Two titles, one night, ten years of history. Štvanice is preparing for a jubilee storm. The card will offer two title fights, returns to the cage, a Czech derby between two young talents, and much more. Get ready for a summer tournament that will rewrite history. Take a look at the complete overview of what awaits us at Štvanice.

LUCIA SZABOVÁ VS. LUCIE PUDILOVÁ

The main event of the evening and the female fight of the century. Undefeated Slovak champion Lucia "Silent Killer" Szabová (11-0), historically the first double champion of OKTAGON, will defend her bantamweight throne against Lucie Pudilová (17-11), historically the first Czech woman in the UFC. The duel was supposed to take place twice already, but was thwarted both times by injury or illness. After more than a year and a half of waiting, they will finally meet at Štvanice. Can Pudilová seize a historic victory and hand the champion her first loss, or will Szabová confirm her absolute dominance and keep her throne?

WILL FLEURY VS. MAKHMUD MURADOV

The highest-ranked men's fight in the history of OKTAGON according to world rankings. Irish champion Will Fleury (17-3) is currently the reigning ruler of two divisions. Originally, he was supposed to defend his belt at Štvanice in a rematch with Daniel Škvor. However, Škvor got injured twelve days before the tournament, so Makhmud "Mach" Muradov (29-8), the interim middleweight champion, stepped into the cage instead. Muradov is moving to the light heavyweight division, planning to thwart Fleury's plan to become the first triple champion. Will Fleury manage to defend the belt, or will Muradov become the first man to defeat him in OKTAGON?

DAVID KOZMA VS. DAVID ZAWADA

A clash of two Davids, which could decide the fate of both. Fan favorite and the longest-reigning champion in OKTAGON history David "Pink Panther" Kozma (33-15) returns to Štvanice after eight years with the goal of confirming that his return to the winning track this year was no coincidence. Facing him is UFC, KSW, and PFL veteran David "Sagat" Zawada (20-12), who is returning to the welterweight division where he once reached the UFC, and recently showed in a tough battle with Daniel Ligocký how hard it is to beat him. Will Kozma find his way back to the top, or will the experienced Zawada send him to another defeat?

HAFENI NAFUKA VS. TOMÁŠ MUDROCH

A clash between a fast finisher and a patient grappler. Tomáš "Ostrava Express" Mudroch (8-2) delivered all eight of his professional wins in the first round and is one of the organization's most dangerous strikers. Against him stands Hafeni "The Namibian Nightmare" Nafuka (12-4), a German fighter with Namibian roots and one of the best grapplers in his division. Will Mudroch deliver another quick finish, or will Nafuka with stand his opponent's pressure and take the fight to where he is most dangerous?

JAKUB BATFALSKÝ VS. VOJTĚCH KHOL

A Czech derby between two young talents in the featherweight division. Vojtěch "Vichr z hor" Khol (3-1), a three-time Czech amateur champion from Patrik Kincl's stable, questioned Batfalský's place in the top ten on social media. Ostrava-born striker Jakub Batfalský (9-2) accepted the challenge with pleasure. Will Batfalský turn his experience into another triumph, or will Khol snatch the biggest victory of his professional career so far?

PRELIMS

DAVID HOŠEK VS. DANIEL SCHWINDT

We probably won't need judges for this one! Local powerhouse and feared striker David Hošek (13-8-1) wants to jump back on the winning track after a loss to Poppeck. He plans to use his famous "grenades" for that. The tough German striker Daniel Schwindt (8-5), who has victories over names like Úškrt or Bartl, has the same plan. Both fighters experienced defeats in their last duels and are now playing for everything. We are in for a brutal shootout where only the one with the tougher chin survives.

MIROSLAV BROŽ VS. RAFAEL ARONOV

A return after twenty-seven months in retirement. Miroslav "The Inquisitor" Brož (17-4-1) hung up his gloves after a loss to Christian Eckerlin, but now he is returning exactly where he made his debut in 2018 at the OKTAGON 7 tournament. He has scalps like Jungwirth, Pukač, or Primeira. Standing in his way is Israeli debutant Rafael "The Cop" Aronov (8-6), who has delivered all eight of his victories so far before the limit. Can Brož jump back into form after a long break, or can the dangerous debutant stop him?

JAKUB TICHOTA VS. FIRAS DAUD

The anticipated return of one of the greatest Czech talents. Jakub "Chimp" Tichota (6-4), a two-time challenger for the OKTAGON featherweight title, returns to the cage after a serious injury. Facing him is German fighter Firas Daud (5-1), who has delivered all five of his professional wins before the limit and debuted in OKTAGON with a close loss to Václav Štěpán. Will Tichota find his form again, or will the German prospect add another quick finish to his list?

ROMAN PAULUS VS. HARUN KURT

Winner of the fifth season of OKTAGON Challenge, Roman Paulus (12-6), has passed through the fire of heavy wars and now needs to confirm his qualities in a new weight category, seeking stability in bantamweight after moving from featherweight. Standing in his way is Harun Kurt (6-0), one of the drivers of the German scene, who as a professional has not yet tasted the bitterness of defeat. Will Paulus manage to stop the German machine, or will Kurt record his seventh consecutive victory?

FREE PRELIMS

IVAN KLEVETS VS. KEVIN ENZ

The beginning of the entire gala evening promises a fantastic spectacle. Ukrainian combat sambo master Ivan Klevets (4-3), training at the Monster Gym in Prague, is riding a wave of four wins and showing that his initial losses were just a hard lesson. Now he will be tested by the youngest holder of a black belt in BJJ in Germany, Kevin Enz (6-4). The top grappler is coming to stop Klevets' rise. Which of the two rising fighters will start the evening at Štvanice better?

Ten years of the yellow-black colossus will culminate right where its greatest stories were written.
