5d0318503995/cs.1787832004943.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/0be88638-a854-412c-a7fc-78def4d6b49b/cs.1787832009384.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>JOSEF „BERSERKER" HÁLA: FROM THE STREETS TO THE EUROPEAN THRONE</h2>The thirty-one-year-old representative of SK Fightpro Strakonice was never your typical boy next door. With his signature phlegmatic perspective, he admits that the police used to bring him home regularly when he was a kid, and he ultimately channeled this street grit into a career in combat sports. He started in traditional boxing, where he racked up dozens of tough fights. He briefly tried his hand at amateur MMA, but injured knees prevented him from continuing. And so, he threw himself fully into bare-knuckle boxing.Hála took the emerging Czech bare-knuckle scene by storm and quickly became a terror in the domestic organization Valhalla Fighting. He crowned his run by winning the title and securing a legendary victory in the „Battle for the King of Čimelice“ against Martin Pavlíček. He finished all of his opponents inside the distance, and this sheer dominance opened doors for him worldwide, soon catching the attention of the prestigious Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). Following a dominant debut, he got his chance of a lifetime in October 2025. In Rome, he faced the local favorite, Francesco Ricchi, for the European middleweight championship belt. After four knockdowns, the fight ended in the third round via TKO. „It's home, we are bringing the belt to the Czech Republic,“ he announced to the nation back then, cementing his status as a phenomenon.He entered the OKTAGON cage for the first time this April at the OKTAGON 87 tournament in Liberec, where under Stand &amp; Bang rules he finished Tomáš Mudroch at 1:48 of the second round. A single appearance was all it took for fans to make Hála one of the most popular names in the entire organization. His relaxed and entertaining personality quickly turned him into a social media star.<h2>RADOVAN ÚŠKRT: SLOVAK VETERAN WITH GRENADES IN HIS HANDS</h2>Bratislava native Radovan Úškrt ranks among the seasoned veterans of OKTAGON, with a career that intertwines with the very beginnings of the organization. He made his professional debut back in February 2014, facing none other than Marvin Vettori, who would later become a UFC star. He gained wider popularity three years later as a participant in the second season of the reality show OKTAGON Výzva, where he knocked down Pavel Simandl in the quarterfinals and Pavel Salčák in the semifinals, before falling short in the finals against Samuel Krištofič. Outside of the cage, he is a passionate hunter and gun enthusiast.He has fought ten professional bouts in OKTAGON and currently holds a 7 - 5 record within the organization. He also participated in the million-euro Tipsport Gamechanger tournament, where he lost on points to Melvin van Suijdam. His record is unique: all nine of his career victories were delivered inside the distance via KO or TKO, eight of them in the very first round. In OKTAGON, he has suffered six losses, including defeats against Máté Kertész, Petr Kníže, or Daniel Schwindt.Following two defeats, he returned to winning ways this June in Bratislava, finishing Ondřej Raška in the first round with a left hook. He heads to Brno with his sights set on a milestone tenth career knockout. It was in Brno, at the OKTAGON 35 tournament, where he knocked down Denis Kurdinov at 1:12 of the first round.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DaLWweWsZr1/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>KO MACHINES IN THE CAGE</h2>Both men are strikers through and through, and both boast records made up solely of knockouts. A judges' decision simply isn't in their vocabulary. In Brno, they will face off under Stand &amp; Bang rules—meaning pure boxing in small gloves, scheduled for 3x3 minutes, with no elbows. In other words, there will be no waiting, circling, or playing it safe. This will be a battle where a single precise blow is all it takes. Which of these two tough guys will stay standing longer?OKTAGON returns to Brno, and you simply cannot miss it. Look forward to stars of the domestic scene, including Andrej Kalašnik, Vlado Lengál, or Radek Roušal, who will face former champion Jonas Mågård in the main event. OKTAGON 93 is set to electrify Brno's Winning Group Arena on September 12. You can buy tickets at the link below.<okteventcomponent eventid="136"></okteventcomponent>

A FIGHT WHERE YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO BLINK: HÁLA TO CLASH WITH ÚŠKRT IN BRNO

One is among the biggest European MMA legends; the other became a star literally overnight. Now, both will meet in the cage. Karlos Vémola and Frédéric Vosgröne are preparing for a high-stakes showdown where everything is on the line. How is their training camp going, and what is driving them as they head to the football stadium in Frankfurt? Find out in the first episode of Celebrity Series, available now on our YouTube channel!<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/9888bcd0-106b-4d02-a08e-c1eb7fe9bc27/cs.1787770756265.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/37410bd9-b434-40aa-8e45-ddda6eae6f43/cs.1787770763430.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>SHOCKING CHALLENGE ACCEPTED</h2>Karlos Vémola has been traveling from tournament to tournament as a commentator essentially since retiring from professional competition. However, at OKTAGON 90 in Cologne, he was reminded of what it feels like to stand in the cage face-to-face with an opponent. Frédéric Vosgröne challenged him during a break, and the Czech "Terminator" decided to accept the challenge from the German phenomenon.The age gap between the two fighters is a staggering 11 years, while the difference in their number of professional bouts stands at 42. That isn't just an interesting statistic—it's a statement. Vémola turned professional in 2008, an era when Spotify was just being founded, the iPhone 3G had just hit the market, and the world was navigating a global financial crisis.By contrast, "The Neanderthal" Vosgröne is a phenomenon of the modern era. An accomplished and decorated grappler, he decided to transition to MMA just two years ago. However, he truly burst onto the scene last April at OKTAGON 69 in Dortmund when he submitted Jorick Montagnac. His star skyrocketed overnight, instantly making him one of the most followed domestic fighters.<h2>PREPARATION IS IN FULL SWING</h2>With exactly one month remaining until fight night, training camp for both fighters is reaching its peak. After years of competing, Vémola knows precisely how he needs to prepare. He is touring multiple gyms across the Czech Republic, taking the absolute best from each. Despite his age and extended layoff, he looks in incredible shape, proving once again that his willpower and work ethic are second to none.Vosgröne has headed to the renowned Ilbay Sport Gym under head coach Garip Ilbay to fine-tune his striking—the discipline where the long-time grappler has the most ground to make up. However, Vémola isn't known for his stand-up game either. Both fighters rely heavily on their grappling, making it all the more intriguing to see who will be able to impose their will inside the cage.The first episode of Celebrity Series is out now on our YouTube channel. Watch Episode 1 for an insider look at both fighters' preparation and get ready for one of the biggest fights of the year!<oktyoutubecomponent url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBTZHTlSeYA"></oktyoutubecomponent>
