FOTOGALERIE: TOP MOMENTY NEZAPOMENUTELNÉHO OKTAGONU 58

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

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

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

BATTLE OF GENERATIONS: CELEBRITY SERIES GOES BEHIND THE SCENES OF VÉMOLA VS. VOSGRÖNE

One ruled his division for 1,477 days. The other was crowned the "King of Germany" in front of 59,148 spectators in the very same stadium OKTAGON is now returning to. Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank Park will host a collision of two kings on September 26, 2026, as part of the organization's tenth anniversary. David "Pink Panther" Kozma, the longest-reigning champion in OKTAGON history, challenged legendary Christian Eckerlin to a stadium showdown. A Czech legend against a German legend, in a stadium that has already rewritten world records. Who will walk out of the cage victorious?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c8393d38-bca1-4942-a35e-be76a8d4633e/cs.1787656841024.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/844c2f68-e7ba-485c-8c1c-436c93432acf/cs.1787656846420.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>CHRISTIAN ECKERLIN: FROM THE FOOTBALL PITCH TO THE TITLE OF KING OF GERMANY</h2>On the other side stands a man brought into the cage not by the mat, but by the green pitch. Christian Eckerlin (18–8) was born in Erbach near Frankfurt and as a youngster fought his way up to the third-league A-team of SV Darmstadt 98. At the age of 21, however, he decided to leave football behind. He channeled his energy into combat sports and stepped into the cage as a professional for the first time in September 2009. Since then, he has built his home at Frankfurt's MMA Spirit gym.He entered OKTAGON in December 2021 at OKTAGON 29, where he defeated Ioannis Palaiologos by submission. Six months later, he faced Brazilian specialist Denilson Neves de Oliveira. After the fight, the GEMMAF commission overturned his victory to a "No Contest" based on video evidence due to a referee's misjudgement. Eckerlin didn't let injustice stop him and submitted the Brazilian in the fourth round of their rematch at OKTAGON 36. He paved his path to the top with further victories, including one over Miroslav Brož at OKTAGON 57 in Frankfurt's Festhalle.The absolute peak came in October 2024. At OKTAGON 62 right at Deutsche Bank Park, he fought a five-round war with Christian Jungwirth before a record crowd of 59,148 spectators who set a world record for MMA event attendance. He won convincingly on points and was crowned the "King of Germany" right in the cage.&nbsp;In June 2025 in Hamburg at OKTAGON 73, he was stopped hard in the third round by Robert Pukač, and four months later in Cologne at OKTAGON 78, Ivica Trušček added another TKO defeat. The Frankfurt King refused to be broken, however. This March in Hamburg, he outpointed Matouš Kohout and returned to winning ways.Shortly after Kozma's victory over Zawada, Eckerlin responded and accepted the challenge. Just a few days later, the fight was officially confirmed. In subsequent interviews with German media, the Frankfurt King made it clear that he sees the Czech veteran as an even tougher test than Jungwirth was. "There is no better opponent for the stadium for me," declared Eckerlin. Against Kozma, he will step into his 28th professional fight of his career and defend not only his crown, but also his home turf, where he became a legend.<h2>DAVID "PINK PANTHER" KOZMA: FORMER CHAMPION WHO ROSE FROM THE ASHES</h2>David Kozma (34–15) is the living history of the organization. As a quiet boy from a housing estate in Karviná, he was afraid of bullying, so his parents enrolled him in judo at age seven so he could defend himself. He stuck with it for ten years, building a foundation he still relies on today. He always liked wearing pink and, by his own account, was a bit of a "show-off," earning him the nickname "Pink Panther". He began competing professionally in December 2010, earning just small money for fights for years while working night shifts as a security guard.He entered the yellow-and-black cage in March 2018 at OKTAGON 5, finishing Rafał Lewoń via TKO in Ostrava. He waited only until November for his coronation, when at OKTAGON 10 he defeated Gábor Boráros via second-round TKO and became the first-ever welterweight champion of the organization. He then sat on the throne for an unbelievable 1,477 days and defended the belt five times, including victories over Samuel "Pirát" Krištofič, Máté Kertész, and the legendary Petr "Monster" Kníže. Most talked about, however, is his five-round war with Leandro "Apollo" Silva, which he snatched with a torn tongue and practically swollen-shut eyes. To this day, he is the longest-reigning champion in OKTAGON history and holds the organization's record for takedowns (56) as well as total fight time in title bouts (2 hours 17 minutes 50 seconds).Late 2022 brought a fall. Kaik Brito took his belt after a brutal TKO, starting the darkest chapter of his career: a streak of three first-round knockouts suffered against Bojan Veličković, Ion Surdu, and Robert Pukač. Kozma responded radically. After thirteen years, he left PriMMAt Gym and moved under André Reinders at Reinders MMA, had his head checked, and began working with a mental coach. It turned out the problem was not physical, but mental. This February at OKTAGON 84 in his home city of Ostrava, he faced Jozef Wittner, leaned on his judo, secured a unanimous decision with ice-cold composure, and halted the free fall.&nbsp;Even before his August bout with David Zawada at Štvanice in Prague, he declared a bold goal on social media. "German legend against Czech legend, let's make it happen," he messaged Eckerlin. A loss to Zawada would have meant the definitive end of any Frankfurt dreams. But Kozma completed his home assignment flawlessly, outcontrolling his opponent on the ground to surpass previous record-holder Karlos Vémola and become the fighter with the most control time on the mat in OKTAGON history, before defeating the German 30:27 on all scorecards. As soon as the decision echoed through the arena, he grabbed the microphone and repeated the challenge: "I want Christian Eckerlin." Now, in his jubilee 50th professional fight, he is going after the scalp of the German legend right in Eckerlin's home palace.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DbjFJc-MT4u/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>TWO CROWNS, ONE CAGE</h2>The stakes are high on both sides. Kozma is a grappler with the highest number of takedowns in OKTAGON history and bottomless endurance proven in five-round championship wars. Eckerlin is a complete fighter with dynamite in his hands, driven by tens of thousands of local fans. A clash of two legends and two different paths will unfold in the place that has already rewritten world records. Will Kozma conquer the German throne, or will Eckerlin defend his crown on home soil?Ten years of the yellow-and-black colossus will culminate where OKTAGON broke the world attendance record. OKTAGON 94 will light up Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank Park on September 26, and you can't miss it.

KING OF GERMANY VERSUS SIX-TIME CHAMPION: ECKERLIN TO FACE KOZMA IN FRANKFURT

He was only two years old when he arrived in Brno from Ukraine with his parents and had to learn among local boys how to fight for his place. Thirty years later, he is one of the most popular and visible faces of OKTAGON. Andrej "Vagabund" Kalashnik will step into the ring on September 12 at OKTAGON 93 against German fighter Kennedy "Bomaye" Rayomba. Read the story of the fighter and showman who became "Vagabund".<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/67de866b-ef82-4380-bfa3-1c96619aa4e5/cs.1787396322359.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/1df66f3c-f8c3-4a31-a121-f8d093054306/cs.1787396329852.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>UKRAINIAN MORAVIAN</h2>The family emigrated in the mid-nineties, when Kalashnik was only two years old. "In the nineties, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was an economic crisis, it was the wild nineties, so we moved here for a better life," he explains today. A little boy who didn't speak a word of Czech had to assert himself in the Brno group. "I had to show that I belonged here and build respect," he describes his first years in the new country. Today, with perspective, he calls himself "Ukrainian Moravian".He was introduced to sports by his father, who took him as a boy to Bobycentrum, a Brno "fortress" where the toughest Muay Thai battles took place at the time. Wrestling was competitively pursued by his grandfather and father. "Unfortunately, I didn't know my grandfather, but my dad and I used to wrestle, wrestling is in our blood," says Kalashnik. At eleven, he fell for freestyle wrestling completely, and within a few years won four national championship titles among juniors and one among men. He attended a security-focused high school alongside future Olympic wrestler Adéla Hanzlíčková and future UFC star Jiří Procházka. At school, he also studied judo and karate.He was eventually brought to the cage by a friend who invited him as a sparring partner to Brno's Jetsaam Gym. A few training sessions were enough and the decision was made. Kalashnik entered the world of MMA, where he currently holds a 13–6 record. The nickname "AK-47" was coined by his friends as a play on his initials and surname. "I have the initials AK, others called me Kalach or Kalashnikov, so I adopted the nickname," he recalls. He made his OKTAGON debut in April 2019 at OKTAGON Prime 1, where he defeated Gabriel Fukszo by TKO. Since then, he has compiled a record of nine wins and five losses in the organization.<h2>FROM AK-47 TO VAGABUND</h2>"AK-47" conquered OKTAGON with his fists; four years later came Vagabund, a comedic alter ego with which he won the hearts of fans. The turning point came at the end of 2023, right before his fight with Niklas Stolze. "Before the fight with Stolze, I was on the last fight of my contract and I thought to myself that I had to change something. Attention brings sponsors, so I had to draw attention to myself in ways other than fighting," Kalashnik explains his decision. He found inspiration among a group of longtime friends from Brno. "Brno locals surely know the KKRD Boys group, where I have friends and we call each other vagrants or vagabonds. We hustle through street life in Brno. The literal translation is wanderer; in the nineties, it was a street guy type," he describes the origin of the nickname, which he says people in the gym had called him for a long time as well.It exploded completely in April 2024 in Birmingham. Kalashnik knocked out Liam Etebar in 43 seconds and, instead of a classic post-fight interview, grabbed the microphone and sang "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" by The Smiths in front of the English audience. The clip went viral on social media and "AK-47" became Vagabund overnight.Today, 27,000 people follow him on Instagram, he launched his own YouTube channel Vagabund Lajf documenting his "journey through the tough life of a fighter," and is a frequent guest on the podcast MMA LETEM SVĚTEM. Another interesting fact about Kalashnik is that he can identify flags of various countries with 100% accuracy. Last June, he also participated in the reality show Farma Česko. When signing up, he admitted he couldn't even mount a shelf at home, let alone milk a cow. This June, he coached the Czech team in the Tipsport Cage Game project alongside Mikýř, taking it to a victorious finish together.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ---1ut9EI/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>NEVER SHIED AWAY FROM BIG FIGHTS</h2>In the cage, he relies on a wrestling foundation. To his ground game, he added heavy hands capable of finishing a fight in a few seconds. His style is a feast for the eyes for fans. He is creative, constantly active, with unexpected transitions between striking and wrestling. In OKTAGON, he has won the Tipsport Performance of the Night award three times, finished opponents in the first round four times, and has never lost by submission.In September 2021 at OKTAGON 28, he took on Christian Jungwirth, who was famous at the time for being "unfinishable." Kalashnik needed only 63 seconds and a rear naked choke, with which he forced the German to tap out for the first time in his career. Kalashnik has also faced other famous names like Tomáš Meliš, Tato Primera, or Kaik Brito. Last year in Karlovy Vary, he knocked out experienced Máté Kertész in the very first minute of the fight.<h2>SHATTERED DREAMS AND THE NEXT CHALLENGE</h2>A series of three consecutive victories led him in November 2025 to a title fight with Ion Surdu for the vacant welterweight belt right at home in Brno. Kalashnik entered the cage with torn knee ligaments; less than two weeks prior, he was walking on crutches. Even so, he decided to fight. After a wild exchange, Surdu stopped him in the first round by TKO. "A loss on home soil, especially when I was so close to the title. My dreams collapsed," Kalashnik expressed after the fight. "I fought. I have nothing to be ashamed of," he added.To the same city where his dreams shattered ten months ago, he now returns determined to fight for them again. At OKTAGON 93, Kalashnik faces another major challenge. For the first time in his OKTAGON career, he steps up to middleweight. And he immediately clashes with German fighter Kennedy "Bomaye" Rayomba. Will Kalashnik succeed in the new weight class and lead his comeback to a victorious end?OKTAGON 93 will rock the Winning Group Arena in Brno on September 12, and Vagabund is one of the reasons you shouldn't miss it. Secure your spot and be there when he fights again for the heart of the crowd that holds him dear. Tickets available at the link below.<okteventcomponent eventid="136"></okteventcomponent>

THE VAGABUND STORY: KALASHNIK RETURNS HOME TO BRNO

The challenge has been answered! Former champion Patrik "Inspector" Kincl will face elite soldier Dominik Humburger in the main event of OKTAGON 95, a explosive showdown that Humburger specifically requested. On October 17, Karlovy Vary's Mattoni Arena will host a battle between the number two and number three ranked middleweights, with the winner closing in on a title shot. Will the experience and tactical genius of the "Inspector" prevail, or will the tank from Liberec finally blast his way to the title?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/8eba4434-a419-49ec-bf88-53de3f000b73/cs.1787075945772.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a544155f-e143-4ffb-8fe1-180d16b19d7c/cs.1787075957693.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>PATRIK "INSPECTOR" KINCL: COLD-BLOODED STRATEGIST</h2>For local fans, Patrik Kincl is the embodiment of fight IQ and a living legend. The 37-year-old representing Hradec Králové's All Sports Academy burst into OKTAGON like a hurricane, snatching the belt from Samuel Krištofič during his debut at OKTAGON 31 in February 2022 after five rounds of dominant decision control. He then defended the throne for 959 days and ruled the organization's overall pound-for-pound rankings for 312 days. Among his title defenses, the unforgettable rematch against Karlos Vémola at Prague's O2 Arena stands out, where the "Inspector" showcased his tactical maturity and became the first Czech ever to defeat the Terminator. Notable victories also include wins over Alex Lohoré and Piotr Wawrzyniak.Although Kerim Engizek eventually dethroned him at OKTAGON 62, and six months later he fell short against Machmud Muradov in an interim title fight at the Eden football stadium in Prague, the experienced veteran quickly proved he is far from finished. In December 2025, he defeated Robert Pukač on points, and this July in Cologne, Germany, delivered a masterclass performance by dismantling Hojat Khajevand with a precise second-round arm triangle. Kincl holds a 6-2 record across eight fights in OKTAGON and currently ranks second in the middleweight division. He initially rejected Humburger's challenge, preferring to test himself against international elite fighters. However, the situation at the top of the division ultimately accelerated this tense matchup.<h2>DOMINIK "HAMBÁČ" HUMBURGER: A SOLDIER WHO NEVER BACKS DOWN</h2>On the other side of the cage stands seven-years-younger Dominik Humburger, a Liberec native whose life is shaped by strict military discipline—he serves in the Army of the Czech Republic, transferring to the elite Special Forces as a hand-to-hand combat instructor in the summer of 2025, and received a military award directly from President Petr Pavel for his service. He has experienced a meteoric career rise. Having entered professional MMA only in 2021, he has already put nine of his fifteen opponents to sleep via KO or TKO. Remarkably, he has never been finished before the bell, with all three of his career losses coming by decision.Fans remember his entrance to the yellow-and-black stage vividly. In April 2025 at OKTAGON 70, he shocked Karlovy Vary by knocking down Samuel Krištofič in the second round, earning a Performance of the Night bonus. Both Humburger and Kincl share this valuable scalp. Three months later at OKTAGON 74 on Prague's Štvanice, he claimed his second consecutive Performance of the Night bonus by knocking out tournament favorite Mark Hulme in the second round. He became the only fighter in OKTAGON history to win both awards in his first two fights. His run through the million-euro Tipsport Gamechanger tournament reached the semifinals at OKTAGON 77 in Bratislava, where after a battle named Fight of the Year 2025, he lost on points to then-champion Kerim Engizek. Engizek thus serves as another shared opponent in both fighters' storylines. Humburger returned to victory in April on home turf in Liberec at OKTAGON 87, defeating the feared Zebaztian Kadestam on points before openly calling out his next opponent: Patrik Kincl. Humburger currently holds a 3-1 record in OKTAGON and now faces the biggest test of his career.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/oktagonmma/p/DcJoJN2jNFS/?img_index=2"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>MASTERFUL CHESS VS. BRUTE FORCE</h2>This clash promises a collision of two contrasting fight styles. A brilliant strategist with exceptional judo and grappling will meet a relentless physical force and pure striker. Patience and fight IQ on one side, unwavering determination and crushing power on the other. The stakes are high for both fighters. Kincl aims to prove his fall from the throne was merely a setback, not the end of the road, while Humburger gets the opportunity he requested. He wants to defeat the legend he chose and permanently establish himself among the division's elite. The winner of this matchup between two fan-favorite Czech middleweights will take a massive step toward a title shot. Will Kincl prove he still belongs on the throne, or will Humburger write the biggest chapter of his career so far?The biggest Czech fight of this autumn is here!

CZECH DERBY OF THE YEAR: DOMINIK HUMBURGER FACES INSPECTOR KINCL IN VARY

A challenge originated on social media. The answer to it will play out in the cage. Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt will become the venue for another massive battle on September 26, 2026. Experienced Slovak fighter Robert Pukač chose his next opponent himself after his latest sensational fight, finding him in Germany. Standing opposite him will be Jaime Cordero, a walking explosion regularly accompanied into the cage by chaos and devastating finishes. How will the clash between two TOP 10 middleweight fighters turn out?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/ac878eb8-a080-46e7-ae44-14d9a9cd414d/cs.1786625114428.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/d7722203-4a26-4acf-9fa0-6b0955e6d35b/cs.1786625126576.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>ROBERT PUKAČ: THE REBORN VETERAN HUNTS HEAVY HITTERS</h2>“The Prince of Bratislava” Robert Pukač (21-14-1) is one of the longest-serving veterans of the entire organization. He came to combat sports through judo, and under trainer Ilja Škondrič at the Octagon Fighting Academy gym, he gradually turned professional. He entered the cage for the first time in 2010. By the time OKTAGON was created, he was practically a seasoned veteran. That is why he was part of the historically first season of OKTAGON Challenge as a coach. He entered the organization itself in November 2018 at the OKTAGON 10 event, winning on points against Jan Janka.However, the path to the top was not easy. Between 2019 and 2022, he lost five out of six fights, and rock bottom came in March 2022 when he refused to continue after the second round against Christian Jungwirth. Many people wrote him off back then. But Pukač left his long-time home gym and returned as a completely different fighter. Last February, he sent David Kozma to the canvas with a crushing KO, and four months later finished Christian Eckerlin via TKO. A decision loss to Patrik Kincl in December briefly slowed him down, but this June he defeated Brian Manning in a heated bout in front of his home crowd directly in Bratislava. After the victory, he got married and shortly afterward chose his next opponent from the top ten via social media. Meanwhile, he also managed the role of head coach for the Slovak team in the Tipsport Cage Game project.<h2>JAIME CORDERO: GERMAN-PUERTO RICAN FORCE OF NATURE</h2>On the other side of the cage will stand a man traditionally accompanied into action by utter chaos. Jaime Cordero (10-2, 1 NC) grew up in Bremen, Germany, but also embraces his Puerto Rican roots. He discovered combat sports at the age of fourteen through Muay Thai, and today runs his own gym, Elevate in Bremen, which he founded himself and where he trains other emerging talents of the German scene. He fought his way into OKTAGON through the reality show OKTAGON Challenge, during which he first defeated Ibrahim Cholo. Officially, he made his yellow-and-black cage debut in June 2022 at OKTAGON 33, securing a second victory against the same opponent.Since then, he ranks among the division’s fastest finishers and delivered more than half of his victories inside the distance. He dropped Ondřej Raška in 67 seconds, knocked out Gabriel Török with a head kick after just 22 seconds, and submited Ion Taburceanu via kimura in one minute. In OKTAGON, he has lost only twice—by disqualification against Jakub Bahník and via TKO against Marek Mazúch—while his bout with Milan Ďatelinka ended in a No Contest when his opponent had to be carried out on a stretcher following an unintentional elbow strike. In the rematch, Cordero submitted him with a choke. Last October, he also finished Samuel Krištofič via TKO. He is currently riding a five-fight winning streak.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DbV-bVbsppC/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>WILL TACTICS OR AN EXPLOSION DECIDE?</h2>This duel was born on social media when Pukač called for the fight himself. Following his win over Manning, he went straight on the offensive, flooding Instagram with a series of aggressive photomontages and videos to openly demand the matchup. Cordero responded to the challenge without hesitation: “He came to Hamburg five kilos overweight and still managed Eckerlin. This guy called me out, so in Frankfurt I’ll show him that I’m better.” Two different worlds will clash in the cage. Pukač often relies on takedowns, control, and the patience cultivated over sixteen years in the cage. Cordero, on the other hand, is sheer firepower whose fights often end in an instant, whether on the feet or on the ground. Will the Slovak fighter manage to keep Cordero out of striking range, or will the Frankfurt stadium witness another lightning-fast finish from the home fighter?The OKTAGON 94 event kicks off on September 26, 2026, at the Frankfurt stadium Deutsche Bank Park, serving as the culmination of the tenth anniversary celebrations for the yellow-and-black giant. An arena that has already rewritten world records awaits its next huge night, and you can be there. Get your tickets at the link below.<okteventcomponent eventid="125"></okteventcomponent>

A challenge originated on social media. The answer to it will play out in the cage. Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt will become the venue for another massive battle on September 26, 2026.

PUKAČ HAS CHOSEN HIS NEXT OPPONENT. AT THE FRANKFURT STADIUM, HE WILL FACE CORDERO

First came the insults on social media, then the photomontages, and finally the promise of a cruel retaliation right in the cage. This battle was in full swing even before both men meet face to face on September 12 at the Winning Group Arena in Brno. Local phenomenon Radek Roušal headlines a card for the first time in his career, and at the OKTAGON 93 tournament, he will face former Danish champion Jonas Mågård, who is moving up from bantamweight to featherweight for this duel. Two fighters at the top of the food chain, one cage, and a lot of unfinished business. Who will be the first to silence the other in Brno?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/feb8e458-a7fc-4652-90c6-436f8efc0dad/cs.1786454328951.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/138443e4-7d33-4995-9cdb-828b71702850/cs.1786454306576.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>RADEK “RUCHY” ROUŠAL: BRNO SHOOTER TAKES ON THE CHALLENGE OF A LIFETIME</h2>For the Brno audience, this is a pure matter of the heart. Radek “Ruchy” Roušal (7-2) enters his first-ever main event while facing a former champion. The path to the cage was never easy for him. He grew up without a father figure in one of Brno's toughest neighborhoods and built discipline and respect at the heavy bag during Thai boxing training. In June 2022, in a five-round war with Poland's Hubert Rutkowski, he became the historically first champion of the DFN organization.He made his OKTAGON debut at OKTAGON 31 in February 2022, where he eventually lost on points to Michael Deiga-Scheck. Subsequently, he faced names like Marek Bartl, Marco Novák, or Nezar Bahaji. He took a hard lesson in Bratislava at OKTAGON 63, where Jack Maguire forced him to tap to an arm triangle. It was the only submission loss of his career, but it fundamentally opened his eyes. Since then, he hasn't allowed anyone to take him to the ground.Afterward, he started a streak that made him one of the most-watched Czechs in the organization. He gradually swept aside Karol Kutyła and Adrian Hamerski, both by TKO in the second round. Then in November 2025, right in Brno, he knocked Corey Frye down four times within twelve seconds and knocked him out in the opening round at 1:54 – a performance that earned him the Performance of the Night bonus. In the spring of 2026, in Liberec, he settled a personal score with Swedish striker Samuel Bark, whom he sent to the canvas even faster, after only 75 seconds of fighting. Roušal thus holds a streak of four consecutive finishes and has remained undefeated for over 500 days, having never lost by TKO or KO in his career.His life has also transformed outside the cage over the past year. Roušal's fan base on Instagram exceeded 130,000 followers, and his relationship with influencer Nela Slováková is among the most-watched on the domestic scene. However, his partner has become the target of attacks from Mågård in recent weeks, so Roušal comes to Brno not only with a desire for the most valuable scalp of his career but also for a personal vendetta.<h2>JONAS “SHARK” MÅGÅRD: VETERAN IN HOSTILE TERRITORY</h2>On the other side of the cage will stand a man for whom MMA has been a life mission for over ten years. Jonas “Shark” Mågård (19-7) is one of the most experienced fighters on the card. His professional career began in February 2014, almost ten years before Roušal's debut, and in that time he has fought three times as many matches. He trains on two fronts simultaneously, between his home Redline Training Center in Sweden and Manchester Top Team under Carl Prince, which means long weeks of separation from his family and young son in Denmark. This sacrifice is, in his own words, his greatest motivation: “When I fight, it's very personal to me. The opponent is trying to take the bread from my family, from my son.”He entered the organization in September 2021 at OKTAGON 27, where in the first round he choked out Elnur Veliev with a Japanese necktie – a rare submission he has used to finish five opponents in his career. In just his second start in the organization, he claimed the bantamweight title when he defeated Filip Macek on points at OKTAGON PRIME 4. He then successfully defended the belt by finishing the experienced Gustavo Lopez by TKO. As champion, he eventually reigned for 629 days, the longest reign in OKTAGON bantamweight history. He lost the throne in July 2023 at Štvanice, where after a five-round war he fell short on points against Brazil's Felipe Lima.Losing the belt did not break him. Mågård returned and defeated Jack Cartwright and Josh Hill on points. Subsequently, he lost to the current bantamweight champion Igor Severino. He now holds two wins in a row. In Brno, he will compete outside the bantamweight division for the first time in nearly ten years, having spent his entire career in the organization there. He arrives with a clear goal of taking the scalp of the local favorite, Roušal.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DbguFy1MZXM/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>BAD BLOOD AND A FIGHT THAT STARTED OUTSIDE THE CAGE</h2>Even before both men meet in the cage, they began going for each other's throats on social media. Mågård went after Roušal hard from the start. He questioned his English, downplayed his winning streak, and finally targeted Roušal's girlfriend, Nela Slováková. Both began exchanging sharp messages online. Roušal then labeled the Dane a “skinny little rat,” turned him into a carp he was about to catch in a photomontage, and promised him a hard retaliation in the cage.Sport-wise, it is a pure clash of styles. Roušal is an explosive striker with KO power in his hands, who also ranks among the organization's best in takedown defense. In his career, he has defended 54 out of 68 attempts and hasn't spent a single second on the ground in a bottom position in his last four fights. Mågård, on the other hand, is a patient grappler whose matches often go to the scorecards. For the winner, it could also be a stepping stone to a featherweight title shot, a belt currently held by Mago Machaev. One thing is certain: both men have promised that their mutual animosity will carry over directly into the cage in Brno.Brno will experience a night that will be indelibly etched in memory!

SETTLING SCORES IN BRNO. LOCAL HERO ROUŠAL CHALLENGES FORMER CHAMPION MÅGÅRD

A new light heavyweight champion was born, a long-standing ground control record fell, and the bantamweight champion survived the toughest fight of her career. How did the tournament shake up the world rankings and what other moments defined this unforgettable night? Revisit the highlights of the OKTAGON 92 tournament.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/520d558c-47ca-428a-9599-3a1a775ba2f1/cs.1786018627459.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7ca83d18-e0a4-490b-810a-ba57142321b0/cs.1786018635497.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>THE WOMEN'S WAR OF THE CENTURY CLOSED THE CARD</h2>The bantamweight title fight between the undefeated Lucia Szabová and UFC veteran Lucia Pudilová offered a real war. Pudilová flew into the fight aggressively and safely took the first round for herself, but from the second round onwards, Szabová took the reins. She was more accurate in the stand-up, took control on the ground, and gradually neutralized her opponent's pressure at the fence. It only emerged after the fight why Pudilová used her right-hand attacks less and less from the second round: she was fighting with a thumb broken into six pieces, yet she lasted until the final gong. Szabová eventually celebrated a unanimous decision victory, extending her undefeated streak to 12-0 and remaining the only two-division champion in OKTAGON history. She admitted after the fight that it was the toughest test of her career.<h2>A REPLACEMENT THAT CHANGED HISTORY: MURADOV IS THE NEW KING</h2>The story of the second title fight of the evening began twelve days before the tournament. When original challenger Daniel Škvor tore his pectoral muscle in training, it seemed Will Fleury's defense was in jeopardy. The challenge was without hesitation accepted by Makhmud „Mach" Muradov, the interim middleweight champion, who stepped up a division for the first time in his OKTAGON career for this fight. It was historically the highest-ranked men's match in the organization's history.Fleury, who arrived at Štvanice undefeated in OKTAGON, started the duel exactly according to the script. He pushed Muradov against the fence, got him to the ground, and hit him hard in the final seconds of the first round. Muradov went down and was likely saved from a certain finish by the gong. However, a completely different fighter entered the second five-minute round. Muradov immediately headed to the center of the cage and, nineteen seconds after the start of the round, unleashed a shot that sent a dazed Fleury crashing to the ground. He then definitively ended the match via TKO with a final series of strikes. OKTAGON thus crowned a new king of the light heavyweight division, while Fleury tasted the bitterness of defeat in the organization for the first time. After the fight, both fighters showed mutual respect, and at the press conference, the first words about a possible rematch were spoken, potentially even at the upcoming milestone OKTAGON 100 tournament.<h2>PINK PANTHER DEFEATS A LEGEND AND HEADS TO THE STADIUM</h2>For David „Pink Panther" Kozma, this was a fight with huge personal stakes that he had created himself before Štvanice. He publicly challenged Christian Eckerlin to Frankfurt, so he couldn't afford to slip up against Zawada. He eventually succeeded thanks to a practically flawless tactical performance. From the first minute, he delivered precise takedowns, held his opponent at the fence and on the ground, and didn't allow him to find his own rhythm. Although Zawada landed several dangerous strikes in the third round, Kozma confidently managed the finish and walked away with a unanimous decision victory.The performance also had historical significance. Thanks to his flawless ground control, Kozma definitively broke the previous record of Karlos Vémola for the total ground control time in OKTAGON history. Furthermore, the win opened the door to his dream match. Eckerlin has answered his challenge. The clash between the legend of Czechia and the legend of Germany is officially confirmed for the OKTAGON 94 tournament, hosted on September 26th at Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank Park.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/Dbgz7drMpPl/?hl=cs"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>THE OSTRAVA EXPRESS AND OTHER CARD HIGHLIGHTS</h2>The OKTAGON 92 card offered other stories worth remembering. In a thrilling encounter against the dreaded Hafeni Nafuko, Tomáš Mudroch showed phenomenal takedown defense and punished from a defensive position with precise strikes. The „Ostrava Express" thus secured a highly valuable split decision victory after a balanced battle.A Czech derby between two young talents was decided in favor of Jakub Batfalský, who outpointed Vojtěch Khol after a very tactical performance. The first fight of the tournament then took the fans' breath away. Ivan Klevets hit his opponent Kevin Enz with a spinning back kick directly to the chin in the middle of the first round, securing a brutal KO.<h2>WORLD RANKING SHIFTS</h2>The performances at Štvanice were immediately reflected in the world rankings:<ul><li>Makhmud Muradov – by winning the title, he catapulted himself among the world elite, from 36th to 27th place.</li><li>Lucia Szabová – After the toughest fight of her career, she improved from 14th to 12th place.</li><li>David Kozma – a huge leap from 264th to 169th place confirms his return to the winning column.</li><li>Ivan Klevets – with a lightning KO in the first round, he jumped from 931st to 656th place.</li></ul>A natural drop was recorded by the losers of both title matches. Will Fleury fell from 32nd to 42nd place and Lucie Pudilová from 35th to 40th position.<h2>NEXT STOP BRNO</h2>Štvanice is behind us, but the yellow-and-black colossus doesn't stop. On September 12th, OKTAGON returns to Brno, where the Winning Group Arena will host OKTAGON 93. The main attraction will be the highly anticipated featherweight clash between local Radek Roušal and former bantamweight champion Jonas Mågård, whose pre-fight social media banter already promises a truly heated battle.

OKTAGON 92 THROUGH THE JUDGES' EYES: TWO CORONATIONS AND SEVEN DECISIONS

The most beautiful tournament of the year at Prague's Štvanice brought a thrilling spectacle! A magical open-air night delivered a historical milestone when Makhmud Muradov brutally knocked out Will Fleury to claim the light heavyweight championship throne. Undefeated Lucia Szabová and local favorite David Kozma also defended their undeniable qualities in exhausting battles. Who else claimed a valuable scalp in front of the roaring stands and left an indelible mark in the cage? Here are the results of the OKTAGON 92 tournament.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/b8f3808b-1c65-4499-948e-7edc7fef62c0/cs.1785626722815.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/8b866356-3477-4b54-9c16-3fa2fa898f8e/cs.1785626729047.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>LUCIA SZABOVÁ VS. LUCIE PUDILOVÁ</h2>The highly anticipated title fight kicked off with exchanges on the feet. Lucia Szabová landed precise shots right from the start, but Lucie Pudilová soon managed to take the fight to the ground. Although the Czech fighter established a dominant position there, the Slovak champion managed to get back to her feet and ultimately snatched the balanced opening act for herself. The second five-minute round also offered a thrilling spectacle, in which Szabová showed slightly better accuracy. In the third round, the battle moved to the ground again, but this time the undefeated bantamweight queen dominated from the top position. Even though Pudilová stepped on the gas in the fourth round and managed to generate massive pressure, the final minutes of this exhausting war offered an absolute tug-of-war in the cage, with the initiative shifting from one side to the other. In the end, the more accurate Lucia Szabová takes home a well-deserved decision victory from this clash, continuing her magnificent run and comfortably defending her championship throne.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1445"></oktfightcomponent><h2>WILL FLEURY VS. MAKHMUD MURADOV</h2>A historical war that shook the history of OKTAGON. The light heavyweight title fight and the clash of the two highest-ranked fighters delivered a shocking resolution! Will Fleury started the duel with immense pressure and quickly pushed Makhmud Muradov against the fence. However, the experienced "Mach" managed to escape the difficult situation and struck the Irish champion. Fleury kept a cool head, successfully took the fight to the ground, and controlled the progression from a dominant position almost until the end of the opening round. In the final seconds, however, Fleury unleashed a devastating shot. Muradov went down, but the bell saved him from a potential finish. The Irish ruler thus claimed the first round. However, the Uzbek striker flew into the second round and, after just a few seconds, landed another brutal punch that sent a visibly shaken Fleury crashing to the canvas. Muradov didn't wait around and definitively ended the match with a final salvo of punches. OKTAGON thus crowns a new king of the light heavyweight division, while Will Fleury loses his invincibility within the organization.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1467"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DAVID KOZMA VS. DAVID ZAWADA</h2>The highly anticipated clash of the two Davids started exactly according to the local favorite's plan. Shortly after the initial feeling-out process, David Kozma managed to deliver a successful takedown and got David Zawada under him on the ground. There, he easily established clear control, kept his opponent in the bottom position for the rest of the first round, and confidently claimed it for himself. The second round offered an almost identical scenario. The "Pink Panther" once again quickly took the battle to the canvas right at the beginning. Although the German veteran persistently tried to fight his way back to his feet, Kozma constantly pressured him against the fence and forced him back on the defensive, safely securing this part of the duel as well. Conversely, the majority of the final round took place on the feet, where both warriors exchanged several sharp blows. However, a minute before the end, Kozma confirmed his dominance, delivered another precise takedown, and managed the end of the match with absolute ease. Following a mature performance, he celebrates a hugely important decision victory and takes a massive step toward his dream clash with Eckerlin at the Frankfurt stadium.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1470"></oktfightcomponent><h2>HAFENI NAFUKA VS. TOMÁŠ MUDROCH</h2>The clash of styles started sharply right from the very first second. Hafeni Nafuka immediately dove for a takedown, but Tomáš Mudroch displayed exemplary defense and established a dominant position on the ground himself. After a quick return to their feet, the German fighter pushed forward, but the "Ostrava Express" landed hard punches from the defensive and snatched the first round. In the second act, Nafuka managed to fight his way to his opponent's back, where he maintained control for a large part of the round. He then repeatedly threatened with relentless pressure against the fence, took Mudroch down several times, and evened the scorecards. The final five minutes in the cage offered a similar wrestling scenario, which was enriched by sharp striking exchanges. After an exhausting battle, Tomáš Mudroch ultimately celebrates a highly valuable decision victory.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1463"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB BATFALSKÝ VS. VOJTĚCH KHOL</h2>The anticipated Czech derby between two young talents started with tactical measuring. A large part of the opening round took place in a clinch against the fence. Batfalský managed to win the first round. Vojtěch Khol entered the second five minutes with a clear plan to push his opponent against the fence and, after a successful takedown, managed to get him on the ground. In the second round, Vojtěch Khol stepped on the gas, pushed his opponent against the fence, and successfully took the duel to the mat. However, the Ostrava shooter kept a cool head and, thanks to effective defense and more precise strikes, secured this part of the match as well. The final round then saw enormous effort from Khol for a complete turnaround. He delivered another successful takedown and established a dominant ground position. But Batfalský once again confirmed his qualities, managed to fight his way back to his feet, and did not allow his opponent to break the unfavorable course of the match. The Ostrava shooter thus celebrates a well-deserved decision victory after a tactical performance.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1472"></oktfightcomponent>PRELIMS<h2>DAVID HOŠEK VS. DANIEL SCHWINDT</h2>The anticipated clash of two elite strikers delivered a thrilling spectacle right from the opening seconds. Hard punches immediately began flying through the air, and the threat of a flash knockout literally hung in the air. However, the German striker Daniel Schwindt showed slightly better accuracy on the feet, managing to claim the first round. Both fighters flew into the second round at a tremendous pace, and the attractive battle in the cage continued to offer wild exchanges. The scorecards after the second round showed an even score for two judges, while one had David Hošek leading by two points. Even the final five minutes did not slow down the hellish pace. Ultimately, the German representative walks away as the winner from this exhausting and evenly matched war, celebrating a close split decision triumph after a tense wait.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1471"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MIROSLAV BROŽ VS.
