<p>OKTAGON 70 startuje už dnes v 18:00. Karlovarská KV Arena plná natěšených fans zažije historickou noc. 4 zápasy Tipsport Gamechangeru, titulový zápas žen a řada jmen, které pomáhala psát příběh OKTAGON MMA. Projdi si celou kartu zápas po zápase, ať ti nic neuteče!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/4c0eb8a4-9946-4a8a-8e2b-f5c195413685/cs.1745659412177.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/d41a0575-de56-4138-a200-eff91d0a3e76/cs.1745659418313.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>SAMUEL KRIŠTOFIČ vs.&nbsp;DOMINIK HUMBURGER</h2><p>Zkušenost proti hladové nové krvi. Duel, který otevře novou kapitolu střední váhy. Samuel „Pirát“ Krištofič je stálicí OKTAGONu, bývalým prozatímním šampionem a jedním z největších jmen organizace. Po dlouhé pauze se vrací do klece, aby ukázal, že stále patří mezi elitu a že jeho tvrdost a zkušenosti nezmizely. Pirát má za sebou bitvy s nejlepšími a teď je připraven předvést další lekci. Proti němu stojí Dominik Humburger, voják z povolání a nebezpečný talent, který přichází z polské KSW a hned při svém debutu v OKTAGONu míří vysoko. Disciplinovaný, silový a extrémně hladový po úspěchu – pro Dominika je tenhle zápas životní šancí zapsat se mezi nejlepší. Pirát chce potvrdit svou legendu, Hambáč chce napsat svůj příběh. Dva světy se střetnou v hlavním zápase OKTAGON 70 – a jeden z nich padne. Kdo to bude?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1108"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VLASTO ČEPO vs ERHAN KARTAL</h2><p>Dva zapálené dynamity vhozené do klece, připravené vybuchnout – tak by se dal popsat střet Vlasta Čepa a Erhana Kartala. Slovenský showman, miláček fanoušků a vítěz OKTAGON Underground je známý svou nekompromisní silou a schopností rozhodnout zápasy během pár vteřin. Čím větší tlak, tím větší výkon. A comeback do Tipsport Gamechangeru bere jako misi. Jenže naproti němu bude stát nebezpečný Erhan „No Mercy“ Kartal – německý bojovník s tureckými kořeny, který má na svém kontě 12 výher, z toho 9 ukončil před limitem. Sám sebe označuje za zvíře v kleci – a právě tohle zvíře se teď chystá zkrotit El Chapo. Fanoušci tvrdých přestřelek, pozor – tenhle zápas může skončit dřív, než si stihnete objednat popcorn. Kdo zůstane stát?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1117"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ION SURDU vs KRZYSZTOF JOTKO</h2><p>Zápas vysoké mezinárodní úrovně. Favorit proti favoritovi. Ion Surdu, současný šampion welterové váhy OKTAGONu, tentokrát opouští svou komfortní zónu a vyráží do střední váhy s jediným cílem – udělat průlom v evropské lize mistrů MMA pyramidě Tipsport Gamechanger. Jeho styl je rychlý, dravý a nečitelný. Surdu se nebojí riskovat a díky tomu si získal srdce tisíců fanoušků. Proti němu ale stojí Krzysztof Jotko, jeden z nejzkušenějších zápasníků, který kdy v OKTAGONu debutoval. Má za sebou 17 zápasů v UFC, z nichž 11 vyhrál, a v jednu chvíli figuroval dokonce na 13. příčce světového žebříčku střední váhy. Je klidný, technický a extrémně nebezpečný, zejména v dlouhých taktických bitvách. Oba patří mezi favority celé pyramidy, teď se ale jejich cesty střetávají už v osmifinále. Šampion OKTAGONu versus UFC veterán. Kdo si urve vítězství pro sebe?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1116"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MAREK MAZÚCH vs PIOTR WAWRZYNIAK</h2><p>Slovenský bijec Marek Mazúch je známý jako jeden z nejtvrdších ranařů v OKTAGONu. V kleci se s ničím nemaže a většinu zápasů rozhoduje silou svých granátů. Tentokrát ho ale čeká nebezpečný test v podobě bývalého prozatímního šampiona střední váhy Piotra Wawrzyniaka, který je známý svou fyzickou silou, odolností a schopností přežít i v těch nejtvrdších výměnách. Wawrzyniak je navíc prvním mužem, který kdy ukončil Vlasta Čepa – blízkého parťáka Marka Mazúcha. I proto bude mít tenhle zápas pro Marka nádech osobní výzvy. Přímočarý souboj dvou tanků. A v takových případech obvykle nerozhodují body, ale brada.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1118"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ANDREJ KALAŠNIK vs MATÉ KERTÉSZ</h2><p>Veteráni welterové divize se potkávají v bitvě, která může rozhodnout o jejich další budoucnosti.</p><p>Andrej „Vagabund” Kalašnik je miláček publika – drsný, tvrdý, ale také plný humoru. Jeho styl baví fanoušky už roky. Teď stojí před možná nejtěžší výzvou poslední doby. Proti němu se postaví jeden z nejzkušenějších borců celé organizace – Maté Kertész, který nastoupí už ke svému 18. zápasu pod OKTAGONem. Kertész je tichý zabiják – málokdy dělá hluk kolem sebe, ale v kleci odvádí špičkovou práci. Oba navíc vědí, že výhra může znamenat návrat mezi elitní jména divize, zatímco prohra může zavřít dveře do TOP 10.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1137"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL ŠKVOR vs MARC DOUSSIS</h2><p>Daniel Škvor, domácí ranař a vítěz OKTAGON Underground, je zpátky a navíc před domácím karlovarským publikem, takže nic jiného než tvrdé ukončení neplánuje. Proti němu ale bude stát Marc Doussis, německý bijec známý tím, že většinu svých soupeřů ukončil už v prvním kole. V tomhle souboji nebude čas na taktizování. Oba vědí, že stačí jediný tvrdý úder. Škvor bude chtít v Karlových Varech rozpoutat bouři, ale Doussis přijíždí s jediným cílem – umlčet domácí publikum a připsat si cenný skalp na své cestě na vrchol polotěžké divize.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1155"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MALLORY MARTIN vs EVA DOURTHE</h2><p>Válečnice proti šampionce. Zápas, který slámovou váhu napíše znovu. Americká zápasnice Mallory Martin šokovala svět, když před 60 000 fanoušky v Německu porazila favoritku Katharinu Dalisdu a stala se novou královnou slámové váhy. Teď ji čeká první titulová obhajoba. V opačném rohu bude stát Eva Dourthe – bývalá vojačka francouzské armády, která své soupeřky deptá tvrdostí i odolností. Už jednou o titul bojovala. Tehdy prohrála právě s Dalisdou, ale tentokrát si pro něj přichází znovu – připravenější a silnější. Potvrdí Martin pozici favoritky a uhájí svůj trůn před první nájezdnicí? Nebo se bude Francie radovat z prvního titulu v organizaci OKTAGON MMA?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1160"></oktfightcomponent><h2>RADEK ROUŠAL vs KAROL KUTYLA</h2><p>Radek “Ruchy” Roušal, nekompromisní striker se základem v thajboxu, se vrací do klece s jediným cílem – napravit poslední zaváhání a ukázat, že MMA bere smrtelně vážně. Proti němu ale bude stát polský bijec Karol Kutyła, zkušený postojář s tvrdými kombinacemi, který dobře ví, jak potrestat každou chybu. Tohle bude přestřelka, kde může rozhodnout jeden čistý úder. Kdo zůstane stát? A jakou novinku si přichystá Ruchy na svůj nástup? Nenech si ujít tuhle postojářskou show, kterou nám borci naservírují.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1170"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ŁUKASZ SIWIEC vs HOJAT KHAJEVAND</h2><p>Rezervní zápas pro Tipsport Gamechanger mezi věčně podceňovaným Siwiecem a specialistou na submise Hojatem Khajevandem nabídne jistě skvělou podívanou. Siwiec umí překvapit – své o tom ví například David Kozma, kterého v první sezóně Gamechangeru polský borec téměř uškrtil a Kozma zvítězil jen těsně na body. Poté si poradil s favoritem pyramidy Hathawayem a předvedl napínavé bitvy s Gogoladzem a Glismannem. Jestli něco Lukasz Siwiec není, tak snadný soupeř. V opačném rohu bude obávaný wrestler Hojat Khajevand. Hojat si půjde stoprocentně pro takedown a je otázka, zdali mu dokáže Łukasz vzdorovat a naopak převzít kontrolu, nebo ho čeká stejný osud jako Polívku nebo Mikuláška. To se brzy dozvíme.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1144"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MATEUSZ STRZELCZYK vs MATEUSZ DUCZMAL</h2><p>Střet dvou Mateuszů, dvou Poláků a dvou bojovníků, kteří jsou ochotni naskočit do zápasu bez váhání na short notice. Strzelczyka už fanoušci OKTAGONu dobře znají – při svém debutu v organizaci dokázal porazit Vlastu Čepa na submisi a poradil si také se tvrdým Montagnacem. Jeho soupeř Mateusz Duczmal bude ale těžký oříšek. Sice ho čeká teprve čtvrtý zápas v MMA, ale má řadu úspěchů z K-1 a Muay Thai, včetně prestižního titulu WBC. Duczmala čeká zkušený soupeř, který bude chtít prověřit jeho schopnosti na zemi. Strzelczyka naopak čeká zkouška z postojových disciplín. Kdo si prosadí svou a zvítězí v tomto last minute polském derby?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1177"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>OKTAGON 70 nabízí kartu, kterou si budeme ještě dlouho pamatovat. Příběhy, emoce, velké vítězství i drtivé prohry – to všechno nás čeká už v sobotu 26.4. od 18:00 v KV Areně. Nepropásni svou šanci vidět to na vlastní oči! Poslední lístky rychle mizí.

OKTAGON 70 ZÁPAS PO ZÁPASE: TUHLE KARTU MUSÍŠ VIDĚT! 

<p>OKTAGON 70 will go down in history as one of the wildest events in the organization’s nearly nine-year journey. Incredible KOs, fighters’ stories, and brutal wars in the KV Arena thrilled every combat sports fan. It was a night that showcased the beauty and unpredictability of our sport. A celebration of MMA that we’ll fondly remember. Let’s take a look at the aftermath of the entire night.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/1a375e65-9af8-41b8-9118-6f9562594a56/cs.1746188135797.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7a53e59d-f69e-43f9-acbe-e64f6f5d4b30/cs.1746188164022.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>RESULTS OF THE TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER PYRAMID DRAW</h2><p>The first round of the pyramid is behind us. It brought a number of surprises and new favorites for the overall win. After the event in Karlovy Vary, the second-round matchups were drawn, and it’s clear we have a lot to look forward to.</p><p>Middleweight king <strong>Kerim Engizek</strong> will face dark horse of the competition <strong>Mick Stanton</strong>. This will not be an easy match for the champion. Stanton is a tricky opponent who can threaten both standing and on the ground, where he demolishes opponent after opponent.</p><p>Next, we’ll see the clash between South African fighter <strong>Mark Hulme</strong> and again underrated <strong>Dominik Humburger</strong>. After defeating the experienced “Pirát,” bookmakers still don’t give him much of a chance. Will “Hambáč” prove them wrong?</p><p>We were so close to finally witnessing the long-awaited clash between <strong>Matěj Peňáz</strong> and Vlasto Čepo. But an unyielding Polish fighter,<strong> Piotr Wawrzyniak</strong>, threw a wrench in that plan by choosing “Money” as his opponent. This fight also promises to be great, and Matěj will need to step up his game. After all, Wawrzyniak has already defeated Mazúch and Čepo. Will Peňáz be his next scalp?</p><p>The new big favorite for the overall win in the third season of Tipsport Gamechanger, <strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong>, convincingly beat welterweight champion Ion Surdu, proving his experience and undeniable quality. But now he faces a completely different opponent – <strong>Vlasto Čepo</strong> is not like other fighters. His strategy is to move forward until someone falls. It worked against Kartal; will it be enough against the experienced Jotko?</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJBmH_Vscof/?utm_source=ig_embed"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>MOVEMENTS IN THE GLOBAL RANKINGS: WHO MADE THE BIGGEST LEAP?</h2><p>Dominik Humburger came very close to the top 100 middleweights. With his victory over Pirát, he moved from 140th to 107th in the global rankings, marking his highest position so far. Vlasto Čepo also achieved his best ranking, currently sitting at 181st. Krzysztof Jotko, after beating Surdu, moved up just one spot and is now the 42nd-best middleweight in the world. Piotr Wawrzyniak made a great leap, moving up eight positions to 76th, just one spot short of his personal best. Andrej Kalašnik shot up dramatically – his win over Kertész propelled him up an incredible 70 spots, and he is now the 139th welterweight in the world. “Dee Dee” Škvor not only moved closer to a title shot and a potential rematch with Will Fleury but also into the top 100 light heavyweights. He’s currently ranked 110th. Mallory Martin is now in the top 20 strawweights in the world. A great performance and title defense moved her up 6 spots to a strong 19th in the rankings. Other notable rankings shifts include Radek Roušal (#966), Hojat Khajevand (#147), and Mateusz Strzelczyk (#151).</p><h2>WHAT’S NEXT? A STACKED CARD IN MUNICH AND MMA LEGENDS IN EDEN!</h2><p>In just two weeks, we’ll have a fantastic card at <strong>OKTAGON 71 in Munich</strong>. The main event of the evening will feature a rematch between Slovak programmer Langer and German Viking Poppeck. A number of exciting names will also appear – the much-hated Irishmen Frimpong and Rock, returning brawler Polívka, first-round finish expert Mudroch, and many more.</p><p>Additionally, the much-anticipated Czech-Slovak and European MMA celebration is approaching – <strong>OKTAGON 72 at Prague’s Eden Stadium</strong>. The culmination of a 7-year-long rivalry between two legends. The end of one great era, with Karlos Vémola and Attila Végh writing the final chapter in Eden.</p><p>But that’s not all. You can also look forward to the heated clash for the interim title between Muradov and Kincl, “The Neanderthal” Vosgröne, Matěj Peňáz, and many other big names. Without a doubt, it will be the card of the year. A night full of stars, roaring fans, and unforgettable experiences. And you can be there!</p><p><strong>Tickets are already on sale, so head over to the link below and secure your spot at the stadium. This is a show you don’t want to miss.

WHO ADVANCED AND WHAT DID THE TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER DRAW BRING?

OKTAGON 70 was a night to remember, and we’ll be reminiscing about it for a long time. Take a look through the photos and relive the best moments from the event in Karlovy Vary..

OKTAGON 70 PHOTO GALLERY: THE BEST MOMENTS FROM THE EVENT IN PICTURES

<p>This was one of those events where the judges didn’t have to work too hard. Out of 10 fights, 8 were finished before the limit, and 6 of them in the first round. An incredible record and a confirmation of just how fantastic the card in Karlovy Vary was. The only victories by decision came from Mallory Martin in the five-round title fight and Krzysztof Jotko in the Tipsport Gamechanger favorite battle against Ion Surdu. Let’s take a look at how the judges saw the bouts on the scorecards.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/14040659-3210-4fe0-b5c0-606364292dc4/cs.1745865241039.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/1fcf0a9b-9092-4dab-879d-a1cc28e4ea14/cs.1745865246034.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>HUMBURGER vs KRIŠTOFIČ</h2><p>The main event of the evening eventually went into the second round, and Dominik Humburger showed his toughness by finishing Pirát via TKO. The first round went in favor of the Slovak favorite, who was close to finishing Humburger. However, in the second round, Pirát ran out of energy, and the younger “Hambáč” had the clear upper hand.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1108" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ČEPO vs KARTAL</h2><p>Čepo didn’t disappoint, opening the fight with an exchange of punches in the first ten seconds. Kartal tried to tie Čepo against the cage for a moment, but it didn’t work too well. Čepo confirmed his toughness and willingness to move forward with reckless abandon, which paid off. Just before the end of the first round, he finished his opponent via TKO.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="916" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>SURDU vs JOTKO</h2><p>One of the two bouts that went to the judges’ scorecards. Surdu was more active in the beginning, but Jotko responded well in the stand-up and dominated the cage and ground game. The experienced Pole showed why he’s one of the biggest favorites in the entire pyramid, beating the welterweight champion in all three rounds.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1116" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>MAZÚCH vs WAWRZYNIAK</h2><p>Another wild ride. The feared Slovak fighter Mazúch couldn’t make his hard punches count against the Polish opponent. On the other hand, Wawrzyniak was more precise in the exchanges, and he celebrated a KO victory in the first round.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1018" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>KALAŠNIK vs KERTÉSZ</h2><p>“Vagabund” didn’t wait around and immediately went for a finish in the stand-up. It took him a minute and a half to land a KO punch right on Kertész’s chin, and he celebrated a crucial victory.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1137" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ŠKVOR vs DOUSSIS</h2><p>Škvor sat down after Doussis’ shot to his rear but quickly recovered and got back on his feet. Soon, he pressured his opponent with punches, landing a perfect hook that sent Doussis straight to dreamland. Another KO victory and a move up the light heavyweight ranks.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="729" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>MARTIN vs DOURTHE</h2><p>A great title fight from Mallory Martin and her opponent Eva Dourthe. Both fighters showed their all-around skills and high-level abilities. As the rounds progressed, Martin became the stronger fighter, and the judges saw her winning 4 out of 5 rounds. A well-deserved victory and a hard-fought first title defense for the strawweight champion.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1160" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ROUŠAL vs KUTYLA</h2><p>The first round was even, with both fighters having good moments, which is reflected in the judges’ balanced scorecards. In the second round, however, Roušal imposed his brutal body shots, which Kutyla didn’t like, and his defense began to break down. Just before the end of the second round, “Ruchy” won via TKO.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1170" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>SIWIEC vs KHAJEVAND</h2><p>Siwiec didn’t really get going in this fight. Khajevand made excellent use of his height advantage and longer reach. After three minutes, he landed a KO punch that ended the fight.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1144" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>STRZELCZYK vs DUCZMAL</h2><p>The first fight of the night kicked off the crazy pace of the entire event.

Another submission victory for the Polish fighter.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1177" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><p><strong>OKTAGON 70 was one wild ride!

OKTAGON 70 SCORECARDS: THE JUDGES HAD AN EASY JOB IN KARLOVY VARY

<p>There’s no doubt about it – this was one of the best events in OKTAGON’s nearly nine-year history. We may have never seen such a wild night. And all of this in the stunning setting of the Karlovy Vary KV Arena, filled with enthusiastic fans pushing their favorites into the toughest battles. 10 fights and 8 finishes. Simply put: an absolute blast!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/97b88ace-325e-47ea-af03-1304d6212f76/cs.1745708687961.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/0e5cfdaa-bc6b-4c09-ba11-72622ae17d28/cs.1745708694345.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>SAMUEL KRIŠTOFIČ vs.&nbsp;DOMINIK HUMBURGER</h2><p>The deserved main event of the night delivered exactly what every fan expected. An absolute war! An unbelievable duel between two fighters who fought as if their lives depended on it. The first round was all about who could impose their style, and Pirát managed to do so better, winning the first round on points. The second round, however, was a different story. Dominik saved up more energy and started breaking down his opponent, who had no answer. Even though the Slovak favorite took an unbelievable amount of hard hits, he eventually went down. Dominik won this battle via TKO and deservedly celebrated not only his successful debut in the main event of a home event but also the Tipsport Performance of the Night bonus.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1108"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VLASTO ČEPO vs ERHAN KARTAL</h2><p>The start was exactly as we all expected. Motivated Vlasto Čepo, rushing forward and throwing punches with one goal in mind – to finish his opponent immediately. Kartal, however, was cut from the same cloth and showed that both could play this game. Eventually, the Slovak fighter backed off and started tying Čepo against the cage to defend himself from his relentless pressure. But Čepo wouldn’t be slowed down, and when the opportunity came, he threw himself into an insane exchange and was successful. He landed several well-placed punches that shook Kartal, and eventually, he scored a textbook KO. A great victory and huge joy for the fans.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1117"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ION SURDU vs KRZYSZTOF JOTKO</h2><p>Jotko took this fight very personally – first, he showed up to weigh-ins with garlic around his neck, and then entered the cage dressed as Blade, the famous movie character who hunts vampires. While Surdu had the crowd on his side, his vampire-like determination and thirst for blood weren’t enough to overcome Jotko. The Polish fighter excelled in striking, but especially on the cage and the ground, where he literally dominated. Surdu gave everything and fought until the last second, but it wasn’t enough against Jotko, who won the fight by unanimous decision.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1116"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MAREK MAZÚCH vs PIOTR WAWRZYNIAK</h2><p>It was all or nothing – that’s how the strategy of both fighters could be described in this bout. Going forward, trying to take the opponent’s head off with every punch, a typical fight for Marek Mazúch. However, this time, he miscalculated. Piotr Wawrzyniak, known for his steel chin, showed once again that he can withstand the initial pressure. He took the initiative and finished the fight in just one round! This was something few expected. A huge victory for the Polish fighter, securing his place in the Tipsport Gamechanger pyramid.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1118"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ANDREJ KALAŠNIK vs MATÉ KERTÉSZ</h2><p>A fight for a spot in the welterweight division’s top ranks. But this night was as wild as it was fast – another first-round finish! Kalašnik relied on his explosiveness and aggressive style, which paid off. He didn’t give Meté much chance to get into the fight. "Vagabund" literally stormed his opponent, and after just under two minutes, another KO came from a powerful right hook. Kalašnik made it clear that he belongs among the best, and with his fans behind him, we can’t wait to see how far his new version will go.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1137"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DANIEL ŠKVOR vs MARC DOUSSIS</h2><p>Škvor via KO! This fight ended even faster than it started. Škvor didn’t start well, and his opponent had the upper hand in hard exchanges. He was landing shots with more precision and power, and Škvor was close to serious trouble. Then came the left hook, and it was over. A crushing blow to Doussis' chin ended the fight in an instant. Škvor is moving up the light heavyweight rankings, and after the fight, he called for Fleury’s attention. Will his next opponent be the Irish double-champ? Or does he still need to earn his title shot with another fight? One thing is clear – we have another contender for the Performance of the Night bonus.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1155"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MALLORY MARTIN vs EVA DOURTHE</h2><p>The first and last women’s fight on the card, and it was for the title! Mallory Martin vs Eva Dourthe showed us why they’re at the top of the division. A five-round battle between two well-rounded fighters who didn’t miss a beat in any aspect of the fight. Striking exchanges, grappling battles – this fight had it all! After five rounds, the judges gave a unanimous decision to Martin, who successfully defended her title. Who will face her next?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1160"></oktfightcomponent><h2>RADEK ROUŠAL vs KAROL KUTYLA</h2><p>Ruchy didn’t disappoint and entertained the fans even before the fight started. This time, he chose a costume based on his opponent – a butcher’s apron, mocking his opponent’s "Thai Butcher" nickname. The first round was even, with both fighters exchanging good strikes in the stand-up and on the cage. Kutyla even tried to bring the fight to the ground but was unsuccessful. In the second round, Roušal found his distance and started landing brutal body shots. After a few of them, it was clear that a finish was in the air. Kutyla didn’t want to give up easily, but eventually, the referee was forced to stop the fight, and Roušal won in the second round via TKO to a huge cheer from the fans.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1170"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ŁUKASZ SIWIEC vs HOJAT KHAJEVAND</h2><p>We didn’t expect this kind of pace even in our wildest dreams. Two fights, two first-round finishes. Khajevand expertly used the length of his arms, making it difficult for Siwiec to get inside. He gradually set up his strike, which finally came. A hard uppercut, followed by a rear hook, and then a quick finish with several ground punches. A simple and precisely executed strategy. Who will be Hojat’s next opponent?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1144"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MATEUSZ STRZELCZYK vs MATEUSZ DUCZMAL</h2><p>That was speed! The first fight of the night, and already a first-round victory! Both Polish fighters came out hard from the start, even crossing the line of the rules – Duczmal hit his opponent with an illegal shot to the back of the head in the first minute. Strzelczyk initially seemed disoriented but quickly recovered. After a quick doctor check, Strzelczyk didn’t wait for long and went straight into an exchange where he managed to land several clean shots. Then, he decided to go for a submission, suddenly jumping to the ground and locking in Duczmal’s leg in a submission. Duczmal was forced to tap out after a short time. Strzelczyk celebrated his victory in just under two minutes, being the first to claim the Tipsport Performance of the Night bonus.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1177"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>OKTAGON 70 couldn’t have gone better – incredibly exciting fights, twists, stories, and a climax worthy of such a night.

OKTAGON 70: A NIGHT TO REMEMBER!

<h2>THE BATTLE FOR THE PERFORMANCE BONUS OF THE NIGHT</h2><p>An enticing reward: the Tipsport Performance of the Night bonus worth €5,000. Of course, victory is the most important thing for every fighter, but the bonus is a nice cherry on top of a solid performance.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/d1cc52ea-e85c-47b9-b97c-90022062acd1/cs.1745517380017.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/1f647a36-5075-4a45-84a7-74c489ce1e54/cs.1745517387806.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p>In Karlovy Vary, a number of fighters who have already accumulated 13 Performance of the Night awards will appear – whether it's <strong>Pirát</strong>, who earned his bonus for his incredible win over Vémola, or <strong>Vlasto</strong> <strong>Čepo</strong>, who has won the bonus twice! <strong>Ion</strong> <strong>Surdu</strong> and <strong>Marek</strong> <strong>Mazúch</strong> are also in the mix, both with aggressive styles that will surely earn them a shot at the bonus in every fight. <strong>Kalašnik</strong> has already enjoyed the reward three times! Will he add a fourth bonus to his collection and equal the current record held by Rony Paradeiser? <strong>Strzelczyk </strong>and <strong>Mallory</strong> <strong>Martin</strong> each have one bonus. Martin also earned a bonus for her performance in the UFC, just like Ion Surdu's opponent, <strong>Krzysztof</strong> <strong>Jotko</strong>. The entire card is packed with warriors eager to deliver the best show possible and, alongside a vital victory, secure the award for the best performance of the night. Who will take it home? We’ll find out this Saturday.</p><h2>RECORD-BREAKING POLISH PARTICIPATION</h2><p>OKTAGON 70 will be, among other things, the event with the largest number of Polish fighters in history. Among them is the highly experienced UFC veteran <strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong>, who will be one of the main attractions of the evening in his OKTAGON debut. He will be joined by <strong>Piotr Wawrzyniak</strong>, <strong>Łukasz Siwiec</strong>, and <strong>Karol Kutyła</strong>, all of whom bring the famed Polish toughness and determination, qualities they’ll certainly need in their bouts. While Ion Surdu is not Polish, he has lived and trained in Poland for many years and has many fans there, so he can be considered a Polish fighter in the broader sense. And let’s not forget the two Mateuszes – <strong>Strzelczyk</strong> and <strong>Duzcmal</strong> – who accepted a last-minute fight and will face off in the free prelims of this Polish war.</p><h2>CHAMPIONS IN THE HOUSE</h2><p>At OKTAGON 70, true titans will meet! Two <strong>OKTAGON Underground champions</strong>, <strong>Vlasto</strong> <strong>Čepo</strong> and <strong>Daniel</strong> <strong>Škvor</strong>, will step into the cage with sheer determination. Both carry that "underground" tension, never holding back on hard strikes! But that’s far from the end. <strong>Mallory Martin</strong> and <strong>Ion</strong> <strong>Surdu</strong>, two OKTAGON champions, are here to confirm their qualities and prove they belong on the throne, with no intention of stepping down anytime soon. Surdu may be fighting outside his weight class, and while his title isn’t on the line, it’s about honor. And we can’t forget <strong>Samuel</strong> <strong>Krištofič</strong>, the <strong>OKTAGON</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> <strong>champion</strong>, who’s been through a tough journey and already showed us that he has what it takes to fight the best. </p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DI1m9upMbVK/?hl=cs"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p>Each of these fighters has something to prove, and fans can expect some serious battles that will stay in their memories for a long time! This event will be filled with nerves, hard hits, and proper MMA – you simply cannot miss this!</p><h2>NEW FACES AND VETERANS OF OKTAGON: WHO WILL BREAK THROUGH?</h2><p>In Karlovy Vary, we’ll see a number of fresh faces making their debut in the yellow-and-black cage. <strong>Dominik Humburger</strong>, <strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong>, and <strong>Erhan Kartal</strong> are all stepping into their OKTAGON debuts with one clear goal – a loud victory. For Humburger, this is the toughest test of his career so far. In the opposite corner stands the unpredictable <strong>“Pirát” Krištofič</strong>, who is one of the most experienced fighters. Pirát has 19 fights in the organization, with 11 wins, placing him among the top 9 fighters with the most victories in OKTAGON. The former interim middleweight champion and conqueror of Karlos Vémola wants to show young “Hambáč” that he’s an easy target. The battle of veterans in the domestic scene will feature the clash between <strong>Maté Kertész</strong> and <strong>Andrej Kalašnik</strong>. Both experienced, both popular, but only one can win and move forward. Who will take it and who might say goodbye to the top 10 welterweight division? We shouldn’t forget about local fighter <strong>Daniel “Dee Dee” Škvor</strong>. He has 11 out of his 12 professional MMA fights in OKTAGON, not counting the additional three bouts in OKTAGON: Underground. Škvor faces a stylistically similar opponent in Marcus Doussis, so we can expect an exciting striking battle.</p><p><strong>Whether you’re rooting for Pirát or Humburger, Kertész or Kalašnik, Mazúch or Wawrzyniak – one thing is clear, you don’t want to miss this! OKTAGON 70 will shake up Karlovy Vary. Some stories will end, but others will begin. Don’t miss it!

OKTAGON 70 RECORDS AND FACTS: POLISH RAID, THE HUNT FOR THE BONUS, AND A FIGHT BETWEEN VETERANS

<p>Samuel “Pirát” Krištofič has made OKTAGON his home. No wonder, as he has been part of the organization since 2017. Over the years, he has built a reputation as one of the most prominent fighters in the Czech-Slovak scene. During this journey, he has experienced many successes, but also setbacks and falls from which he had to recover. Now, after a year and a half-long break, he returns to remind everyone of what he's capable of.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/8b8ee479-a8c1-49d9-bfc1-4baecf98797c/cs.1745347243448.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7e8c7f22-b676-441f-a605-08f902c7097c/cs.1745347249815.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>BEGINNING WITH SPORTS AND MMA</h2><p>Long before Samuel became a star in Czech-Slovak MMA, he was involved in football and is still a big fan today. His MMA story began in 2015 when he transitioned from Muay Thai to a new discipline under the guidance of Kamil Cibinski at Chaos Gym in Bratislava. However, he truly earned attention in 2017 when he joined OKTAGON MMA, specifically the reality show <strong>OKTAGON Výzva II.</strong> Even during the reality show, it was clear that Pirát could be a troublesome opponent, both in and out of the cage. In the final of the show, he defeated Radovan Úškrta, becoming the champion of the second season, which brought him into the spotlight. It was his ticket to joining the best fighters in OKTAGON. His humor, charisma, and ability to entertain people, as well as annoy his opponents, were just the cherry on top.</p><h2>UPS AND DOWNS: KEY MOMENTS IN HIS CAREER</h2><p>His first title opportunity didn’t take long to arrive – at OKTAGON 11, Pirát faced David Kozma in the main event for the welterweight title. After a five-round battle, Kozma took the victory, and Pirát returned home empty-handed. Over the following years, he always stayed within reach of a title shot, though it continued to elude him. One of the biggest moments in his career came in his fight with Karlos Vémola at OKTAGON 51. Pirát shocked the entire MMA world when he sent "The Terminator" to the canvas with a brutal KO in the first round. This victory not only earned him the Performance of the Night bonus but also gained him respect from fans and the entire MMA community. After this victory, Pirát became an even bigger star, quickly gaining recognition not only from the Czech-Slovak audience but also internationally. Moreover, with the win over Karlos, he broke a two-fight losing streak against Robert Bryczek and Alex Lohoré. Can Pirát build on his last big victory?</p><h2>SURVIVOR AND RETURN TO THE CAGE</h2><p>In 2024, Pirát temporarily stepped away from the MMA world to participate in the second season of the reality show <strong>Survivor</strong>. On the island, he faced not only physical challenges from hunger, extreme weather, and tough physical duels, but also psychological trials that are part of the game. He demonstrated his endurance and resilience, which had always accompanied him in the cage and outside it. Although he didn’t win, he made it to the final five, which was a remarkable achievement! He also gained new fans outside the world of combat sports who discovered him throughout the show.</p><h2>OKTAGON 70 AND A SECOND CHANCE IN THE TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER</h2><p>Returning from Survivor wasn’t easy – an injury followed, and training had to stop once again. After a long year and a half, Pirát is finally making his comeback to the cage at <strong>OKTAGON</strong> <strong>70</strong>, which will take place on April 26, 2025, in Karlovy Vary. In the main event of the evening, he will face hungry debutant Dominik Humburger. Pirát won’t have an easy task ahead of him. Dominik is a younger, dynamic, and versatile fighter who has come to play at the highest level. The fight is also crucial for advancing to the next phase of the pyramid, which only one fighter can win. For Krištofič, this is his second attempt in the European Champions League of Tipsport Gamechanger. Last time, his first fight didn’t go well, and he was eliminated in the opening round of the pyramid. Now, he wants to silence his critics in Karlovy Vary and give the newcomer "Hambáč" a tough welcome. Whether it's his wrestling skills or sharp trash talk, Pirát is a fighter who never stays in the shadows.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1108"></oktfightcomponent><h2>OUTSIDE THE CAGE</h2><p>Samuel is known not only as a great fighter but also as someone with a strong personal story. He’s a huge dog lover and spends his free time caring for them. In 2021, he became a father to his daughter Dominika, and in 2022, he married his longtime girlfriend Janka. Less known is the fact that Pirát considers Jiří Procházka, the first Czech UFC champion, as one of his role models and sources of inspiration. After all, both of them share a difficult childhood and adolescence, as well as a path to a better life through combat sports.</p><p><strong>April 26, 2025, will be another major moment in Pirát's career. This is one fight you definitely don’t want to miss! You have your last chance to buy tickets or grab our PPV and watch the event from the comfort of your home.

TIME WITH PIRÁT: REMINDING YOU OF THE JOURNEY OF ONE OF OKTAGON'S MOST DISTINGUISHED FACES

<p><strong>OKTAGON 70</strong> in Karlovy Vary is packed from start to finish. <strong>Four Tipsport Gamechanger bouts</strong>, a <strong>women’s strawweight title fight</strong>, and much more. You definitely <strong>don’t want to miss the prelims</strong> because these fights are going to be worth it!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/3be41e63-6c31-4ff5-8980-0fa10a498502/cs.1744978798535.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/69b8d7a5-e24d-494a-a5ed-e03992088fae/cs.1744978805384.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TWO FIGHTS AND A BATTLE FOR THE WOMEN’S CROWN!</h2><p>The final fight of the prelims will be the first but far from the last highlight of the night. The title bout for the women’s strawweight belt between <strong>Mallory Martin</strong> and <strong>Eva Dourthe</strong> promises an incredible show. Martin returns after a spectacular win over former champion Dalisda, which she claimed in front of 60,000 fans in Frankfurt. Now, she faces her first title defense against the dangerous Frenchwoman.</p><p>Dourthe has previously held a belt in an international organization. Since 2021, she has only lost twice, both times to the same opponent – <strong>Katharina Dalisda</strong>. If she secures the title, she might have the chance to face her nemesis once more and avenge the two losses Dalisda handed her in the past. Will she overcome the indomitable Martin, or will the title slip away once again?</p><p>Just two fights earlier, the nightmare of the women’s strawweight division – the German warrior Katharina Dalisda – returns to the OKTAGON cage, where she’s already made history, and now she’s back on track for the top! The determined German never enters the cage without maximum motivation, and this time, her hunger for victory is even greater. A win in Karlovy Vary could catapult her back into the title hunt. But it won’t be easy…</p><p>On the other side of the cage will stand <strong>Elin Öberg</strong>, the uncompromising Nordic fighter who’s not here just for experience – she’s here for scalps! The Swedish fighter is fast, tough, and, above all, fearless. She’s the perfect opponent for a full-on battle. Can Dalisda withstand the relentless pressure from her fearless opponent? Will she take another step towards reclaiming the title? Watch the battle of elite female fighters at OKTAGON 70 – it’s going to be a ride!</p><h2>RUCHY RETURNS TO THE SCENE</h2><p><strong>Radek Roušal</strong>, the Czech Muay Thai fighter who’s increasingly making his mark in MMA, will face the experienced Polish fighter Karol Kutyła in Karlovy Vary. Roušal is known for his hard combinations and precise movement in striking. Now, he will want to put on a great show for his home fans. Against him stands <strong>Karol Kutyła</strong>, a Muay Thai specialist with extensive MMA experience across Europe. This fight will be a striking war! Can Roušal control the pace and avoid making unnecessary mistakes? Or will the Polish butcher hand him another loss?</p><h2>DON’T SLEEP ON THE START!</h2><p>In the prelims, you can also look forward to a showdown between reserve fighters for the Tipsport Gamechanger 3 pyramid. The unyielding Pole <strong>Siwiec</strong> will face the experienced wrestler <strong>Khajevand</strong>, who has already choked out names like Mikulášek and Polívka. A balanced duel for the chance to have a say in the million-euro prize!</p><p>And the entire event will kick off with an intense battle between two Mateuszes in the light heavyweight division – <strong>Strzelczyk</strong> vs <strong>Duczmal</strong>. Both fighters showed the heart of warriors when they took the fight on short notice, perfectly complementing an already stacked OKTAGON 70 card. Don’t miss your chance to be there!</p><p><strong>OKTAGON 70 will offer an emotional rollercoaster like you’ve never experienced before! Secure your spot in the arena – the event is rapidly approaching! Karlovy Vary and a night you won’t soon forget!

THIS APPETIZER WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL! DON’T MISS THE PRELIMS IN KARLOVY VARY

<p>Green Thursday is here, but green Saturday is yet to come! Next week, OKTAGON 70 will take place in Karlovy Vary, where the main stars won't be appearing on the movie screen but inside the black-and-yellow cage. Fighters from military ranks will also take to the ring – Dominik Humburger, Marek Mazúch, and Eva Dourthe.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/76ac35d7-1537-4a41-9672-3ad2d786ab1a/cs.1744904016937.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e771ca88-298b-4e41-8028-05ab714135d5/cs.1744904023446.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>MILITARY DISCIPLINE AND DETERMINATION IN THE CAGE</h2><p>MMA and military training share a number of common traits. The emphasis on discipline, strategy, and the ability to endure in the most challenging moments is essential in both worlds. Fighters often undergo physical and mental stress tests, which are standard in the military. Soldiers know how to handle crisis situations and push their limits continuously. This can make all the difference in the ring – who will give in, and who will withstand? The ability to respond quickly to changes is also crucial. Even with the best analysis of your opponent, the cage can still surprise you. Additionally, the connection between MMA and the army is quite common. A prime example is Randy Couture, a UFC legend and former champion, who served as a sergeant in the United States Army.</p><h2>THE STORIES OF THREE SOLDIERS AT OKTAGON 70</h2><p>At the upcoming OKTAGON 70 event in Karlovy Vary, three soldiers will step onto the scales – Dominik Humburger, Marek Mazúch, and Eva Dourthe. Each of them brings not only their fighting strength to the cage but also valuable experiences from military training. What are the stories of these fighters, and what do they bring from the army?</p><p><strong>Dominik Humburger</strong> comes to OKTAGON to show what he's truly made of and fight for his dream victory in the Tipsport Gamechanger pyramid. In the army, he learned to constantly push the limits of his abilities, and now he’s reaping the rewards in MMA. Dominik hails from Liberec, where he also serves in the 31st Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Protection Regiment. He has previously mentioned that the connection between military service and professional MMA feels natural to him because both are tied by discipline and the ability to respond in tough situations.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHao_9kMd-c/?utm_source=ig_embed"></oktinstagramcomponent><p><strong>Marek Mazúch </strong>also had a stint in the military before transitioning to a professional MMA career. He used to serve in the Slovak Army as a soldier, undergoing military training. Now a professional MMA fighter, Marek remains calm until he's in the cage. When the fight begins, he jumps into the fray, deploying his “grenades” with precision. He’s not afraid to take risks, and his fighting strategy is as straightforward as a straight line – win by any means necessary.</p><p><strong>Eva Dourthe</strong> is not only an outstanding representative of women's MMA but also a role model for all women who dream of a career in the French army. Military training has given her strength, as well as the ability to remain calm in the most challenging moments of a fight and an undeniable resilience, which she has shown in all of her bouts. Dourthe has established herself as a strong and unyielding competitor who should not be underestimated. Can she dethrone Mallory Martin and become the new strawweight champion?</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIZIbsVsjOR/?utm_source=ig_embed"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p><strong>One thing is for sure – OKTAGON 70 will not be boring!

GREEN UNIFORMS AND MMA: TWO WORLDS THAT WILL COLLIDE AT OKTAGON 70

<p>Karlovy Vary – a city of elegance, red carpets, and mineral water. But also a city that will shake to its foundations on April 26th under the pressure of OKTAGON MMA fighters. Honor, titles, and a place in the million-dollar pyramid are at stake. But amidst all the sweat, tactics, and hard punches in the gloves, there will also be a moment for a different kind of fight – the fashion one. After all, even weigh-ins or press conferences can be a showcase of style.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/b78e92f2-7527-451d-9908-3b45ffebeb57/cs.1744801887982.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/2fedc71c-54cc-4035-afd0-12fbd6f1b405/cs.1744801911322.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>SPORTY ELEGANCE vs TOTAL COMFORT</h2><p>While some fighters are clear about their choice – comfort above all – others put great effort into their image. Take <strong>Radek Roušal</strong>, for example, who, since his relationship with influencer Nela Slováková, is not afraid to shine in more than just fight shorts. He has appeared at film premieres in outfits that any fashion blogger would envy. Roušal knows how to show that a fighter can have sharp elbows and refined taste.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHZAW1jKf5O/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D"></oktinstagramcomponent><p>On the other end of the fashion spectrum stands <strong>Vlasto Čepo</strong> – "El Chapo" is the embodiment of natural charm. For him, a purely sporty look and ease win out. A suit? More like a hoodie. But you know what they say – the one who doesn't talk much about fashion might end up surprising everyone with the most unexpected outfit of the night.</p><h2>TRADITION, ORIGINALITY, CONTRAST</h2><p><strong>Marek Mazúch</strong> has proven one thing during his career – he can be a demon in the cage and show that style has a thousand faces outside of it. When he appeared in traditional Slovak folk attire or a flannel shirt with a fur hat in the past, it was clear that he’s all about identity. He doesn’t go for superficiality – he delivers a message. And it works.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7Ba69CskAe/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D"></oktinstagramcomponent><p>As for <strong>Samuel Krištofič? </strong>He certainly isn’t afraid of colors, eccentricity, or fun. His style is as loud as his trash talk. After a year and a half-long break and participation in the reality show Survivor, he's back at the center of attention – and it’s likely that it won’t be just inside the cage.</p><h2>FROM MILITARY DISCIPLINE STRAIGHT TO THE RED CARPET</h2><p>And then there’s <strong>Dominik "Hambáč" Humburger</strong> – like Mazúch, he’s a soldier by profession, for whom a uniform is a regular part of the day. He’s even appeared in it at some weigh-ins. But once it’s time to get dressed up, he knows how to surprise. At a recent Playboy gala, he rocked a perfectly fitted tuxedo, leaving more than just a sporting impression. Will he choose a green outfit with a military touch for Karlovy Vary, or will he opt for classic black elegance? The answer is coming soon.</p><h2>THE UNIQUE KALAŠNIK</h2><p>Then there’s <strong>Andrej "Vagabund" Kalašnik</strong> – a man whose humor and personality have introduced a new face to MMA. A white tank top, Adidas sweatpants, sunglasses, and a hat – and charisma holding it all together. It’s a style that might not appeal to everyone, but Andrej has claimed it for his “vagabund” alter ego and wears it with such ease that even Karl Lagerfeld would likely let him pass.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DICdsifKStX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>WHO WILL STAY TRUE TO THEIR IMAGE AND WHO WILL SURPRISE?</h2><p>Whether you're a fan of sports classics or extravagant fashion, one thing is for sure – the public weigh-ins in Karlovy Vary will offer not only nervous moments and last stares between opponents but also a healthy dose of style. Will Čepo stay in comfort, or will he step on the gas outside of the fight as well? Will Mazúch bring out the fur classic? Will Roušal bring new fashion trends alongside Nela? And will Piráts shine brighter than ever before? Foreign fighters may also surprise, so make sure to tune in for Friday's public weigh-in to catch all the action!</p><p><strong>OKTAGON 70 will take place on Saturday, April 26th, starting at 18:00 at the KV Arena.

OKTAGON 70 RED CARPET: WHO WILL ARRIVE IN STYLE?

<p>On April 26th, Karlovy Vary will transform into an arena where not only local stars but also a strong Polish quartet will clash. Krzysztof Jotko, Piotr Wawrzyniak, Łukasz Siwiec, and Karol Kutyła bring a combination of experience, strength, and determination to OKTAGON 70. And as many local fighters already know, the power of Polish athletes is not to be underestimated!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/c24227ab-e031-4a07-850e-9951a1b3afb4/cs.1744726807836.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a18a9442-cc38-4766-969b-3cb5f5d577fc/cs.1744726818536.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>KRZYSZTOF JOTKO: A VETERAN AT THE WORLD LEVEL</h2><p>The name Krzysztof Jotko is one of the most seasoned in the MMA world. With a record of 25 wins and 6 losses, including 11 victories in the UFC, he’s one of the most experienced fighters in the organization. A former #13 in the world middleweight ranking, Jotko will step into the OKTAGON cage for the first time, facing none other than the champion! Will he hand Ion Surdu his first loss outside of the UFC? This clash promises to be a technical battle at the highest level.</p><h2>PIOTR WAWRZYNIAK: THE COMEBACK OF A FORMER CHAMPION</h2><p>Piotr "Pitrek" Wawrzyniak, the former interim middleweight champion of OKTAGON, returns to the cage with the goal of reclaiming the division title. With a record of 13 wins and 6 losses, he will face Slovak fighter Marek Mazúch. Wawrzyniak has already defeated one of Slovakia's toughest fighters, having been the first to stop Vlasto Čepo before the limit. With his strategy likely to withstand the initial pressure and gradually take control, it will be crucial for him to avoid getting hit.</p><h2>ŁUKASZ “BRUTAL” SIWIEC: BACK IN ACTION</h2><p>Former Babilon MMA welterweight champion, Łukasz Siwiec, returns to OKTAGON with the aim of making a strong impact once again. With a professional record of 9–4, including 6 wins by submission, he’s known for his ability to end fights on the ground. After narrow losses to David Kozma and Amiran Gogoladze, he’s now preparing for a fight with Hojat Khajevand in the reserve bout of the Tipsport Gamechanger. Known as "Brutal," Siwiec is determined to prove that he still belongs among the elite.</p><h2>KAROL KUTYŁA: THE THAI BUTCHER AGAINST A LOCAL TALENT</h2><p>Karol Kutyła, known by his nickname "The Thai Butcher," is a Muay Thai specialist with a professional record of 8–7. His aggressive and technical style makes him a dangerous opponent. In Karlovy Vary, he will face Radek Roušal in a matchup that promises an exciting striking battle. Kutyła trains in Radom and is ready to showcase his skills to an international audience.</p><h2>ION SURDU: A MOLDOVAN CHAMPION WITH A POLISH HEART</h2><p>Ion "Dracula" Surdu is the current welterweight champion of OKTAGON MMA. Although he hails from Moldova, he hones his skills at the prestigious Polish club Ankos MMA in Poznań, training under the guidance of Andrzej Kościelski. Surdu is known for his aggressive fighting style and high percentage of finishes before the limit.
