SCORECARDS Z OKTAGONU 68: PROJDI SI ZÁPASY OČIMA ROZHODČÍCH

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

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

The most beautiful tournament of the year at Prague's Štvanice brought a thrilling spectacle! A magical open-air night delivered a historical milestone when Makhmud Muradov brutally knocked out Will Fleury to claim the light heavyweight championship throne. Undefeated Lucia Szabová and local favorite David Kozma also defended their undeniable qualities in exhausting battles. Who else claimed a valuable scalp in front of the roaring stands and left an indelible mark in the cage?

LUCIE PUDILOVÁ</h2>The highly anticipated title fight kicked off with exchanges on the feet. Lucia Szabová landed precise shots right from the start, but Lucie Pudilová soon managed to take the fight to the ground. Although the Czech fighter established a dominant position there, the Slovak champion managed to get back to her feet and ultimately snatched the balanced opening act for herself. The second five-minute round also offered a thrilling spectacle, in which Szabová showed slightly better accuracy. In the third round, the battle moved to the ground again, but this time the undefeated bantamweight queen dominated from the top position. Even though Pudilová stepped on the gas in the fourth round and managed to generate massive pressure, the final minutes of this exhausting war offered an absolute tug-of-war in the cage, with the initiative shifting from one side to the other. In the end, the more accurate Lucia Szabová takes home a well-deserved decision victory from this clash, continuing her magnificent run and comfortably defending her championship throne.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1445"></oktfightcomponent><h2>WILL FLEURY VS. MAKHMUD MURADOV</h2>A historical war that shook the history of OKTAGON. The light heavyweight title fight and the clash of the two highest-ranked fighters delivered a shocking resolution! Will Fleury started the duel with immense pressure and quickly pushed Makhmud Muradov against the fence. However, the experienced "Mach" managed to escape the difficult situation and struck the Irish champion. Fleury kept a cool head, successfully took the fight to the ground, and controlled the progression from a dominant position almost until the end of the opening round. In the final seconds, however, Muradov got back up and unleashed a devastating shot. Fleury went down, but the bell saved him from a potential finish. The Irish ruler thus claimed the first round. However, the Uzbek striker flew into the second round and, after just a few seconds, landed another brutal punch that sent a visibly shaken Fleury crashing to the canvas. Muradov didn't wait around and definitively ended the match with a final salvo of punches. OKTAGON thus crowns a new king of the light heavyweight division, while Will Fleury loses his invincibility within the organization.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1467"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DAVID KOZMA VS. DAVID ZAWADA</h2>The highly anticipated clash of the two Davids started exactly according to the local favorite's plan. Shortly after the initial feeling-out process, David Kozma managed to deliver a successful takedown and got David Zawada under him on the ground. There, he easily established clear control, kept his opponent in the bottom position for the rest of the first round, and confidently claimed it for himself. The second round offered an almost identical scenario. The "Pink Panther" once again quickly took the battle to the canvas right at the beginning. Although the German veteran persistently tried to fight his way back to his feet, Kozma constantly pressured him against the fence and forced him back on the defensive, safely securing this part of the duel as well. Conversely, the majority of the final round took place on the feet, where both warriors exchanged several sharp blows. However, a minute before the end, Kozma confirmed his dominance, delivered another precise takedown, and managed the end of the match with absolute ease. Following a mature performance, he celebrates a hugely important decision victory and takes a massive step toward his dream clash with Eckerlin at the Frankfurt stadium.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1470"></oktfightcomponent><h2>HAFENI NAFUKA VS. TOMÁŠ MUDROCH</h2>The clash of styles started sharply right from the very first second. Hafeni Nafuka immediately dove for a takedown, but Tomáš Mudroch displayed exemplary defense and established a dominant position on the ground himself. After a quick return to their feet, the German fighter pushed forward, but the "Ostrava Express" landed hard punches from the defensive and snatched the first round. In the second act, Nafuka managed to fight his way to his opponent's back, where he maintained control for a large part of the round. He then repeatedly threatened with relentless pressure against the fence, took Mudroch down several times, and evened the scorecards. The final five minutes in the cage offered a similar wrestling scenario, which was enriched by sharp striking exchanges. After an exhausting battle, Tomáš Mudroch ultimately celebrates a highly valuable decision victory.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1463"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB BATFALSKÝ VS. VOJTĚCH KHOL</h2>The anticipated Czech derby between two young talents started with tactical measuring. A large part of the opening round took place in a clinch against the fence. Batfalský managed to win the first round. Vojtěch Khol entered the second five minutes with a clear plan to push his opponent against the fence and, after a successful takedown, managed to get him on the ground. In the second round, Vojtěch Khol stepped on the gas, pushed his opponent against the fence, and successfully took the duel to the mat. However, the Ostrava shooter kept a cool head and, thanks to effective defense and more precise strikes, secured this part of the match as well. The final round then saw enormous effort from Khol for a complete turnaround. He delivered another successful takedown and established a dominant ground position. But Batfalský once again confirmed his qualities, managed to fight his way back to his feet, and did not allow his opponent to break the unfavorable course of the match. The Ostrava shooter thus celebrates a well-deserved decision victory after a tactical performance.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1472"></oktfightcomponent>PRELIMS<h2>DAVID HOŠEK VS. DANIEL SCHWINDT</h2>The anticipated clash of two elite strikers delivered a thrilling spectacle right from the opening seconds.

Both fighters flew into the second round at a tremendous pace, and the attractive battle in the cage continued to offer wild exchanges. The scorecards after the second round showed an even score for two judges, while one had David Hošek leading by two points. Even the final five minutes did not slow down the hellish pace.

Aronov thus claims an incredibly valuable TKO scalp from this wild shootout, while the Czech fan favorite does not get to celebrate his grand return to the cage.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1451"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB TICHOTA VS.

In the second round, both fighters exchanged several sharp strikes on the feet. Before the end of the round, the battle moved back to the canvas, where the local representative attempted a leg lock. The German opponent skillfully escaped the situation and immediately secured a dominant position again. Even in the final round, Tichota could not find an effective recipe against his precisely fighting opponent.

LUCIE PUDILOVÁ</h2>The main event of the evening and the female fight of the century. Undefeated Slovak champion Lucia "Silent Killer" Szabová (11-0), historically the first double champion of OKTAGON, will defend her bantamweight throne against Lucie Pudilová (17-11), historically the first Czech woman in the UFC. The duel was supposed to take place twice already, but was thwarted both times by injury or illness. After more than a year and a half of waiting, they will finally meet at Štvanice. Can Pudilová seize a historic victory and hand the champion her first loss, or will Szabová confirm her absolute dominance and keep her throne?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1445"></oktfightcomponent><h2>WILL FLEURY VS. MAKHMUD MURADOV</h2>The highest-ranked men's fight in the history of OKTAGON according to world rankings. Irish champion Will Fleury (17-3) is currently the reigning ruler of two divisions. Originally, he was supposed to defend his belt at Štvanice in a rematch with Daniel Škvor. However, Škvor got injured twelve days before the tournament, so Makhmud "Mach" Muradov (29-8), the interim middleweight champion, stepped into the cage instead. Muradov is moving to the light heavyweight division, planning to thwart Fleury's plan to become the first triple champion. Will Fleury manage to defend the belt, or will Muradov become the first man to defeat him in OKTAGON?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1467"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DAVID KOZMA VS. DAVID ZAWADA</h2>A clash of two Davids, which could decide the fate of both. Fan favorite and the longest-reigning champion in OKTAGON history David "Pink Panther" Kozma (33-15) returns to Štvanice after eight years with the goal of confirming that his return to the winning track this year was no coincidence. Facing him is UFC, KSW, and PFL veteran David "Sagat" Zawada (20-12), who is returning to the welterweight division where he once reached the UFC, and recently showed in a tough battle with Daniel Ligocký how hard it is to beat him. Will Kozma find his way back to the top, or will the experienced Zawada send him to another defeat?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1470"></oktfightcomponent><h2>HAFENI NAFUKA VS. TOMÁŠ MUDROCH</h2>A clash between a fast finisher and a patient grappler. Tomáš "Ostrava Express" Mudroch (8-2) delivered all eight of his professional wins in the first round and is one of the organization's most dangerous strikers. Against him stands Hafeni "The Namibian Nightmare" Nafuka (12-4), a German fighter with Namibian roots and one of the best grapplers in his division. Will Mudroch deliver another quick finish, or will Nafuka with stand his opponent's pressure and take the fight to where he is most dangerous?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1463"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB BATFALSKÝ VS. VOJTĚCH KHOL</h2>A Czech derby between two young talents in the featherweight division. Vojtěch "Vichr z hor" Khol (3-1), a three-time Czech amateur champion from Patrik Kincl's stable, questioned Batfalský's place in the top ten on social media. Ostrava-born striker Jakub Batfalský (9-2) accepted the challenge with pleasure. Will Batfalský turn his experience into another triumph, or will Khol snatch the biggest victory of his professional career so far?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1472"></oktfightcomponent>PRELIMS<h2>DAVID HOŠEK VS. DANIEL SCHWINDT</h2>We probably won't need judges for this one! Local powerhouse and feared striker David Hošek (13-8-1) wants to jump back on the winning track after a loss to Poppeck. He plans to use his famous "grenades" for that. The tough German striker Daniel Schwindt (8-5), who has victories over names like Úškrt or Bartl, has the same plan. Both fighters experienced defeats in their last duels and are now playing for everything. We are in for a brutal shootout where only the one with the tougher chin survives.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1471"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MIROSLAV BROŽ VS. RAFAEL ARONOV</h2>A return after twenty-seven months in retirement. Miroslav "The Inquisitor" Brož (17-4-1) hung up his gloves after a loss to Christian Eckerlin, but now he is returning exactly where he made his debut in 2018 at the OKTAGON 7 tournament. He has scalps like Jungwirth, Pukač, or Primeira. Standing in his way is Israeli debutant Rafael "The Cop" Aronov (8-6), who has delivered all eight of his victories so far before the limit. Can Brož jump back into form after a long break, or can the dangerous debutant stop him?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1451"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB TICHOTA VS. FIRAS DAUD</h2>The anticipated return of one of the greatest Czech talents. Jakub "Chimp" Tichota (6-4), a two-time challenger for the OKTAGON featherweight title, returns to the cage after a serious injury. Facing him is German fighter Firas Daud (5-1), who has delivered all five of his professional wins before the limit and debuted in OKTAGON with a close loss to Václav Štěpán. Will Tichota find his form again, or will the German prospect add another quick finish to his list?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1474"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ROMAN PAULUS VS. HARUN KURT</h2>Winner of the fifth season of OKTAGON Challenge, Roman Paulus (12-6), has passed through the fire of heavy wars and now needs to confirm his qualities in a new weight category, seeking stability in bantamweight after moving from featherweight. Standing in his way is Harun Kurt (6-0), one of the drivers of the German scene, who as a professional has not yet tasted the bitterness of defeat. Will Paulus manage to stop the German machine, or will Kurt record his seventh consecutive victory?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1456"></oktfightcomponent>FREE PRELIMS<h2>IVAN KLEVETS VS. KEVIN ENZ</h2>The beginning of the entire gala evening promises a fantastic spectacle. Ukrainian combat sambo master Ivan Klevets (4-3), training at the Monster Gym in Prague, is riding a wave of four wins and showing that his initial losses were just a hard lesson. Now he will be tested by the youngest holder of a black belt in BJJ in Germany, Kevin Enz (6-4). The top grappler is coming to stop Klevets' rise. Which of the two rising fighters will start the evening at Štvanice better?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1480"></oktfightcomponent>Ten years of the yellow-black colossus will culminate right where its greatest stories were written.

ŠTVANICE FIGHT CARD FIGHT BY FIGHT: TWO TITLE BOUTS FOR THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY

The 10th-anniversary card hides more than you expect. Get ready for the female clash of the century that fell through twice, the highest-ranked male duel in the organization's history, and exactly nine athletes returning to the island. Dive into the greatest stories OKTAGON 92 has to offer!<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/bccdd896-cb2a-453e-a538-8d917d291422/cs.1785331330276.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/ea40821c-125f-460d-9029-fb4703a77f32/cs.1785331336457.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>RETURNS TO THE ISLAND</h2>Nine fighters are returning to Štvanice, a place they know all too well. Kozma and Zawada, along with Lucia Szabová and Vojtěch Khol, are stepping back into this arena following last year’s OKTAGON 74, where Khol made his debut and Szabová claimed her first title. Miroslav Brož and David Hošek made their promotional debuts here back in 2018 at OKTAGON 7, the very first MMA event hosted on this island. Roman Paulus and Ivan Klevets went to battle here in 2023 at OKTAGON 45, which marked Klevets' debut. This elite group also includes Makhmud Muradov, who fought at Štvanice in 2019 at OKTAGON 13.<h2>FEMALE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY, CANCELLED TWICE</h2>The Main Event promises the biggest Czech-Slovak female clash in history. Lucia Szabová (11-0), the double champion of the bantamweight and flyweight divisions, will defend her throne against Lucia Pudilová (17-11), the first Czech woman in the UFC. The road to this super fight was unusually thorny. The warriors were supposed to meet on December 29, 2024, at OKTAGON 65 in Prague’s O2 arena, but a severe flu with high fevers took Szabová out just days before the bout. Cecilie Bolander stepped in on short notice and defeated Pudilová. The second attempt came on June 14, 2025, at OKTAGON 72 in Eden, but this time a torn ligament and meniscus took Pudilová out of the game. Finally, on the third try and after more than a year and a half of waiting, the war will happen at Štvanice.<h2>A RUGBY INJURY THAT FORGED A CHAMPION</h2>Original challenger Daniel Škvor tore his pectoral muscle less than two weeks before the tournament and was forced to withdraw. Stepping up on twelve days' notice is interim middleweight champion Makhmud Muradov. Thanks to this change, we are getting the highest-ranked male fight in the organization's history. Will Fleury is the 31st light heavyweight on the planet, while Muradov is the 34th best fighter in the middleweight division.Fleury found his way to MMA completely by accident. During a rugby match, an opponent landed a knee on his foot, crushing his instep. During recovery, his physiotherapist recommended boxing footwork. He found an MMA gym that was just opening, and Will Fleury never returned to rugby. Today, the double champion holds a 2135-day undefeated streak.<h2>THE BIRTHDAY DUEL OF TWO DAVIDS</h2>David Zawada was born on August 1, 1990. At Štvanice, he will celebrate his 36th birthday directly inside the cage. He earned the nickname "Sagat" during his first clash in 2010. With a shaved head and Muay Thai shorts, he reminded a friend of the character from Street Fighter.His opponent will be the legendary David Kozma, who celebrates his birthday on August 13, just twelve days later. Kozma is the longest-reigning champion in OKTAGON history, holding the welterweight belt for an incredible 1477 days and defending his title five times. He also boasts the record for the most successful takedowns in OKTAGON, delivering 49 in total. He has worn the "Pink Panther" nickname since childhood, always wearing pink and calling himself a "pretty boy." To this day, he dyes his hair pink for his fights and enters the cage in pink shorts.<h2>LEGO LOVER AND A GRAPPLER WHO CAN'T SWIM</h2>Tomáš Mudroch has delivered all eight of his professional wins in the very first round. His average time to victory is 1 minute and 49 seconds, the shortest among all active fighters in the organization. He attacks opponents with kicks every 13 seconds on average, setting the fastest pace among male athletes. He has six TKO/KO finishes as a pro, yet all his amateur wins came via submission. He earned the nickname “Ostravský expres” after his debut win in OKTAGON, mimicking a train sound in the post-fight interview. His guilty pleasure outside the cage? Building Lego.Facing him is Namibian-born Hafeni Nafuka, one of the best grapplers in his division. He has 32 successful takedowns to his name, the third highest in OKTAGON history. Although he regularly drowns his opponents in the deep waters of elite grappling, he hides one paradoxical handicap. He cannot swim at all.<h2>TRASHED EXAMS AND A BEAUTY PAGEANT SILVER</h2>Jakub Batfalský got into MMA as a kid by playing the UFC game on Xbox. Despite being only 23, he has already been tested in the cage by names like Karol Ryšavý and Gjoni Palokaj. Before his bout with Ryšavý, he even skipped his final high school exams to fully focus on his preparation. He also participated in the Mr. Man 2025 competition, taking home silver.Standing in his way is Vojtěch Khol from All Sports Academy, who was inspired to start martial arts at 16 by Conor McGregor. Khol called Batfalský out on social media. Outside the cage, he co-hosts the Fight and Talk podcast with his coach, Patrik Kincl.<h2>THINGS YOU HAVEN'T HEARD YET</h2><ul><li>Roman Paulus is one of only three fighters in OKTAGON history to win in three different weight classes.</li><li>Jakub Tichota fought four full rounds against Losene Keita with a broken collarbone.</li><li>David Hošek is a Mensa member with a measured IQ of 130.</li><li>Miroslav Brož is a former hockey talent who shared a locker room with future NHL star Michal Neuvirth before switching to MMA.

ŠTVANICE FUNFACTS: BIRTHDAY CLASH, MENSA MEMBER & GRAPPLER WHO CAN'T SWIM 

Twelve days. That’s how much time was left before the planned title rematch when a snap occurred, turning the script of OKTAGON 92 upside down. Daniel Škvor tore his pectoral muscle tendon during his final training session, and his fight for the light heavyweight belt ended before it even began. In his place, Makhmud Muradov, the reigning interim middleweight champion, will fly to Prague's Štvanice on August 1st, having accepted the challenge without hesitation. This creates a duel that, according to world rankings, has the highest combined standing in the organization's history.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/8db2768f-9a64-4653-b017-1abe3f67421b/cs.1785161970993.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a6da998b-b40a-4a95-8e04-df9650072ac1/cs.1785161976643.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" cropcornertl="false" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>A REPLACEMENT THAT SHUFFLED THE DECK</h2>Just a few weeks ago, Fleury was supposed to defend his belt against Daniel Škvor at Štvanice. Their first clash at OKTAGON 56, where Fleury finished Škvor with an arm-triangle, was supposed to get a rematch, which Škvor earned after four consecutive wins. However, just before the tournament, an injury occurred that couldn't be helped – a torn pectoral muscle tendon, which could have ended his career if it got worse. Škvor chose his health and withdrew. "If I tore it completely, it would end my career. I'm sorry," the disappointed fighter messaged his fans. A replacement was needed. And one came. Makhmud Muradov accepted the offer immediately, even though he has to move up a weight class for the title chance. According to world rankings, this is the highest-ranked men's fight in OKTAGON history. Fleury currently ranks 31st in the light heavyweight division, Muradov 34th in the middleweight division.<h2>UNSTOPPABLE IRISH PHENOMENON WILL FLEURY</h2>Double champion Will Fleury (17-3, 1 NC) was brought to combat sports by an injury. The native of the Irish town of Cahir in County Tipperary played rugby in New York, where an opponent's knee crushed his leg during a tackle. The fracture sidelined him from the field for months, and doctors recommended boxing footwork as part of his rehabilitation. Fleury headed to a boxing club, where he stumbled upon a cage. At that moment, he decided to try MMA. It turned out to be fate. Under the banner of the famous SBG Ireland, he built a reputation as a fighter who cannot be stopped by physical pain or foreign territory. His path led him to American Bellator or PFL, where he gathered valuable experience against the world's elite and confirmed that he can stand his ground on the big stage. He then returned to Europe with a clear goal – to conquer OKTAGON.He entered OKTAGON in April 2024 at the OKTAGON 56 tournament in Birmingham, where he took Daniel Škvor to the ground and finished him with an arm-triangle in the second round. It was just a prelude. In October, at the football stadium in Frankfurt, he added a knockout of Pavol Langer in the very first round, and at the end of 2024 at OKTAGON 65 in Prague's O2 arena, he defeated Karlos Vémola on points to win the light heavyweight belt. Three months later at OKTAGON 68 in Stuttgart, he survived a five-round war with Lazar Todev for the vacant heavyweight title and became the organization's double champion. In December 2025, he sent Martin Buday to the floor during the first round, and this June at OKTAGON 90 in Berlin, he finished Kasim Aras with a second-round knockout. Fleury is undefeated in OKTAGON, with a streak of six consecutive wins, and is speaking loudly about how even two belts aren't enough for him. He dreams of the middleweight title, which would make him the historically first triple champion of OKTAGON.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DbBrkpmshgi/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>MAKHMUD MURADOV: UZBEK FIGHTER WITH A CZECH HEART</h2>Makhmud "Mach" Muradov (29-8, 1 NC) was born in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, from where his family had to flee to Uzbekistan in the nineties to escape the civil war. When his father was sidelined from normal life by a serious car accident, fifteen-year-old Muradov quit school and supported his family himself. He also earned money in the Russian Siberia, where he went through a rough environment and his life was literally on the line several times. Combat sports were his only refuge and at the same time his only way out.The breakthrough came in 2011, when he headed to Prague empty-handed. He worked as a construction worker and waiter before Petr "Monster" Kníže discovered him and took him under his wing at the Prague Monster Gym. He debuted in OKTAGON back in 2019 and finished his opponents with a knockout twice. In Bratislava, he defeated Alberto Pereira, and a few weeks later, right at Štvanice, he sent Wendell Marques to the floor. It was this series that catapulted him overseas. He became the first MMA fighter signed to Floyd Mayweather's stable and left to fight in the UFC, where he collected valuable scalps and hard lessons. He returned to OKTAGON last September, where he defeated Scott Askham on points at the OKTAGON 61 tournament in Brno. In March of this year at OKTAGON 68 in Stuttgart, he finished Yasubey Enomoto with a hard TKO in the second round, and in June at the sold-out Eden stadium at OKTAGON 72, he outpointed Patrik Kincl to win the interim middleweight title. Since his return to OKTAGON, Muradov is undefeated with three wins in a row, and now he is attacking the higher division head-on, with a clear goal. He intends to win Fleury's light heavyweight belt.<h2>WHO WILL TAKE HOME THE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT BELT?</h2>The stakes are high on both sides. Fleury already holds two belts, and another defense would bring him closer to his dream of becoming the organization's first-ever triple champion. Muradov, on the other hand, holds the interim middleweight champion position, but at Štvanice, he is going one weight class up and attacking Fleury's belt in a division where he has never fought before. Fleury's pressure and dominance on the ground belong to the most feared weapons of the entire organization; Muradov, in turn, brings speed and power, which gives him eighteen career KO/TKOs. Who will walk away from this fight of the highest-ranked fighters in the organization as the winner? We will find out on August 1st at Štvanice.The OKTAGON 92 tournament will strike on August 1st at Prague's Štvanice and will become the climax of the organization's tenth-anniversary celebrations. The island in the middle of the Vltava is hopelessly sold out. But you won't miss out on the entertainment!

MURADOV STEPS IN AGAINST FLEURY IN THE HIGHEST-RANKED FIGHT IN OKTAGON HISTORY

Twice he was supposed to face a foreign opponent. Twice came injury and an empty spot in the cage. When it looked like one of the biggest talents on the domestic scene would be left without a fight at Štvanice, a voice from the Podkrkonoší region spoke up. Vojtěch Khol stepped up, called out Batfalský on social media, and saved the duel with his own challenge. The celebration of ten years of OKTAGON will break out on August 1st, and Štvanice will witness a clash of two young talents.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/cf322dab-98d3-458b-9524-e2a443288845/cs.1784805711064.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/46aafe72-27c7-40cb-b05c-0a0cce430ce2/cs.1784805715867.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>JAKUB BATFALSKÝ: THE OSTRAVA SNIPER AIMING FOR THE TOP</h2>Jakub Batfalský (9-2) is considered by many fans to be the biggest talent the Czech scene has produced in recent years, and his amateur trophy case only confirms it. In 2021, he collected titles as the champion of the Czech Republic (MMAA) and Slovakia (MAMMAL) and brought home bronze from the European Championship of the GAMMA federation. He jumped into the pro ranks a year later and ended his very first match with an armbar in just forty-three seconds. Since then, the tall Ostrava sniper has been building his career on a hard, precise stand-up game and a hunger for the belt.In the yellow-black cage, he holds a 4-2 record. In his debut, he ran into Sami Zarabi, against whom he lost on points. Subsequently, he ran over Dominik Toporcer by TKO in the first round, was the first to defeat the then-undefeated Joel Batob, and outpointed the legendary Karol Ryšavý at the stadium in Prague's Eden. When he got the main event of the tournament in Hannover, he hit a wall for the first time. Gjoni Palokaj defeated him on points, and Batfalský himself admitted that he "threw the tactics away after five seconds." But he absorbed the lesson and returned this February at home in Ostrava with a win over Eugene Black-Dell. Outside the cage, he even managed to win silver in the Man of the Year contest. Now he holds seventh place in the top ten of the featherweight division and is speaking loudly about the title.<h2>VOJTĚCH KHOL: THE STORM FROM THE MOUNTAINS WHO ASKED FOR A CHANCE&nbsp;</h2>Standing against him is a man who asked for this fight himself. Vojtěch "The Storm from the Mountains" Khol (3-1) comes from Hostinné in the Podkrkonoší region. Before he even looked into the pros, he collected dozens of amateur fights, dominated the national championship three times, and represented the country at world championships under the IMMAF banner. Today, he sharpens his ground game craft at the Hradec All Sports Academy alongside Patrik Kincl and David Dvořák.He started his story in OKTAGON exactly according to plan. He jumped into his debut at Štvanice last year at the last minute, just six days before the tournament, and choked out Italian fighter Raphael Federico with a guillotine in the third round. A sobering reality came at the end of the year when Hugo Vach outpointed him at the O2 arena. However, Khol didn't back down once and left with the reputation of a man with a concrete chin. He doesn't feature in the rankings yet, so he didn't wait for an invitation. On Instagram, he took a shot at Batfalský's position among the elite: "In my life, I've seen a fighter jet reverse, a local Ostrava guy cheer for Opava, but Kuba Batfalský being seventh in our weight class? You boy, how did you get there, where did you pop up from? That's not possible. In my opinion, you have no business there." And he added the date right away. Štvanice, August 1st.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DaQCcXzIYI3/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>A TALL SNIPER AGAINST A GRITTY GROUND FIGHTER</h2>We have a pure Czech derby of two predators here, separated by a chasm of styles. On one side, a lanky Ostrava stand-up fighter with a reach thirteen centimeters longer and a hard punch. On the other, a shorter, tireless ground fighter who will want to drag him to the ground. Batfalský has something to lose, Khol has something to gain. One came to confirm his place among the elite, the other came to deprive him of it.The most beautiful tournament of the year returns! The OKTAGON 92 tournament will turn the Prague Štvanice into an open-air arena on August 1st, and together we will celebrate ten years of the yellow-black colossus.

THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN ANSWERED! KHOL WILL FACE BATFALSKÝ AT ŠTVANICE

As a young boy, he would sit at the winter stadium on Prague's Štvanice at six in the morning, dreaming of a grand hockey career. More than twenty years later, he enters the very same open-air island as one of the most beloved athletes OKTAGON has ever seen. Miroslav "Inquisitor" Brož (17-4-1) returns from his fighting retirement on August 1st at the OKTAGON 92 tournament, ready to leave his soul in the cage once again. What drives a warrior who already said goodbye to his combat journey? Read the story of a man who hit rock bottom and fought his way back to the top.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/904909ad-a31d-44e0-8cf3-ed45af568cee/cs.1784547985149.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/cfbaa45c-abd6-4695-982d-a7f185b8c7de/cs.1784547987564.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>GOALIE WITH A FATEFUL INJURY</h2>Brož's story didn't start in combat, but on the ice. He was drawn to hockey at the age of ten by the Nagano euphoria, and his relentless work ethic propelled him upward. Within a year he was at Slavia; in three years, he made the national team. He went through the youth selections from fifteen to eighteen, shared a national locker room with future NHL stars, and alongside Michal Neuvirth, was nominated for the Under-18 World Championship—the exact event that opens doors to the overseas draft. The interest was real, and the dream was within reach.Then came the breaking point. After a severe bout of pneumonia, he returned to the ice too soon. During his first explosive movement, he tore a muscle and was forced into a six-month hiatus. "The train just left without me. You constantly hear you're on track for the NHL, and suddenly you realize it's not going to happen. It's devastating when a lifelong dream you sacrificed absolutely everything for collapses," Brož recalls. He tried his luck in lower leagues but found no solid ground. At nineteen, he hung up his skates and cut ties with hockey so deeply that he couldn't even watch it on TV for a long time.<h2>THREE YEARS OF DARKNESS</h2>He filled the void left by his hockey dreams with alcohol, nightclubs, and street fights. "It was very wild, very problematic. I was one step away from doing time. It lasted about three years. Three years of drinking while simultaneously battling anxiety," he says, describing a period he refuses to hide. He would wake up depressed, asking friends who he had assaulted the night before. He walked a razor's edge. "There were times when I was a bad person. A very bad person. A thug. We were very close to meeting in prison," he recounts in the book OKTAGON Bez frází.<h2>THE BIRTH OF THE INQUISITOR</h2>The end of his downward spiral came abruptly. "One beautiful day, I realized this couldn't go on. I quit overnight," Brož states. He stopped drinking, severed ties with his toxic environment, and found two unbreakable anchors: faith and combat sports. As an active Protestant, he still attends church, considering the Bible the cornerstone around which he builds his life. Because of his faith, he even has a unique clause in his contract: he will never step into a fight on Saturday before sunset, as the Bible dictates one should not work on that day.From this exact paradox, his legendary nickname was forged. It was coined by his coach at Renegade Prague Gym, who couldn't fathom how a deeply religious man could be so ruthlessly vicious during sparring. Outside the cage, he is a humble, smiling believer; inside the fence, he transforms into the "Inquisitor" who preaches and punishes with his fists. He laughs about it himself: "As a Protestant, it's the worst nickname I could possibly have."<h2>A WARRIOR WHO ASKS FOR THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGES</h2>Brož didn't bring the textbook technique of a pure standup fighter into the cage, but he brought something that cannot be taught: a bottomless will and an iron resilience that has become legendary. "I have no talent, I didn't have it in hockey either. With me, everything is grind, will, heart, and diligence,” describes the man who has collected dozens of broken noses, tore biceps tendons on both arms, and yet refused surgery just to rush back to training. He has stepped into battles with a torn thigh muscle and on antibiotics. And through it all, in his entire professional career, no one has managed to finish him via submission.His debut in OKTAGON took place precisely at Štvanice, when he defeated Gabriel Török under the open sky in 2018. A year later, he returned, but this time tasted the bitterness of defeat, losing to Jakub Běle via TKO in the first round. Over time, he earned the reputation of an athlete who actively demands the most dangerous opponents. One of the most famous clashes unfolded at OKTAGON 24 in May 2021, when he requested the indestructible Christian Jungwirth. He knew exactly what he was getting into, yet he engaged in an all-out, fifteen-minute war. OKTAGON still honors this duel as one of the most beautiful in its history, a night where Brož ultimately raised his hand in victory.<h2>A BLOODY FAREWELL AND A FATHER IN THE CROWD</h2>Jungwirth was far from the only big name on Brož's hit list. He forced Frenchman Emmanuel Dawa to tap out in the first round and choked out Igor Daniš in the third. Most of his victories share a distinct signature: three grueling rounds decided by the judges, just like his razor-thin win over Adam Šindelář. He collected eight wins in the organization. Ne always it however happened according to his imagination. All four of his career defeats took place inside the OKTAGON. In Ostrava at OKTAGON 11, Slovak Milan Ďatelinka stopped him; a year later came the loss to Jakub Běle. The narrowest defeat was handed to him by Jan Malach in a split-decision war at OKTAGON 20.He wrote his own final chapter. At OKTAGON 57, inside a sold-out Frankfurt arena, he challenged local king Christian Eckerlin and once again pushed through agonizing pain. "I'll leave my heart in there," he promised before the battle. Though he lost via TKO, he stunned the home crowd's star multiple times, leaving the battlefield covered in blood and deeply moved. A mountain of injuries and a desire to be with his family led to the decision to end. His strongest bond is with his father, who is over eighty and attends his matches in person. "My dad and I don't need to say anything. We just see each other and start laughing," he says. Outside the sport, he trains young hockey goalies, some of whom are reaching the national level. That was supposed to be the end. But after twenty-seven months, the adrenaline called him back.<h2>A COP WHO FORGIVES NO MISTAKES</h2>The Inquisitor returns exactly where his OKTAGON story began, and a brutal test awaits him. Standing in his way is Israeli specialist Rafael "The Cop" Aronov, a member of the elite Israeli police forces. He holds a black belt in Luta Livre, masters Krav Maga, and has secured all eight of his victories before the time limit. The question is absolute: Can the Inquisitor's boundless heart and insane pressure break the cold, calculated precision of the Israeli officer, or will Aronov prove that after a two-year hiatus, a comeback is nothing but a shattered dream?OKTAGON 92 will transform Prague's Štvanice into an open-air colosseum on August 1st, and Miroslav Brož returns to the very spot where his combat legacy began.

As a young boy, he would sit at the winter stadium on Prague's Štvanice at six in the morning, dreaming of a grand hockey career. More than twenty years later, he enters the very same open-air island as one of the most beloved athletes OKTAGON has ever seen.

A WARRIOR'S TALE: INQUISITOR BROŽ RETURNS HOME TO ŠTVANICE

Not long ago, they sweated on the same mat, fed lions together in "Vémoland," and parted as friends. Now they will clash in the cage. Karlos "The Terminator" Vémola snatched the fight of the century trilogy last June, claimed the unique "Infinity" belt, and immediately announced his retirement right in the cage. His retirement lasted fifteen months. He was lured back into action by a challenge from Frederic "The Neanderthal" Vosgröne, a German phenomenon and currently one of the most followed faces in local MMA. The celebrations of the yellow-and-black colossus's ten-year anniversary will culminate on September 26 at Deutsche Bank Park arena in Frankfurt. Will the Czech legend defend his legacy, or will a new global star be born before the eyes of sixty thousand spectators?<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/037f8edf-d081-4d50-81b5-80240a0bb466/cs.1784546779327.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/8aa41d2e-0f7d-46c5-9d4e-9eba5284ac6d/cs.1784546784341.png" link="" croppedcorners="true" cropcornertl="false" enablecornersmobile="false" smallercorners="false"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>KARLOS VEMOLA: THE TERMINATOR RETURNS TO DEFEND HIS LEGACY</h2>Karlos Vémola (38-9) is an icon without whom Central European MMA would not be where it is today. His father introduced him to combat sports when he enrolled him in Greco-Roman wrestling at Sokol Olomouc at the age of six. As a young man, however, he was more drawn to bodybuilding, which eventually brought him to England. He worked as a bouncer in Tottenham, which led him to MMA. He won his first seven professional fights in the first round and in 2010 became the very first Czech to sign a UFC contract.Seventeen fights, thirteen wins, and two belts. That is his record in OKTAGON, which he opened in March 2019 at the OKTAGON 11 tournament, where he choked out Paweł Brandys in the first round. In July, he added a points victory over the Brazilian Henrique da Silva, and in November, the "Fight of the Century" awaited him at the O2 arena. Attila Végh dropped him with a knockout in the first round and Vémola experienced for the first time in his career what it was like to fall to the ground of the cage. He responded in the best possible way. In the autumn of 2020, he returned and managed three fights in seventy-four days. He forced both Thomas Robertsen and Václav Mikulášek to tap out, and when he outpointed Alex Lohoré at the end of December in Brno, he left the cage with the middleweight belt. In 2021, he fought only once. Milan Ďatelinka lasted two minutes and twelve seconds with him.In June 2022, he won in Frankfurt, where he finished Michal Pasternak with an arm triangle in the first round. Seven weeks later, he applied the same technique in the same round to Aleksandar Ilić at Štvanice and left the cage with the light heavyweight belt. The following year was a rollercoaster ride. In April, he choked out Al Matavao in Liberec; in May, he fell short on points against Patrik Kincl in the battle for the middleweight throne; in July, he outpointed Lucas Alsina; and in October in Bratislava, he sent Pavol Langer to the ground in seven seconds. To this day, it is the fastest finish in OKTAGON history. But three days before the end of the year, he was stopped by a knockout from Samuel Krištofič. Then came Eden and with it the rematch of the century. He forced Végh to tap out with an arm triangle in the second round in June 2024. At the end of the same year, he lost his light heavyweight belt, when he fell short against the Irishman Will Fleury, but he had the last word last June. At Fortuna Arena, he snatched a five-round war with Véghen on points, closed the trilogy 2:1, and walked away with the unique "Infinity" belt. He then announced his retirement straight from the cage.It was the perfect ending. But it didn't last. At the OKTAGON 91 tournament in Cologne, he accepted the challenge of the undefeated German. "I am sorry that I will have to beat up the darling of the German audience, but I never back down," he sent a message from the cage. He returns to Frankfurt, where he has already won once, after a fifteen-month break. Out of his thirteen wins in OKTAGON, he finished nine before the time limit and delivered eight by submission.<h2>FREDERIC VOSGRÖNE: THE GERMAN STAR HUNTING THE CZECH LEGEND</h2>On the other side stands a man who skipped the entire line in a year and a half. Frederic Vosgröne (5-0) was born in Düsseldorf and lives in Mettmann, just a few kilometers from the Neanderthal valley. That's where his nickname comes from, and you only need to look at the thirty-year-old athlete to see that it makes perfect sense. He has been training at the elite UFD Gym in Düsseldorf since 2014. However, before he even entered the world of MMA, he made a huge name for himself on the mat. He holds a black belt in BJJ, brought home bronze from the IBJJF No-Gi World Championship, and won medals from the European championships. In 2020, he also dominated the Polaris UK Grand Prix, where he managed to defeat UFC veteran Tom Breese.In the cage, he changed absolutely nothing. Five fights, five wins, five submissions. No opponent has yet survived into the third round with him, and he relentlessly took down three of them right in the first. He jumped into OKTAGON in April 2025 in Dortmund, where he fearlessly went for Jorick Montagnac's legs, ignored hard strikes, and locked him in an arm triangle in the second round. He took home the Performance of the Night bonus and literally blew up the internet. His fan base on social media grew from less than ten thousand to more than 650,000 followers.He last appeared last September right in Frankfurt, where he choked out Fabio Moraes at the end of the first round at the OKTAGON 76 tournament. But then he stalled. He had to withdraw from the card three times in a row due to injury and people began to ask loudly when he would finally step in. The answer comes right now. The popular "Neanderthal" will finally present himself in the cage, and straight against the biggest legend of Czechoslovak MMA. "Karlos won't be ready for the new school. Now is my time," he declared.<oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DasthV-sXAW/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=ArDSX4hSgxoQrewhq5CIzCV"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>TWO GROUND FIGHTERS, ONE CAGE, AND SIXTY THOUSAND PEOPLE</h2>Two men who have spent their lives winning on the ground step into the cage. Both boast a black belt in BJJ. Vémola has twenty submission wins and eighteen years in the business. Vosgröne has five fights and five tapped-out opponents. Vosgröne entered his first professional fight in 2021. At that time, Vémola already had seven battles behind him in OKTAGON alone and had already managed to win and lose one belt. And then there is one more number. Vémola's last fight lasted twenty-five minutes, which is four minutes longer than Vosgröne has spent in the cage his entire career. Will the Neanderthal from Eintracht crush another victim in front of his home crowd, or will Karlos end the German ride and rewrite the entire script?Ten years of the yellow-and-black colossus will culminate where OKTAGON broke the world attendance record.
