<p>Německu už jednoho českého protivníka vyřídil a teď se chystá na další tuzemské jméno. Talentovaný Wahed Nazhand je jedním ze zápasníků, kteří jsou příkladem hesla „V každém z nás je bojovník“ a inspiruje nejen svými sportovními výkony. Pojď si o vůbec prvním afghánském zápasníkovi v kleci OKTAGONU přečíst více!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e12d3a82-0d67-4262-b82a-d094b8ed2ef5/cs.1724677618973.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e30c93bc-c257-4fb6-b763-67fc1deb2241/cs.1724677630644.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>PÁS ŠAMPIONA MU ZMĚNIL ŽIVOT</h2><p>Když Wahed Nazhand vstoupil do naší klece, nebyl v bojových sportech rozhodně žádným nováčkem. Jeho kariéra začala už v Afghánistánu, kde se stal šampionem organizace SLFC. Tento úspěch mu tehdy přinesl pořádné uznání i slávu – fanoušci ho začali poznávat na ulici i sledovat na sociálních sítích. Právě tam ale měla jeho sláva i stinnou stránku – vedle obdivu se často začaly objevovat i výhrůžky.</p><h2>NA ÚTĚKU</h2><p>V roce 2021 se v Afghánistánu zásadně změnila situace, když moc převzal Taliban. Pro Nazhanda to znamenalo jediné – musel uprchnout. Opustit rodnou zemi nebylo jednoduché, ale Wahed nakonec našel nový domov v německém Hamburku. I přes všechny útrapy však nikdy nezapomněl na své kořeny. Při každém nástupu do klece hrdě třímá afghánskou vlajku a reprezentuje svou zemi, na kterou nezanevřel, přestože ho nový režim donutil ji opustit.</p><h2>SKROMNÉ ZAČÁTKY</h2><p>Vždy snil o tom, že se stane bojovníkem. Už v dětství obdivoval hrdiny z plakátů a přál si být jako oni, až bude dospělý. K jeho snu ale nevedla snadná cesta. Než se stal šampionem, živil se jako knihkupec a vydělával si v přepočtu na eura pouhých 63 centů denně. Přesto nikdy nepřestal trénovat a věřit, že jednoho dne prorazí.</p><p>Jeho první zápas v roce 2015 se pak odehrál ve velmi skromných podmínkách – v temné a špinavé místnosti, kde voda z netěsnícího potrubí kapala přímo do klece. Svůj první zápas ale vyhrál a začal psát svou cestu bojovníka.</p><h2>INSTAGRAMOVÝ BRONZ</h2><p>Dnes je Wahed Nazhand třetím nejsledovanějším bojovníkem v OKTAGONU na Instagramu, kde ho sleduje téměř půl milionu fanoušků. To je důkazem jeho obrovské popularity nejen mezi Afghánci. Předběhli ho už jen Mach Muradov a Hatef Moeil.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C--ECHHszds/?hl=cs&amp;img_index=1"></oktinstagramcomponent><p><strong>Sleduj další cestu nadaného zápasníka!

DRSNÁ CESTA BOJOVNÍKA NAZHANDA. ČÍM SI PROŠEL? 

<p>Ten years of dreams, stories, and unforgettable cage wars culminated in a night that will go down in European MMA history. The fighters delivered exactly what the card promised: seven finishes out of ten fights, six of them in the very first round! David Kozma choked out the King of Germany, Christian Eckerlin, two seconds before the horn; the legendary "Terminator" Karlos Vémola dominated his grand return; and Max Coga alongside Christian Jungwirth unleashed a heart-pounding 330-strike brawl. All before nearly 60,000 fans at Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank Park celebrating OKTAGON's 10-year anniversary. Who else etched their name into the history of this magical stadium night?</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/94e093d5-a149-4e3f-965f-fe6fffae8745/cs.1790532730081.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/d3eb03bb-5c7b-441e-a161-481f889d1bb5/cs.1790532743386.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>CHRISTIAN ECKERLIN VS. DAVID KOZMA</h2><p>The highly anticipated clash between the King of Germany and OKTAGON's longest-reigning champion has its resolution. David Kozma waited for nothing and shot for a takedown after just one minute of the first round, successfully taking the fight to the canvas. The Czech phenomenon entered his kingdom and comfortably controlled the round. Christian Eckerlin searched in vain for a way out of the disadvantageous position back to his feet. Everything indicated the home fighter would survive the pressure, but with a few seconds left on the clock, he made a fatal error and gave up his back. "Pink Panther" punished this opportunity instantly and locked in a rear-naked choke, securing it just two seconds before the end of the opening round. David Kozma silenced the entire arena on hostile territory and celebrates a massive victory in front of 60,000 spectators!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1406"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MAX COGA VS. CHRISTIAN JUNGWIRTH</h2><p>The closely watched showdown started with cautious range-finding, but Max Coga soon took the initiative. About a minute and a half in, he landed a precise jab that sent Christian Jungwirth to the canvas. "The Kelt", however, managed to scramble back to his feet and began heavily leg-kicking his opponent's lead leg. In the second frame, Coga picked up the pace immensely, applying immense pressure and pouring on a barrage of strikes. The fight turned into an absolute firefight in the center of the cage as both warriors threw caution to the wind. They began exchanging salvos, combining for a staggering 330 strikes thrown! The insane battle reached a fever pitch in the final five minutes. Jungwirth pressed the local hero against the fence, but Coga countered dangerously with a uppercut before the end. After three rounds of this heart-stopping war, Max Coga secures the decision victory and celebrates an unforgettable win in front of a roaring crowd. The bout also earned a €10,000 XTB Fight of the Night bonus.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1439"></oktfightcomponent><h2>FREDERIC VOSGRÖNE VS. KARLOS VÉMOLA</h2><p>The legendary "Terminator" is back, celebrating his return to the cage in grand style! Karlos Vémola kept his foot on the gas from the opening seconds, giving his opponent virtually no room to breathe. Right at the start, he landed a successful takedown and brought the battle to the ground. From there, he effortlessly established a dominant position and controlled almost the entire first round with relentless ground-and-pound. The second round followed a similar script. Most of the action unfolded against the fence, where the Czech star pressed forward and rained down a barrage of strikes. Frederic Vosgröne resisted bravely for a long time, but the veteran's offensive pressure was unstoppable. In the closing seconds of round two, Vémola finally broke the undefeated grappler's resistance, capping a dominant performance with a spectacular TKO win that also earned him the Tipsport Performance of the Night bonus.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1478"></oktfightcomponent><h2>FEDOR DURIC VS. MARC DIAKIESE</h2><p>The biggest test yet for the local prospect. Marc Diakiese shot for a takedown almost immediately and took the fight to the ground. The experienced British veteran threatened with an arm-triangle choke, but Fedor Duric showed fantastic defense. He managed to reverse the dangerous position, landed on top, and even took his opponent's back multiple times, securing the opening round on the scorecards. The second stanza took place mostly on the feet, where the young fighter was sharper and pushed his opponent against the fence. The second round went to Duric as well. In the final five minutes, Diakiese defended takedowns well and tried to take control, but Duric smartly tied him up in the clinch and remained crisp in striking exchanges. With thirty seconds remaining, the home fighter secured a final takedown to seal his triumph. After a brilliant tactical performance, Fedor Duric celebrates a decision victory in front of his home crowd, earning the most valuable win of his career.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1462"></oktfightcomponent><h2>EDMON AVAGYAN VS. DOMINIC SCHOBER</h2><p>The highly anticipated debut of the popular influencer under Stand and Bang rules turned into a wild firefight from the opening seconds. Both fighters stormed out at a frantic pace, launching high-octane exchanges on the feet. However, Edmon "Ringlife" Avagyan quickly began taking control. Halfway through the opening round, he landed a combination that sent Dominic Schober into his first count. The Austrian veteran struggled to find an answer to his aggressive opponent and soon swallowed another heavy combination for a second knockdown. With thirty seconds left in the first round, the home powerhouse finished the job. He unleashed a final salvo of strikes, sending his hurt opponent into a third count, prompting the referee to stop the fight. Edmon Avagyan celebrates an incredible TKO victory. Stepping out from behind the microphone, he proved his high skill level and secured a fantastic win in front of an electrified crowd!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1487"></oktfightcomponent><p><strong>PRELIMS</strong></p><h2>HUGO VACH VS. DENIZ ILBAY</h2><p>A clash of old-school toughness against striking precision started with a cautious feeling-out process. Two minutes in, Deniz Ilbay found his rhythm and began finding his target with precision. The seasoned striker then delivered a brutal combination that dropped Hugo Vach to the canvas, making a quick finish seem inevitable. Although the hurt fighter managed to scramble back to his feet, it was only the beginning of the end. Ilbay immediately unleashed another devastating strike, putting "Tarzan" out cold with a clean KO. Following this fierce performance, the German striker secures an extremely valuable victory and celebrates his third finish in stadium events.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1481"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAIME CORDERO VS. ROBERT PUKAČ</h2><p>The anticipated clash kicked off without hesitation. Both fighters gave no quarter from the opening seconds, engaging in fierce exchanges on the feet. About two minutes in, Slovak veteran Robert Pukač shot for a takedown, but Jaime Cordero displayed stellar defense and scrambled back to his feet instantly. The action returned to striking exchanges, with heavy hands flying from both sides. Pukač countered dangerously, but the German striker gradually took control of the fight. With one minute left in the opening frame, Cordero showcased his power. He unleashed a crisp punch that sent his dazed opponent to the canvas, forcing the referee to intervene. Jaime Cordero celebrates a huge TKO victory after a phenomenal performance, earning a valuable win in this heated personal feud.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1486"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TAMERLAN DULATOV VS. NIKOLA JANKOVIĆ</h2><p>The clash between two feared finishers kicked off without any feeling-out period. Nikola Janković closed the distance immediately, tying up his opponent in the clinch and pressing him against the fence. After about a minute of grappling, the Croatian fighter secured a successful takedown. However, Tamerlan Dulatov capitalized brilliantly on the seemingly disadvantageous position. From his back, he locked up a textbook arm-triangle choke and quickly forced the tap. Tamerlan Dulatov confirmed his status as a huge favorite in the cage, adding another quick finish to his record and continuing his professional run with a flawless 6-0 score.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1506"></oktfightcomponent><h2>RAUL LEMBERANSKIJ VS. ROMAN PAULUS</h2><p>The matchup between the undefeated home prospect and the experienced Slovak veteran started with striking on the outside, where Raul Lemberanskij soon took control and dictated the pace. The German fighter landed precise kicks and punches, and although Roman Paulus countered, he fell behind on points against his noticeably faster opponent. In the final seconds of the first round, the local fighter scored a takedown to lock up the round. In the second frame, the Frankfurt patriot maintained a high work rate, opening up with crisp combinations. Halfway through the round, he pressed his Slovak rival against the fence, maintaining full control and denying him any offensive rhythm. The final round brought no sudden turnarounds. Lemberanskij managed the fight with complete composure, utilizing his speed, activity, and precision to earn a well-deserved decision victory in front of a cheering crowd, adding another valuable win to his unbeaten record!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1485"></oktfightcomponent><p><strong>FREE PRELIMS</strong></p><h2>MICHAEL OBODOZIE VS. OSKAR STASZCZAK</h2><p>German prospect Michael Obodozie stormed into the cage with immense aggression, displaying his talent right away. From the opening bell, he landed clean strikes. Then came an unprecedented moment: after a heavy hook, the Polish fighter went down. Obodozie, convinced he had won, began celebrating prematurely by leaping onto the fence. However, the referee had not stopped the fight, forcing the home striker to hurry back into action. He gave Staszczak no room to recover, launching another relentless combination that forced the referee to step in. Michael Obodozie secures a fantastic TKO victory just one minute into the first round.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1482"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>The grand celebration of OKTAGON MMA's ten-year anniversary is successfully behind us, but the yellow-and-black juggernaut keeps rolling!

OKTAGON 94 RESULTS: TENTH ANNIVERSARY PACKED WITH FINISHES, KOZMA STUNS GERMANY

<p><span>Nearly 60,000 fans, one football stadium, and a night no one will forget. The yellow-and-black colossus returns to where it rewrote MMA history two years ago, bringing a card packed with big returns, sharp challenges, and hungry talents. The "King of Germany" faces OKTAGON’s longest-reigning champion, a legend steps out of retirement, a Frankfurt idol returns to the cage after two years, and local prospects face the toughest tests of their careers. OKTAGON 94 on Saturday, September 26, at Deutsche Bank Park will culminate ten years of the organization’s celebrations. Check out the complete fight card fight by fight.</span></p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/cbee884e-f981-4739-9b9a-bfe610c353a1/cs.1790342012266.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/65df4351-7a41-4d0d-b932-6460dbe7c306/cs.1790342051286.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>CHRISTIAN ECKERLIN VS. DAVID KOZMA</h2><p><span>The main event of the evening and a national battle between Germany and the Czech Republic. The ruler of Frankfurt and the biggest star of German MMA, <strong>Christian Eckerlin (18-8)</strong>, returns to the site of his greatest triumph. It was right here, in front of a record-breaking 59,148 fans, that he was crowned King of Germany. After losses to Pukač and Trušček, he went through the toughest period of his career, but in March he returned to winning ways with a victory over Kohout. Opposite him stands former six-time OKTAGON champion <strong>David "Pink Panther" Kozma (34-15)</strong>, who ruled the welterweight division for a record 1,477 days. After victories over Wittner and Zawada, he called out Eckerlin himself, and in his milestone 50th professional fight, he will enter the cauldron of tens of thousands of German fans. Will Eckerlin defend his kingdom, or will Kozma silence all of Frankfurt?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1406"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MAX COGA VS. CHRISTIAN JUNGWIRTH</h2><p><span>Frankfurt's second king returns home. <strong>Max "Mad" Coga (27-8-1)</strong>, former champion of NFC, EFC, and Superior FC with experience in PFL, KSW, or Brave, last fought at this very stadium. He finished Račić back then with a broken hand, but the injury sidelined him for two years and briefly looked like it might end his career. Now he returns after the longest layoff of his career, moving up two weight classes, and facing an opponent he called out himself. <strong>Christian "The Kelt" Jungwirth (16-9)</strong> defeated Pukač as well as UFC veteran Stolze, and fought a war for the title of King of Germany against Eckerlin at Deutsche Bank Park. After an April loss to Materla, he needs a win and stated he can handle "Eckerlin's little brother" too. He already has a rematch with Eckerlin on his mind. Will Coga hold up after two years away from the cage?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1439"></oktfightcomponent><h2>FREDERIC VOSGRÖNE VS. KARLOS VÉMOLA</h2><p><span>A legend against a new phenomenon. <strong>Frederic "Neanderthal" Vosgröne (5-0)</strong>, BJJ black belt and No-Gi World Championship medalist, finished all five of his professional opponents by submission. He also became the first in history to submit Jorick Montagnac. After signing a new long-term contract, he called out <strong>Karlos "The Terminator" Vémola (38-9)</strong> in Cologne. The first Czech in the UFC and former OKTAGON champion in middleweight and light heavyweight hung up his gloves after winning the trilogy against Attila Végh, but he never turns down a challenge. After about fifteen months, he returns against a man who started his pro career 13 years after him. Can Vémola stop the undefeated grappler, or will the Neanderthal write the most famous chapter of his career?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1478"></oktfightcomponent><h2>FEDOR DURIC VS. MARC DIAKIESE</h2><p><span>The biggest test for Frankfurt’s talent. Twenty-two-year-old <strong>Fedor Duric (10-1)</strong> holds third place in the lightweight rankings and has never been finished in his career. The MMA Spirit product recently stopped Tomáš Mudroch via TKO in Ostrava, snapping his six-fight win streak. However, the first fight of his new contract brings a completely different level. <strong>Marc "Bonecrusher" Diakiese (18-8)</strong> is a former BAMMA champion with fifteen fights in the UFC and experience in Bellator and PFL, having shared the cage with names like Fiziev, Hooker, or Joel Álvarez. Returning after seventeen months, his goal is clear: knock on the door of a title fight in his debut. Will Duric turn his potential into a world-class scalp, or will the Brit teach him a harsh lesson?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1462"></oktfightcomponent><h2>EDMON AVAGYAN VS. DOMINIC SCHOBER</h2><p><span>From the microphone straight into the cage. <strong>Edmon "Ringlife" Avagyan (1-0 in pro boxing)</strong> is one of the most influential voices in the German combat sports scene, runs his own promotion, and spent years analyzing other fighters' bouts on his channel. In May, he won his professional boxing debut in Mannheim by TKO and asked for a real professional for his OKTAGON debut. He got <strong>Dominic "The Dom" Schober (16-15)</strong>, an Austrian veteran who has fought across fourteen organizations and finished twelve of his wins in the first round. Christian Jungwirth's training partner is still searching for his first victory in OKTAGON. The fight will take place under Stand &amp; Bang rules: small gloves only, boxing and elbows, no kicks, takedowns, or ground fighting. Can the influencer handle his baptism by fire, or will the Austrian send him back behind the microphone?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1487"></oktfightcomponent><p><strong>PRELIMS</strong></p><h2>HUGO VACH VS. DENIZ ILBAY</h2><p><span>A clash of two German strikers in the featherweight division. <strong>Hugo "German Tarzan" Vach (8-1)</strong> has a clean 3-0 record in OKTAGON and rides a five-fight win streak, most recently knocking out Teo Smith in the first round in Hannover. The Fightschool Hannover fighter honed his skills alongside Alexander Volkanovski at City Kickboxing in New Zealand. Facing him is <strong>Deniz "El Pistolero" Ilbay (9-3)</strong>, a former boxing champion who finished Lengál, Novák, Tripšanský, and Deiga-Scheck in OKTAGON. The duel also has a personal element: Vach helped Max Holzer prepare for his fight against Ilbay, where Ilbay lost, and Pistolero now has a chance to settle scores with another fighter from the Hannover stable. Will Vach pass the biggest test of his career, or will Ilbay unholster his gun once again?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1481"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAIME CORDERO VS. ROBERT PUKAČ</h2><p><span>A challenge that set social media on fire. <strong>Robert "Prince of Bratislava" Pukač (21-14-1)</strong> dominantly outpointed the undefeated Brian Manning in Bratislava in June and immediately called out <strong>Jaime Cordero (10-2)</strong>. The Slovak veteran holds victories over both main event fighters, Kozma and Eckerlin, and enters Frankfurt with three times as many pro fights as his opponent. However, German OKTAGON Challenge alumnus Cordero has been undefeated since 2023, riding a five-fight winning streak and standing as one of the division's biggest KO artists. He needed just 22 seconds and a high kick against Török, and finished Krištofič in the first round in his last outing. The winner solidifies their place in the middleweight top ten. Will Pukač silence the German audience once again, or will the Prince lay down before Cordero?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1486"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TAMERLAN DULATOV VS. NIKOLA JANKOVIĆ</h2><p><span>Second attempt. This matchup was originally scheduled for July in Cologne, but <strong>Tamerlan "Most Wanted" Dulatov (5-0)</strong> had to pull out on fight day due to health issues. The brother of UFC fighter Islam Dulatov won all five of his professional fights in the first round and has never seen a second round. In OKTAGON, he also holds the record for the fastest submission in organization history—a guillotine choke in 16 seconds. <strong>Nikola Janković (9-2)</strong>, however, is not going to Frankfurt to lose. The 21-year-old Croatian champion finished all nine of his wins before the distance, with only one extending past the first round. Which finisher will strike first?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1506"></oktfightcomponent><h2>RAUL LEMBERANSKIJ VS. ROMAN PAULUS</h2><p><span>An undefeated local prospect against one of the bantamweight division's most experienced fighters. <strong>Raul Lemberanskij (9-0)</strong> from Frankfurt's MMA Spirit first attended OKTAGON as a spectator. Now he enters his city's stadium as the number four ranked bantamweight. Most recently in Hamburg, he turned the fight around against the undefeated Ali Gündüz to claim his ninth straight win. However, <strong>Roman Paulus (13-6)</strong> requested this fight. The winner of the fifth season of OKTAGON Challenge handed Harun Kurt his first career loss in August at Štvanice and called out Lemberanskij right in the cage. The 26-year-old Slovak already has 19 professional fights under his belt and is among the rare fighters to win across three different divisions in OKTAGON. Will Lemberanskij secure his tenth victory, or will Paulus hand him his first defeat?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1485"></oktfightcomponent><p><strong>FREE PRELIMS</strong></p><h2>MICHAEL OBODOZIE VS. OSKAR STASZCZAK</h2><p><span>The Frankfurt night kicks off with a clash of two undefeated welterweights. <strong>Michael Obodozie (1-0)</strong> made history as the first-ever amateur in the OKTAGON cage, knocking out his opponent in 19 seconds. His professional debut in Hamburg finished in 1:53, meaning he has spent a total of just 2 minutes and 12 seconds in the cage. Now, his second pro fight takes place in a stadium before tens of thousands. Standing opposite him is <strong>Oskar Staszczak (5-0)</strong>, one of Poland's most exciting prospects, managed by former UFC champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk. A Muay Thai World Championship medalist, he finished four of his five opponents before the bell and outpointed Adam Havran in his OKTAGON debut in February. Will Obodozie's lightning ride continue, or will the Pole drag him into a deep war?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1482"></oktfightcomponent><p><span><strong>The yellow-and-black colossus returns to where it rewrote MMA history.

He eventually swapped football for MMA, in which he has accumulated 27 fights since his professional debut. Yet he still returned to the football pitch. His grappling know-how was later requested by Brighton of the English Premier League. He advised footballers on how not to get lost in physical battles in the penalty box. In the cage, he won five times in 90 seconds or less and has already written history in Frankfurt once. His victory over Denilson Neves at OKTAGON 33 was overturned by the German commission due to a first-round foul into the very first No Contest in OKTAGON history.</span></p><p><span>Facing the "King of Germany" will be <strong>David "Pink Panther" Kozma (34-15)</strong>, for whom Frankfurt won't be just another away trip. He faces his jubilee 50th professional fight. The longest-reigning champion in OKTAGON history, who held the welterweight belt for 1,477 days, is also the organization's record holder for takedowns (56). He has carried the nickname since childhood, when he liked wearing pink. He has stayed faithful to it to this day, dyeing his head pink for fights and entering in pink shorts.</span></p><p><span><strong>Christian "Kelt" Jungwirth (16-9)</strong> also has a football background. The fighter from Stuttgart used to be a promising footballer, playing as a utility player and stepping into goal when needed. He got into combat sports by chance, through a gym where boxing took place on Sundays. He knows Deutsche Bank Park very well. He featured there in the main event right against Eckerlin in front of a record 59,148 spectators. Now he returns to the stadium and once again faces a local Frankfurt star. This time, Max Coga stands in his way. Fans love Jungwirth for unforgettable fights. His war with Bojan Veličković won Fight of the Year 2023, and his battle with Stolz earned Comeback of the Year 2025. His legendary fight with Miroslav Brož is also worth mentioning.</span></p><h2>DOUBLE LIVES: NIGHTCLUB, RUNWAY, AND MICROPHONE</h2><p><span><strong>Max "Mad Max" Coga (27-8-1)</strong> compares himself to Batman. By day he trains, after dark he runs the Pik Dame nightclub in Frankfurt's Bahnhofsviertel district, founded by his grandfather in 1959. And he lives directly above it. "Anyone looking for privacy here is in the wrong place," he says with a smile. In 36 professional fights, no one has ever forced him to tap out.</span></p><p><span><strong>Tamerlan Dulatov (5-0)</strong> made his mark on the fashion runways of luxury brands, just like his brothers. One of them, Islam, now fights in the UFC. But in the cage, Tamerlan plays no poses. His 16-second guillotine is the fastest submission in OKTAGON history. However, his opponent <strong>Nikola Janković (9-2)</strong> can be even faster, achieving his shortest win in 12 seconds.</span></p><p><span><strong>Edmon "Ringlife" Avagyan (1-0 in boxing)</strong> guarded nightclub doors for years, just as Vémola once did in London's Tottenham. Then he started a YouTube channel that grew into Germany's most famous combat sports brand. Today he owns a boxing and bare-knuckle promotion company. But in Frankfurt, he drops the microphone and puts on the gloves. Under Stand &amp; Bang rules, he faces former strongman <strong>Dominic Schober (16-15)</strong>, who competed in fourteen organizations during his career.</span></p><h2>FROM LIONS TO THE CAGE</h2><p><span><strong>Karlos "Terminator" Vémola (38-9)</strong> and <strong>Frederic "Neanderthal" Vosgröne (5-0)</strong> were training together and feeding lions in Vémoland until recently. Now they meet in the cage, bringing a massive army with them. On Instagram, they are followed by nearly 1.1 million people combined. Vosgröne had fewer than ten thousand followers before joining OKTAGON; his viral debut catapulted him to over 650,000. The nickname is no coincidence. He lives in Mettmann, a few kilometers from the Neandertal valley where the first Neanderthal remains were found. But a friend came up with it mainly because of his appearance. His massive build and strong features fit so well that "Neanderthal" likes to make fun of it himself.</span></p><p><span>Vémola started competing professionally thirteen years earlier and has 47 fights behind him, Vosgröne five. But Vosgröne finished all five by submission and took home the Performance of the Night bonus in his very first appearance in the organization. Terminator, on the other hand, holds the fastest finish in the organization's history, stopping Pavol Langer by KO in seven seconds. Furthermore, he is the only one in OKTAGON to win via north-south choke.</span></p><h2>YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT THIS YET</h2><ul><li><p><span>Slovak veteran <strong>Robo Pukač</strong> has defeated both headliners, Eckerlin and Kozma, in the past.</span></p></li><li><p><span>Polish talent <strong>Oskar Staszczak (5-0)</strong> is a passionate chess player, and his career is managed by former UFC champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk.</span></p></li><li><p><span>Undefeated <strong>Raul Lemberanskij (9-0)</strong> first appeared at OKTAGON at event number 36. Back then, just as a spectator.</span></p></li><li><p><span><strong>Michael Obodozie (1-0)</strong> won the very first amateur fight in OKTAGON history.</span></p></li><li><p><span><strong>Deniz Ilbay (9-3)</strong> is the only one to win at both stadium events in 2024, in Prague's Eden and at Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank Park. In Frankfurt, he will record his third stadium start, just like Karlos Vémola.</span></p></li><li><p><span>When <strong>Fedor Duric (10-1)</strong> started his pro career, his opponent <strong>Marc Diakiese (18-8)</strong> already had a 14-4 record and the BAMMA belt. In the UFC, he later faced the likes of Fiziev, Hooker, or Michael Johnson.</span></p></li><li><p><span><strong>Hugo Vach (8-1)</strong> has never won or lost by submission.</span></p></li><li><p><span>Four fighters on the card already know Deutsche Bank Park from inside the cage: <strong>Eckerlin, Coga, Ilbay, and Jungwirth</strong>.</span></p></li></ul><p><span><strong>Frankfurt will once again transform into Europe's biggest MMA arena.

Opponents who fed lions together. A nightclub owner living above the dance floor, or a YouTuber who comments on other people's fights. OKTAGON's 10th anniversary celebrations will culminate on September 26 at Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank Park.

FUNFACTS FROM FRANKFURT: BATMAN FROM A NIGHTCLUB, CHESS PLAYER, AND FASTEST SUBMISSION

<p><span>As a young boy, he fled war across the burning Caucasus with his brothers. A few years later, he stood on catwalks next to world-renowned models, while in the cage sending his opponents to the ground. Tamerlan "Most Wanted" Dulatov returns to the cage on September 26 at OKTAGON 94 in Frankfurt. Facing him will be Croatian finisher Nikola Janković, who will try to be the first to stop a man who has not yet allowed any opponent to take a fight into the second round. Read how a boy fleeing war became a model and an undefeated fighter.</span></p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/9b8fe25d-db8e-4e50-a296-edd8d789671b/cs.1790081406707.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/d963398b-590e-4d4f-a38b-72afc6647b79/cs.1790081412531.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>THE BOY WHO FLED WAR</h2><p><span>The path that brought Dulatov into the cage began in a harsh environment. He was born in Urus-Martan, Chechnya, in 2000, in the middle of the Second Chechen War. <strong>Tamerlan repeatedly moved with his parents and three brothers to escape the fighting.</strong> There was no time or peace for regular schooling. Instead of sitting at desks, the boys spent their days outside, working out with bodyweight exercises, and earning extra money by unloading trucks. In December 2007, when Tamerlan was only seven years old, the family left the war-torn Caucasus and found refuge in Düsseldorf. <strong>The new country was not welcoming at first</strong>. "It was a tough start. We arrived as refugees," Dulatov recalls today. Without knowing the language and carrying the stigma of being an immigrant, the brothers had to fight for their place on the streets, and not always legally. "I was in prison many times because of street fights. And that's why it took me so long to turn professional," he admits openly today. He connects it with his Chechen upbringing: "We grew up fighting, everyone taught us to be a man. A man must know how to fight, a man must protect his family." Today, his relationship with his new home is completely different. "Today I meet Germans on the street and they tell me: you make us happy, you bring honor to our country," he adds proudly.</span></p><h2>THE LONG ROAD TO THE PROFESSIONAL CAGE</h2><p><span>Before he first encountered MMA, Dulatov went through a solid school of combat sports. He started with boxing, competing in over fifteen amateur bouts. Gradually, he added kickboxing. After years in the ring, he transitioned to MMA, and his very first amateur fight indicated that he possessed more than just heavy hands. In September 2018 at Integra FC 10, <strong>he defeated Jan Roth by choke in the second round</strong>, showing that despite his striking roots, he knew how to finish a fight on the ground. He turned professional five years later, in October 2023, when at Sparta CF 3 he knocked down Dimitrije Ninić via TKO in the first round. It is precisely <strong>the combination of boxing, kickboxing, and grappling experience</strong> that makes him such a dangerous fighter today. Combat sports were not his solo pursuit. <strong>His three brothers, Djibril, Sulumbek, and Islam (who now fights in the UFC), share the same passion.</strong></span></p><h2>IN OKTAGON HE DOES NOT KNOW SECOND ROUNDS</h2><p><span>Under the yellow-and-black flag, Dulatov fully confirmed that he is among the organization's most dangerous finishers. His record speaks clearly. <strong>Five professional fights, five wins, all before the distance</strong>, and <strong>he has never seen a second round</strong>. His debut at OKTAGON 66 in Düsseldorf ended with a <strong>guillotine choke in 16 seconds, making him the holder of the fastest submission win in the organization.</strong> A few months later at OKTAGON 78, he sent Brazilian Henrique Melo to the ground via TKO in just 52 seconds. At OKTAGON 82, he broke the arm of previously undefeated Serb Stefan Končar with an armbar. For that performance, he earned his BJJ brown belt from his coaches. He trains at Düsseldorf's Triple One Gym, where he regularly meets his brother Islam. <strong>Last year, Tamerlan also included training with British star Michael "Venom" Page in his preparation.</strong></span></p><h2>FOUR BROTHERS, TWO WORLDS</h2><p><span>The cage was not the only stage where the Dulatov brothers gained fame. The eldest brother Djibril was approached by a casting agency while shopping in Düsseldorf, and that chance encounter quickly turned into a campaign for the luxury brand Lanvin. <strong>Following their older brother into the fashion world came Sulumbek, Islam, and Tamerlan.</strong> Islam eventually became the main face of Versace, and British Vogue named him one of the world's top ten most sought-after male models in 2018, while the rest of the family posed for brands such as Armani, Gucci, or Diesel. The four brothers also do business together outside the cage and fashion runways. In Düsseldorf, they own a barbershop and bar, and would like to open <strong>their own gym where children from immigrant families could train for free</strong>, just as they once were.</span></p><h2>A FIGHT THAT ALREADY FAILED TO HAPPEN ONCE</h2><p><span>Now another big test awaits Tamerlan in Frankfurt in the form of a fighter who knows how to finish fights just as fast as he does. Twenty-one-year-old <strong>Croat Nikola Janković (9-2)</strong> arrives in Frankfurt with a reputation as a dangerous finisher. <strong>Six of his wins came via KO/TKO, three via submission, and the fastest of them took just twelve seconds.</strong> Two fighters who are not used to relying on judges will meet in the cage. He was originally scheduled to face Janković back in July at OKTAGON 91 in Cologne, but health issues stopped him just hours before the start and the fight was canceled. <strong>Now the postponed battle is finally happening.</strong> Will Janković be the first to stop the man who has not let anyone past the first round in his professional career?</span></p><p><span><strong>OKTAGON 94 will turn Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank Park into the final stop of the yellow-and-black colossus's tenth anniversary on September 26. Alongside the main event between Christian Eckerlin and David Kozma or the return of Karlos Vémola, Tamerlan Dulatov will be one of the men aiming to make the historic night his own.

FROM ESCAPING A WAR ZONE TO RUNWAY AND CAGE: THE STORY OF TAMERLAN DULATOV

<p><span>A clash where two different worlds collide. Popular combat sports content creator Edmon Avagyan swaps his microphone for small gloves in Frankfurt. In a fight under Stand &amp; Bang rules, seasoned Dominic Schober, a dangerous brawler with fifteen years of professional experience, stands in his way. The highly anticipated OKTAGON 94 event will rock Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park stadium on September 26.</span></p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/ae3febc8-9823-44c8-932d-54b1c34525e5/cs.1789725970522.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7084ef22-2e5c-4634-bac2-92b91a257ab1/cs.1789725979084.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>EDMON "RINGLIFE" AVAGYAN: FROM BOUNCER TO THE TOP OF THE INTERNET</h2><p><span><strong>Edmon Avagyan (1 - 0)</strong>, known to the entire German internet by his nickname <strong>"Ringlife"</strong>, is a phenomenon the German combat sports scene has never seen before. Born in Armenia, he went through a tough school of life after moving to Germany. As a child, he experienced bullying. He left the education system after ninth grade and struggled to find his path. He tried an apprenticeship as a car salesman, but realized after a single day that this was not his destiny. <strong>He started earning a living as a nightclub bouncer</strong>. From that position, he worked his way up to becoming Germany's most prominent combat sports content creator. The turning point in his life came in October 2018 when <strong>he created a YouTube channel named RINGLIFE</strong> in his bedroom. He began filming fight analyses, reactions, and interviews, gradually building a massive fanbase. Today, his YouTube channel is followed by an impressive <strong>619 thousand subscribers</strong>, and his videos have accumulated over <strong>291 million views.</strong></span></p><p><span>As part of his content creation, he regularly trains with elite fighters. His RINGLIFE brand also gave birth to its own event series, the Ringlife Combat Series. <strong>However, Avagyan didn't want to remain just a man behind the camera.</strong> That is why in May this year, he made his <strong>first professional boxing match</strong>. In front of thirteen thousand spectators, he stopped experienced Czech fighter Patrik Fiala with a hard TKO in the third round. Now, the 34-year-old fighter faces <strong>a top-level challenge </strong>in the form of his debut under the yellow-and-black banner at the football stadium in Frankfurt. Here, he intends to prove once and for all that he is much more than just a well-spoken face from the screen.</span></p><h2>DOMINIC "THE DOM" SCHOBER: AUSTRIAN TANK WHO KNOWS NO RETREAT</h2><p><span>On the other side of the cage will stand dangerous <strong>Dominic Schober (16 - 15)</strong>, a 35-year-old tough guy from Vienna's GYM 23 and training partner of Christian Jungwirth. The former elite strongman <strong>dove into professional MMA back in 2011</strong>. Over that time, he has accumulated an impressive 31 battles and performed in a total of 14 promotions. "The Dom" lives by a simple rule in battle: <strong>finish or be finished</strong>. Indeed, <strong>14 of his 16 career victories were secured inside the distance</strong>, with 12 of his opponents finished in the very first round.</span></p><p><span><strong>However, on the yellow-and-black stage, he had to walk through fire</strong> and recorded three defeats here. In March 2024 at OKTAGON 55, <strong>he fell on points to Jaime Cordero</strong>, and in September of the same year, <strong>he came up short against Cihad Akipa</strong>. His hardest moment came last February in Třinec at OKTAGON 67, where he suffered a hard <strong>first-round TKO from Daniel Ligocký</strong>. Although his results in OKTAGON haven't been favorable so far, he brings massive confidence to Frankfurt.</span></p><p><span>This May on home soil in Vienna, <strong>he captured the XCC middleweight championship belt</strong>, stopping British contender Jason Radcliffe via TKO in just ninety seconds. His qualities are further highlighted by the fact that famous UFC champion Leon Edwards chose him as a training partner for his preparation ahead of his highly watched title defense against Kamaru Usman. We all know very well how that historic fight ultimately turned out. The Austrian tough guy knows exactly what pressure at the absolute highest world level feels like.</span></p><h2>BOXING SPEED VS AUSTRIAN TOUGHNESS</h2><p><span>This duel will take place under <strong>attractive Stand &amp; Bang rules</strong> in the 80 kg weight class. That means one thing: no takedowns, no ground fighting, <strong>pure striking in small gloves</strong>. For Avagyan, this format is tailor-made. As an excellent boxer, he doesn't have to worry at all about the significantly more experienced Austrian taking him down. However, Schober possesses immense physical strength and 15 years of experience from tough battles. <strong>Avagyan's lightning-fast boxing speed and precision</strong> will clash with the <strong>devastating power and relentless durability</strong> of the Viennese veteran. Will the popular influencer withstand the pressure of the electric crowd and steamroll the seasoned matador, or will the Austrian slugger teach him a hard lesson and ruin a carefully built story?</span></p><p><span><strong>A grand celebration of 10 years of the yellow-and-black colossus will deliver an unforgettable show and a historic milestone that will rewrite history.

10 DAYS TO GO! OKTAGON'S 10-YEAR CELEBRATION CULMINATES IN FRANKFURT

<p><span>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. Take a look at how the Brno night unfolded through the scorecards.</span></p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/974cf5f4-7307-4ba2-b6a0-3b4e26c2c7dc/cs.1789387809508.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/ccbefb5b-e536-4ea8-b687-5d6149eff445/cs.1789387815794.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>RADEK ROUŠAL VS. JONAS MÅGÅRD</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1460" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ANDREJ KALAŠNIK VS. KENNEDY RAYOMBA</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1434" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2><strong>VLADIMÍR LENGÁL VS. MAURICE ADORF</strong></h2><p><span>Here, the judges had no time to write anything down. Brno patriot Vlado Lengál wasted no time in front of the roaring crowd, unleashed a devastating strike, and sent Maurice Adorf unconscious to the canvas. Clean scorecards and a lightning knockout at 3:02 of the first round.</span></p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1461" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>JOSEF HÁLA VS. RADOVAN ÚŠKRT</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1459" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL LIGOCKI VS. BRAJAN PRZYSIWEK</h2><p><span>Home fighter Daniel Ligocki safely secured the first round on all three judges' cards thanks to higher accuracy in clinches and stand-up. In the second five minutes, he stepped on the gas, set a devastating pace, and sent his Polish opponent down with a clean knee. A spectacular KO at 3:06 marked an early end.</span></p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1488" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>VOJTĚCH GARBA VS. ROBERT LAU</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1484" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB DOHNAL VS. VOJTO BARBORÍK</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1464" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>TOMÁŠ CIGÁNIK VS. BERKAN BADUR</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1513" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ROBIN FOŠUM VS. DUSTIN RABIEGA</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1507" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ŠIMON BRUKNAR VS.

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.

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.

OKTAGON 93 THROUGH THE EYES OF THE JUDGES: BRNO EXPERIENCED A NIGHT FULL OF FINISHES

<p><span>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. How did this night full of unexpected twists and crushing finishes unfold?</span></p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/54e382d9-fef8-4dd4-b31d-192df65cc910/cs.1789251700362.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/bc42d0d1-38d3-4b03-ae33-c38524338ef2/cs.1789251707620.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>RADEK ROUŠAL VS. JONAS MÅGÅRD</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1460"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ANDREJ KALAŠNIK VS. KENNEDY RAYOMBA</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1434"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VLADIMÍR LENGÁL VS. MAURICE ADORF</h2><p><span>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. Heavy blows immediately began flying through the air, with both sides threatening a swift finish. Local favorite Vlado Lengál ultimately emerged victorious from this brawl. The Brno patriot landed a devastating strike that sent Maurice Adorf crashing to the canvas. The fight thus came to an end in the very first round. Lengál celebrates a phenomenal KO victory in front of a roaring arena, making a fantastic return to the winning column and stylishly sealing his milestone 10th career victory with his 10th KO.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1461"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JOSEF HÁLA VS. RADOVAN ÚŠKRT</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1459"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL LIGOCKI VS. BRAJAN PRZYSIWEK</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1488"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VOJTĚCH GARBA VS. ROBERT LAU</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1484"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB DOHNAL VS. VOJTO BARBORÍK</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1464"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TOMÁŠ CIGÁNIK VS. BERKAN BADUR</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1513"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ROBIN FOŠUM VS. DUSTIN RABIEGA</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1507"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ŠIMON BRUKNAR VS. NATHAN HAYWOOD</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1510"></oktfightcomponent><h2>NIAMH KINEHAN VS. ALANA COOK</h2><p><span>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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1479"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ALI GÜNDÜZ VS. DÁVID DÁNIEL KOMÁR</h2><p><span>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. Ali Gündüz ultimately walks away from this closely contested war with a split decision victory.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1500"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><span><strong>The Brno night is behind us, but the yellow-and-black colossus doesn't stop!

The OKTAGON 93 tournament promises an action-packed evening full of stories, emotions, and tough battles. In addition, the card will offer two fights under Stand and Bang rules. The Winning Group Arena in Brno will welcome another spectacular MMA show on Saturday, September 12, probably for the last time. Next year, Brno tournaments will move to the new T-Mobile Arena. Here is a complete overview of everything you can look forward to.</span></p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a4d82250-b296-4192-ade2-ec9bd7fff12c/cs.1789132923311.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/90ba2276-8058-4bf7-88f9-72fa6976dfc2/cs.1789132917743.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>RADEK ROUŠAL VS. JONAS MÅGÅRD</h2><p><span>The main event of the evening, carrying a strong personal charge. Local heavy hitter <strong>Radek "Ruchy" Roušal (7-2)</strong> 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 <strong>Jonas "Shark" Mågård (19-7)</strong>, 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?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1460"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ANDREJ KALAŠNIK VS. KENNEDY RAYOMBA</h2><p><span>The return of Brno's fan favorite, this time in a new weight class. <strong>Andrej "Vagabund" Kalašnik (13-6)</strong> moves to middleweight after an almost year-long hiatus and a lost title fight against Surdu. Standing against him is the tough German finisher <strong>Kennedy Rayomba (7-6)</strong>, 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?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1434"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VLADIMÍR LENGÁL VS. MAURICE ADORF</h2><p><span>A collision of two exciting strikers eager to get back on the winning track. Brno patriot <strong>Vladimír "Vlado" Lengál (9-7)</strong> 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 <strong>Maurice Adorf (6-4)</strong>, 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?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1461"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JOSEF HÁLA VS. RADOVAN ÚŠKRT</h2><p><span>Special Stand and Bang rules, which ban takedowns, promise a pure shootout in a catchweight up to eighty kilograms. <strong>Josef Hála (5-0)</strong>, 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 <strong>Radovan Úškrt (9-6)</strong>, 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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1459"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL LIGOCKI VS. BRAJAN PRZYSIWEK</h2><p><span>The middleweight division will offer a duel between two fighters with strong personal stories. Home-crowd favorite <strong>Daniel Ligocki (5-3)</strong>, 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 <strong>Brajan Przysiwek (5-1)</strong>, 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?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1488"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VOJTĚCH GARBA VS. ROBERT LAU</h2><p><span>A tough test in the light heavyweight division. "Silesian Knight" <strong>Vojtěch Garba (9-7)</strong> 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 <strong>Robert Lau (11-3)</strong>, whose all eleven victories came before the limit. Will Garba stop the German fighter, or will Lau deliver another brutal finish?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1484"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB DOHNAL VS. VOJTO BARBORÍK</h2><p><span>A treat for grappling fans, bringing together two of the best ground fighters on the European scene. Brno-based fighter <strong>Jakub Dohnal (13-7)</strong> 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" <strong>Vojto Barborík (16-4)</strong>, who has eleven submissions to his credit. Will Dohnal establish his control on the ground, or will Barborík's experience decide the match?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1464"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ROBIN FOŠUM VS. DUSTIN RABIEGA</h2><p><span>The return of a great prospect in the Stand and Bang format, at a catchweight up to ninety-three kilograms. <strong>Robin Fošum (2-1-1)</strong> was sidelined for more than three years due to serious health complications. His comeback will be challenged by the young German debutant <strong>Dustin Rabiega (0-0)</strong>, 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.</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1507"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ŠIMON BRUKNAR VS. NATHAN HAYWOOD</h2><p><span>A bantamweight duel where a Brno prospect defends his fortress against a British talent. "Brno Comet" <strong>Šimon Bruknar (5-2)</strong> 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 <strong>Nathan Haywood (4-3)</strong>, 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?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1510"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TOMÁŠ CIGÁNIK VS. BERKAN BADUR</h2><p><span>A clash between a hungry prospect and an undefeated talent at a catchweight up to seventy-four kilograms. Slovak warrior <strong>Tomáš Cigánik (7-4)</strong> has never been finished by KO or submission in his career. Arriving to halt his momentum is the confident <strong>Berkan Badur (4-0)</strong>, 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?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1513"></oktfightcomponent><h2>NIAMH KINEHAN VS. ALANA COOK</h2><p><span>A British-Canadian bantamweight clash in the women's division. Undefeated <strong>Niamh "The British Razor" Kinehan (2-0)</strong> 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 <strong>Alana Cook (6-2)</strong>, 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?</span></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1479"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ALI GÜNDÜZ VS. DÁVID DÁNIEL KOMÁR</h2><p><span>The entire event will be opened by a clash of two hungry bantamweight talents.

Standing in his way is Hungarian fighter <strong>Dávid Dániel Komár (5-2)</strong>, who will make his debut in the organization.
