OKTAGON is heading to Hamburg! The second largest city in Germany will host the premier OKTAGON 73 tournament this Saturday, June 28th. Barclays Arena will welcome 14,000 spectators and offer not only the return of the home legend and "King of Germany" Christian Eckerlin, but also a strong Slovak challenge from Robert "Prince of Bratislava" Pukač. However, the OKTAGON 73 fight card offers much more. Let's break it down in numbers and interesting facts.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/43833cdd-f7e8-4e49-b77e-1f4c3a512ec5/cs.1750949196498.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c588c021-c06a-4c42-8cdc-b2ff5adcf820/cs.1750949203756.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>SPECIALISTS IN SUBMISSIONS: WHEN GROUND DECIDES</h2>The Hamburg tournament brings some of the best experts in submission finishes to the cage. The stats confirm this:Joilton Lutterbach has 13 submission victories. In addition, he has 15 KO/TKO finishes, showing just how versatile he is. Jessin Ayari and Christian Eckerlin both forced their opponents to tap out eight times. Eckerlin is particularly fond of the RNC technique, which he won six times. Jonas Magard, former bantamweight champion, loves the Japanese Necktie, a move he has used to win five of his seven submission victories. Vojto Barborík has finished 11 opponents by submission, confirming that he is one of Slovakia's best grapplers. He also has an upcoming rematch with the legendary Ivan Buchinger, so he’ll have even more reason to perform in Hamburg upon his return. And let’s not forget Marek Bartl, who made history by completing the only reverse triangle choke in OKTAGON history.<h2>EXPERIENCED VETERANS: THE NUMBER OF FIGHTS THAT COMMAND RESPECT</h2>Some stars of OKTAGON 73 have a significant number of fights under their belts:<ul><li>Joilton Lutterbach (49 fights) is a highly experienced veteran of 33 different MMA organizations, with several fights in karate, K-1, and other disciplines.</li><li>Robert Pukač (33 fights) fought his first OKTAGON match in 2018 at OKTAGON 10, where he won against Jan Janko.</li><li>Zhalgas Zhumagulov (26 fights) is a UFC veteran and former world #8 bantamweight. Will Zhumagulov prevail against the dangerous Beno Adamia in the title fight?</li><li>Marek Bartl (28 fights) is one of the longest active fighters in the organization. He remains undefeated in the welterweight division (3-0) and will aim to extend his streak.</li></ul><h2>OKTAGON CHALLENGE AS A SPRINGBOARD</h2>Several participants of the evening have been with OKTAGON since its very beginnings. Robert Pukač and Marek Bartl appeared in the very first season of OKTAGON Challenge, which preceded the organization’s first tournament. While Pukač participated as a coach, Bartl entered as a fighter. Christian Eckerlin, Pukač’s opponent, also had a similar experience as one of the coaches of the first German OKTAGON Challenge.<h2>FIRST-ROUND FINISHES? NO PROBLEM FOR THESE GUYS</h2>Some fighters have first-round finishes practically in their DNA:<ul><li>Kaik Brito has finished 11 fights in the first round, and all 17 of his wins have been finishes – a 100% finish rate! His fastest victory came in just 21 seconds.</li><li>Joilton Lutterbach has finished 25 opponents in the first round! His fastest finish came in a mere 20 seconds.</li><li>Niklas Stolze and Jessin Ayari, two fighters facing each other in Hamburg, each have eight first-round victories.

OKTAGON is heading to Hamburg! The second largest city in Germany will host the premier OKTAGON 73 tournament this Saturday, June 28th.

OKTAGON 73 IN NUMBERS: WHAT RECORDS AND STATISTICS ARE HIDDEN IN THE CARD IN HAMBURG?

This Saturday, June 28, 2025, the Barclays Arena in Hamburg will host OKTAGON 73. For the first time in history, the biggest European MMA organization is making its way to Germany's second-largest city – and it's bringing a star-studded fight card. The highlight of the night will be a clash between two powerful stories, two complex fighters, and two different paths: Christian “King of Germany” Eckerlin vs. Robert “Prince of Bratislava” Pukač. This fight could determine the next challenger in the stacked welterweight division.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e67e4ff5-c37c-4be9-ad44-b4e112906852/cs.1750690004398.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e9ac286e-dff9-41a4-b73c-42ee1a2db629/cs.1750690011286.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>CHRISTIAN ECKERLIN: THE CROWNED KING OF GERMANY</h2>Christian Eckerlin is a household name in Germany. A former footballer and now an elite MMA fighter with the nickname “King of Frankfurt,” Eckerlin has solidified his position as one of the biggest stars of the German fight scene over the past year. In 2024, he secured two major victories: first, he finished Miroslav Brož by TKO, and then in a high-stakes duel for the symbolic crown of Germany, he defeated Christian Jungwirth. All of this happened in front of nearly 60,000 fans at Deutsche Bank Park stadium during the record-breaking OKTAGON 62.Eckerlin is known for his aggressive style – in striking, he applies technical boxing, punishing even the smallest mistakes with power. In the clinch, he delivers elbows with surgical precision, and on the ground, he’s no slouch – evidenced by eight submission wins. He enjoys massive popularity in his homeland, and Hamburg is sure to bring a loud cheer for him. For any opponent, this means a pressure that’s tough to handle.<h2>ROBERT PUKAČ: THE PRINCE IN THE BEST FORM OF HIS CAREER</h2>Robert “Prince of Bratislava” Pukač is preparing for the biggest fight of his life. The Slovakian fighter, who has been with OKTAGON since its early years, is experiencing a well-deserved career restart after fifteen years. Following a disappointing performance against Jungwirth, where he chose not to continue into the third round, Pukač made significant changes – switching gyms, altering his mental approach, and tweaking his training strategy. The result? A dominant victory over the beloved ex-champion David Kozma.Pukač is a versatile and experienced fighter – with nearly 35 professional bouts under his belt, he’s capable of finishing a fight both standing and on the ground. He’s now the #4 fighter in the welterweight division, and a win over #3 Eckerlin could bring him closer to a title shot. Although he enters this fight as an underdog, he brings with him form, determination, and one clear goal – to prove he is the one who deserves to sit on the metaphorical throne.<h2>PRINCE vs. KING: WHO WILL CONQUER HAMBURG?</h2>The fight between Pukač and Eckerlin not only features two excellent athletes but also tells the story of two powerful paths. Both are at the peak of their careers, and it's uncertain how long they will continue to fight. They each have fresh big victories under their belts and are in the top 5 of the welterweight division. They will square off in the tense atmosphere of OKTAGON’s debut in Hamburg, with home favorite Eckerlin not wanting to disappoint his fans – while Pukač arrives as the underdog, with one clear goal: to win.Stylistically, we can expect a dynamic battle, with Eckerlin pushing forward, using his powerful striking and clinch, while Pukač will rely on his movement and striking from a safe distance. Both are capable of ending the fight before the limit, and both know what’s at stake: a chance to fight for the title in one of OKTAGON’s most exciting divisions. Hamburg is in for a thrilling main event of the night. Who will conquer another German city – the Prince or the King?Whether you’re cheering for Eckerlin or Pukač, this fight will be the climax of the evening. There was already some heat between the two during their first staredown, so we’re in for a treat. But there’s much more to look forward to in Hamburg – a flyweight title fight, Lutterbach’s OKTAGON debut, and plenty of other exciting bouts.

The grand OKTAGON 72 tournament brought several close fights. The judges had a tough job, and many bouts were decided by the smallest of details.

From the beginning of the fight, "Mach" was slightly more active, and Kincl couldn’t find an answer to his strategy, which was reflected in the judges' scorecards.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1153" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>IVAN BUCHINGER vs VLADO LENGÁL</h2>This fight did not disappoint. Lengál definitely surprised many fans and even Buchinger with how much he had improved his takedown defense. However, it wasn’t enough against the legendary “Buki.” In the second round, Buchinger got to Lengál’s back, gradually wore him down, and eventually secured a Rear-Naked Choke for the win.<oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1186" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>BOJAN VELIČKOVIĆ vs RONALD PARADEISER</h2>The top-tier welterweight fight ended early due to an injury to Bojan, who was forced to tap out.

OKTAGON 72 THROUGH THE EYES OF THE JUDGES: CLOSE BATTLES DECIDED BY THE SMALLEST DETAILS

&nbsp;OKTAGON 72 brought an incredible climax to long-standing rivalries on the domestic MMA scene. The outdoor stadium in Eden hosted several historic moments that will be remembered for a long time, and some of them will likely never be forgotten. Let’s go through the tournament results and revisit the thrilling action of each fight.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7c695ed6-cd57-4a35-9021-cd176574a41c/cs.1750001244791.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/3458b0fd-92f7-448c-8eea-e8d1d86cbe94/cs.1750001285094.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>KARLOS VÉMOLA vs ATTILA VÉGH</h2>In one word – LEGENDARY! The last dance between two icons of Czech and Slovak MMA was everything we hoped for. We witnessed all five rounds of an incredible fight that was back and forth, and until the very end, it wasn’t clear who would take the victory. Vémola absorbed several hard punches and started to wobble, but with sheer willpower, he stayed on his feet and managed to push Attila back to the cage, where he thrives. Végh showed significant improvement in defending against Karlos’s attacks. This epic final led to several nail-biting moments for fans of both camps. In the end, it was Karlos Vémola's hunger and desire for victory that proved to be greater. He became the eternal winner of the Infinity Belt and the ultimate legend of domestic MMA.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1127"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MAKHMUD MURADOV vs PATRIK KINCL</h2>Muradov and Kincl delivered the world-class MMA performance we’ve all been waiting for. A strategic and technical five-round battle that sometimes felt like a chess match, with both fighters carefully reading each other's moves and preparing for their offensive. The Uzbek fighter was clearly superior in this game, and after the five-round war, he walked away not only with a valuable scalp of one of the best Czech fighters but also the interim middleweight title. Muradov once again showed great form, and we can look forward to seeing him next.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1153"></oktfightcomponent><h2>IVAN BUCHINGER vs VLADO LENGÁL</h2>A true clash of styles. One wanted to dominate on the feet, the other on the ground, and it turned into a thrilling fight that had the entire stadium on its feet. Lengál surprised many fans and experts with how much he improved his takedown defense, but it wasn’t enough against the legendary Buchinger. In the second round, Ivan stuck to Lengál’s back, gradually wore him down, and eventually secured a Rear-Naked Choke to claim another victory via submission. A fantastic fight that set the stage for the final bouts of the tournament.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1186"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BOJAN VELIČKOVIĆ vs RONALD PARADEISER</h2>A highly anticipated fight, but unfortunately, it ended prematurely due to injury. After only 90 seconds of the fight, Veličković tapped out, likely suffering a muscle tear in his leg. But even in those 90 seconds, Rony showed his progress, and despite the premature end, it was clear he was on his way to victory. The gracious Veličković put his gloves in the center of the cage and announced his retirement from professional MMA. Thank you for all your fights and we wish you the best, champion! Rony’s important victory shot him to the top of the welterweight rankings, where a host of hungry challengers await. We can’t wait to see who Rony faces next.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1158"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL ŠKVOR vs LUCAS ALSINA</h2>Škvor may have spent the last month on the rocks, but it didn’t change his style. His relentless strikes in the stand-up game were too much for Alsina. Škvor relied heavily on teep kicks in the beginning, which kept him at the perfect distance and wore down his Argentine opponent. However, “La Cobra” showed heart and a solid chin. But it wasn’t enough. The beloved "DeeDee" finished the fight via TKO at the end of the second round.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1200"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAMIE CORDERO vs DAVID HOŠEK</h2>Jamie Cordero confirmed his role as the favorite and showcased his quality once again. In the first round, there was a controversial (non) tap from Czech "Sparťan" Hošek, which temporarily threw off the German fighter, but in the second round, he wasn’t willing to leave anything to chance. A quick takedown and hard elbows in dominant position opened Hošek up, and the fight was stopped. A fourth win in a row for Jamie Cordero – who will he face next?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1191"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KAROL RYŠAVÝ vs JAKUB BATFALSKÝ</h2>What a fight! Jakub Batfalský and Karol Ryšavý delivered exactly what fans hoped for – a thrilling battle full of hard exchanges, twists, and ground techniques. Batfalský used his height advantage to great effect and landed several quick jabs early in the fight. "Bomby" Ryšavý wasn’t ready to give up without a fight, engaging in exchanges, trying to bring the fight to the ground, and making life difficult for the young Ostrava fighter. But it wasn’t enough. After three rounds of fantastic action, Jakub Batfalský won by decision.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1188"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ALINA DALASLAN vs ROŹA GUMIENNA</h2>The young German beauty Alina Dalaslan showed her skills in only her second professional fight. Against the more experienced Roźa Gumienna, Alina displayed excellent preparation and toughness on the feet. The German was dominant throughout the fight, and in the third round, Roźa couldn’t resist anymore. Alina Dalaslan maintained her undefeated record, stopping her opponent via TKO.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1181"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ROMAN PAULUS vs AYTON PAEPE</h2>Ayton Paepe made a big impact in his debut. In the first round, he landed a hard knee that shook Paulus badly. In the second and third rounds, the Belgian "Hitman" was in control, and Roman couldn’t find a way to challenge him. Paepe defended well against takedown attempts and was more dangerous on the feet. A well-deserved victory by decision for the newcomer Ayton Paepe.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1201"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAN STANOVSKÝ vs DANIJEL SOLAJA</h2>The spectacular OKTAGON 72 started in great style. The fight between Stanovský and Solaja delivered the expected clash of two styles. Solaja was more successful in the first round, landing precise strikes. But Stanovský knew exactly what he wanted to do – bring the fight to the ground, find the best position, and attempt a submission. The very close fight ended in the final moments of the third round, when the Czech fighter managed to lock in an armbar, forcing Solaja to tap out. In a bloody battle, Jan Stanovský came out on top.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1195"></oktfightcomponent>The biggest tournament of 2025 is officially in the books, and what a night it was!

Two legends, two nations, and the final fight for everything. Both Karlos and Attila are facing the most important fight of their careers, and it will also be their last. In 2019, Végh won the "Fight of the Century," and in 2024, Vémola won the "Rematch of the Century." But only one will become eternal. Will Attila repeat his lightning-fast KO, or will we see a dominant performance from Karlos? The Infinity belt awaits. Everything will be decided this Saturday in the cage.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1127"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MAKHMUD MURADOV vs PATRIK KINCL</h2>We’ve been waiting for this fight for six years. Their rivalry has turned personal, and they want to settle it in the cage. Muradov made his OKTAGON return after UFC with victories over Scott Askham and Yasubei Enomoto. He is currently the highest-ranked male fighter in OKTAGON in the world rankings. Patrik Kincl was the longest-reigning P4P king and middleweight champion. Both fighters are happy with their preparations, so get ready for an intense showdown!<oktfightcomponent fightid="1153"></oktfightcomponent><h2>IVAN BUCHINGER vs VLADO LENGÁL</h2>Buchinger, a European MMA legend, faces ambitious Lengál. Ivan is a former Cage Warriors champion and the first-ever two-time OKTAGON champion. His experience is unquestionable, and he loves to dominate his opponents on the ground. Lengál, known for his resilience and strong striking, will want to prove he belongs among the best. He wanted a fight with the legend, and now he has a chance to show he is a true MMA fighter. Will "Buki" exploit any gaps in Lengál’s style?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1186"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BOJAN VELIČKOVIĆ vs RONALD PARADEISER</h2>Bojan Veličković returns after a year-and-a-half break. The winner of the first season of Tipsport Gamechanger, who has fought names like Jiří Procházka and Darren Till, will face young Slovak talent Ronald Paradeiser, a former lightweight champion. Veličković is technically precise and knows how to adapt to his opponent’s style. Paradeiser, who is moving up to welterweight, will rely on his height advantage and increased dynamism. Both respect each other, but they know how crucial and tough this fight will be.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1158"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL ŠKVOR vs LUCAS ALSINA</h2>Daniel Škvor is truly unique. Barely off the rocks (literally, Dan spent the last weeks rock climbing!), he accepted the fight on short notice against dangerous Lucas Alsina at the biggest tournament of 2025. Yet, he is the big favorite! Škvor has several dominant victories, often finishing opponents in the first round. “DeeDee” is a KO machine and is heading for a rematch with champion Will Fleury. Alsina managed to challenge Vémola and even gave him trouble on the ground, which doesn’t happen every day. The Argentine striker wants to show that he has much more to offer and that he hasn’t said his final word in the light-heavyweight division.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1200"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAMIE CORDERO vs DAVID HOŠEK</h2>A fight that likely won’t go to the judges’ decision. Two fighters, two different styles, and a number of fast finishes on their records. Cordero has 4 first-round finishes in OKTAGON alone. “Sparťan” Hošek is known for his explosive strikes and is a tough opponent regardless of the outcome. Both fighters plan to finish the fight as soon as possible, so fans can expect a dynamic and fast-paced battle between two different styles. Who will impose their will?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1191"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KAROL RYŠAVÝ vs JAKUB BATFALSKÝ</h2>One of the most anticipated prelim fights.

OKTAGON 72 at Eden will be a celebration for all MMA fans.

All three fighters began their professional careers in 2008. However, what may surprise you is that the most experienced in professional MMA is Patrik Kincl, who had his first fight in 2007. At that time, the sport was still in its infancy, and very few people knew about it. Today, MMA is the fastest-growing sport in the world.For context, in 2008, movies like the first Iron Man, which kicked off the superhero movie era, and The Dark Knight, where Heath Ledger memorably portrayed the Joker, were playing in theaters. The iPhone 3G, which was many people's first smartphone, also hit the market. While our veterans started fighting and shaping Czech and Slovak MMA, the world around them was experiencing a technological revolution.<h2>THE BEST OF OKTAGON</h2>Eden will also feature the best of the best who are fighting in OKTAGON. Just take a look at the positions of fighters in the respected global rankings of FightMatrix, and it's clear that this card will showcase a truly world-class level.<ul><li>Makhmud Muradov is ranked 39th in the middleweight division.</li><li>Patrik Kincl is ranked 60th in the middleweight division.</li><li>Karlos Vémola is ranked 68th in the light heavyweight division.</li><li>Attila Végh is ranked 187th in the light heavyweight division.</li><li>Bojan Veličković is ranked 55th in the welterweight division.</li><li>Ronald Paradeiser is ranked 124th in the welterweight division.</li></ul>It's worth mentioning that Attila Végh once reached as high as 17th in the world rankings, a truly impressive achievement! Similarly, Karlos Vémola was among the top 50 in the world. Who will rise again after OKTAGON 72?<h2>THE UNDEFEATED BEAUTY ALINA DALASLAN</h2>The only participant in the tournament with an undefeated record. Although she has only one professional fight, Alina has never lost, even as an amateur or in her K1 matches, where she holds a perfect 11-0 record. In an interview with OKTAGON, she stated that she considers herself the best fighter in her weight class at OKTAGON, and she will have the chance to prove her words at Eden. She faces the dangerous opponent Roźa Gumienna, who has already fought the top of the division and plans to stop the young German's flawless streak.<h2>IS FATE FAVORABLE TO IVAN BUCHINGER?</h2>Ivan Buchinger enters the fight with Brno's Vlado Lengál as a clear favorite. And it's not just the bookmakers who favor him — since 2019, he has alternated between 2 wins and 1 loss, without a single exception! Knowledgeable fans know that "Buki" scored a fantastic win in his last fight against the dangerous Hafeni Nafuka. The statistics are in his favor, but statistics alone don't win fights. Vlado Lengál is strong in striking and will want to showcase his skills on the biggest domestic stage. Will he break Buchinger's streak?<h2>FORGET ABOUT LONG FIGHTS AND JUDGES' DECISIONS</h2>Recent OKTAGON events have clearly shown how fast MMA fights can be. And in front of a packed Fortuna Arena, all the fighters will want to show their best. The card also features several experts in fast finishes. The fastest finish in OKTAGON is held by Karlos Vémola, who won in an incredible 5 seconds. Daniel Škvor won in 26 seconds in a way that few expected – by submission! Rony Paradeiser has three fights under 38 seconds, the fastest being a 21-second victory. A scalp like that against Veličković would be a huge success. Jamie Cordero also finishes fights incredibly fast – against Török, it only took two punches and a KO in 22 seconds. Against Hošek's bombs, it will be an intense battle. Will we see another lightning-fast KO?Eden. The place where it all happens. A packed Fortuna Arena, an unforgettable show, and fights that will be remembered. And you still have the chance to be part of it! Don't miss your chance to see firsthand how the history of Czech and Slovak MMA is being written.

It’s an incredible honor and enrichment for me.Who do you currently consider the best fighter in your weight class in OKTAGON?I see myself as the best in my weight class, especially because I’ve only been doing MMA for two years and have acquired so many skills. I’m constantly working to improve and expand my repertoire.Róża is currently #5 in the division rankings. Do you have any other opponents in mind for the future?There was supposed to be an interim title fight in my weight class in Prague, but it got canceled due to injury.

Jakub Batfalský will fight against the experienced Karol Ryšavý at OKTAGON 72 in Eden. At just 22 years old, Jakub is one of the most exciting Czech talents on the scene. However, at this event, he faces the toughest test of his career. How does he evaluate his opponent, and who does he favor in the main event? Find out in our interview.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c820951b-98f8-4fd0-92ce-97d41ece4e2c/cs.1748867065179.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/1021cdc8-0551-4004-b5ae-d55982eac38b/cs.1748867080757.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent>Hi Jakub, in less than a month, you'll face an extremely important fight, so how do you feel right now? What’s your current form?Hi, I’m glad I’ve got the opportunity to fight at what is probably the sporting event of the year. Plus, against an opponent with such a big name. It’ll be a valuable scalp and a true test of my skills. I feel in the best shape of my life!You’ll be fighting at OKTAGON 72, the best card in the organization’s history. What does it feel like to be part of that?What can I say – I’ve always dreamed of this, and it’s still unbelievable to me how far OKTAGON has come! I’m happy to be part of it.In an interview, you mentioned coming from a football family – now, you've finally made it to a football stadium, but with MMA. What does that mean for you?I see it as an important milestone in both my life and my sports career. I hope there will be more such stadiums (laughs).You’ll face a big name in the organization, Karol Ryšavý. How do you evaluate your opponent? And what do you expect from him?Karol is an experienced fighter in my eyes, with big fights against people like Keita and Legierski. I respect him a lot, but as I’ve said before, he belongs to the older generation, and I want to show the fans what the new generation of fighters looks like.Both of you are strikers – will it be a fight purely on the feet? Or do you plan to surprise your opponent?I consider myself a well-rounded fighter, and I don’t mind which direction the fight goes. I’ll show better skills both in striking and on the ground. I will dictate the pace and the script of the fight.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKSEv4gIciM/?utm_source=ig_embed"></oktinstagramcomponent>A win would be a big leap into the top fighters in the division. Where would you place yourself in the featherweight rankings?I’m not thinking about that right now. I want to slowly work my way up to a title shot, which is still quite a bit away. Being in the top 10 would definitely be one of the milestones that could bring me closer to the title, but I don’t have a specific number in mind.Karol usually fights in the lightweight division, but this time it will be in featherweight. Do you think that will play in your favor?It depends on the perspective – while he may have more trouble with the weight cut, in the fight, he could be one of the heavier and stronger opponents.There’s a lot of attention around Eden – fans, media, etc. Do you feel that? And how do you perceive it?I have a great team that helps me in many aspects of preparation, including dealing with the media and fans. Right now, I’m mainly focusing on the fight – we only have five weeks to prepare. I expect more pressure once I win the fight.I can’t not ask – it’s Judgment Day and the deciding fight in the big trilogy of Vémola vs Végh – who do you favor, and who would you wish victory for?I’ve been a fan of Karlos since I was a kid, and I hope he wins. I’m rooting for him!You’re from a completely new generation of fighters who have mostly been watching modern MMA. Who was your role model when you started with combat sports? And who is your role model now?At first, my big role models were Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos. Over time, I shifted towards the local scene, and the one who inspired me the most was Karlos Vémola.You have two brothers – one is a soldier, and the other is a lawyer. Will they come to support you at Eden? And how do they perceive your desire to fight?My brothers never miss my fights. Both of them will be at Eden, and one of them will be in my corner because I train with him. We all support each other, and I’m glad I can share my successes with them.At 22, managing the pressure in front of so many fans won’t be easy. Is there something that helps you maintain mental and emotional well-being?As Mr. Novotný says – today’s MMA business is also show business, and I approach it that way. I must highlight my team again, who helps me handle the pressure and keeps me grounded.Are you planning anything special for your entrance, or will we see your usual routine?We took the fight almost at the last minute, so there wasn’t much time to plan something special, but maybe we’ll come up with something.What would you like people to say about Jakub Batfalský after the tournament?I’d like to be a good role model not only as a fighter but also as a person. However, I’m still young, and I still need to prove my worth.Will the young Batfalský stand his ground in the fight of his life?

JAKUB BATFALSKÝ AHEAD OF THE CLASH WITH RYŠAVÝ: I WILL DICTATE THE PACE AND THE SCRIPT OF THE FIGHT

Probably every MMA fan has heard of Frederic Vosgröne's name. Or at least his nickname “Neanderthal.” His fight with Jorick Montagnac at OKTAGON 69 became a hit! Fans on the other side of the world even joked about imitating Vosgröne’s unique style. But that was his first fight against a tougher opponent. Now he faces another dangerous striker, and it’s happening at a football stadium on the best card in OKTAGON history. Will Vosgröne handle the pressure and confirm his qualities? Or will reality strike?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/791876aa-1167-4a40-a695-cadadcf519e2/cs.1748613755575.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e60d55bd-9c5f-4465-9b8c-50786ef21c61/cs.1748613761484.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>ONE FIGHT AND A STAR WAS BORN</h2>For some fighters, it takes years and many fights at a high level to become stars. Some never make it. But it took Vosgröne just 4 professional MMA fights and one in OKTAGON to become one of the most followed fighters in the organization. Before his fight in Dortmund, he had just under 10,000 followers on Instagram. Today, he has exactly 400,000 and is still growing! With his unique style, appearance, and charisma, he has won fans not only in Europe but worldwide. Today, you can see posts on his profile with stars from German internet, crowds of fans who want to take a picture with the “Neanderthal,” and training sessions with fighters like Karlos Vémola and Max Holzer. Today, Frederic is a full-fledged star, but how did it all begin?<h2>WORLD-CLASS IN GRAPPLING AND BJJ</h2>Before Vosgröne embarked on his MMA journey, he was among the best grapplers in the world. He has a bronze medal from the IBJJF World No-Gi, won the prestigious Polaris Grand Prix, and defeated names like UFC fighter Reinder de Ridder and former UFC fighter Tom Breese. Both of them are considered some of the best grapplers in the world and each has more than 10 submissions in their MMA career.Now, Frederic is following similar footsteps. 4 fights and 4 submissions. His current record speaks clearly about the kind of fights fans can expect. In interviews, however, Vosgröne has said he would like to score a KO win as well. In his fight with Montagnac, though, it was clear that his striking skills are not yet at a level where he can afford to box with experienced strikers. We’ll see if that changes over time.<h2>CAN ONE-SIDEDNESS SUCCEED IN MODERN MMA?</h2>Vosgröne is a unique phenomenon in many ways. Besides his skyrocketing success on social media, he proved with his pure grappling skills that he could defeat the then #6 light heavyweight Jorick Montagnac, who is not considered an easy opponent in the division. But in the hands of the relentless “Neanderthal,” it looked relatively easy. Can this style work in future fights?Let’s break down how the whole fight went. Montagnac knew that he couldn’t let himself be pressed against the cage. For the first minute, he circled around his opponent, landing heavy strikes. Vosgröne definitely didn’t enjoy them, so he rushed to his legs and performed a grip that would later be seen all over the world. He held Jorick’s ankle, and Montagnac dragged him from one side of the cage to the other like a dangling ball. Even though he eventually escaped the grip, Vosgröne didn’t wait and immediately grabbed him again and again, until he finally wore out the Frenchman enough to get him on the ground. It looked like he was chasing a prey. And once the German grappler got to top position, escaping from it became nearly impossible. Montagnac’s whole effort cost him a tremendous amount of energy, which was evident in the second round. Vosgröne only needed ten seconds to press Jorick against the cage and take him down. What followed was textbook ground dominance, where “Neanderthal” didn’t let his opponent get anything off and, after two minutes, he managed to secure an Arm-Triangle, which choked his opponent out and led to another submission victory.Frederic Vosgröne showed that although he is a one-dimensional fighter, if you master one aspect as well as he does, you can succeed even against more well-rounded opponents. In 14 days at Eden, this German phenomenon will face another big challenge. Argentine striker Alsina was not finished even by Karlos Vémola. Will Vosgröne manage it, and thus move closer to a title shot against double champion Will Fleury?June 14th is just around the corner! Don’t miss this celebration for all MMA fans. Vosgröne, Engizek, Peňáz, the Muradov vs Kincl fight, and of course the final clash of two legends: Vémola vs Végh. You can see all this live!
