OKTAGON is heading to Berlin for the first time in history, and it's bringing a card unlike anything you've seen before. On June 20, Uber Arena will host two title fights and a gala evening packed with home-grown stars and international elite. From title defenses to unbeaten hunters and the return of hungry finishers — this night has it all. Check out the complete card fight by fight and get ready for the Berlin storm.

WILL FLEURY VS. KASIM ARAS

The main event of the evening and a battle for the heavyweight throne that promises an absolute earthquake. Irish two-time OKTAGON champion Will Fleury (16-3) hasn't lost in six years and arrives in Berlin carrying two belts and the status of the organization's P4P number one. He last defended his heavyweight crown when he stopped former UFC heavyweight Martin Buday in under two minutes. But standing in his way is the relentless home warrior Kasim Aras (11-5), who knocked out Adam Pałasz in OKTAGON and outpointed Simon Biyong on the scorecards. Both fighters are yet to taste defeat inside the yellow-and-black cage. One of them will lose that record on Saturday.

MATEUSZ LEGIERSKI VS. GÖKHAN AKSU

Polish champion Mateusz „Dynamit" Legierski (13-2), after a serious back injury that kept him out of the cage for over a year, returned to the throne with a unanimous five-round victory over Attila Korkmaz. Now he's looking to defend the lightweight title for the first time. His weapon is a murderous pace that breaks opponents in the late rounds. Facing him is finisher Gökhan „Abinator" Aksu (14-6-1), who is practically a stranger to the judges' scorecards. All fourteen of his wins came before the final bell, eleven of them by KO. Will Legierski drown his challenger in the deep waters of the late rounds, or will the Turkish finisher deliver yet another lightning-fast stoppage?

ALINA DALASLAN VS. DJULIA ARIANA

The unbeaten German hope steps into the biggest test of her career. Home star Alina „Iron Fist" Dalaslan (5-0), IMMAF world champion and protégé of boxing legend Regina Halmich, holds a clean record and wants to defend it at all costs in front of her Berlin crowd. But standing in her way is Brazilian striker Djulia Ariana (5-2), who relies on an aggressive stance and hard exchanges. Can Dalaslan handle the pressure of the biggest gala evening of her career, or will the Brazilian striker end her unbeaten run in front of a packed Uber Arena?

DENIS FRIMPONG VS. NIKO SAMSONIDSE

The Irish showman comes to Berlin to ruin the home hero's plans. Denis „The Menace" Frimpong (8-3) is a relentless fighter who crushes opponents with his pace and a loud show to boot. But standing in his way in his home city is Niko „One Love" Samsonidse (12-4), one of Germany's best submission specialists and a two-time challenger for the OKTAGON featherweight title. Now moving up to lightweight, he intends to celebrate his Berlin debut with a victory. Can the home grappler silence the Irish showman, or will Frimpong bury him under relentless pressure?

NIKLAS STOLZE VS. TYRONE PFEIFER

One came to confirm his position, the other came to steal it. Magdeburg veteran Niklas „Green Mask" Stolze (14-9), the very first fighter to make it from OKTAGON to the UFC, arrives in Berlin with a reputation as a fighter who simply cannot be ignored. But hungry home talent Tyrone Pfeifer (7-1) is coming for him — a fighter who, after scalping the feared „German Executioner" Bartl, feels this is his life's chance to break into the elite.

ATTILA KORKMAZ VS. SAID-KHUSEIN AKHYADOV

The Berlin hero returns with something to prove. Home fighter Attila „The Fearless" Korkmaz (16-11), number three in the lightweight rankings, is promising a spectacular finish after his losing title fight against Legierski. But stepping in his way is Stuttgart's Said-Khusein „Borz" Akhyadov (8-5), who accepted this enormous challenge at the last minute and arrives in Berlin with one goal: to shock the arena and steal the scalp of the home favourite. Will Korkmaz return to winning ways, or will the determined late replacement spring a surprise in front of his own crowd?

ARIJAN TOPALLAJ VS. JAN STANOVSKÝ

The Albanian Eagle is going hunting. Arijan Topallaj (9-2-1) has seven first-round victories to his name and enters the cage with one goal: to finish before the bell rings. But standing in his way is Jan Stanovský (8-2), a Brno prospect riding a three-fight finishing streak with a fresh win over Rajewski. Which of these two relentless finishers will send his opponent to the canvas first?

MATĚJ PEŇÁZ VS. ALAN SILVA

The long-awaited return of a Czech star. Matěj „Money" Peňáz (10-1), unbeaten in OKTAGON, steps back into the cage after a year and a half away. Nine of his ten victories didn't need to wait for the judges' verdict. Standing in his way is seasoned Brazilian veteran Alan Silva (20-13-1), ruler of five Brazilian organisations with double champion status. Can Peňáz cap his return with yet another finish?

AHMAD HALIMSON VS. JOSEPH DONKOR

The Berlin hunter steps out in front of his home crowd. Ahmad Halimson (7-4-1) brings relentless pressure that gives his opponents no room to breathe. He last used it to take down Jan Malach and wants to build on that performance at the Uber Arena. But determined Joseph Donkor (6-2) is coming to stop him, arriving in Berlin with one aim: to ruin Halimson's evening and steal every bit of the spotlight for himself.

ZAFAR MOHSEN VS. RICHIE SMULLEN

A hard finisher will face a fighter from the gym that produced Conor McGregor himself. Experienced German veteran Zafar „The Powerhouse" Mohsen (14-4) is dangerous both on the feet and on the ground — six wins by KO/TKO and five by submission. He outpointed Samuel Bark in his OKTAGON debut and arrives in Berlin on a four-fight winning streak. But facing him is Richie Smullen (15-4-1) of the famous SBG Ireland, a seasoned fighter with experience from Bellator and The Ultimate Fighter reality show, who stopped Barborík and most recently shared the cage with Ivan Buchinger.

DAVLET KARATAEV VS. DANIEL SALAS

One of Europe's greatest lightweight talents will open the entire evening. Berlin's Davlet Karataev (8-2) is a technically refined fighter with an unpredictable style, and in front of his home crowd he wants to show the world why everyone is talking about him. But standing in his way is experienced Mexican fighter Daniel Salas (20-8-1), a champion with three titles from the Mexican Budo Sento Championship, who went through The Ultimate Fighter and also competed in Japan's RIZIN. Can the young talent handle the pressure of a seasoned Mexican finisher?

Berlin is gearing up for OKTAGON's first-ever gala evening, and Uber Arena on June 20 will host two title fights and a whole army of home stars.
