Across the cage, the German machine Timo Feucht makes his return after seven long years, determined to prove he deserves a second chance in Europe's best league. Who will emerge victorious from this highly anticipated clash?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/fbd33c88-b578-459f-9bdf-735cd12f2589/cs.1775568772957.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/5c53f9bf-4cb5-42f4-8aaa-cda7f2145c9d/cs.1775568779233.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>MICHAŁ "PIWO" PIWOWARSKI: A DANGEROUS SOLDIER WITH A BLACK BELT</h2>For the Szczecin crowd, he is a massive draw and an obvious fan favorite. Another representative of the renowned local Berserkers Team gym, Michał Piwowarski (7-4) is the embodiment of a local patriot. Although he is 37 years old and only jumped into professional MMA in 2017, his skills command immense respect.Out of 11 professional bouts, he has secured seven victories—six of them by submission. Like his teammates, "Piwo" is absolutely at his best on the ground, where, as a BJJ black belt, he gives his opponents no room to breathe. His undeniable quality is further proven by the fact that he defeated former OKTAGON title challenger Kamil Minda during his amateur career.Beyond the hard grind on the mats, Piwowarski is also a professional soldier. He brings his iron discipline and unwavering resolve straight from the barracks. Currently riding a two-fight win streak, he now faces the opportunity of a lifetime to shine in front of his home fans on Europe's most prestigious stage.<h2>TIMO FEUCHT: A PREDATOR WHO DOESN'T NEED THE JUDGES</h2>Facing him in the cage is the extremely dangerous Timo Feucht (8-1). The German striker returns to the yellow-and-black banner after seven years with massive motivation. Fans might remember him from OKTAGON 14, where he shocked the arena by literally demolishing the then-feared Jeremy Kimball, finishing him in just two minutes.Now, he announces a spectacular comeback and makes no secret of his highest ambitions. Feucht has walked a rocky road since his last OKTAGON appearance, but he has learned from past mistakes. He sees this return as a dream second chance and wants to focus entirely on building his sporting legacy.His resume in the cage is simply terrifying: he has finished all 8 of his professional wins before the final bell. Heavy hands and devastating ground and pound are the weapons this German tank uses to strike fear into his opponents.<h2>HEAVYWEIGHT CHESS WITH NO MARGIN FOR ERROR</h2>This matchup promises a highly attractive battle where even the slightest mistake could spell an instant end. The crushing pressure and raw physical strength of Timo Feucht will collide with the elite grappling of Michał Piwowarski.Although the German fighter has a reputation as a ruthless striker, he is definitely not someone to be underestimated on the mat. He has secured three of his career wins by submission. In Szczecin, however, he faces a highly specific challenge in the form of a specialist whose greatest weapon is the ground game. "Piwo" will look to use his jiu-jitsu expertise to drag the fight into positions where he has found most of his success. Furthermore, this will be a huge mental test for the German, as he steps into a roaring Enea Arena against a highly motivated hometown fighter.Will the German finisher survive enemy territory, or will the hometown submission master claim another triumph? OKTAGON 86 erupts in Szczecin on April 11th. Don’t miss this brutal heavyweight clash and watch the entire event live.

HEAVYWEIGHT COLLISION: PIWOWARSKI TAKES ON FEUCHT IN SZCZECIN

On April 25, the Home Credit Arena in Liberec will witness a raid unprecedented in OKTAGON history. A single fight card will feature four elite representatives of the Swedish fight scene. Scandinavian steel is coming to test both the Czech and international waters, determined to leave an everlasting mark. Meet the fighters behind this destructive legion arriving to conquer the north of Bohemia.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/744bf243-fc34-4f28-83a0-65fa97e8cabf/cs.1775220295836.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/09cd29a6-265b-4e17-beed-6dfecfbb52fa/cs.1775220300342.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>ZEBAZTIAN KADESTAM: THE CHAMPION WHO PUT SOLDIĆ TO SLEEP </h2>Leading the Swedish army is the former ONE Championship world titleholder. Zebaztian "The Bandit" Kadestam (15-8) is the embodiment of absolute striking destruction, a fact he proved in his recent bout in Colorado, where he brutally knocked out the feared Roberto Soldić in the second round. Kadestam brings devastating elbows and a wealth of experience from the world's biggest arenas into the cage. In Liberec, however, he faces an extremely motivated hometown hero and elite soldier, Dominik Humburger. This will be a clash of two worlds that is highly unlikely to reach the judges' scorecards.<h2>SAMUEL BARK: THE COLD-BLOODED BELT COLLECTOR</h2>If anyone embodies a modern gladiator, it is the cold-blooded Samuel Bark (11-3). One of Europe's most successful Muay Thai fighters and a WBC belt holder, he has already made his mark in OKTAGON with a dominant victory over Vladimír Lengál and a breathtaking performance in Brno, where, despite getting off to a rocky start, he pulled off an incredible comeback to submit former champion Mate Sanikidze. Now, he returns to the cage starving for victory after a narrow decision loss to Zafar Mohsen at OKTAGON 82 in January. Standing in his way this time is the Brno brawler Radek Roušal, who is out for revenge on behalf of his friend. Brace yourselves for a ruthless stand-up war in small gloves that will make your blood run cold.<h2>JOSEFINE KNUTSSON: AN ELITE STRIKER WITH CLINICAL PRECISION </h2>The female wing of the Swedish expedition brings a true gem to the Liberec card. Josefine "Thunder" Knutsson (8-1) is an elite fighter whose movement in the cage resembles a deadly dance with a razor blade. The Muay Thai World Championship gold medalist and Japanese K-1 elite tournament finalist heads to OKTAGON with a clear goal: to bounce back from her first professional loss in her last UFC bout against Piera Rodriguez. However, an easy path back to the win column does not await her. Standing in her way in Liberec is 25-year-old Brazilian heavy hitter Mileide Simplicio, well-remembered by local fans from her clash with Veronika Smolková. In this highly anticipated matchup, the Swedish favorite is expected to deliver precise technique, devastating speed, and a harsh, world-class striking lesson.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DWWzRDTDB-h/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>LIAM PITTS: THE TV STAR WHO ALWAYS GETS THE FINISH</h2>Closing out the Swedish legion is a representative of the fierce next generation and a true phenomenon. At just 22 years old, Liam Pitts (3-0) brings not only an undefeated record into the cage but also a 100% stoppage rate. In his last fight at OKTAGON 79, he gave Stephan Guide no chance, choking him out in the very first round. Although a massive reality TV star back home, once the cage door locks, he transforms into a ruthless brawler from the renowned Allstars gym. He comes to Liberec to prove why he represents the bright future of European MMA and is ready to unleash absolute hell.The Swedish invasion is here, and on April 25, the ground in Liberec will shake!

SWEDISH INVASION BENEATH JEŠTĚD: LIBEREC BRACES FOR A NORDIC STORM

On April 25th, the Home Credit Arena in Liberec will host the highly anticipated debut of a global star. Zebaztian Kadestam, a former world champion and elite striker whose life journey led from a juvenile detention center to the absolute pinnacle of the sport, is stepping into the cage. He arrives with a clear goal: to conquer North Bohemia and leave an undeniable mark on OKTAGON soil. However, waiting for him under the Ještěd mountain is elite soldier Dominik Humburger, who refuses to back down an inch in front of his home crowd.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/b80b59ab-a121-484b-af71-668206005675/cs.1775057702696.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/aec260d3-ec35-483f-b365-3f701b126a54/cs.1775057707558.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>AN ELITE STRIKER WITH DEVASTATING POWER</h2>Zebaztian Kadestam has long been ranked among the most respected strikers on the global scene and is one of the most prominent names introduced by OKTAGON this year. The former welterweight king of the prestigious Asian promotion ONE Championship brings immense experience and a professional record of 15–8 to the cage. Remarkably, 13 of his wins have come via KO/TKO. His ability to control the tempo and apply calculated pressure makes him an extremely dangerous adversary.<h2>FROM THE STREETS TO THE WORLD THRONE</h2>The story of "The Bandit" reads like a gritty Nordic drama. Born in Uppsala, Sweden, Kadestam struggled with ADHD as a child, quickly lost interest in school, and fell into the illusions of the street. Theft, street fighting, and drugs eventually led him behind the walls of a detention center on the island of Gotland at just sixteen years old. It was there, however, that Kadestam found his salvation—martial arts. Though he initially received harsh lessons in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the mats, the defeats didn't break him. On the contrary, they helped him tame his ego and discover his inner strength.At eighteen, he made a solemn promise to himself: he would reach the global stage before turning twenty-five. Following his release in 2009, he headed to Stockholm, and a year later, he flew to Thailand to train. He admits he knew all too well that this was his last chance to avoid ending up in prison for good. Combat sports gave him the meaning and direction he had previously sought in vain. The troubled boy grew into a predator, completing his life’s turnaround in 2018 when he ascended the championship throne of ONE Championship. Thus, he enters the OKTAGON cage not just as an elite athlete, but as a hardened warrior who knows exactly what it’s like to fight his way up from the very bottom.<h2>THE EXECUTIONER WHO SILENCED SOLDIĆ</h2>To understand the magnitude of the threat the Swedish fighter poses, one only needs to look at his recent performance in Colorado, USA, where Kadestam brutally knocked out the feared Roberto Soldić. The local audience still vividly remembers the Croatian "Robocop" as the man who clinicaly broke Patrik Kincl in the third round back in 2021. Yet, Kadestam needed only two rounds to definitively shut Soldić down, confirming his status as absolute world class. For Dominik Humburger, this means one thing: he stands at a career crossroads and faces perhaps the toughest test that could ever define his legacy. This trial will speak volumes about the future of the middleweight division.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DV_qwwCjAA6/?utm_source=ig_embed"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>AN EARTHQUAKE IN NORTH BOHEMIA</h2>OKTAGON 87 in Liberec offers more than just a clash between a world champion and a local soldier; it features a card packed with stars of the European scene. Under the spotlights of the Home Credit Arena, you will witness the historic title fight of Lucia Szabová, the spectacular return of Vlado Lengál, and an uncompromising striking war featuring Radek Roušal.On April 25th, witness the confrontation of vast experience and pure hunger for victory.

THE BIRTH OF A BANDIT: HOW A TROUBLED KID BECAME A WORLD CHAMPION NOW HEADING TO OKTAGON

On April 11th, Szczecin's Enea Arena will host a matchup that will send chills down the spines of striking fans. OKTAGON 86 features a clash between two women who have reached the absolute pinnacle of their respective disciplines. Homegrown star and nine-time Polish K-1 champion Emilia Czerwińska will face British icon Niamh Kinehan, considered by many to be the best female Muay Thai fighter on the planet. Will Polish grit dominate in small gloves, or will technical precision from the cradle of Thai boxing prevail?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c5e910b4-14c2-45e9-af44-634c4067b49f/cs.1774958869458.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/fa8d7f26-e45c-4ff2-871d-0bc14155d38c/cs.1774958873870.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>EMILIA CZERWIŃSKA: THE IRON LADY OF POLISH STRIKING</h2>The resume of Emilia Czerwińska (3–1) commands respect from anyone who has ever laced up gloves. A nine-time Polish champion and two-time K-1 World Champion, she is at the peak of her career at 35. Czerwińska isn't just a "fighter"—she is a winning machine with years of experience in the world’s toughest rings.She transitioned to MMA with a clear goal: to prove her style is adaptable to the cage. She has already proven her worth in KSW, showing that her strikes carry knockout power even in small gloves. In Szczecin, she will have the entire arena behind her. Emilia is hunting for her fourth professional win and intends to show that experience and power are on her side.<h2>NIAMH KINEHAN: THE WORLD'S BEST MUAY THAI FIGHTER</h2>Standing across from the local hero is a woman whose name is spoken with sacred reverence across Europe. Niamh Kinehan joined OKTAGON as the absolute "GOAT" of female Thai boxing. Holding titles from the WBC, WMO, and ISKA, she has won everything there is to win in the ring. Her style is defined by relentless pressure, lethal knees, and clinches from which there is no escape.While Kinehan is still a newcomer to MMA, her debut at a sold-out Štvanice was breathtaking. She systematically dismantled Czech prospect Michaela Hlaváčiková, proving her Muay Thai is absolutely devastating in the cage. Now, Niamh is raising the bar. For the first time, she faces an opponent who is larger and more experienced in MMA. However, the British champion loves a challenge and travels to Poland with one goal: to silence Szczecin and confirm her technique is unmatched.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVgdkBtiCHZ/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>A CLASH OF TWO WORLDS: K-1 VS. MUAY THAI</h2>Czerwińska vs. Kinehan is more than just an MMA duel. It is a confrontation between two schools of striking. While the Pole relies on boxing combinations and the high-pressure K-1 style, the Brit brings the destructive power of Thai boxing into the cage. Which woman will conquer Szczecin and secure a crucial victory in the OKTAGON cage?OKTAGON 86 in Szczecin will be a night of legends!

CLASH OF ELITE STRIKERS: HOME FAVORITE CZERWIŃSKA TO FACE STAR KINEHAN IN SZCZECIN

OKTAGON’s historic first-ever tournament in Poland is knocking on the door, and with it comes the debut of a man entering the organization with the aura of a champion and a reputation as an uncompromising finisher. Mateusz Janur (11–4) dominated the Polish organization FEN and is now ready to conquer the European throne. Standing in his way, however, is one of the toughest obstacles in the division: former interim champion Piotr Wawrzyniak. How is Janur preparing, what does it mean to fight alongside legends like Materla and Narkun, and what kind of burger will he treat himself to after a victory? You’ll find out all this and more in our exclusive interview.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c13b180f-559e-4df5-bbde-7b11971ddbe9/cs.1774531270380.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/1a5d2bc3-9da5-435d-b6c6-dc72a851a915/cs.1774531276157.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent>Mateusz, welcome to OKTAGON. Your debut takes place at the promotion's historic first-ever event in Poland. What are your prevailing emotions just a few weeks before this milestone?I am incredibly happy to be part of this historic event. I’m looking forward to the fight immensely. It also means a lot to me to be competing on the same card as Michał Materla and Tomasz Narkun—they are true icons of Polish MMA.What specifically attracted you to OKTAGON? Had you been following the promotion before, or did you start paying attention only after the expansion into Poland was announced?OKTAGON caught my eye because of its rapid expansion across Europe. Right now, it’s the largest and fastest-growing MMA organization on the European market. Of course, the contract offer played a role, but I had been following OKTAGON tournaments before that. What interested me most was last year’s middleweight tournament and the guys who competed in it.You enter OKTAGON with a reputation as a feared finisher—9 of your 11 wins ended before the final bell. Can fans expect another hunt for a finish? What kind of statement do you want to make in your first fight?In every fight, I prepare for a tough three-round battle. But if the opportunity arises during the fight, I always go for the finish—whether it’s a submission or a knockout. It will be the same here. I expect three demanding rounds with Piotr Wawrzyniak, but if the chance comes, I will definitely try to end the fight before the final gong.Your last two fights ended in victories via guillotine choke. Your upcoming opponent, Piotr Wawrzyniak, has never been finished by KO/TKO. Will you aim to be the first to do so, or will you rely on your grappling skills?As I said, I’m preparing for three rounds of hard exchanges. But if the situation gives me an opening to end the fight via submission or knockout, I’ll take it. I firmly believe in the power of my striking, but I see great opportunities in my ground game as well.Piotr Wawrzyniak is a former OKTAGON interim champion and one of the toughest fighters in the division. How do you view him as an opponent? Have you watched his previous fights?Piotr is a very tough fighter. He constantly pressures forward and loves sharp exchanges. He is in the top five of the rankings, so this is a great matchup for me and a huge opportunity to jump straight to the top of the division. I’m really looking forward to sharing the cage with him.You are a star in Poland, but in OKTAGON, you are starting a new chapter. How much does it motivate you to win over Czech, Slovak, and German fans who might be seeing you in action for the first time on Saturday night?It’s a new chapter for me and a chance to step onto a major international stage. I’m excited to fight in front of fans from all over Europe—whether they are from Czechia, Germany, Slovakia, or elsewhere. I want to put on a great performance so that they remember my name for a long time.Wawrzyniak is known for his aggressive style and heavy hands. How are you preparing for this type of opponent at your home gym, Armia Polkowice? Is it the sparring with heavyweights there that has toughened you up for this duel?I am preparing for Piotr tactically, of course, but I’d rather keep the details to myself. I train at the Armia Polkowice gym as well as Ankos MMA Poznań, where I have the opportunity to spar with some of the best middleweight fighters in Poland and Europe. Thanks to that, I will be fully prepared for Piotr’s style.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVJXJPiDLGb/?img_index=1"></oktinstagramcomponent>At 34, you are an experienced veteran at the top of your game. What do you see as your biggest advantage over the younger "hungry wolves" trying to fight their way to the top of the middleweight division?Honestly, I feel young and believe I am in the best shape of my career. My biggest advantage is definitely experience. I’ve been through tough battles, faced strong opponents, and known both victory and defeat. I’ve seen a lot in this sport, and that experience is one of my greatest assets.OKTAGON’s middleweight division is currently one of the most stacked. If you defeat Wawrzyniak on Saturday, will you want someone from the top five next, or do you have a specific name in mind?Right now, I am fully focused only on the fight with Piotr Wawrzyniak. That is the only thing that matters at the moment. I’m not looking too far ahead. After the fight in Szczecin, we’ll see what comes next in OKTAGON.Many fighters have their rituals. Do you do anything specific on fight day to get into "the zone"?On fight day, I like to focus on mental preparation. I use breathing exercises and meditation to stay calm and focused. I also visualize how the fight might unfold. It’s important for me to have my friends and my entire corner around me; that gives me a lot of confidence and peace.You won’t reveal your game plan, but if you had to guess—in which round and by what method will you emerge victorious in Szczecin?It’s hard to predict the exact ending, but I have two ideal scenarios. The first would be a quick submission finish. The second would be three hard rounds of intense exchanges followed by a submission or knockout in the third round.If you could say one thing to the Polish fans coming to the arena to support you, what would it be?I can promise all the Polish fans that we, as fighters, will do everything to make sure OKTAGON enters Poland in great style. I hope the fans come to the arena, enjoy the atmosphere, and support all the fighters—both the domestic and the international ones.Mateusz, outside the cage, you seem very calm and composed. How do you relax when you aren't training for fights?I love sports and I love good food. Outside of training, I like to stay active in various other sports and spend my free time enjoying great meals in good restaurants. That’s my way of resting and recharging my batteries.I have to ask about your love for burgers. What kind of burger will you treat yourself to after the fight in Szczecin?My love for burgers stems partly from the fact that one of my close friends owns a burger restaurant. He is also one of my sponsors and was one of the first people to support me in my professional career. You could say I’m the official taster for his burgers. So after the fight in Szczecin, I’m sure he’ll prepare something special for me.Authenticity is important for fighters. What should OKTAGON fans associate with the name Mateusz Janur? What legacy do you want to leave in the organization?I want people to associate my name with true sportsmanship and professionalism. Less talk, more action. I want to be known for my attitude outside the cage and for strong, exciting performances inside it.Mateusz Janur is ready to storm into OKTAGON and immediately aim for the highest goals. Will he manage to stop Wawrzyniak in Szczecin and secure a prime position in the stacked middleweight division? We’ll find out on April 11th at the Enea Arena.

MATEUSZ JANUR: "LESS TALK, MORE ACTION. I WANT FANS TO REMEMBER MY NAME"

Liberec's Home Credit Arena is bracing for an invasion of Moravian power. The inseparable duo, synonymous with attractive "wars" and an uncompromising style, is back in action. Radek Roušal and Vlado Lengál, two brawlers from Brno, will challenge dangerous international raiders at OKTAGON 87. We are in for a personal vendetta for a teammate and a battle for a spot in the Lightweight TOP 5. Will the Brno duo conquer North Bohemia?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/ef8f6998-6c2f-406d-962f-a7c2eac10493/cs.1774360393001.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/cdb1ecf5-31c2-4b16-9c50-f5c5db22d34a/cs.1774360399668.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>RADEK ROUŠAL: TIME FOR REVENGE AND A CLIMB TO THE TOP</h2>The popular Brno "bad boy" Radek Roušal is enjoying a dream run. His 2025 campaign was a total demolition—three fights, three victories, all finished before the distance. Most recently in Brno, he shocked the arena by knocking out Corey Frye, who was supposed to be his toughest test, in the very first round. Roušal is on a roll, and his confidence and hunger grow with every bout.In Liberec, however, he faces a challenge with a personal touch. Standing in his way is the Swedish "Sammon Decker," Samuel Bark. The former UAE Warriors champion and elite Muay Thai fighter has already sparked a heated exchange with Roušal on social media, much to the fans' delight. Bark is extremely dangerous in the cage—he submitted Sanikidze in Brno, and more importantly, he holds a win over Roušal’s teammate, Vlado Lengál. For Radek, the mission is clear: avenge his friend, take down the star Swede, and firmly establish himself among the Featherweight elite. A finish will be in the air from the very first second!<h2>VLADO LENGÁL: A BATTLE FOR THE TOP 5 AGAINST THE TURKISH DRAGON</h2>While Roušal attacks the top of the Featherweight division, the legendary Vlado Lengál aims to improve his standing in the stacked Lightweight division. Last time in Brno, Vlado showed his fists still possess devastating power when he steamrolled his Serbian opponent Dimić, finishing him in the second round. Lengál is a fan favorite thanks to his resilience and willingness to engage in any exchange.In Liberec, he faces the Turkish sharpshooter Ozan Aslaner. Currently ranked #7 in the Lightweight division, Aslaner is a proven name in OKTAGON with battles against the likes of Kuzník, Tichota, and Mudroch under his belt. Aslaner recently defeated Mexican veteran Elpidio and is now hungry for another Czech scalp. For Lengál, this is a pivotal duel—victory will catapult him toward the TOP 5 and prove that Vlado is far from finished. We are in for a clash of two hard-hitting strikers, and once again, a finish before the final bell is expected.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVteXb6jM-U/?img_index=8"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>WILL LIBEREC CELEBRATE WITH BRNO?</h2>Two teammates, one goal: to bring valuable scalps back from North Bohemia and show that the Brno school is world-class. Can Roušal tame Bark and Lengál stop Aslaner? The Home Credit Arena will be boiling, and fan support could be the deciding factor.OKTAGON 87 in Liberec is fast approaching! On April 25th, you’ll see not only the Brno duo in action but also the historic title fight of Lucia Szabová and local hero Dominik Humburger. This is a tournament you cannot miss!

THE BRNO COMBO IN ACTION: LENGÁL AND ROUŠAL HEAD TO LIBEREC

Szczecin's Enea Arena is bracing for a clash that could decide the future of the welterweight division. Former champion Ion Surdu returns to the cage on a mission to prove the throne belongs to him. However, standing in his way is the Georgian phenomenon Amiran Gogoladze, who remains undefeated in OKTAGON. We are in for a showdown between two elite strikers where a single second of inattention could mean the end. Who will blast their way to a title shot in Szczecin?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c0ded12b-36ed-4212-b5dd-d51ff6c1098e/cs.1774017515316.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/61397426-157d-44c5-9aa5-a71264f75141/cs.1774017522382.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>"DRACULA" HEADS BACK TO THE TOP</h2>The Moldovan Prince, Ion Surdu, is one of the most prolific finishers in European welterweight history. He lost his title unfortunately due to missing weight, but inside the cage, he left no room for doubt. Most recently in Brno, he put on a clinical demolition, brutally finishing local hero Andrej Kalašník in front of his home fans.Surdu is currently the division's #1, and his hunger for gold is greater than ever. The reigning champion is Kaik Brito, who secured the belt by knocking out Ronald Paradeiser in the third round. "Dracula" is now driven by dual motivation—he wants his belt back and seeks to avenge his teammate Rony. Furthermore, Surdu has already defeated Brito once before and is confident that a rematch would yield the same result. First, however, he must deal with a dangerous new contender.<h2>THE RETURN OF THE GEORGIAN SNIPER</h2>Facing the Moldovan predator is a man with surgical precision in his hands. Georgian champion Amiran Gogoladze returns after a forced 18-month hiatus due to injury. "The Sniper" boasts an impressive 17 victories and has yet to find a conqueror inside the yellow-and-black cage.At just 28 years old, the Georgian is considered one of Europe's top talents. His style is built on incredible speed, timing, and the ability to strike from angles no one sees coming. The long layoff has built up massive motivation. Gogoladze isn't just returning to compete—he's returning to show that despite the injury, he remains the predator of the welterweight division and that his undefeated streak in OKTAGON will continue.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DTxuetmjGzU/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>WHO WILL TAKE THE NEXT STEP TOWARD THE TITLE?</h2>Surdu vs. Gogoladze is a battle at the very pinnacle of the division. For Ion, it’s a chance to finally erase the shadow of the missed weight and take the first step back to the title. For Amiran, it’s a career-defining opportunity to dethrone the division’s #1 immediately upon his return. It will be a collision of Moldovan explosiveness and Georgian precision.OKTAGON 86 in Szczecin is writing Polish MMA history!

WHO WILL BE BRITO’S NEXT CHALLENGER? SURDU AND GOGOLADZE COLLIDE IN SZCZECIN

Home soil, his hometown, and an opponent whose name resonates on a global scale. Dominik Humburger, an elite soldier and now one of OKTAGON’s brightest stars, returns to Liberec. The year 2025 was a journey of unexpected triumphs and battles that brought fans to their feet. Now, "Hambáč" stands at the threshold of the absolute top. However, standing in his way is the Swedish "Bandit."<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7ae055ee-7467-42b7-b5a1-ea978ced2619/cs.1773842465517.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/8ca4c9c7-e9f9-4e16-b8e3-a45300420990/cs.1773842483232.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>A WARRIOR IN HEART AND SOUL</h2>Dominik Humburger is no ordinary fighter. His profile is unique in European MMA—he is an elite soldier whose life is defined by service to his country. During the summer of 2025, he moved to the elite Special Forces of the Czech Armed Forces, further highlighting his incredible discipline and dedication. Dominik brings more than just strikes into the cage; he brings the values of a true warrior: honor and respect.Humburger is a man of many roles—a close-quarters combat instructor, a recipient of a military award from President Petr Pavel, but above all, an uncompromising combatant.<h2>2025: THE JOURNEY OF AN UNDERDOG WHO SHOCKED EUROPE</h2>Last year belonged to him. Dominik Humburger entered every major fight as the underdog, yet he delivered a miracle every single time.<ul><li>Taking Pirát’s Scalp: In his debut in Karlovy Vary, he silenced the critics by steamrolling the favored Samuel Krištofič in the main event via second-round TKO.</li><li>The Miracle at Štvanice: The Tipsport Gamechanger quarter-final against Hulme. At the packed open-air stadium in Prague, Dominik finished the tournament's biggest favorite, leaving thousands of fans cheering in a standing ovation. It was a moment that became one of the ultimate highlights of the year.</li><li>Fight of the Year with Engizek: In the semi-finals in Bratislava, he faced the undefeated champion Kerim Engizek. It was a duel that fans voted the "2025 Fight of the Year." Dominik was literally seconds away from victory, pushing the champion like no one else has in the last 10 years. Only an unfortunate pause following a low blow and Engizek's experience in the final round resulted in a narrow decision loss.</li></ul>This run propelled Humburger to #4 in the middleweight rankings and made him a national favorite. Now, it’s time for the next step.<h2>A WORLD-CLASS ADVERSARY: ZEBAZTIAN KADESTAM</h2>While Dominik will have the entire city of Liberec behind him, he faces a man who knows exactly what it’s like to hold world gold over his head. Zebaztian "The Bandit" Kadestam is a Swedish powerhouse arriving in OKTAGON with the aura of a former World Champion from the prestigious Asian organization ONE Championship. Kadestam is renowned for his brutal striking power and an incredible ability to finish fights—his style is pure aggression that leaves no room for error. His professional record stands at 15–8, with 13 of those wins coming via KO/TKO, proving just how lethal a finisher he truly is.The quality of the Swedish fighter is best illustrated by his recent scalp. In Colorado, USA, Kadestam emphatically knocked out the feared Roberto Soldić. Soldić is a name that strikes fear into Czechoslovak fans—he is the same man who brutally finished Patrik Kincl in the third round back in 2021. Kadestam managed to take down the Croatian "Robocop" in the second round, sending a clear message that he belongs among the elite of the world. For Humburger, this is likely the greatest test of his career.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DV_qwwCjAA6/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>THE HOME CREDIT ARENA IS SET TO BOIL</h2>OKTAGON 87 in Liberec offers a night that North Bohemia will never forget.

Home soil, his hometown, and an opponent whose name resonates on a global scale. Dominik Humburger, an elite soldier and now one of OKTAGON’s brightest stars, returns to Liberec. The year 2025 was a journey of unexpected triumphs and battles that brought fans to their feet. 

HUMBURGER vs. KADESTAM: THE SOLDIER’S ULTIMATE TEST IN LIBEREC

The Home Credit Arena is preparing for one of the most significant women's bouts in OKTAGON history. Slovak sensation Lucia Szabová stands at the gates of immortality. If she succeeds, she will become the first woman in the promotion's history to sit on the throne of two weight classes simultaneously. However, the path to gold leads through a dangerous Brazilian champion who is coming to the Czech Republic for nothing less than the scalp of the local star. Will the "Silent Killer" rewrite history, or will Fernandes shock Liberec?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/b65ee338-fe68-4dd8-90ba-2a7d0a8e15c8/cs.1773756374306.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/0757843a-5238-43f7-a113-87e853c96483/cs.1773756378771.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>LUCIA SZABOVÁ: THE "SILENT KILLER" ON THE PATH TO IMMORTALITY</h2>Lucia Szabová (10–0) is a phenomenon. Since her return from maternity leave in March 2024, she has proven that she hasn't lost any of her killer instinct. Quite the opposite. She kicked off 2025 with a performance that was talked about worldwide—literally "erasing" UFC veteran Kalindra Faria in the first round with an unconventional Standing Americana. In the summer at Štvanice, her victory over Cecilia Bolander secured her tenth win in the organization and the bantamweight championship title.Now, the "Silent Killer" moves to the flyweight division, where her speed and technical precision are expected to shine even brighter. Moving down a weight class isn't just about cutting pounds; it's a mission for the history books. In the cage, Szabová appears invincible. She reads her opponents, waits for a mistake, and then strikes with uncompromising accuracy. At the same time, she can apply immense pressure that causes her opponents to crumble. A victory in Liberec would confirm her status as the absolute European number one and make her the first female double-champion in the organization's history.<h2>LEIDIANE FERNANDES: BRAZILIAN DYNAMITE IN CZECH TERRITORY</h2>Standing against the Slovak icon is an opponent used to winning in the toughest conditions. Leidiane Fernandes (7–2) enters OKTAGON as the reigning champion of the prestigious Brazilian organization Jungle Fight—a breeding ground for South American talent. Her path to the title was paved with aggression and, above all, incredible power, which she crowned with a brutal knockout in the pyramid final.Fernandes is not a tactician in the cage; she is a predator. She is known for her physicality, her willingness to engage in wild exchanges, and a knockout punch that is devastating by women's standards. She arrives in Liberec with a clear plan: to silence the arena, end Szabová's undefeated streak, and become the champion. Can Brazilian ferocity derail Slovak power?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/48dc15c7-03bd-427e-bb7d-86ac5a0367b5/cs.1773756589054.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/ac81a24a-ea5e-4b1c-899e-80d46b235871/cs.1773756593285.png" croppedcorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>LIBEREC SET FOR A NIGHT OF STARS</h2>The title fight between Szabová and Fernandes is just the tip of the iceberg hitting North Bohemia this April. OKTAGON 87 promises a card packed with emotion and local heroes:<ul><li>Dominik Humburger – The local hero whose career is on a steep upward trajectory.</li><li>Vladimír Lengál – A guarantee of excitement and uncompromising stand-up battles.</li><li>Radek Roušal – The "bad boy" from Brno, ready to unleash chaos in the cage.</li></ul>It will be an evening that either confirms the reign of Lucia Szabová or births a new international star from Brazil.OKTAGON 87 kicks off on April 25th!

A HISTORIC MILESTONE WITHIN REACH! SZABOVÁ TO ATTACK DOUBLE-CHAMPION STATUS IN LIBEREC

OKTAGON 86 is fast approaching. OKTAGON’s premiere in Poland will take place in just three weeks at Szczecin's Enea Arena. Several fighters featured on the card hail directly from Szczecin, including local legends Michał Materla, Tomasz Narkun, and Michał Piwowarski. Who are these representatives of the famous Berserkers Team, and what can you expect from them on April 11th?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/40b69a3e-d882-4ea6-8c4d-764360fed6ce/cs.1773692459821.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/416a82f0-f99d-4236-8aa5-0ff3975b4bc3/cs.1773692464302.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TWO MEGA STARS: MATERLA AND NARKUN BACK IN ACTION </h2>Few Polish fighters possess the legendary status of Michał Materla and Tomasz Narkun. Materla has long been one of the primary faces of Polish MMA. He made his professional debut back in 2003, starting his career with a rocket-like eight-fight winning streak. He has competed for almost every major Polish organization, from smaller local shows to the biggest stages. In 2012, he became the KSW middleweight champion and successfully defended his title four times. He also captured championship gold in the EFM organization. Throughout his career, Materla has faced Europe's elite, including Tomasz Drwal, Mamed Khalidov, Roberto Soldić, and Mariusz Pudzianowski. At one point, Materla was ranked an impressive #16 in the world middleweight rankings.With nearly 270,000 followers on Instagram, Materla has won over fans with his exciting fighting style, never hesitating to engage in risky exchanges. He relies on his trademark toughness, evidenced by an nearly 80% finish rate across his incredible 33 career victories! However, his opponent, Christian Jungwirth, is cut from the same cloth. The German "Celt" is famous for his tenacity, relentlessness, and willingness to push himself to the absolute physical limit. This clash of icons in Szczecin promises to be a high-octane affair.The second major legend is Tomasz Narkun, a feared submission specialist and one of the most dominant light heavyweight fighters in Poland. The man nicknamed "Žyrafa" (The Giraffe) boasts a professional record of 21–6. His BJJ black belt is backed by an incredible 15 submission wins. He is also one of the longest-reigning KSW champions in history, successfully defending his title for five long years.At 36, Tomasz Narkun is still ready to prove he belongs among Europe's elite, if not at the very top. He won his last three fights dominantly, needing a combined total of just 136 seconds to finish all three opponents! Fighting at home in Szczecin, he looks forward to reminding his fans just how good he truly is. His skills will be tested by the German Viking Alexander "Ironside" Poppeck, the current #1 contender in the 93kg division. The winner of this duel will likely secure a title shot against the reigning champion, Will Fleury.<h2>HEAVYWEIGHTS TAKE THE STAGE </h2>Another representative of the local Berserkers Team is heavyweight Michał Piwowarski. Like his teammates, Piwowarski is strongest on the ground; six of his seven victories have come via submission. Although Piwowarski is 37, he only began his professional career in 2017 and has 11 pro fights under his belt. However, his skills should not be underestimated. Even as an amateur, he defeated former OKTAGON title challenger Kamil Minda. Currently riding a two-fight winning streak, he now has the chance to perform before his home crowd on Europe's most prestigious stage.On the other side of the cage stands the dangerous Timo Feucht, a German fighter OKTAGON fans may remember from OKTAGON 14, where he demolished Jeremy Kimball. Now, after seven years, he returns with a single goal—to become champion. In Szczecin, however, he faces a tough test where he must prove he can hold his own even in the ground game.Szczecin will feature more than just local stars. Piotr Wawrzyniak, Mateusz Janur, Ion Surdu, and many others will also step into the cage. Enea Arena is set for an explosion of emotion like never before. Mark April 11th in your calendar, or better yet, buy your tickets now and be part of this unique evening! OKTAGON 86 is coming.<okteventcomponent eventid="127"></okteventcomponent>
