<p>Že bude OKTAGON 62 „BIGGER THAN EVER” je jasné už od oznámení historicky největšího turnaje naší organizace, který dnes navíc oficiálně překonal historický rekord v návštěvnosti MMA. Pojď si s námi kartu projít v číslech, která jen potvrzují, že tohle bude opravdu velký zážitek, nejen co se počtu diváků týče!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/4131eae1-8bf9-4473-b281-c5abb06d9fd3/cs.1728404926226.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e44b771d-73b0-492e-823d-542294f4e285/cs.1728404932938.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><h2>BITVA O KRÁLE NĚMECKA – HVĚZDA ECKERLIN VS. REKORDMAN JUNGWIRTH</h2><p>Začneme vrcholem celého večera, velkolepým soubojem o MMA krále Německa mezi <strong>Eckerlinem</strong> a <strong>Jungwirthem</strong>. Ač je Eckerlin rozhodně rekordmanem co se popularity týče, Jungwirth srovnává skóre na poli rekordů OKTAGONU. Do souboje míří jako jediný Němec, který se stal už dvakrát majitelem bonusu za Výkon večera, prvenství drží i v počtu kopů v zápasech, kterých už soupeřům udělil více než 400 a jako jediný z německých zápasníků organizace má na kontě 3 T/KO v řadě! Tohoto srdcaře určitě není radno podceňovat, ač Král Frankfurtu Eckerlin bude mít ve svém městě obrovskou podporu.</p><h2>KRÁL ORGANIZACE KINCL</h2><p>Tím největším sběratelem rekordů na kartě je bezpochyby <strong>Patrik Kincl</strong>. V současné době je nejdéle kralujícím šampionem, titul střední divize drží už 959 dní a od roku 2021 neměl jiný zápas než titulový! Kromě prvního místa v žebříčku P4P napříč vahami je hlavně druhým nejvýše světově postaveným zápasníkem celého OKTAGONU! A k zajímavostem určitě patří i to, že jako jediný šampion u nás dokázal titul vyhrát na všechny způsoby – tedy na body, submisi i KO.</p><p>Jeho protivník <strong>Engizek</strong> mu ale šlape na paty! V současnosti se drží ze všech zápasníků organizace nejdéle bez porážky a to neskutečných 3465 dní – tedy téměř 10 let – a 13 zápasů! Obdivuhodné navíc je, že se svou bilancí nikdy neprohrál na T/KO.</p><h2>PRVNÍ DÁMA OKTAGONU</h2><p>Tou je rozhodně „Tygřice” <strong>Katharina Dalisda</strong>. Ta všem německým borcům vytřela zrak, když jako první z celé domácí sestavy získala šampionský pás. Navíc je nejvýše světově postavenou zápasnicí z celého OKTAGONU (i mezi muži). Její soupeřka <strong>Mallory Martin</strong> ale není žádná potrava pro šampionku, světově si drží místo třetí a je také majitelkou Výkonu večera z UFC!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e5ff2b09-7dad-495d-bd0f-06cd27ad67a4/cs.1728405641811.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/807ddfbc-9262-4dec-8561-e9e37279451d/cs.1728405648042.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>VĚRNÍ A SKVĚLÍ</h2><p>Jedni se s námi drží od začátku, druzí nás zase doprovodili všude. Vzácný rekord drží <strong>Palo Langer</strong>, který je jako jeden ze čtyř zápasníků stále aktivní od samotného OKTAGONU 1. Pałasz, kterého v sobotu čeká souboj v těžké váze, zase procestoval všechny 4 země, kde se naše organizace objevila. A stadiony protřelí jsou pak <strong>Ilbay</strong> a <strong>Machaev</strong>, kteří si už menší verzi Deutsche Bank Park stadionu vyzkoušeli v pražském Edenu.</p><h2>RYCHLÁ JÍZDA</h2><p>Rychle a zběsile, to platí v případě německé naděje <strong>Topallaje</strong>, který všechny výhry posbíral v 1. kole. Jeho průměrný čas ukončení je 1 minuta a 52 sekund, což by vyděsilo i zkušené borce. Zmíněný <strong>Pałasz</strong> pak stojí na „bedně” hned na dvou příčkách zároveň, v těžké divizi je majitelem 1. a 3. místa za nejrychlejší TKO.</p><h2>TĚŽCÍ SOUPEŘI</h2><p><strong>Langer</strong> nejen pamatuje OKTAGON od samého začátku, ale i jeho vlastní počátky v kleci jsou zajímavé. Úplně první profesionální zápas absolvoval s Machem Muradovem, a to v roce 2013. Takže jestli tohle pamatuješ, smekáme před tebou! Známá jména nerozhodí ani soupeř Maxe Holzera, <strong>Mohammeda Trabelsiho</strong>. Pro fanoušky OKTAGONU nové jméno, ale Trabelsi už měl v kleci známé borce jako je Samsonidse, Coga nebo Grabinski!</p><p><strong>Přepiš s námi historii! OKTAGON 62 na fotbalovém stadionu už za pár dní zaútočí na světový rekord i tři titulové bitvy. Buď u toho!</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="92"></okteventcomponent><p></p>

OKTAGON 62 V ČÍSLECH: NEJVĚTŠÍ I NEJLEPŠÍ! 

<p>Munich is about to witness an intense heavyweight title rematch, and it’s not for the faint of heart! This fight is personal, filled with drama and unresolved grudges that both giants are ready to settle once and for all. What’s the story here?</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a3810247-3933-4b8d-ae72-dc376f0dcad2/cs.1732031383309.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e413be5b-3172-488d-9fc3-c25c79aefb06/cs.1732031389182.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><h2>THE IMMORTAL BOSS</h2><p>What do we know about the current champion? If you’re a dedicated OKTAGON fan, the name Moeil should definitely strike a chord. Ranked #69 globally in heavyweight, Moeil has a fierce temper – not someone you’d want to provoke. The championship belt is nothing new for him; he’s won it three times in other organizations. Moeil, a German with Iranian roots, is unshakable – he even survived an attempted murder in 2015, when someone shot him outside a nightclub. A few bullets to the stomach didn’t faze him; it only made him realize life’s fleeting nature, and since then, he’s lived life to the fullest.</p><p><strong>FUN FACT:</strong> Moeil loves salmon and can eat up to 10 kilos of it in a single week!</p><h2>THE SILENT TERROR TODEV</h2><p>And who is his opponent? These two know each other well, but more on that later. Todev, the Bulgarian powerhouse, isn’t much for words, choosing actions instead. Weighing in at 120 kilos with eight KO wins, he’s pure terror, as Pałasz can attest, having been Todev’s stepping stone to the title shot for the second time. But that first title fight left Todev seriously angered…</p><h2>THAT BELT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE!</h2><p>These two aren’t exactly on friendly terms, and their second clash in the cage promises anything but kindness. Their first bout left fans expecting a quick finish, but the fighters surprised everyone – a tense waiting game, careful tactics, and chilling calm through all five rounds. Then the shocker: the crowd and Todev himself were sure he was ahead, but the judges unanimously declared Moeil the winner. Boos erupted, and Todev’s fiery response only fueled the tension. The argument even spilled over into the press conference. Some fans still can’t forgive Moeil and the judges for the outcome, and now Todev is back for revenge.</p><h2>SHOWDOWN IN FRANKFURT</h2><p>Todev’s mission was clear: to take out Pałasz in front of 60,000 fans and earn another shot at his hated rival, Hatef. Mission accomplished. When the reigning champ entered the cage to confront the victor, the atmosphere turned tense. Moeil’s fiery temper flared as he shoved Todev, and in the process, Palo Neruda took a hit too! Neruda didn’t seem fazed, though – possibly a good sign for Todev.</p><p><strong>How will it end? Watch the heavyweight mega-fight MOEIL VS. TODEV 2 at OKTAGON 64!</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="100"></okteventcomponent>

There’s serious drama behind this heavyweight title rematch. What led up to this huge fight?

THE STORY OF MOEIL VS. TODEV 2: THIS ONE’S PERSONAL!

<p>Wow – a big night for Bratislava and an even bigger one for the fate of individual fighters. Karlos Vémola confirmed his fight with Will Fleury, and the cage saw incredible surprises, rapid finishes, as well as resilient and tough battles. The miraculous Buki showed once again that retirement is far from sight, Apollo dominated splendidly, and Pukač secured a major victory in his hometown. It was a rough night for Roušal and Fodor, as Palokaj and Lapilus left everyone breathless with their wins. Aby engaged in a long and grueling fight with OKTAGON's newest powerhouse, and Zhumagulov lived up to his reputation. Bratislava also celebrated the victories of Cigánik, the excellent Paulus, and Smolková, who dismantled her opponent with a TKO just one minute into the fight.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/fcff78a1-f068-498b-a288-3b472fa41036/cs.1731247414458.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/cabb7f38-4d58-4245-a66f-405131ecc2bc/cs.1731247433973.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p>Read through the tournament, fight by fight:</p><h2>TIPSPORT PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT: BUCHINGER VS. NAFUKA</h2><p>The ending seemed almost like a dream come true for the Slovak fans – the legendary Buki had supporters behind him from the moment he entered the cage. Despite a dramatic first round, which we’ve come to expect from Buchinger, there were some nerve-wracking moments when a quick end seemed inevitable. But he survived, didn’t give up, and it paid off. In the second round, he came at Nafuka with wild intensity, growing hungrier with each strike. Nafuka, caught off guard by this resurgence, quickly became overwhelmed. And after the third minute of the final round, it was clear – there had been enough hits. A Slovak miracle, the best performance of the night. Buki left his gloves in the ring briefly as if signaling a farewell, only to pick them up again during the post-fight interview – he’s not done yet!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1071"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KERTÉSZ VS. APOLLO</h2><p>Years of experience have refined both OKTAGON veterans, from whom we expect top performances. Apollo was clearly better in the first round, controlling the fight with seasoned skill. The second round was more balanced, both in terms of action and scoring. But the final round erased all doubts. Apollo turned the match entirely in his favor, delivering powerful strikes right until the last seconds to make a statement. No one has managed to end Apollo’s reign even in his 42nd career fight.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1067"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PUKAČ VS. DIEDRICK</h2><p>Robo Pukač came out swinging from the first round like a beast. He delivered powerful strikes to Diedrick and gradually won over not only the crowd but also the judges. With superb form and confidence, he slowly dismantled the renowned striker from England. The third round was all or nothing, and Pukač succeeded, outboxing Diedrick and claiming a major home victory.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1034"></oktfightcomponent><h2>RYŠAVÝ VS. PALOKAJ</h2><p>The first round showcased Ryšavý at his best, as fans love to see him – sharp and on top form. Judges saw it similarly, with two out of three favoring him. But then Palokaj took control, dictating the pace both standing and on the ground. By the third round, Palokaj’s superiority was clear – his takedowns proved decisive for Ryšavý. Nevertheless, Slovakia had nothing to be ashamed of.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1045"></oktfightcomponent><h2>FODOR VS. LAPILUS</h2><p>Wow! Before anyone could catch their breath, Lapilus unleashed pure chaos in the cage. He slammed Fodor into the fence and unleashed a barrage of brutal strikes that had even TV viewers shaken. Referee Touš had to stop the fight, taking a bruised hand with him yet again.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1036"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ABY VS. ZHUMAGULOV</h2><p>Two seasoned fighters did not disappoint. Aby sustained a cut on his head in the first round that bled heavily but didn’t slow him down. By the second round, Zhumagulov was in control, with the wound monitored by a doctor, who let the fight continue to its conclusion. In the end, Zhumagulov took the final round, mainly thanks to punches that seemed to belong in a different weight class. Aby fought valiantly, showing little fatigue, leaving fans wondering what might have happened if it went further. A high-quality match and a successful debut for OKTAGON’s new star.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1040"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ROUŠAL VS. MAGUIRE</h2><p>While Maguire entered to a song sung by his sister, Roušal chose his usual prison attire. What followed, however, was unlike anything we’d seen from Roušal before. He won the first round, although his opponent wasn’t far behind. In the second round, Roušal landed a hard punch, knocking the Irishman down. Roušal came close to ending the fight, delivering a flurry of blows until – an amateur mistake. Roušal naively fell into a choke and within seconds, Maguire celebrated a huge win via Triangle Choke. That’s what you call a lost win!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1072"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PAULUS VS. ELONEN-KULMALA</h2><p>A tough fight for Paulus, who had a thrilling journey. The judges favored Finland in the first round, while the second was closer, with two out of three judges scoring it as a draw. Roman Paulus knew he had to go all out – expertly capturing his opponent and securing an impressive Rear Naked Choke in the final round, his third this year in a tremendously successful season. Another victory for Bratislava!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1039"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SMOLKOVÁ VS. SIMPLICIO</h2><p>A home win in spectacular style. Smolková erased memories of last year’s Tipos Arena fight, charging at her opponent with relentless strikes. Within a minute, she had Simplicio on the ground, unresponsive to the final barrage of blows, with the fight stopped at 1:06 by TKO. Wow!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1038"></oktfightcomponent><h2>CIGÁNIK VS. ENZ</h2><p>Right from the start, Slovak fans had reason to cheer. Cigánik put on a stronger performance than his German opponent, winning round after round. He attempted a Rear Naked Choke, displayed excellent boxing, and the judges agreed unanimously that the victory went to him. Congratulations on his first OKTAGON win!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1073"></oktfightcomponent>

OKTAGON 63 TOURNAMENT RESULTS: SLOVAKIAN MIRACLE BUCHINGER AND SHOCKING TWISTS

<p>Local heroes, rising talents, and an unforgettable atmosphere. What's in store for you on Saturday's fight card? Come check it out with us.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/3e305706-3b47-466b-802b-1942681e778c/cs.1731051265386.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e9ac1044-47de-41b4-97ea-03b38f05b58c/cs.1731051271115.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>BUCHINGER VS. NAFUKA</h2><p>Bratislava will witness a massive clash of generations. The legendary Buki steps into his 54th career fight, having collected two OKTAGON titles, a Cage Warriors title, and three championship belts in M-1 Global. Opposing him is Hafeni Nafuka, one of the brightest MMA talents of today, who at 21 years old has already secured 10 wins. His most recent victory was a historic win over Topallaj in front of 60,000 fans. Will experience triumph over youthful momentum?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1071"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KERTÉSZ VS. APOLLO</h2><p>A throwback to the good old days! A match between two OKTAGON veterans promising a world-class spectacle. Former title contender Kertész, who has defeated Jungwirth twice, will step into the yellow-and-black cage for the 16th time. This time, he faces another stalwart, Apollo – the man who bested Eckerlin in front of a home crowd and defeated last year’s Tipsport Gamechanger winner Veličković. With 41 fights to his name, Apollo has never been finished. This one’s going to be huge.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1067"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PUKAČ VS. DIEDRICK</h2><p>Robo Pukač is a name long etched into the annals of OKTAGON. With 15 years on the scene, he’s faced the likes of Kincl, Kertész, and Jungwirth, never shying away from tough challenges. He wasn’t fazed by a sudden change of opponent either, now facing Englishman Ammari Diedrick. Diedrick is on the hunt for a solid win after dismantling one of Slovakia’s best strikers, Hromek. Four of his five victories have come by KO, three in the first round. Will he break the hearts of the home crowd?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1034"></oktfightcomponent><h2>RYŠAVÝ VS. PALOKAJ</h2><p>Slovak fans never say no to "Bombs" from Ryšavý. The champion of the third OKTAGON Challenge is well-acquainted with the scene, so he’s spicing things up by competing in the featherweight division for the second time. Bratislava will surely cheer him on. His opponent, Palokaj, is no pushover. No one in OKTAGON has yet found a way to beat him, and he’s the only one to defeat Dulatov.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1045"></oktfightcomponent><h2>FODOR VS. LAPILUS</h2><p>He’s been with us from the first OKTAGON Challenge all the way to the 63rd event! František Fodor, with six KOs and two submissions under his belt, has seen it all over the years, so a change in opponent doesn’t rattle him. But Lapilus is no ordinary foe – with 37 fights, draws with stars like Coga and Askhabov, several championship titles, and a black belt in BJJ, will even the experienced Fodor be fazed?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1036"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ABY VS. ZHUMAGULOV</h2><p>One of Europe’s best flyweights and a fighter with a huge heart who has already won the most important battle – against life itself. Despite battling cystic fibrosis and cancer, Aby has proven his passion for MMA with two strong title challenger performances. He will face a formidable OKTAGON newcomer – Zhumagulov from the UFC, who had a streak of bad luck but often appeared as the winner in the eyes of the audience. Ranked #67 globally, he has already won three titles in Fight Nights Global and faced tough opponents like Ulanbekov and Nam, securing valuable wins. Can he shake up the flyweight division?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1040"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ROUŠAL VS. MAGUIRE</h2><p>You never get bored with Roušal. Watching this striking ace's journey in MMA is simply fascinating – his progress is evident with each fight. Although his last bout in Bratislava didn’t go his way, he bounced back in Brno and now dives into another match. His opponent might appear inexperienced, but that’s far from the truth. Maguire is a prominent figure in the Irish amateur scene, with three championship titles and a 2017 fight against Jakub Tichota to his name. Versatile and ready to grind out a win. How will the motivated Roušal respond?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1072"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PAULUS VS. ELONEN-KULMALA</h2><p>Paulus has long been considered one of Slovakia’s biggest talents. The winner of OKTAGON Challenge 5 now faces a tough test as fan-favorite Elonen-Kulmala returns to the organization. Once ranked #80 globally, Elonen-Kulmala enjoyed a four-year unbeaten streak and is currently riding a winning wave, having finished his last two opponents early. Will Slovakia be shaken to its core?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1039"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SMOLKOVÁ VS. SIMPLICIO</h2><p>Veronika Smolková embodies emotion and authenticity. After a tough debut in Bratislava last year, she bounced back with a summer victory, showing her determination. Training alongside Lucie Szabová, she seems to be on a promising path. Facing her is a fierce Brazilian Amazon, Simplicio, who recently ended Šormová’s career with a brutal win, sporting an impressive 4-1 record. Smolková will have her hands full.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1038"></oktfightcomponent><h2>CIGÁNIK VS. ENZ</h2><p>Tomáš Cigánik is another Slovak hope. He nearly bested the tough Staines in the third round and shone in the amateur ranks, winning a title in the Irish organization Clan Wars. His opponent, Kevin Enz, is part of the German crew heading to Bratislava, armed with three first-round wins and a black belt in BJJ.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1073"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>OKTAGON 63 is just around the corner!

<p>When Radek Roušal appears on the card, entertainment is guaranteed. His cage entrances are always surprising, and so are his rapidly improving MMA skills as an outstanding striker.</p><p>The summer event in Bratislava was a tough test for him, but he learned from it and continues to move forward like lightning. He made a strong comeback in Brno, proving he’s not afraid to go the distance in challenging bouts.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/68b7aac3-2609-4181-b2a7-93f587936f98/cs.1730814134602.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/5162e680-afd4-4857-8f22-c8d15ca7b4b4/cs.1730814141485.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p><strong>Who will be waiting for him in the capital this time?</strong></p><h2>NEWCOMER? NOT A CHANCE</h2><p>At first glance, it might seem that Jack Maguire, like Roušal, is at the start of his MMA career and still getting his feet wet in the cage. But the reality is quite different! Maguire is a prominent name on the Irish amateur scene, boasting 15 amateur fights under his belt, making him far from a novice in MMA. He had his first fight back in 2015!</p><h2>THREE-TIME CHAMPION</h2><p>And it doesn’t stop at his cage experience – he was a true amateur ace. He has collected three championship titles in three different organizations. He can grind out victories by decision but is also no stranger to knockouts. Will he have the edge over Roušal?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1072"></oktfightcomponent><h2>FOUGHT TICHOTA AS WELL</h2><p>And here’s something interesting: the hot-blooded Irishman isn’t as distant from the Czech-Slovak scene as it might seem! In 2017, as an amateur, he fought Jakub Tichota at the IMMAF World Championships, already facing one of the biggest Czech talents.</p><p><strong>Will Roušal be in danger? OKTAGON 63 in Bratislava is just days away – BUKI, APOLLO, KERTÉSZ, PUKAČ, and more heroes in action.</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="99"></okteventcomponent>

Jack Maguire is no newcomer to the world of MMA. Who will he face in Slovakia?

IRISH STAR FROM THE AMATEURS! MAGUIRE HEADS TO OKTAGON

<p>A fight no one saw coming is heading to Bratislava! And it will be a true test on home turf – defending Slovakia’s honor will be none other than the legendary Ivan Buchinger. Let’s dive into the story behind this monumental fight.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6647a418-e889-45e4-aeb0-40ab85e9f756/cs.1730732019699.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/23af28d0-37bf-4057-9289-17a47fe7c2d1/cs.1730732029815.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>CLASH OF GENERATIONS</h2><p>38 years old with 53 fights versus 21 years old with 11 fights. This will be a battle of the old school versus the new generation, featuring one of Germany’s top MMA talents who’s been dominating the scene. Buchinger has faced this challenge before – just last year, Jakub Dohnal tried to take him down, only to witness Buki’s resurgence, proving retirement was not an option. Will Nafuka be the one to dethrone the legend in front of a home crowd? Or will we once again see Buchinger’s incredible conditioning and unmatched experience shine through?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1071"></oktfightcomponent><h2>OKTAGON RECORD HOLDER</h2><p>Ivan Buchinger is a legend for good reason. He holds numerous records in OKTAGON, with an impressive 36 finishes before the final bell. Not only was he a two-time OKTAGON champion, but also a three-time M-1 Global king and a Cage Warriors champion! He has dismantled seasoned warriors and upstarts alike, all of whom aimed to make a name at his expense – in vain.</p><h2>THE BIGGEST TALENT ON THE SCENE?</h2><p>Who is Hafeni Nafuka, the man stepping up to face Buchinger? As an OKTAGON fan, you likely already know the threat he poses to Bratislava. At just 21 years old, he has already fought 11 times, with only one loss to his name and eight victories secured before the limit. His most recent win, handing Topallaj his first career defeat in front of 60,000 fans, was nothing short of spectacular. But this is undoubtedly the biggest challenge he’s faced so far. Will he be the one to take Buki out of the game?</p><p><strong>This is a fight you cannot miss! The BUCHINGER VS. NAFUKA showdown at OKTAGON 63 in Bratislava – don’t miss it!</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="99"></okteventcomponent>

OKTAGON 63 has announced a fight that could redefine Slovak MMA forever.

WILL THIS BE BUCHINGER'S END?! BRATISLAVA AWAITS A MEGA FIGHT

<p> We’ve reached a major milestone – OKTAGON 62 set a world record, rewriting not only global history but also our own, yellow-and-black story. In collaboration with the&nbsp;&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/mma_statistix/">@mma_statistix</a> profile, we bring you a unique overview and statistics, starting from the very first OKTAGON event!

So, we’re getting close to <strong>1,000</strong>! Note to self: remind the production team to make a cake with 1,000 candles.</p><h2>HEADING TOWARD A MILLION</h2><p>Ticket sales have far surpassed the cake limit. Our organization has sold over <strong>530,000</strong> tickets, so we’re on the road to a million. To put it into perspective, printing that many tickets would take about 10 days. Luckily, we’re eco-friendly! And just to be clear, following counts exclude UNDERGROUND events, otherwise, we’d probably lose track.</p><h2>OKTAGON MARATHON? PLAN YOUR VACATION</h2><p>If you’re planning to binge-watch from OKTAGON 1, we recommend informing your workplace. The total viewing time is <strong>4 days, 18 hours, 36 minutes, and 29 seconds</strong>. We hope your boss is a fan too!</p><h2>KO, SUBMISSION, OR DECISION? THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE</h2><p>Things get wild in the OKTAGON cage, and sometimes the judges might get bored! Finishes before the limit are much more common than decisions. There have been <strong>284 KOs</strong> and TKOs, and <strong>152 submissions</strong>, across <strong>16</strong> different submission techniques. In the first round, fights ended 262 times, more often by KO. A total of <strong>280</strong> fights have gone the distance and ended by decision.</p><h2>DRAWS? NOT REALLY!</h2><p>Draws are rare here – it’s usually all or nothing. Across 62 events, there have only been <strong>7</strong> draws, with two "no contests" (can you remember who caused them?). And only <strong>1</strong> disqualification, so thank you to the fighters for behaving honorably in the cage!</p><h2>A FULL PLANE OF FIGHTERS</h2><p>A total of <strong>540</strong> fighters have competed in the yellow-and-black cage. That’s about the same capacity as a full Boeing 747, 10 buses, or one large school! We’re considering whether to send them all on vacation or start the OKTAGON University.</p><p>Needless to say, we offer you the best. Currently, OKTAGON boasts <strong>26 fighters</strong> in the world’s top 100, and <strong>40</strong> in the top 150. Come see their quality in action!</p><h2>A CAGE ON WHEELS: WHERE DID WE LIKE IT THE MOST?</h2><p>OKTAGON has traveled far and wide. We’ve visited <strong>4 countries, 17 cities, and 30 arenas</strong> and stadiums! Our most frequent stop is Prague, where we’ve hosted <strong>20 events</strong>. And we’ll be back in December at the O2 Arena, where tickets are selling out fast, so don’t miss out!</p><h2>NOT ALL EVENTS ARE THE SAME!</h2><p>And what about the events themselves? You probably already know a lot about the latest OKTAGON 62, so let’s look back at history.</p><p>For example, the event with the most fights on the card was a record <strong>13</strong>, which happened at OKTAGON 3, 30, and 33. Just to clarify, our matchmakers are not into numerology or the number 3...</p><h2>WHERE DID THE FIGHTS END QUICKLY, AND WHERE DID THE JUDGES SWEAT?</h2><p><strong>OKTAGON 18</strong> passed like a tornado, with its fights lasting just a clean <strong>46 minutes</strong> – none of the 10 bouts went to the judges, and most ended in the first round. To those who arrived later that evening, we sincerely apologize...</p><p>On the other hand, <strong>OKTAGON 61</strong> in September in Brno was a true marathon – if you thought it was the longest event ever, you guessed right. It broke the record not only in length but also in the number of fights that had to go to the judges. Fighters took their time, battling it out for <strong>2 hours and 26 minutes</strong> in the cage. Not to mention the battle with sleepiness at 1 AM during the press conference!</p><h2>FINISHES GALORE</h2><p>Blink, and you would’ve missed <strong>OKTAGON 12</strong> – where a record number of KOs and TKOs were set in one night, totaling <strong>9</strong>. At <strong>OKTAGON Prime 3</strong>, submissions were in the spotlight, with fighters delivering <strong>6</strong> submissions that evening.</p><h2>WITHOUT YOU, IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN</h2><p>What a ride, right? And we sincerely thank you for it! Stick with us for more historic moments that we’ll continue to create together. <strong>The plan for next year is already out, so pick a show and enjoy the best European MMA action for yourself!</strong></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBEoQc7MwZA/?img_index=1"></oktinstagramcomponent>

700 FIGHTS, ONLY SEVEN DRAWS: EIGHT YEARS OF OKTAGON IN NUMBERS

<p>Trušček is a phenomenon you don’t see often. With his incredible record, he has surpassed even the legendary Buchinger securing the number one spot for the most fights. This is an insane stat for the guy who’s already gearing up for his arrival in Bratislava.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c64c06bf-3645-4f97-afe0-39d40693ec41/cs.1729695129867.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/0cf54273-22d6-4979-a041-b68bf1902efa/cs.1729695134954.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>MORE WINS THAN BIRTHDAYS</h2><p>He started his professional career in 2007 and has been stepping into the cage for over <strong>17 years</strong> now. And he doesn’t take it easy—he’s one of the most active MMA fighters, with a record that’s hard to keep track of: <strong>83 fights</strong>, <strong>44 wins</strong>, and <strong>41</strong> of them before the final bell! He’s scored 24 KOs and 17 submissions. He’s celebrated more victories than birthdays—and <strong>at</strong> <strong>36</strong>, retirement doesn’t seem to be on the horizon. Quite the opposite. While others are bowing out, he’s unstoppable. Throughout his career, he’s <strong>fought in four weight classes</strong>—featherweight, lightweight, middleweight, and now mostly welterweight.</p><h2>ON A ROLL</h2><p>Trušček has been on a hot streak recently. Things got heated at the weigh-ins when Akipa went after him, leading to a wild brawl. But karma bit the younger German back, as the experienced fighter choked him out in the second round the next day. Just a few weeks later, Ivica was already stepping into another fight at FNC, and again—victorious! Will he get his third win in Bratislava?</p><h2>PUKAČ IS WAITING!</h2><p>Next up for him is Robo Pukač, who’ll be waiting for him on his home turf in Bratislava. Pukač may not have 100 fights under his belt yet, but he’s seen plenty of action in the cage and knows OKTAGON like the back of his hand. The “Bratislava Prince,” who’s only four years younger, will be aiming to claim a home victory at all costs. But it seems like this Croatian dynamo just can’t be stopped lately...

GET IN THE OKTAGON! NERUDA CUP IS CHANGING THE GAME

<p>That was something! The biggest MMA tournament in the world exceeded all expectations. Germany knows its king, while Czech fans lost theirs in a brutal fight. Names like Coga and Holzer sent the crowd into absolute madness, heavyweights reminded everyone how hot their blood boils, and Will Fleury stirred up trouble in the light heavyweight division. 60,000 fans had their blood freeze in their veins as Dalisda lost her title. Simply unforgettable.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c433017f-5f8f-426c-a012-180d7fce176a/cs.1728772505322.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/ba9bfaa3-ad2c-4ef0-8b22-1d9bfc1aa414/cs.1728772514094.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p>Check out the results of all the matches with us and relive the duels of this incredible night.</p><h2>ECKERLIN VS. JUNGWIRTH</h2><p>What happened at the stadium when Germany's two biggest stars walked out is hard to describe. As Jungwirth entered, the entire arena sang along, forming a massive choir with a world record crowd. Then it was time for the home king, who didn’t skimp on the show. The stellar performances continued after the grand entrance accompanied by a rap star—Eckerlin kept scoring, even on the scorecards. Round after round, he had the upper hand over Jungwirth, although the referee had to step in several times to remind him of the rules. The king of Stuttgart was losing more and more, succumbing to hard punches and ground pressure. When Jungwirth failed to surprise in the last round, the outcome was clear. Jungwirth fought with his heart, as always, but it wasn’t enough for the new OKTAGON belt. Welcome the king, Eckerlin!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="943"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KINCL VS. ENGIZEK</h2><p>Kerim Engizek’s entrance naturally left no one in the stadium cold. Czech fans got to experience what it’s like when the crowd boos their beloved champion, Kincl, on a grand scale. Engizek’s fans kept pushing him forward, while they let no mistake from the Czech representative go unnoticed. The audience enjoyed all five long rounds. Both fighters were very cautious, but Engizek showed just a bit more courage. And it paid off—round by round, he read Kincl better and better. By the fourth round, there was a glimmer of hope for the champion, but it was just a flicker. The judges were clear from the start, only occasionally scoring a round as even. And so, to the delight of the crowd in the arena and the disbelief of Kincl’s fans, the longest-reigning current champion was dethroned. A historic moment at a historic tournament.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1021"></oktfightcomponent><h2>COGA VS. RAČIĆ</h2><p>Max Coga's fight wasn’t for a title, but it was more than special for the audience—the home superstar’s arrival at OKTAGON was as stellar as expected. In the cage, both men set a brutal pace—and while Račić got in some action in the first round, he didn’t stand a chance in the second. The brutal KO that Coga delivered caused a frenzy in the crowd. The arena was on its feet, and the roar could be heard beyond the state borders. A dream for Coga and the 60,000 fans in the arena.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="952"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SAMSONIDSE VS. TORRES</h2><p>Niko Samsonidse promised that after ten months of injury recovery, he would return stronger and better. And these weren’t empty promises. The German fighter was truly hungry for victory, and his hunger was felt throughout the massive stadium. During the second round, he lived up to his words by choking out Torres. "One Love" is back in the game!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1022"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TODEV VS. PAŁASZ</h2><p>The heavyweights put on a show like only these giants can. The first round didn’t bring much drama, and the judges favored Pałasz. But in the second round, the tables turned. Todev took control and then destroyed his opponent with strikes, causing him to collapse gradually, until he fell completely. The KO is secured, and Todev will fight for the title once again.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1024"></oktfightcomponent><h2>HOLZER VS. TRABELSI</h2><p>Max Holzer won over the crowd even before the fight started, earning the title of Fan Favorite by entering the cage on a scooter in his usual humorous style. The crowd decided to fight alongside him and cheered him on loudly from the first round. Holzer delivered total dominance—first with punches, then on the ground, crushing Trabelsi everywhere and steadily increasing the pace. It paid off not to let up. Just before the end of the fight, he managed to finish his opponent on the ground, securing a TKO win! A 9-0 record and a frenzied arena—this is a career whose stardom is reaching for the skies!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1043"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TIPSPORT PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT: DALISDA VS. MARTIN</h2><p>Surprise of the evening? For the full stadium, definitely the shock of the year… Mallory Martin stepped into the cage as a completely different fighter than the one Dalisda faced the first time. From the very start, Martin overwhelmed the shocked champion, and tens of thousands of spectators held their breath more and more. The first three rounds went to Martin, which undoubtedly shook Dalisda’s confidence. This only made it easier for Martin, who took her time and meticulously dismantled the champion, leaving the stadium in shock. We wouldn’t want to be in John Newman’s shoes, who had to try and lift the frozen crowd’s spirits. And Martin? The best performance of the night, a huge success and the start of a new chapter. A proud coach Velicković stood in the corner. Wow!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1031"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MACHAEV VS. HENDIN</h2><p>This was a fight every MMA fan had to appreciate. Both fighters put on a high-level performance, and we could only marvel at their exchanges, textbook wrestling, and technical prowess. As Karlos said, despite the chilly weather in the stadium, these two fighters broke a sweat in the demanding three rounds. The first round was close, but Machaev clearly dominated the following ones and took home a unanimous decision win.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1023"></oktfightcomponent><h2>LANGER VS. FLEURY</h2><p>The bell rang, and the fairy tale was over. All the fans of the unique Langer had their hearts broken, as the tornado named Fleury was too much for him. After a minute and a half, the bold Irishman delivered a devastating KO, and Langer hit the canvas. It’s now clear that the light heavyweight division has a new shark in its waters. After his epic victory, Fleury called out Karlos Vémola, who has yet to respond decisively to the challenge.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1014"></oktfightcomponent><h2>NAFUKA VS. TOPALLAJ</h2><p>Here, too, the audience showed that they were enjoying the night to the fullest, not hesitating to express both their support and their dissatisfaction loudly. Hafeni Nafuka dominated the fight, but it was through a rather static ground game, with few strikes thrown. Topallaj was devastated by his loss on points, but even Nafuka didn’t show much enthusiasm. His post-fight interview was met with loud boos… A bittersweet, yet valuable win for Nafuka.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1012"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ILBAY VS. DEIGA-SCHECK</h2><p>The first fight of the evening warmed up the audience perfectly. Ilbay wasted no time, landing a KO on his Brazilian opponent just three minutes into the fight, getting the crowd on their feet. Congratulations, that’s what we call the “opener” of the year!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1020"></oktfightcomponent>

How did the biggest MMA tournament in history turn out, and who made their mark as the winner?

RESULTS OF OKTAGON 62: THE KING WAS CROWNED!

<p>Endurance, calm, and composure – these were the key aspects of tonight. Rony and Keita will face off in a breathtaking final of the Tipsport Gamechanger million-dollar pyramid. Muradov nailed his comeback, while Pudilová had a tough welcome back from the UFC. The home crowd in Brno was delighted by the local trio Kalašnik, Lengál, Roušal, and of course, the fantastic Hron in his final dance in the cage. On the other hand, the dream was shattered for Tichota, who was cruelly handled by Staines, and it was similarly bitter tonight for Sanikidze. The evening started off well for the local fighter Stanovský and also for Sardari, who both showed great form.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/9fad2fc9-a44e-488e-892c-d3b5a558e984/cs.1727006566925.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/d9e7f4fa-e4df-4fb1-ad84-239cf130b43a/cs.1727006575266.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p>How did things unfold in Brno, fight by fight?</p><h2>PARADEISER VS. DUQUE</h2><p>Good things come to those who wait. And today, that was especially true for those hoping for a beautiful, quick finish at the very top of the evening. Rony Paradeiser once again showed that he's enjoying the absolute peak of his career, skillfully capitalizing on his Spanish opponent's mistake, leaving him no second chance. He earned the Performance of the Night award and secured his place in the million-dollar final in just a minute and a half, also putting his OKTAGON lightweight championship belt on the line. We have something to look forward to!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1010"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MURADOV VS. ASKHAM</h2><p>A performance that impressed Karlos Vémola and Jiří Procházka at the microphones – that was Muradov's return from the UFC. Askham is a world-class opponent, but Muradov relentlessly pursued his goal. He systematically and persistently wore down the Englishman, showing no fear of ground techniques and eventually also dominating the stand-up game. No reckless attempts, just an incredibly confident performance that all three judges rewarded with points. Welcome back, Mach, this was magnificent!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1005"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KEITA VS. LEGIERSKI</h2><p>This fight was a tough nut to crack even for experienced bettors, and there was no clarity even after it began. Keita once again showed a slightly different side tonight than what we're used to. Both fighters were unusually cautious, aware of the danger in the cage and the gravity of the situation. A few precise strikes and a clear win by decision sent the Belgian star to the final of the elite pyramid. Now, we get to see a showdown between two real rivals.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1009"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PUDILOVÁ VS. BOLANDER</h2><p>The determined and spirited Bolander gave Pudilová a real challenge. The Czech star was tough in the stand-up, even delivering a bloody nose blow in the first round! But things took a turn when the Norwegian fought back and surprised Pudilová, like when she threw her to the ground. A tense and thrilling fight where Bolander kept pushing, and neither woman slowed down. Pudilová narrowly won by decision, but it wasn’t an easy comeback! As for Bolander? She surely gained more than just bloody scars tonight – she’s earned plenty of new fans.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1007"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KALAŠNIK VS. PALAIOLOGOS</h2><p>Kalašnik didn’t hold back from the start, but as we know, Palaiologos is a tough and unpredictable opponent, which was confirmed again today. However, the Greek's patience didn’t pay off. "Vagabund" performed well in the stand-up, and the final takedown nearly became his undoing when he almost landed an illegal knee. He was penalized with a point deduction, but otherwise, he fought with all his might on home soil, and it paid off. A big win for Kalašnik!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="949"></oktfightcomponent><h2>LENGÁL VS. FRY</h2><p>This was nerve-wracking. Lengál’s fighter’s heart was beating stronger than ever. Fry wasn’t easy to outsmart, confirming his reputation as a dangerous opponent, especially when he landed a precise head kick on Vlado and continued with kicks to the body. But with Lengál, you don’t mess around in the stand-up. While the first round was fairly balanced, in the second, the local favorite started asserting himself. At 2:25, he delivered hard knees to his opponent and confidently finished the fight before the limit.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="950"></oktfightcomponent><h2>HRON VS. SIKKING</h2><p>The last dance of a long and incredible career! According to UNDERGROUND rules, Hron got his rematch with Fred Sikking, who wanted to settle the score with the Czech legend. The Czech fighter enjoyed his final ride thoroughly and showcased everything he had learned over the years – unleashing brutal strikes of all kinds and giving Brno an amazing shootout. After the first round, the doctor stopped the battered Sikking, and it was clear – Hron defeated his opponent for the second time, this time before the limit. The winner then ended his career in an unusual way, handing one of his gloves to his coach. We can only speculate what this means.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1019"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SANIKIDZE VS. CARTWRIGHT</h2><p>Once again, it didn’t go well for Sanikidze in the bantamweight division. At the start, it looked like a very promising chokehold that Cartwright nearly succumbed to! But it didn’t work out. From then on, the British fighter took control of the game. There was no shortage of submission attempts from both sides, but Cartwright had the upper hand today. This was confirmed by a unanimous decision win.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1013"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TICHOTA VS. STAINES</h2><p>A clash of two massive Czech talents brought some truly intense moments. Staines stormed into the fight from the very beginning, landing punches that Tichota will likely remember for a long time. Staines may seem shy at home, but in the cage, he once again transformed into a determined beast, and the Czech representative didn’t have it easy at all. All three rounds were painful for Czech fans and Kuba Tichota alike, and today, England celebrated. We think Staines is now striking fear into even experienced fighters!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1017"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ROUŠAL VS. BAHAJI</h2><p>Ruchy prepared his favorite prison entrance for Brno and kind of trapped himself in the fight as well. The two men relentlessly tested their strength on the ground and in the clinch, and the Czech striker didn’t hold back with powerful punches, landing 125 significant strikes compared to his opponent's 25! Tonight was all about endurance and keeping a clear head. He kept using every weapon he had against his opponent. And it paid off – Ruchy didn’t back down! Brno couldn’t have been happier when Roušal earned a hard-fought decision victory.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1011"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KORKMAZ VS. SARDARI</h2><p>Although Korkmaz has amazed fans twice before and even gave Rony a tough time, tonight wasn’t his night. Sardari delivered harsh and well-aimed strikes, leaving Attila mainly in defense, trying to withstand everything his opponent threw at him. Only at the end of the second round did he come back with a solid head kick, dramatically intensifying the situation in the cage. In the third round, though, everything returned to normal, and Sardari earned second victory of the evening, also by decision.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1015"></oktfightcomponent><h2>STANOVSKÝ VS. SHADRIN</h2><p>The Czech fighter with Greek roots gave Shadrin a tough time right from the start. Gleb felt more comfortable in the stand-up, so Stanovský didn’t hesitate to take the fight to the ground, both in the first and second rounds. It wasn’t a clear domination, as Shadrin landed some solid kicks, but both rounds went to the local fighter. It became clear that the Greek would have to go for a finish, but it didn’t work out. Brno celebrated as Jan Stanovský earned a well-deserved decision victory</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="985"></oktfightcomponent>
