<p>Už zítra nás čeká karta, jaká tu ještě nebyla: 3 titulové zápasy a to nejlepší z celé organizace pod jednou střechou v O2 areně. Pojďme se podívat, na co se můžeš těšit!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/98a62caf-82bd-4a7a-8f3d-db07b0b7af6a/cs.1735396294296.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/efe84b88-5cad-44bd-b72a-f1e6a9982545/cs.1735396299849.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER: PARADEISER VS. KEITA 2</h2><p>Velkolepé finále milionové pyramidy a odveta, o které snila spousta fanoušků! Hraje se nejen o titul nejlepší lehké váhy v Evropě a pohádkové peníze, ale i o pás šampiona (ten do hry přihodil současný král lehké váhy Rony) a první místo v žebříčku P4P napříč všemi vahami OKTAGONU. Rony projel pyramidou jako nůž máslem a po náročném prvním kole už nezaváhal ani jednou – je na skutečném vrcholu sil. Podobně na tom je i hvězdný Keita, který se chce stát šampionem hned dvou divizí najednou. Jeden z největších zápasů v historii organizace, který rozhodne: sebere Keita Ronymu vše nebo se Paradeiser pohodlně usadí na trůn, ke kterému vedla tvrdá cesta?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1032"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VÉMOLA VS. FLEURY</h2><p>Tohle bude osobní! Will Fleury, současná světová #45, přišel do OKTAGONU, urazil snad celou divizi a o Karlose si řekl hned vzápětí. A jeho plán mu vyšel. Po drtivých porážkách Škvora a Langera dostal to, po čem toužil. A kromě titulového souboje jde i o osobní mstu! Vémola měl totiž kdysi Fleuryho zranit na tréninku v Anglii a ani se neomluvit. A zatímco česká legenda o tom nemá ani zdání, Fleurymu nedá spát! Uvidíme legendu a současného šampiona polotěžké váhy v úzkých nebo znovu odejde jako král?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1076"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PUDILOVÁ VS. BOLANDER 2</h2><p>Szabová nemůže na poslední chvíli nastoupit, což je rozhodně velká škoda. Náhradnice Bolander je ale zcela připravena jít do odvety za poslední setkání s Pudilovou a tentokrát o titul! Už jejich první zápas přinesl nezapomenutelnou a neskutečně tvrdou podívanou. Nepochybně vynikající náhrada Bolander je obrovský norský talent, Pudilová se zase teprve nedávno vrátila po 2 letech z UFC, kam se probojovala jako vůbec první Češka v historii. A právě poměrně těsnou výhrou nad Bolander v Brně se dostala k titulovému souboji, který teď obě dámy osudově svedl zpátky do klece.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1114"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MÅGÅRD VS. SEVERINO</h2><p>Jednička bantamu Mågård nám už několikrát ukázal, že se jen tak něčeho nebojí. A když příchod do organizace ohlásil Igor Severino, posila, která nenechává nikoho chladným, hned se ho rád ujal. Po špičkování na sociálních sítích se přesuneme do klece. Severino je obrovským nebezpečím nejen pro bantam. Jedinou prohru v kariéře získal diskvalifikací v UFC za pokousání soupeře – teď si zuby, už jen obrazně, brousí na “Žraloka”!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1085"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ÚŠKRT VS. SCHWINDT</h2><p>Úškrt už v kleci zažil mnohé – od Kertésze, přes Monstera nebo Magnora, kterého ukončil už v prvním kole. Teď musí čelit náhlé změně soupeře, Polívka je totiž nemocný a tak do hry naskakuje německý náhradník Daniel Schwindt. Za sebou má 7 profesionálních zápasů a všechny své výhry získal před limitem. Nejde tak o žádný slabý odvar.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1066"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SARDARI VS. DIMIĆ</h2><p>Poslední rezervní zápas letošní pyramidy Tipsport Gamechanger hlásí na poslední chvíli změnu, o napínavou podívanou ale nebude nouze. Sardari, bývalý dvojnásobný šampion Cage Warriors a přední nizozemský bojovník v lehké váze nebyl nikdy ukončen na KO, sám ale nasbíral už řadu finišů. V prvním kole pyramidy navíc téměř dostal samotného Keitu! Dimić, srbský talent, neváhal naskočit na kartu jen pár dní před zápasem a vyniká svým výbušným stylem. Zvítězí klid a zkušenosti Sardariho nebo dravá srbská energie?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1113"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TICHOTA VS. ASLANER</h2><p>Jakub Tichota je nevídaný úkaz – ve 23 letech má za sebou dva titulové zápasy a výzvy, na které se jeho starší kolegové teprve připravují. V cestě na vrchol ho zastavilo vážné zranění, které ho nakonec přimělo i ke změně váhy. A tak ho už podruhé uvidíme v lehké váze, tentokrát proti kvalitnímu Aslanerovi z Německa, který se už stal šampionem jedné z německých organizací. I pro něj je to ale nový začátek po vleklém zranění. Kdo do nového roku vejde jako vítěz?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1082"></oktfightcomponent><h2>GABAL VS. BAJRAMI</h2><p>Domácí Peter Gabal, vicemistr světa IMMAF, má za sebou působivou výhru na PML, kterou získal za 18 sekund, a ukazuje, že je připraven na další a větší výzvy. Proti němu se postaví Bajrami, který všechny protivníky vyřídil před limitem díky svým ničivým úderům, které vypiloval za roky tréninků v boxu i MMA. Dva specialisté na finiše v souboji, který slibuje strhující podívanou.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1112"></oktfightcomponent><h2>NOVÁK VS. KURHELA</h2><p>Marco Novák ukazuje svůj přerod v úspěšného MMA zápasníka. Na turnaji OKTAGON 59 si připsal cenné vítězství nad Roušalem, nad kterým dominoval na zemi. Postojářský světový šampion WKU nyní drží sérii tří výher, z toho třikrát zvítězil před limitem. Proti všestrannému finskému bojovníkovi Eemilu Kurhelovi, zkušenému amatérskému šampionovi, jej čeká klíčová zkouška komplexnosti.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1035"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BATFALSKÝ VS. TOPORCER</h2><p>Jednadvacetiletý Batfalský, amatérský šampion Česka i Slovenska, drží sérii dvou výher a z pěti vítězství má čtyři ukončení před limitem. Zkušenosti sbíral i po boku hvězdného Keity. Slovenský talent „El Diablo“ Toporcer má na kontě dvě KO a dvě submise a první tři profi zápasy ukončil hned v 1. kole. Který ze dvou talentů míří na vrchol?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1083"></oktfightcomponent>

TVŮJ PŘEHLED: OKTAGON 65 ZÁPAS PO ZÁPASE 

<p>OKTAGON 84 in Ostrava delivered the crowning of a familiar welterweight champion, the emotional return of David Kozma, and brutal finishes. At the same time, the card featured several closely contested fights that had to be decided by the judges.

The welterweight title was decided in a single moment. The opening two rounds delivered an even stand-up battle, but in the third round Kaik Brito landed a precise spinning backfist.

Third-round KO and Brito is champion again.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1345" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>DAVID KOZMA vs. JOZEF WITTNER</h2><p>Kozma returned with a clear plan – take the fight to the ground and control the tempo.

TKO for Durić and Mudroch’s first stoppage loss of his career.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1323" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB BATFALSKÝ vs. EUGEN BLACK-DELL</h2><p>An entertaining striking battle. Batfalský was the more active fighter throughout, making good use of his height advantage and stiff jab. Although he weathered a dangerous storm of elbows from Black-Dell in the third round, the key moments belonged to him. After three rounds, Batfalský took the decision win.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1312" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>MATĚJ KUZNÍK vs. HAFENI NAFUKA</h2><p>No need for the judges here either.

A crucial win for the “Namibian Nightmare.”</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1336" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>JAN ŠIROKÝ vs. FRANTIŠEK FODOR</h2><p>A veterans’ war that went to the scorecards.

The opening rounds proved decisive, and the judges awarded the win to Fodor.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1341" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>VÁCLAV KLIMŠA vs. BRAJAN PRZYSIWEK</h2><p>Here too, the judges had the final say.

Kaik Brito reclaimed the throne after finishing Rony Paradeiser in the third round. The opening two rounds were closely contested, with both fighters landing clean shots. Kaik attempted spinning strikes several times, but it was in the third round that he landed one perfectly. A sharp spinning elbow sent Paradeiser straight to the canvas, forcing the referee to step in immediately. Brito recorded another KO victory and regained the championship belt.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1345"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DAVID KOZMA vs. JOZEF WITTNER</h2><p>“The Pink Panther” is back! The Ostrava crowd got what they came for as David Kozma snapped his losing streak with a crucial victory over Jozef Wittner. Kozma committed to a clear strategy – taking the fight to the ground.

Who will the fans’ favorite Kozma face next?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1297"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TOMÁŠ MUDROCH vs. FEDOR DURIĆ</h2><p>Fedor Durić put on an incredible one-man show. He gave Mudroch no chance to get his dangerous striking going. He quickly took the fight to the ground in both the first and second rounds. Mudroch tried to escape bad positions, but Durić was quicker in transitions. In the second round, he unleashed heavy ground-and-pound, forcing the referee to stop the fight. Durić secured a fantastic TKO victory.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1323"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB BATFALSKÝ vs. EUGEN BLACK-DELL</h2><p>A beautiful stand-up battle that went all the way to the judges’ scorecards. The first hometown fighter to celebrate a win was young Jakub Batfalský. Fans enjoyed an entertaining striking duel in which both men took heavy shots. “Batfal” used his height advantage brilliantly, with his stiff jab causing major problems for his opponent. Although he ran into trouble in the third round and absorbed sharp elbows from Black-Dell, he weathered the storm and secured a decision win, once again confirming his status as one of the brightest talents on the domestic scene.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1312"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MATĚJ KUZNÍK vs. HAFENI NAFUKA</h2><p>Kuzník vs. Nafuka delivered an intriguing clash of two grapplers. It didn’t take long for the fight to hit the mat. Both fighters showcased impressive grappling skills and experience in the exchanges, but Nafuka had the edge. The “Namibian Nightmare” finished the fight by submission just six seconds before the end of the second round, earning a crucial victory.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1336"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PRELIMS</h2><h2>JAN ŠIROKÝ vs. FRANTIŠEK FODOR</h2><p>A battle of two seasoned veterans that went to the judges. In the first half of the fight, the Slovak brawler had the upper hand and came close to finishing the bout. Široký, however, showed incredible toughness and survived the worst moments. Toward the end of the fight, he even began to take control himself, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win. Both fighters earned huge respect for an entertaining war that had fans on their feet.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1341"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VÁCLAV KLIMŠA vs. BRAJAN PRZYSIWEK</h2><p>The Ostrava crowd was in for an unpleasant surprise. Fan favorite Václav Klimša entered as the clear favorite, but the fight told a different story. Przysiwek was faster, more accurate, more powerful, and more active. Klimša couldn’t cope with his explosive entries, well-timed takedowns, and relentless pressure. The tough Polish fighter cruised to a clear unanimous decision victory.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1382"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PETR BARTONĚK vs. ENDRIT BRAJSHORI</h2><p>That was fast! Endrit Brajshori wasted no time and went for the finish from the opening second. He first rocked Bartoněk with a heavy hook and then secured a first-round submission. This win sent a message to the entire division – Endrit Brajshori is hungry for big scalps.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1339"></oktfightcomponent><h2>LUKÁŠ ZÁVIČÁK vs. DANIEL SCHORDJE</h2><p>A tense battle between the experienced Závičák and Austrian prospect Schordje.

Schordje maintained constant pressure, which likely tipped the judges in his favor. After three very close rounds, the fight ended in a split decision win for the Austrian fighter.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1387"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ADAM HAVRAN vs. OSKAR STASZCZAK</h2><p>Hometown fighter Havran started well and for a moment it looked like we might see a quick submission finish.

He clearly won the second and third rounds, earning a victorious debut in the yellow-and-black cage.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1372"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>The first Czech event of 2026 is in the books.

OKTAGON 84 RESULTS: KAIK BRITO IS CHAMPION AGAIN. KOZMA RETURNS WITH A WIN

<p>He’s only 21 years old, yet already one of the biggest talents on the German scene, and in OKTAGON he has delivered performances that prove he fears no one. Now he faces his biggest test yet – a road fight in the toughest city in the country. At OKTAGON 84 in Ostrava, he will take on the local phenomenon Tomáš Mudroch, the “Ostrava Express,” known as a machine for lightning-fast finishes. In our interview, you’ll find out how Durić views the atmosphere in the Ostravar Arena, why he isn’t afraid of size or pressure, and what he promises the fans.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/8778ee96-1f6b-40b5-8f6a-158765b2e864/cs.1771080157422.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/8a91bdf0-c265-4dff-bf85-1af3be94b33a/cs.1771080164887.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p><strong>Hi Fedor, how are you feeling a few days before the fight, and what stage of preparation are you in right now?</strong></p><p> I feel great. Everything is done – now we’re just fine-tuning the details, keeping the pace, and most importantly staying healthy. At this stage, focus and a clear mind are key. I’m excited because Ostrava is a huge challenge.</p><p><strong>You’re fighting away from home against a local hero who will have the crowd behind him. How do you deal with that atmosphere mentally?</strong></p><p> I’m really looking forward to it. The atmosphere isn’t anything negative for me – on the contrary, it motivates me. It’s clear I’ll be fighting in his city and most of the fans will be against me. But that’s exactly the energy I want to use. I want to silence the arena and turn his fans into mine.</p><p><strong>Tomáš Mudroch is known for lightning-fast first-round finishes. What makes him such a dangerous opponent?</strong></p><p> He’s very heavy – for me, almost like a welterweight. That can be an advantage, but also a disadvantage, because a big weight cut costs strength. In the first round, he comes forward very aggressively and wants to finish quickly. That’s exactly what we prepared for. I expect we’ll meet in the middle of the cage.</p><p><strong>Does that change your game plan at all?</strong></p><p> No, it doesn’t. You have to stay focused against any opponent. I don’t see him as just a striker. I’m prepared for everything, and whatever comes, I’ll use it against him.</p><p><strong>So how are you preparing for his strengths?</strong></p><p> I focus on what he does best. My job is to turn his weapons against him and run him over. I don’t want to adapt to what he wants – I want to impose my own game.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DR7TIHBDCEa/"></oktinstagramcomponent><p><strong>Where do you see your biggest advantages?</strong></p><p> In my conditioning, speed, striking, and grappling. Overall, I see myself with the edge. Size and weight alone won’t help him.</p><p><strong>Your style is very controlled and often moves the fight to the ground. How important is it to impose your own rhythm?</strong></p><p> I don’t want to rush anything. I can fight on the feet and I can fight on the ground. If an opportunity presents itself, I’ll take it. I’ll stay calm and focused – and I will impose my rhythm on him.</p><p><strong>And if the fight goes to the ground?</strong></p><p> Then we go to the ground. That’s where I clearly feel stronger.</p><p><strong>You’re only 21 and already competing regularly on big stages. What has changed mentally?</strong></p><p> I used to lack confidence, I was shy and avoided confrontation. Today, after four years of MMA, I feel mentally stronger than ever. This sport changed me. It made me a stronger person.</p><p><strong>What message do you want to send to young people who follow you?</strong></p><p> That you can achieve anything even at a young age. Age is just a number. In the end, everything is decided in the mind.</p><p><strong>A win would move you up the lightweight rankings. Does that matter to you?</strong></p><p> Right now, I’m focused only on this fight. Of course I want to be champion and beat every opponent, ideally before the limit. But at this moment, only Ostrava matters.</p><p><strong>OKTAGON is promoting this fight as one of the highlights of the night. What does that position mean to you?</strong></p><p> It’s an honor. I’ve invested my whole life in this sport. The fact that our fight is seen as a highlight makes me proud.</p><p><strong>What can the fans in Ostrava expect?</strong></p><p> No one will be disappointed. The fans will get action and fire – a big show. For Germany, for Serbia, for all my supporters. This fight will be big.</p><p></p><p><strong>OKTAGON 84 in Ostrava will feature one of the most exciting matchups of the rising generation.

INTERVIEW WITH FEDOR DURIĆ AHEAD OF OKTAGON 84: I WANT TO SILENCE OSTRAVA AND WIN OVER ITS FANS

<p>Only 24 hours remain until OKTAGON returns to Ostrava. The toughest city in the Czech Republic is ready for a massive adrenaline rush, and the last empty seats in the Ostravar Arena are being filled. This Valentine’s night is one fans won’t forget anytime soon. Go through the full card, fight by fight, and make sure you don’t miss a thing.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6126d872-8eb0-4898-9d6b-d6f4d38cc4ad/cs.1771003102179.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/fdcc8378-3953-4465-9bd7-0afa3e6aa6e6/cs.1771003107226.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>RONALD PARADEISER vs. KAIK BRITO</h2><p>The main event of the night delivers a title fight for the vacant welterweight championship. Former lightweight king Ronald Paradeiser is chasing his second belt, but standing in his way is former divisional champion Kaik Brito. A clash of two fighters ranked in the global Top 100 promises world-class quality and very likely a finish.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1345"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DAVID KOZMA vs. JOZEF WITTNER</h2><p>In the co-main event, OKTAGON’s historically most dominant champion returns. David “The Pink Panther” Kozma is a five-time title defender and for many years the face of the welterweight division. After three brutal losses, he changed his gym, his approach to preparation, and his working style, and now comes to Ostrava determined to show fans “Kozma 2.0.” Across from him stands returning veteran Jozef Wittner, who steps back into the yellow-and-black cage after more than five years. For both men, this fight could significantly shape the next chapter of their careers.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1297"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TOMÁŠ MUDROCH vs. FEDOR DURIĆ</h2><p>A battle of the next generation sees two prospects with identical 8–1 records collide. The “Ostrava Express” Tomáš Mudroch has been the phenomenon of recent months – all of his wins have come in the first round, including three inside the first 30 seconds. Across three OKTAGON bouts, he has spent barely five minutes in the cage. Just 21 years old, Fedor Durić is a generational talent from Frankfurt’s MMA Spirit gym. Unlike Mudroch, he racks up submissions more often and shows remarkable composure for his age. The winner can stake a claim to a spot among the lightweight elite.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1323"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JAKUB BATFALSKÝ vs. EUGEN BLACK-DELL</h2><p>Young Ostrava prospect Jakub Batfalský will be looking to get back on the winning track after a challenging period. He’s one of the brightest talents of the new generation and has already shown he doesn’t shy away from the toughest challenges. Standing opposite him is experienced German Eugen Black-Dell, a former champion of two German organizations who has already tested several names in OKTAGON and punishes every mistake. A perfect test of resilience and mental toughness for the hometown hope.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1312"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MATĚJ KUZNÍK vs. HAFENI NAFUKA</h2><p>A great fight is expected between two fighters who have both experienced highs and lows in OKTAGON. Matěj Kuzník is a veteran of the domestic scene and has been tied to the organization since its very beginnings. Right now, however, he’s under pressure, and the bout in Ostrava could say a lot about the next direction of his career. Hafeni Nafuka, on the other hand, is known for never backing down from a challenge and has already troubled some of the most experienced opponents. For both, this is a crucial fight in a stacked division.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1336"></oktfightcomponent><h2><strong>PRELIMS</strong></h2><h2>JAN ŠIROKÝ vs. FRANTIŠEK FODOR</h2><p>Jan Široký once again proves he never turns down a challenge. He’s the kind of fighter who almost always delivers a war for the fans and never fights “for points.” In Ostrava, he faces František Fodor, whom longtime fans will remember from the very first OKTAGON Challenge.

OSTRAVA CARD, FIGHT BY FIGHT: OKTAGON 84 SET TO IGNITE THE HOME SCENE

<p>OKTAGON 84 in Ostrava won’t be just about the title fight and big names. The card also brings plenty of records, interesting facts, and strong storylines that add extra layers to the matchups. Here’s a look at what makes the Ostrava event stand out from the rest. And don’t forget about the OKTAGON Fantasy Draft — some of these insights might help you with your picks.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6bd98669-1844-43d6-985f-92b1e5c42137/cs.1770820842733.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6dc614b0-e549-4c42-8b80-afec1df91265/cs.1770820846406.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>ONE FIGHT, TWO COMEBACKS</h2><p>Both <strong>David Kozma</strong> and <strong>Jozef Wittner</strong> will be making comebacks in Ostrava — each in a different way. For Kozma, it’s a <strong>return to the cage after nearly a year </strong>following a run of three tough losses. He took time off, changed gyms, and now comes back determined to restart his career and <strong>work his way back to what once belonged to him</strong> —<strong> the championship belt</strong>.</p><p>Wittner, on the other hand, is returning to OKTAGON itself after more than five years. His last appearance in the yellow-and-black cage was at<strong> OKTAGON 18</strong>, where he defeated <strong>Robo Pukač</strong>. Incidentally, Pukač is one of the opponents Wittner has mentioned he’d like to face again in the future. First, however, he has to get past a motivated “Pink Panther” on Kozma’s home turf — one of the toughest challenges he could ask for.</p><h2>WITH US SINCE OKTAGON 3</h2><p>OKTAGON 84 also carries a strong nostalgic note. Three fighters closely tied to the organization’s early days will appear in Ostrava — <strong>Ronald Paradeiser, Jan Široký, </strong>and<strong> Matěj Kuzník</strong>. All three made their <strong>OKTAGON debuts back in 2017</strong> <strong>at OKTAGON 3</strong> on Prague’s Štvanice Island, where Paradeiser and Široký even faced each other.</p><p>Since then, each has followed a different path. Paradeiser is now among the absolute elite of European MMA and is chasing his second championship belt. Široký has become a symbol of a fighter who never turns down a challenge and almost always delivers a war for the fans — in lightweight, he’s faced most of the domestic elite, including Kohout, Bartl, and Pokorný. Kuzník has experienced both highs and lows in OKTAGON. After losing his last two fights in the yellow-and-black cage, he’ll be even more motivated to make a statement in Ostrava.</p><h2>A WORLD-CLASS TITLE FIGHT</h2><p><strong>Ronald Paradeiser</strong> and <strong>Kaik Brito</strong> are among OKTAGON’s very best. Both are ranked inside the global<strong> Top 100 welterweights according to Fightmatrix</strong>. Rony is one of the most successful fighters in the promotion’s history — <strong>he holds the record for most wins in OKTAGON </strong>(17), <strong>most Tipsport Performance of the Night bonuses</strong> (4), is a <strong>former lightweight champion</strong>, and was once the organization’s pound-for-pound #1. Tapology has even named him the current best European fighter across all weight classes.</p><p><strong>Kaik Brito</strong> is no less exceptional. The <strong>Brazilian finisher has 18 wins</strong> — <strong>all by stoppage</strong>. Fifteen by KO/TKO and three by submission. A former welterweight champion, he has beaten names such as Lutterbach, Kozma, Kalašnik, and Bryczek. For Brito, this is a chance to reclaim the title he once held. For Rony, it’s an opportunity to capture a second belt — and possibly the biggest scalp of his career.</p><h2>THE UNSTOPPABLE “OSTRAVA EXPRESS”</h2><p><strong>Tomáš Mudroch</strong> is a true anomaly on the European MMA scene. With a <strong>professional record of 8–1</strong>, he’s now fighting for a spot among the lightweight division’s elite. What’s truly shocking about his career? <strong>Every single one of his wins has come in the first round</strong> — three of them within the first 30 seconds.</p><p>He’s carried that streak into OKTAGON, where across three fights he’s spent just over five minutes in the cage total. Fedor Durić represents the toughest test of Mudroch’s career so far. Will we see another lightning-fast finish? With Mudroch, it’s better not to blink — it could all be over before fans even find their seats.</p><h2>YOUTH ON THE RISE: A NEW GENERATION FIGHTS FOR ITS PLACE</h2><p>Jakub Batfalský, Hafeni Nafuka, Václav Klimša, and Fedor Durić — a quartet sending a clear message: our time is now. Each represents the next generation of OKTAGON fighters, and Ostrava could be a pivotal milestone in some of their careers.</p><p><strong>Jakub Batfalský</strong> became the youngest Czech fighter in OKTAGON history to headline an event. The only fighter to “outdo” him in this regard within the organization is the “Namibian Nightmare” Hafeni Nafuka. Batfalský holds wins over Ryšavý, Toporcer, and Batoba in OKTAGON and is currently ranked #8 in the division. After his most recent loss, he’s looking to get back on track and move closer to another title opportunity.</p><p>At just 23, <strong>Hafeni Nafuka</strong> has already faced names like Buchinger, Bogdanović, Gabal, and Kohout. His OKTAGON run has been up and down, but he’s repeatedly shown he can trouble the very best and never shies away from a challenge.</p><p><strong>Václav Klimša </strong>became a star of the Czech scene practically after a single OKTAGON fight. The professional firefighter scored a win in Brno with the rare <strong>Von Flue</strong> <strong>choke</strong> — a technique he uses so often it could almost be renamed the <strong>“Klimša Choke.”</strong> But in front of his home crowd in Ostrava, he faces the dangerous Polish sniper Brajan Przysiwek — a completely different kind of test.</p><p>At just 21 years old, <strong>Fedor Durić</strong> is already on the path to big things. With a professional record of 8–1, he currently sits at <strong>#8 in the lightweight rankings</strong>. In OKTAGON alone, he’s fought names like Predrag Bogdanović, Jan Stanovský, and Petru Buzdugan. A win over the surging Mudroch would likely push him into the Top 5. First, however, he has to stop the “Ostrava Express” — much easier said than done.</p><p><strong>OKTAGON 84 will deliver not only a world-class title fight, but also legendary comebacks, the rise of a new generation, and records you don’t see every day in OKTAGON. Ostrava is set for a night that could rewrite history. Don’t miss it — grab the PPV or come to the arena and witness records being broken live.</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="126"></okteventcomponent>

OKTAGON 84 in Ostrava won’t be just about the title fight and big names. The card also brings plenty of records, interesting facts, and strong storylines that add extra layers to the matchups. Here’s a look at what makes the Ostrava event stand out from the rest. 

RECORDS AND STATS OF OKTAGON 84: WHAT MAKES OSTRAVA SPECIAL?

<p>Tomáš Mudroch is set for the most important fight of his career so far in Ostrava. The “Ostrava Express” will take on Fedor Durić, one of the biggest talents on the German MMA scene. Mudroch currently sits at #10 in the lightweight rankings. A victory over the #8-ranked Durić would push him into the very top tier of the division—putting him just one step away from a title shot.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/b76b700a-7aa1-4ec1-939a-06a8584cce6b/cs.1770649792044.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/245a9b2b-be3a-4601-b735-9013b878325d/cs.1770649797124.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>“THE OSTRAVA EXPRESS”: A MACHINE FOR LIGHTNING-FASS FINISHES</h2><p><strong>Tomáš Mudroch</strong> is a runaway force, steamrolling one opponent after another. And when we say steamrolling, we mean it. All eight of his wins have come not only inside the distance, but in the first round—every single time. <strong>Three of those victories even came in under 30 seconds</strong>. Mudroch doesn’t waste time, and his hard, no-nonsense Ostrava style hasn’t met real resistance yet. In OKTAGON, he has <strong>three wins and has spent a total of roughly five minutes inside the cage</strong>. Now he faces the challenge of a lifetime: the young German prospect Fedor Durić.</p><p><strong>Mudroch’s performances in OKTAGON so far:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>OKTAGON 67</strong>: Mudroch made his debut in Třinec against Petru Buzdugan and immediately made a lasting impression. Beyond the quick finish after a minute and a half, he scored the first-ever knockdown off an upkick in the organization’s history—and capped it all with a legendary post-fight interview.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p><strong>OKTAGON 71</strong>: Tomáš’s first fight on German soil was another big success. He took an unpleasant straight right early, but his response was even harsher—one hook sent Ozan Aslaner to the canvas, and follow-up strikes secured a TKO after two minutes of action.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p><strong>OKTAGON 79</strong>: The “Ostrava Express” didn’t slip in Brno either. He completely controlled the bout with the experienced Dohnal and gave the veteran no room to work. Once again, a single straight right rocked Jakub, and the outcome was decided.</p></li></ul><h2>GENERATIONAL TALENT: FEDOR DURIĆ</h2><p><strong>Only 21 years old, Fedor Durić</strong> entered OKTAGON as a highly touted prospect and a product of the prestigious <strong>MMA Spirit gym</strong>. He trains alongside names such as Max Coga, Daniel Weichel, and Raul Lembarenskij. Durić carries <strong>the same professional record as Mudroch –</strong> <strong>8–1 </strong>and has finished six of his wins inside the distance. Unlike the Ostrava fighter, however, he prefers <strong>taking the fight to the ground</strong>. He has submitted four opponents, three of them via rear-naked choke.</p><p>In OKTAGON, Durić has three fights under his belt. First, he won a decision against Czech prospect Stanovský. Then he faced the extremely dangerous and experienced Predrag Bogdanović. In that bout, Durić proved he can hang with the very best in the division, losing a close decision to the favored Serb. Most recently, he fought in front of his home crowd in Frankfurt, where he dispatched Buzdugan in the first round.</p><p>Now he steps in against a Czech finisher who threatens with knockout power from the opening second. Can he adjust for the Ostrava machine, or will he become the next name on Mudroch’s climb up the rankings?</p><p><strong>We’ll find out this Saturday in one of the most anticipated matchups of the night. Mudroch will have the hometown crowd behind him—and you still have a chance to be there. The last tickets are disappearing fast, so don’t wait and click the link below.

TOMÁŠ MUDROCH FACES THE BIGGEST TEST OF HIS CAREER IN THE FORM OF FEDOR DURIĆ

<p>The start of 2026 was nothing short of spectacular. OKTAGON kicked off its tenth year with two German events. OKTAGON 82 in Düsseldorf crowned the winner of the latest edition of the million-euro Tipsport Gamechanger pyramid. In Stuttgart, fans witnessed the crowning of a new featherweight champion, along with jaw-dropping performances in the women’s bouts. New stars arrived in OKTAGON with statement-making debuts, and a new season of OKTAGON Fantasy also got underway. Here’s a roundup of the biggest January highlights.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/1b29daa9-02ee-4396-b121-6db05c7a9eb2/cs.1770578315092.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/4a9d5926-7e16-4165-a0e9-310c618160a9/cs.1770578319958.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>JOTKO’S ONE-MAN SHOW</h2><p><strong>Krzysztof Jotko </strong>capped off his phenomenal run through the pyramid in Düsseldorf. He dominated the final against star contender<strong> Kerim Engizek</strong>, finishing him by submission in the first round. The Turkish middleweight champion was given virtually no room to operate, as the Polish veteran claimed one of the biggest wins of his career. <strong>Jotko completed a flawless run, controlling almost every fight</strong> inside the yellow-and-black cage.</p><p>Ironically, Jotko’s toughest and most competitive bout came in the opening round against Moldovan “Dracula”<strong> Ion Surdu</strong>. Even there, Jotko’s experience and physical strength were evident, as he neutralized Surdu’s biggest weapons and imposed his own game plan. He followed the same blueprint against <strong>Marek Mazúch, Hojat Khajevand</strong>, and in the final against <strong>Kerim Engizek</strong>. Minimal mistakes and <strong>precise execution of a clear strategy</strong> were the keys to Jotko’s success. Now he’s enjoying a well-earned break—and the €300,000 prize money he took home from the final. <strong>The big question is: who will he face next?</strong></p><h2>A NEW FEATHERWEIGHT KING: MAGO MACHAEV</h2><p>The main event of <strong>OKTAGON 83 in Stuttgart</strong> ended even quicker than the previous title fight. Both <strong>Machaev </strong>and<strong> Samsonidse </strong>came out at full throttle, looking for a fast finish. Although the early moments favored the German fighter, <strong>Machaev </strong>decided the fight with a perfectly timed hook that sent Samsonidse to the canvas. Less than two minutes into the title bout, a<strong> new featherweight champion </strong>was crowned. The achievement is even more impressive given that Machaev is <strong>only 26 years old</strong>, with most of his career still ahead of him.</p><p>The new champion won’t get much time to celebrate. His first challenger stepped up almost immediately. <strong>Gjoni Palokaj</strong> remains unbeaten in OKTAGON and is riding an eight-fight winning streak, making him the logical next contender for the young Austrian. Could we see their showdown as soon as OKTAGON 88 in Hannover?</p><h2>NEW STARS AND STANDOUT PERFORMANCES</h2><p>January also introduced several new faces to the organization. The biggest splash was made by <strong>Brian Manning</strong>. The Irish phenom was impossible to miss even before his fight with <strong>Daniel Schwindt</strong>, but he truly made his mark with an unforgettable <strong>walkout</strong>—riding to the cage on a tricycle while wearing a Jigsaw mask from the <strong>Saw horror series</strong>. Inside the cage, he backed it up with brutality, stopping his German opponent by first-round TKO. That’s the kind of debut that sticks in people’s minds, and OKTAGON may have just found another Irish star.</p><p><strong>Dastan Amangeldy </strong>also impressed in Stuttgart against seasoned Brazilian <strong>Wanderley Junior</strong>. The second Kazakh fighter in OKTAGON came in with a clear plan: push hard combinations on the feet and catch his opponent there. Junior showed his experience by countering well, but it wasn’t enough to contain the sharp and aggressive Amangeldy. His punches were accurate and his kicks razor-sharp. After three rounds, the young Kazakh secured a clear decision victory.</p><p>Several other standout performances deserve mention. Perhaps the biggest show was delivered by the “princess of German MMA,” <strong>Alina Dalaslan</strong>. Against the taller, stronger, and more experienced <strong>Karolina Sobek</strong>, she didn’t hesitate for a second. Their staredown the day before the fight raised doubts even among Dalaslan’s biggest fans, but she stepped into the cage confident and determined. She was sharper, faster, and ultimately more powerful—despite taking a shot in the opening seconds. In the final moments of the third round, she caught Sobek with a combination and, instead of settling for a safe decision win, took the risk and secured a spectacular TKO finish.</p><p>Don’t overlook <strong>Karol Ryšavý’s</strong> beautiful submission win over <strong>Deniz Ilbay</strong>, defying many expectations. <strong>Lazar Todev</strong> once again showed why he’s the clear number one in the heavyweight division, stopping UFC veteran <strong>Josh Parisian</strong>. <strong>David Zawada</strong> and <strong>Daniel Ligocki</strong> delivered a <strong>potential Fight of the Year contender</strong>—an all-out war from start to finish. The German veteran edged out a close decision, but both fighters earned massive respect for the performance. <strong>Zawada took home the Tipsport Performance of the Night bonus</strong> and, in a classy gesture, shared it with his Czech opponent.</p><h2>OKTAGON FANTASY: NEW SEASON, NEW CHANCES TO WIN</h2><p>The new year also launched a fresh season of the <strong>OKTAGON Fantasy</strong> fan league. More than 15,000 fans have already joined, which is awesome to see—and that’s why <strong>new features</strong> have been added this year. You’ll find all the details on the OKTAGON website in the Fantasy section. <strong>If you haven’t joined yet</strong>,<strong> you still can</strong>. Registration and participation are free, and you can win some great prizes.

The start of 2026 was nothing short of spectacular. OKTAGON kicked off its tenth year with two German events. OKTAGON 82 in Düsseldorf crowned the winner of the latest edition of the million-euro Tipsport Gamechanger pyramid.

A JAM-PACKED JANUARY 2026: WHAT DID THE FIRST MONTH OF OKTAGON’S 10TH YEAR BRING?

<p>A historic moment for Polish MMA and the OKTAGON organization. Polish legend<strong> Michał Materla</strong> will make his OKTAGON debut against one of the most prominent figures of the German scene – <strong>Christian Jungwirth</strong>. The clash of two national icons of European MMA will take place on <strong>April 11 at OKTAGON 86 in Szczecin</strong>, which will mark OKTAGON’s very first event on Polish soil. The bout is set at a catchweight of up to 89 kilograms.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/00e13343-cee6-4916-b0b1-943eb3ade404/cs.1770308542924.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/58695791-2d7d-4b60-a7ec-ca048db4ae71/cs.1770308547215.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>MATERLA: A LEGEND OF EUROPEAN CALIBER</h2><p>The return of a true <strong>Polish MMA legend</strong>. Michał Materla is among the greatest icons the European scene has ever seen. A <strong>former KSW champion</strong>, he successfully defended the middleweight title four times and is also a champion of the EFM organization. Over the course of his career, he has competed in an incredible <strong>44 professional fights</strong> with a <strong>record of 33 wins and 11 losses</strong>. The vast majority of his victories came inside the distance – <strong>13 by KO/TKO and 13 by submission</strong>. For more than a decade, Materla has been one of the established names in European MMA and is considered one of the key figures who significantly helped build the popularity of MMA in Poland. His move to OKTAGON immediately sparked huge interest among fans and the media, and his debut in the yellow-and-black cage will be one of the highlights of the night in Szczecin.</p><p><strong>“First of all, I’d like to thank OKTAGON for giving me the opportunity to face such an opponent.

He has been part of OKTAGON since 2020 and has already stepped into the yellow-and-black cage fifteen times. Fans love him for his constant pressure, aggressive style, and legendary walkouts. <strong>“The Kelt”</strong> thrives on excellent conditioning and the ability to break opponents with relentless pace. Most recently, he competed at OKTAGON 80 in Munich, where he defeated UFC veteran Niklas Stolze in a thrilling battle, once again confirming his status as one of the organization’s standout names.</p><p><strong>“I’m really happy about this fight. Facing Michał Materla is something special for me – he’s an absolute MMA legend. When OKTAGON offered me this matchup, I didn’t hesitate for a second and accepted it right away. It’s a great honor for me to step into the cage in Poland against a fighter of his caliber,”</strong> says Jungwirth.</p><p>Here I would place an Instagram post of their staredown, or a graphic promoting their fight.</p><h2>OKTAGON UNDERGROUND: STAND AND BANG RULES</h2><ul><li><p>The fight is contested over 5 rounds of 3 minutes each</p></li><li><p>Fighters compete in small MMA gloves</p></li><li><p>Boxing is allowed (including open-palm strikes)</p></li><li><p>Active clinch is permitted</p></li><li><p>Elbows are allowed (including 12–6 elbows)</p></li><li><p>All kicks are prohibited, including knees</p></li><li><p>All takedowns and submissions are prohibited</p></li></ul><h2>OKTAGON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN POLAND: A STRATEGIC MOVE INTO ONE OF EUROPE’S STRONGEST MMA MARKETS</h2><p>OKTAGON 86 in Szczecin marks a historic milestone – the organization is entering the Polish market for the very first time.

MATERLA AND JUNGWIRTH TO CLASH IN SZCZECIN IN A BOUT BETWEEN TWO NATIONAL ICONS

<p>Ostrava is gearing up for a title fight that could rewrite OKTAGON history. Two absolute elites of the European scene will clash for the vacant welterweight belt – former lightweight king Ronald Paradeiser and ex-welterweight champion Kaik Brito. A matchup between two fighters from the Fightmatrix world top 100 (Paradeiser #60, Brito #87), this is one of the highest-quality bouts OKTAGON has ever delivered. Welterweight has long been one of the deepest and most stacked divisions in MMA – and in Ostrava, the European throne of the division will be decided.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/ce49b75a-6ef6-4783-b59a-8d1cac5303ea/cs.1770305534867.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/f82e00af-669b-4c60-a07b-b4a7efaa4e1e/cs.1770305540928.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>PARADEISER: OKTAGON’S RECORD HOLDER HUNTS FOR A SECOND BELT</h2><p>Ronald Paradeiser is one of the organization’s all-time constants. He has<strong> already fought 23 times in OKTAGON</strong> – more than anyone else in the yellow-and-black cage. According to the respected Tapology platform, <strong>he is considered the best European fighter across all weight classes</strong>. His résumé includes scalps of European MMA legends such as Bojan Veličković and Ivan Buchinger, and he has beaten virtually the entire domestic scene.</p><p>At just <strong>28 years old</strong>, Rony already has <strong>32 fights</strong> under his belt <strong>with a 23–9 record</strong> – more than many seasoned veterans who are nearing the end of their careers. The Slovak standout is a rare breed, relentlessly chasing progress and growing with every fight. Since moving up to welterweight, he has recorded two dominant finishes and now has the chance to cement his status as the undisputed king of the division.</p><p>He trains at <strong>Poland’s Ankos Gym</strong>, where he has grown close to <strong>Ion Surdu</strong>. Their <strong>“brotherhood”</strong> entertains fans on social media, but it also opens up an intriguing storyline for the future of the welterweight division. It was Surdu who vacated the belt after missing weight in Brno, clearing the path for Paradeiser’s title shot. If Rony succeeds in Ostrava, <strong>the question will be how their friendship shapes the division going forward</strong> – both have repeatedly said they don’t want to fight each other.</p><p>That friendship, however, could be a huge asset in preparation. The Moldovan “Dracula” is one of only two men in OKTAGON who have managed to stop the Brazilian.</p><h2>KAIK BRITO: A RUTHLESS FINISHER WITH A KILLER INSTINCT</h2><p>The road to the belt will be anything but easy.<strong> Kaik Brito </strong>is one of the most dangerous fighters OKTAGON has ever presented. He owns a professional record of <strong>18–6 and a 100% finishing rate </strong>– <strong>15 wins by KO/TKO and three by submission</strong>. In OKTAGON, he ended David Kozma’s legendary winning streak and wiped out names like Boráros, Kalašnik, and Lutterbach in the first round. When Brito steps into the cage, fans know blood will be spilled. <strong>His style is ruthless, straightforward, and extremely dangerous</strong> in every phase of the fight.</p><p>Both fighters are also among the organization’s biggest fan draws in terms of entertainment value. <strong>Paradeiser has collected four Tipsport Performance of the Night bonuses, Brito has two</strong>. Everything points to an epic climax to the entire card – and there’s a very real chance it ends inside the distance.</p><h2>AN EPIC WELTERWEIGHT SHOWDOWN</h2><p>Paradeiser’s technical precision, experience, and fight IQ against Brito’s knockout power and ruthless killer instinct. One man is chasing a second belt and a place in OKTAGON history. The other wants to prove once again that he is the most dangerous man in the welterweight division. Ostrava will witness the crowning of a new champion – and this title fight is set to be the perfect finale to a stacked night.</p><p><strong>Be there when a new king of the welterweight division is crowned in Ostrava.

RONY PARADEISER IS CHASING HIS SECOND CHAMPIONSHIP BELT. DANGEROUS BRITO STANDS IN HIS WAY

The decisive moment came when Machaev landed a brutal left hook straight to the chin. Samsonidse went down immediately, and after a few follow-up strikes, it was over. First-round KO and the crowning of a new OKTAGON champion.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1317" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ALINA DALASLAN vs. KAROLINA SOBEK</h2><p>The judges weren’t required here either, although the decision came in the third round.
