ADAMIA</h2><p>Bitva o titul muší váhy je tady! Sam Creasey, bývalý dvojnásobný šampion Cage Warriors a aktuální král OKTAGONu, se chystá na první obhajobu svého pásu. Světová #62 s černým páskem v BJJ má na kontě 5 KO a 8 submisí a patří mezi nejkomplexnější bojovníky divize. Proti němu stojí tvrdý Gruzínec Beno Adamia, který poslední tři roky drtí jednoho soupeře za druhým. Na kontě pět vítězství v řadě, pět demolic v prvním kole či čtyři submise! S bohatými zkušenostmi z ACB a M-1 přichází v životní formě, připraven svrhnout šampiona.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1087"></oktfightcomponent><h2>KOZMA VS. PUKAČ</h2><p>Růžový panter je zpět! David Kozma, bývalý šestinásobný šampion OKTAGONu a legenda organizace, přijal výzvu „Bratislavského prince“ Roba Pukače a fanoušci svými hlasy rozhodli, že tuhle bitvu si nenechají ujít. Pukač má teď pořádně nabito a je v životní formě po tom, co v Bratislavě předvedl životní výkon, když přestřílel zkušeného Diedricka z Glory. Teď srší sebevědomím a chce přidat největší skalp kariéry, navíc na Kozmově domácím území. Vrátí se David Kozma na výsluní nebo je tohle konec jednoho velkého příběhu?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1065"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PETRÁŠEK VS. STANTON</h2><p>Miloš „Meloun" Petrášek, miláček českých fanoušků a svěřenec Andrého Reinderse, se chystá na životní výzvu v milionové pyramidě Tipsport Gamechanger. Chce si splnit svůj sportovní sen, ale hned v prvním kole narazí na tvrdou překážku – Micka Stantona. Anglický bijec je nekompromisní a naposledy ukončil Wojciechovského. Oba borci mají jasný cíl: projít dál a přiblížit se pohádkové výhře. Kdo udělá první krok k triumfu?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1119"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MICHAILIDIS VS. HULME</h2><p>Řecký Spartan je zpět! Andreas Michailidis, finalista prvního ročníku Tipsport Gamechangeru, se vrací s jediným cílem – dotáhnout to až na vrchol. Loni prošel přes Silvu, Grabinského i Glismanna, ale trofej mu nakonec unikla. Teď je odhodlaný to napravit! Jenže hned v prvním kole narazí na nebezpečného soupeře. Mark Hulme, nová tvář OKTAGONU a specialista na Rear Naked Choke, přichází se silnou zemařskou hrou. Tréninkový parťák šampiona Dricuse Du Plessise už polovinu svých soupeřů uškrtil a na stejnou zbraň sází i tentokrát.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1120"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ĎATELINKA VS. CORDERO</h2><p>Odveta dvou nebezpečných strikerů v rezervním zápase Tipsport Gamechanger 3 slibuje rychlou a tvrdou podívanou. Ďatelinka, bývalý titulový vyzyvatel s deseti výhrami před limitem, se už jednou s Corderem potkal, ale jejich zápas skončil bez výsledku po nechtěném úderu do zátylku. Nyní je připraven dokončit to, co začal. Cordero je však stejně nekompromisní – jeho KO statistiky budí respekt, ať už jde o debut za 37 sekund, highkick na Štvanici za 22 sekund či nedávnou submisi Taburceana. Tohle bude rychlé a zběsilé!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1090"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ŠKVOR VS. ZOVAK</h2><p>Česká stand-up legenda a vítěz OKTAGON Underground, Daniel Škvor, se po téměř roce vrací do boje! Čtvrtý muž žebříčku polotěžké váhy je známý svými tvrdými údery a na kontě má už čtyři knockouty v prvním kole, včetně cenného skalpu Martina Zawady. Jeho cíl je jasný – přiblížit se titulové šanci. Proti němu stojí Zovak, nebezpečný striker s jedenácti knockouty a třemi submisemi. Už se utkal i s Čepem a díky bohatým zkušenostem z MMA, boxu i kickboxu se bude snažit překvapit. Dokáže ostřílenou legendu zastavit zkušený nováček OKTAGONU?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1138"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SAMDONIDSE VS. JIMENEZ</h2><p>Nejlepší bojovník pérové váhy v OKTAGONu, Niko Samsonidse, je zpět a znovu míří na vrchol! Černý pás v BJJ a komplexní dovednosti mu vynesly deset vítězství před limitem, z toho osm v prvním kole. V organizaci už zdolal jména jako Paulus, Hantea či Torres a v titulovém souboji měl v úvodním kole navrch i nad Keitou. Teď potřebuje další velkou výzvu, aby se k pásu vrátil. Tou je Edgar Delgado Jimenez, čtyřnásobný šampion Lux Fight League, který v posledních šesti zápasech nepoznal porážku. Čtyři titulové výhry a stoprocentní ukončovací instinkt z něj dělají smrtící hrozbu. „Jsem připraven bojovat kdekoliv a s kýmkoliv,“ hlásí Jimenez, odhodlaný ukázat, že právě on bude novým vládcem OKTAGONu.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1128"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MUDROCH VS. BUZDUGAN</h2><p>Dva debutanti, kteří poprvé zažijí atmosféru nejlepší evropské MMA show! Český bojovník z Fighting Club Ostrava, Tomáš Mudroch, bude mít samozřejmě značnou podporu domácího publika v zádech i odhodlání nováčka organizace. Tvrdý soupeř mu přijíždí z Moldavska – nekompromisní finišer s bilancí sedmi profesionálních zápasů, z nichž většinu ukončil před limitem. Díky kombinaci rychlých knockoutů a precizních submisí budí Buzdugan respekt a v OKTAGONu je připraven potvrdit svou nebezpečnost. Kdo si v tomto souboji připíše první žlutočerné vítězství?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1089"></oktfightcomponent><h2>LIGOCKI VS. SCHOBER</h2><p>Do OKTAGONu vstupuje nová česká naděje Daniel Ligocki, neporažený v amatérech a nekompromisní i v profi kariéře. Začínal kdysi s japonským jiu-jitsu pod vedením katolického kněze a dnes je známý svou chladnokrevností – naposledy právě v rodném Třinci uškrtil Maného za bouřlivých ovací domácích fanoušků. Teď ho však čeká daleko zkušenější soupeř, Dominik Schober, tvrdý rakouský bojovník s 11 vítězstvími před limitem. Pět knockoutů, pět submisí v prvním kole a neuvěřitelná odolnost – s Corderem vydržel všechna tři kola a naposledy svedl parádní bitvu s Akipou. „Boj je buď tvůj život, nebo tě to sežere,“ hlásí odhodlaný Schober, který si je vědom, že tuto výhru prostě potřebuje.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1105"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SZABOVÁ VS. FARIA</h2><p>Lucia Szabová je zpět a znovu na cestě k titulu! Neporažená světová #26 bantamu s přezdívkou „Silent Killer“ už šestkrát ukončila své soupeřky a po tříleté pauze se vrátila ve velkém stylu – nejprve zastavila Gumiennu, poté dokázala vybojovat výhru nad Álvarez a byla jen krůček od titulové bitvy. Z té ji však vyřadila nemoc. Teď před ní stojí ostřílená Kalindra Faria, brazilská veteránka s 30 zápasy a šampionka tří organizací, která prošla UFC i KSW. Jednu dobu byla dokonce světovou #3 slámové váhy a její skóre mluví za vše – 7 KO, 6 submisí. Pokud Szabová chce opět bojovat o pás, musí projít přes jednu z nejzkušenějších soupeřek své kariéry!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1135"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SMOLKOVÁ VS. ÁLVAREZ</h2><p>Veronika Smolková si svůj sen splnila – nejenže je v OKTAGONu, ale také ovládla muší váhu! Po dominantní výhře nad Simplicio, kterou ukončila za pouhých 66 sekund, se vyšvihla na post jedničky divize. MMA podřizuje vše a výsledky mluví jasně – tři výhry v řadě, všechny před limitem, a čím dál hlasitější volání po titulové šanci. Jenže teď ji čeká zatím největší výzva – Aitana "Pitbull" Álvarez. Španělská divoška trénuje v prestižním Allstars Training Center po boku světových hvězd, má za sebou tvrdé zápasy, včetně napínavé bitvy se Szabovou, a porazila i britskou naději Morris. V profi kariéře zatím nikdy neprohrála před limitem a s bilancí 14 zápasů bude chtít Smolkové zatarasit cestu k titulu.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1091"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>OKTAGON 67 už zítra!

TVŮJ PŘEHLED: OKTAGON 67 ZÁPAS PO ZÁPASE 

<p><strong>OKTAGON 80</strong> was an epic night full of brutal finishes, fantastic submissions, and surprising outcomes. A few days after the event, we can now look back at everything that went down in Munich. Who climbed the global rankings, and how do the OKTAGON rankings look now? You’ll find all the updates right here.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/ed803622-358a-4187-ad55-53809a065cac/cs.1764171125432.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/03a94528-e3de-4ba6-a9ae-fc13f2d292a1/cs.1764171129687.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>A NEW LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION AND A TURBULENT WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION</h2><p>The main change, of course, is the crowning of the returning lightweight champion <strong>Mateusz Legierski</strong>. Along with regaining the belt, he now holds the #7 spot in the P4P rankings and sits at #125 in the global FightMatrix rankings—which is an excellent result in such a stacked lightweight division.</p><p>Another double shift came for the Slovak star <strong>Ronald Paradeiser</strong>. In the welterweight rankings, he overtook his teammate and friend Ion Surdu and is now the division’s #1 contender. A fan favorite with a staggering 22 MMA fights in OKTAGON, he also moved to #8 in the promotion’s P4P rankings. The prestigious website Tapology even named Paradeiser the European #1 in the 77 kg division as well as in the European P4P rankings! Will Rony finally get his long-awaited title shot?</p><p>But the changes in the welterweight division don’t end there. The undefeated German phenomenon <strong>Felix Klinkhammer</strong> is rising fast—after submitting Máté Kertész, he moved up to #5 and is now within reach of a title eliminator. On the other hand, <strong>Kertész</strong> dropped out of the top 10 after another loss. The beloved <strong>“Kelt,” Christian Jungwirth</strong>, also moved up two places and now holds the #8 spot, overtaking his rival <strong>Christian Eckerlin</strong>, who sits at #10.</p><p>There were also notable shifts in the lightweight division. <strong>Mateusz Legierski</strong> is the champion and<strong> Ivan Buchinger </strong>remains the clear #1 contender. But the biggest jump came from the Turkish powerhouse <strong>Gökhan Aksu</strong>, who is now ranked #2 and can realistically aim for a title opportunity. Meanwhile,<strong> Attila Korkmaz</strong> fell one spot and sits at #4. <strong>Ozan Aslaner</strong> also entered the lightweight top 10 after his victory over the experienced Elpidio.</p><h2>GLOBAL RANKING SHIFTS: WHO MADE THE BIGGEST JUMPS?</h2><p>Alongside the OKTAGON rankings, several changes occurred in the global FightMatrix rankings. Here are the most significant movements after the Munich event:</p><ul><li><p>The biggest jump came from <strong>Ozan Aslaner</strong>, who moved from #911 to an incredible #181 in lightweight after defeating Elpidio!</p></li><li><p><strong>Mateusz Legierski</strong> improved by 40 places, landing at #125 and moving within striking distance of the global lightweight top 100.</p></li><li><p><strong>Gökhan Aksu</strong> also made a major leap, rising from #221 to #158 in a single evening—highlighting how important his win over Frimpong was.</p></li><li><p><strong>Felix Klinkhammer</strong> climbed thirty spots and now holds the #135 position in the welterweight division.</p></li><li><p>Czech fighter <strong>Matouš “Mighty Rooster” Kohout</strong> made a massive climb, moving from #558 to #388—a fantastic result.</p></li></ul><h2>THE FINAL EVENT OF THE YEAR PROMISES A SPECTACULAR ENDING</h2><p>Just four weeks remain until <strong>OKTAGON 81</strong>. <strong>One of the best cards in OKTAGON history</strong> will bring several world-class matchups. Four of the six highest-ranked male fighters in the promotion will compete on the same night—against each other! The title fight between <strong>Fleury </strong>and<strong> Buday</strong> has all the ingredients to become one of the biggest European bouts ever. The same can be said for the flyweight title fight, where two UFC veterans—current champion <strong>Zhalgas Zhumagulov</strong> and Czech contender <strong>David Dvořák</strong>—will collide.</p><p>And that’s far from all. Fans will finally see a heated rematch that has been building for ten long years. The rivalry between <strong>Patrik Kincl </strong>and <strong>Robert Pukač </strong>will culminate in a true Czech-Slovak derby. Both have been firing shots for months, bringing old wounds back to the surface, but on <strong>December 28 </strong>the talking ends and the cage will settle it. Kincl, a former champion, desperately needs a win after two defeats, while “The Prince of Bratislava” Pukač is in the best form of his life and knows this is the biggest opportunity of his career.</p><p>We will also see <strong>the first ever Celebrity Series</strong> bout between <strong>Raška</strong> and <strong>Tóth</strong>—tension is building and the O2 arena is ready.</p><p>Fan favorite <strong>Daniel Škvor</strong> steps into heavyweight waters against German gladiator <strong>Patrick Vespaziani</strong>. <strong>Veronika Smolková</strong> faces the toughest challenge of her career against UFC veteran <strong>Stephanie Egger</strong>, and many more exciting fights guarantee a night to remember.</p><p><strong>So don’t hesitate—get a ticket for yourself or as a Christmas gift for someone close to you.

THE STORM IN THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION CONTINUES. HOW DID THE RANKINGS CHANGE AFTER OKTAGON 80?

<p>A storm of finishes and a night of underdogs. That’s the best way to describe Saturday night in Munich’s SAP Garden. OKTAGON 80 delivered a phenomenal show — the atmosphere in the arena said it all. Fans witnessed eight stoppages in eleven fights. So how did the judges score the remaining three bouts?</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e318b6ed-4556-4db4-b245-699a12217a29/cs.1764082543984.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/474c6ec1-b7b1-42ed-be0f-70c563624609/cs.1764082548719.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>MATEUSZ LEGIERSKI vs. ATTILA KORKMAZ</h2><p>A new lightweight champion! Mateusz “Dynamite” Legierski delivered a dominant performance and deservedly won on points. Korkmaz had a few bright moments, especially in the third round, but Legierski always responded, regained control and dictated the pace. Whenever scoring on the feet got complicated, he took the fight to the ground and secured it there. With his return to OKTAGON, he sent a clear message to the entire division — he’s back and stronger than ever.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1288" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>CHRISTIAN JUNGWIRTH vs. NIKLAS STOLZE</h2><p>A Celtic war and an unexpected TKO! Christian “The Kelt” Jungwirth delivered one of the best performances of his career. His endless pressure caused Stolze to fade until, in round four, he was forced into total survival mode. Jungwirth overwhelmed him with combinations, and the referee stopped the fight. An emotional eruption in the arena — Jungwirth’s road to the Eckerlin rematch has officially begun.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1270" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ALEXANDER POPPECK vs. DAVID HOŠEK</h2><p>A crazy start, a brutal finish! Hošek dropped Poppeck early with a stunning high kick — he was inches away from causing a huge upset. But the German “Viking” survived, came back into the fight, and controlled the rest of the round on the ground. In round two, he broke Hošek with heavy ground-and-pound. Poppeck wins via TKO.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1290" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>RONALD PARADEISER vs. GERALDO NETO</h2><p>Technical dominance from Rony Paradeiser! From the very first second, he showcased the difference in skill levels. He maintained distance, landed clean shots, and didn’t allow Neto to impose his game. When the Brazilian tried to tie things up in the clinch, Rony punished him with a sharp elbow followed by ground strikes, forcing a TKO in round two. One of the most controlled performances of the evening.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1284" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>GÖKHAN AKSU vs. DENIS FRIMPONG</h2><p>A wild shootout and a performance of the night! This heated clash delivered exactly what everyone expected. Frimpong struck first and rocked Aksu, but the Turkish finisher instantly turned the momentum. A clean rear hand and an uppercut put Frimpong in trouble, Aksu swarmed him, and the referee stopped it already in round one. With this statement victory, Gökhan Aksu made his case for a spot in the lightweight TOP 5.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1305" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>MATOUŠ KOHOUT vs. HAFENI NAFUKA</h2><p>A tactical war until the final second! Nafuka wanted to take Kohout to the ground, while Kohout excelled in the clinch and standing exchanges. After two rounds, the score was 1–1. In the decisive third round, the more active fighter was “Mighty Rooster” Kohout, who earned the closest possible win by split decision. How did you see the fight?</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1324" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>MÁTÉ KERTÉSZ vs. FELIX KLINKHAMMER</h2><p>The submission master strikes again! Felix Klinkhammer proved why he’s considered a phenomenon from London Shootfighters. He took the fight to the ground quickly, looked for the back, then changed the plan and caught a knee bar. Kertész tapped immediately. Felix improves to 11–0 and records his eighth career submission.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1281" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>MICHAEL DEIGA-SCHECK vs. TEO SMITH</h2><p>Emotion, a sudden turn, and a sad career ending. The German crowd pushed Scheck forward, and the beginning of the match looked promising. But then Smith landed a powerful right hand, secured a dominant position on the ground, and forced the tap with elbows. Smith wins by first-round TKO, and Scheck announced his retirement afterward. Thank you for everything, Michael.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1303" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>OZAN ASLANER vs. MARCO ANTONIO ELPIDIO</h2><p>A Turkish lesson in clean counters!

OKTAGON 80 THROUGH THE EYES OF THE JUDGES: ONLY THREE FIGHTS WENT TO THE SCORECARDS!

<p>An incredible night full of surprises, lightning-fast finishes, and hard-fought battles — that was OKTAGON 80 in Munich’s SAP Garden. The packed modern arena witnessed a spectacular evening of European MMA. Eight out of eleven fights ended before the final bell. And we also crowned a new lightweight champion. Here are the results from the final German event of 2025.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7c0e413f-f1d9-42c0-bc95-8fa27251a074/cs.1763905067813.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/f304b3c0-2a0d-4af4-9606-f713958bcf7c/cs.1763905075699.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>MATEUSZ LEGIERSKI vs. ATTILA KORKMAZ</h2><p>Mateusz Legierski earned a clear decision victory and became the new lightweight champion. The Polish “Dynamite” was better in almost every aspect of the fight. Korkmaz had a few good moments when it looked like he might turn the fight around, but Legierski always regained focus and took control again. And whenever things got tricky on the feet, he took the fight to the ground. After five rounds, Legierski won by decision and sent a message to the entire division — I’m back and I’m ready. Who will challenge him first?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1288"></oktfightcomponent><h2>CHRISTIAN JUNGWIRTH vs. NIKLAS STOLZE</h2><p>Arguably one of the fights of the night. An unbelievable war that ultimately ended in the fourth round with a victory for the beloved “Kelt” Jungwirth! A huge surprise for many fans and experts. Jungwirth relied on his biggest weapon — relentless pressure. Stolze seemed to slowly fade and lose the will to withstand Jungwirth’s nonstop aggression. In the fourth round, he was forced into a deep defensive shell, and “The Kelt” overwhelmed him with combinations. Just before the end of the round, the referee had seen enough and stopped the fight. Jungwirth wins by TKO — and his dream of a rematch with Eckerlin is alive once again.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1270"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ALEXANDER POPPECK vs. DAVID HOŠEK</h2><p>We were just inches away from the biggest upset of the night. In the opening seconds, Hošek dropped Poppeck with a powerful high kick. But the German Viking recovered quickly and then took over. Using his size and weight advantage, he controlled Hošek on the ground, hammering him with heavy strikes and finishing the fight by TKO in the second round.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1290"></oktfightcomponent><h2>RONALD PARADEISER vs. GERALDO NETO</h2><p>A dominant performance from Rony Paradeiser — even despite an unpleasant injury. He entered the fight confidently and dictated the pace from the start. His distance control was excellent, and Neto quickly realized that striking would be extremely difficult. He tried to tie Paradeiser up and limit his movement, but the Slovak fighter handled the clinch just as well. In the second round, Paradeiser landed a hard elbow and followed with strikes on the ground until the referee stepped in. Paradeiser wins by TKO.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1284"></oktfightcomponent><h2>GÖKHAN AKSU vs. DENIS FRIMPONG</h2><p>A performance worthy of a “Performance of the Night” bonus! Gökhan Aksu won by TKO in the first round! This heated matchup delivered exactly what everyone expected — a back-and-forth war where neither man gave an inch. Frimpong started well and even stunned Aksu, but then got caught by a heavy cross and uppercut that rocked him badly. Aksu swarmed him and finished the fight brutally. A fantastic bout from both fighters! Aksu moves significantly closer to a future title shot.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1305"></oktfightcomponent><h2>HAFENI NAFUKA vs. MATOUŠ KOHOUT</h2><p>A tense fight that went all the way to the judges’ scorecards. Hafeni Nafuka came in with a clear strategy — take the fight to the ground and dominate there. Kohout, on the other hand, aimed to keep it standing and in the clinch, where he threatened with hard elbows. It was a true back-and-forth fight. Kohout repeatedly managed to stand up and avoided dangerous traps, but he struggled to fully impose his game. Entering the final round, the score was tied 1–1. In the last five minutes, “Mighty Rooster” was the better man and earned a tough, well-deserved victory. Credit to Nafuka for taking the fight on short notice and delivering a solid performance.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1324"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MÁTÉ KERTÉSZ vs. FELIX KLINKHAMMER</h2><p>A surgical performance from the undefeated Felix Klinkhammer, who won by submission at the end of the first round. The fight stayed standing only briefly — once on the ground, Felix was clearly superior. He first attempted to take Kertész’s back for an RNC, but then transitioned and caught his leg in a knee bar. The Hungarian fighter tapped quickly. Klinkhammer secures his eighth career submission and improves to 11–0. Who will he face next?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1281"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MICHAEL DEIGA-SCHECK vs. TEO SMITH</h2><p>It was clear from the walkouts who the SAP Garden crowd was supporting. And early in the fight, it looked like Deiga-Scheck was on his way to victory. But then Smith landed a huge right hand and everything changed. He forced the German veteran into a bad position on the ground and began smashing him with elbows, forcing the tap. Teo Smith wins by first-round TKO in his debut. Deiga-Scheck announced his retirement after the fight — we thank him for all the moments he gave us and wish him the best in the next chapter of his life.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1303"></oktfightcomponent><h2>OZAN ASLANER vs. MARCO ANTONIO ELPIDIO</h2><p>Ozan Aslaner returned in great form. Elpidio struggled from the start with the German-Turkish fighter’s long reach. He tried to close the distance, but that was exactly what Aslaner anticipated — landing sharp counters again and again. After 15 minutes, Aslaner earned a clear decision victory and an important win.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1322"></oktfightcomponent><h2>HENRIQUE MADUREIRA vs. ERIGLENT PRIZRENI</h2><p>We have truly never seen anything like this! Madureira scored a completely unique submission victory — a standing reverse triangle choke combination! An absolute rarity that fans will remember for a long time. Prizreni, on the other hand, was extremely disappointed as his OKTAGON debut went terribly wrong.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1326"></oktfightcomponent><h2>EUGEN BLACK-DELL vs. EEMIL KURHELA</h2><p>Eugen Black-Dell came prepared and controlled the fight from the very first moment. He was sharp on the feet and shook Kurhela several times in the opening round. In the second round, he landed a strong combination that sent the Finnish talent to the canvas — and finished the job there.

OKTAGON 80 RESULTS: A NIGHT FULL OF SURPRISES! WHO BECAME THE LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION?

<p>This Saturday, SAP Garden will transform into an arena where everything is on the line. OKTAGON 80 brings a show packed with stars, legends, hometown heroes, and elite international talents. The return of icons, clashes of top prospects, heated rivalries, and battles for a spot among the elite – that’s what the final German event of the year promises. Here is your complete fight-by-fight breakdown.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/bd94038c-5b63-4953-af28-77b3481f7f4e/cs.1763802589276.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/95964533-d530-457a-805c-689fcdcfaafd/cs.1763802650868.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>MATEUSZ LEGIERSKI vs. ATTILA KORKMAZ</h2><p>A lightweight shootout for the title! Mateusz Legierski – the first lightweight champion in OKTAGON history – returns after years to show why people have always spoken about his potential comeback to the throne. The Polish powerhouse is dangerous both on the feet and on the ground and wants to prove he still belongs at the very top. But Turkey’s Attila Korkmaz is one of the most seasoned fighters in the division. With three European titles already, he now aims to add the most prestigious one to his collection. Who will become the new lightweight king?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1288"></oktfightcomponent><h2>CHRISTIAN JUNGWIRTH vs. NIKLAS STOLZE</h2><p>An emotional German derby. Christian “The Kelt” Jungwirth is a fan favorite whose fights are never boring. He always moves forward, always wants a war, and always fights until the last breath. Niklas Stolze, a UFC veteran, enters with one mission – silence SAP Garden and prove he is one of the most talented German fighters of his generation. Relentless pressure vs. pure technique – who takes Munich?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1270"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ALEXANDER POPPECK vs. DAVID HOŠEK</h2><p>A fight that could be decided by a single punch! German powerhouse Alexander Poppeck is known for his physical dominance and nonstop pressure. But David Hošek is no newcomer to OKTAGON – his gloves have put many opponents to sleep before the final bell. “The Spartan” wants to get back on track and show that he still carries dynamite in his hands.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1290"></oktfightcomponent><h2>RONALD PARADEISER vs. GERALDO NETO</h2><p>Paradeiser on the hunt for a title shot! Ronald Paradeiser has been a top name in the organization for years and wants to follow up on his dominant win over Veličković. The Slovak sniper brings precise striking and massive experience against elite competition. Brazil’s Geraldo Neto, however, has plenty of experience of his own – 3 of his last 4 fights were for titles. He’s traveling to Europe for the first time to upset the favorite.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1284"></oktfightcomponent><h2>GÖKHAN AKSU vs. DENIS FRIMPONG</h2><p>A heated clash between two streaking fighters! Denis Frimpong is one of the organization’s biggest “villains” – he provokes, annoys his opponents, entertains fans, and wins. Five straight victories and #8 in lightweight make him a strong candidate for the top 5. But Gökhan Aksu has been trading words with him since the press conference. The two-time Austrian champion rides the same five-fight winning streak and loves finishing fights violently. One of them will lose the streak. The other will move closer to a title shot.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1305"></oktfightcomponent><h2>HAFENI NAFUKA vs. MATOUŠ KOHOUT</h2><p>A classic clash of styles! Hafeni Nafuka relies on his dominance on the ground and won’t want to spend a single second trading with the dangerous Kohout. The Czech “Mighty Rooster,” however, has seen it all and won’t give up his back easily. He’ll be looking to use his devastating clinch, which has broken many opponents. A stylistic battle where precision meets heart.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1324"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MÁTÉ KERTÉSZ vs. FELIX KLINKHAMMER</h2><p>An extremely tough matchup! Máté Kertész is one of OKTAGON’s most battle-tested fighters – a former title challenger who has been through true wars in the cage. After two straight losses, he needs the performance of his life. Standing across from him is undefeated German predator Felix Klinkhammer (10–0). A product of the legendary London Shootfighters gym, a submission master, and a former Ares FC champion. On the ground, he dominates like no one else, with seven submission victories to his name. Experience vs. flawless precision.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1281"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MICHAEL DEIGA-SCHECK vs. TEO SMITH</h2><p>German power vs. Swiss ferocity! Deiga-Scheck has delivered several unforgettable OKTAGON moments – his aggression and toughness are well-known. Teo Smith, the Swiss bulldog, arrives determined to break through and defeat the German favorite at his own game.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1303"></oktfightcomponent><h2>OZAN ASLANER vs. MARCO ANTONIO ELPIDIO</h2><p>Expect relentless pace! Ozan Aslaner never backs down from a challenge – not even from a seasoned veteran like Elpidio (22–11–2). Both can finish fights early but can also drag out technical battles. Aslaner wants to repair his reputation after his last loss, while Elpidio aims to show he can compete with OKTAGON’s best.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1322"></oktfightcomponent><h2>HENRIQUE MADUREIRA vs. ERIGLENT PRIZRENI</h2><p>A clash of two hungry wolves! Henrique Madureira impressed in his last performance, demolishing Serbezis in the first round. He now looks to continue that momentum. Standing against him is young Albanian blood Eriglent Prizreni, entering OKTAGON with a 3–0 record and two early finishes. How will he fare against the experienced Brazilian?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1326"></oktfightcomponent><h2>EUGEN BLACK-DELL vs. EEMIL KURHELA</h2><p>A finish is in the air! Black-Dell is a former champion in two German organizations with 18 professional bouts to his name. Last year he went three rounds with Holzer. Now he’s looking to brutally stop the northern raider Eemil Kurhela. The talented and likable Finn hasn’t had much luck in the yellow-black cage so far, which only fuels his hunger for victory. Will he break the streak on his third attempt, or will Black-Dell claim another scalp?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1266"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>OKTAGON 80 brings the return of legends, showdowns of undefeated talents, hometown heroes, and matchups that will reshape the rankings.

OKTAGON 80 FIGHT-BY-FIGHT: MUNICH IS SET FOR AN ACTION-PACKED NIGHT OF EMOTIONS

<p><strong>OKTAGON 80</strong> brings a stacked card full of high-level matchups. We’ll see the crowning of a new lightweight champion, a heated German derby between Jungwirth and Stolze, and an intense clash between Aksu and Frimpong. All this and much more is coming this <strong>Saturday, November 22</strong>. Check out the most interesting stats from the <strong>Munich </strong>card so your<strong> fantasy draft</strong> is built on solid ground.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/f26e4b5d-940b-4835-8ea1-c0256ab6fed0/cs.1763673597770.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/50a57934-a64f-414b-98d1-9dde26047e40/cs.1763673602500.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>DANGEROUS FINISHERS</h2><p>A real fireworks show is expected inside <strong>Munich’s SAP Garden</strong>. Several fighters on the card are known as killers who waste no time and chase the finish from the first second.</p><p>One of them is undoubtedly Polish <strong>“Dynamite” Mateusz Legierski</strong>. In OKTAGON alone, he holds a 9–1 record, with five finishes inside the distance.<strong> Korkmaz</strong>, however, has <strong>never been finished by KO/TKO</strong>.Extremely dangerous is also <strong>Niklas Stolze</strong>, who finished 10 of his 14 wins, eight of them in the first round. But <strong>“Kelt” Jungwirth</strong> is no easy matchup and can push hard even in the later stages of a fight.</p><p>A true bomber showdown awaits in <strong>Poppeck</strong> vs. <strong>Hošek</strong>. German “Ironside” Poppeck has 12 KO/TKO wins, 11 of those coming in the first round. Hošek isn’t far behind — he has finished 11 opponents inside the distance, seven in round one. Poppeck is the clear favorite, but the hammers of the Czech “Spartan” have shocked many favorites before.</p><p>And we can’t forget about<strong> Gökhan Aksu</strong>, who <strong>holds a 100% finish rate!</strong> Of his 13 wins, 10 came by KO/TKO and 3 by submission. Just like his opponent<strong> Denis Frimpong</strong>, he rides a <strong>five-fight winning streak</strong> — and this fight will decide who moves closer to the lightweight top five.</p><h2>ORGANIZATION VETERANS</h2><p>Munich will also feature two of OKTAGON’s biggest veterans — <strong>Rony Paradeiser</strong> and <strong>Máté Kertész</strong>.</p><p>The Slovakian standout has long been among the absolute elite of OKTAGON. He has an incredible 21 OKTAGON fights, winning 16 of them. The former lightweight champion now sits at <strong>#2 in the welterweight rankings</strong>, and another victory could push him into a clear title-contender spot. With a record of 22–9, he currently sits 60th in the global FightMatrix rankings.</p><p>His short-notice opponent will be dangerous <strong>Brazilian veteran Geraldo Neto</strong>. A former champion of two Brazilian organizations, he has a record of 18–7. His <strong>last 3 of 4 fights were title bouts</strong>. Neto returns after a longer layoff, and facing a surging Paradeiser will be extremely tough. Still, he was so excited for this matchup that he agreed to fight in Europe for the first time in his life. Will his European debut be a success?</p><p><strong>Máté Kertész</strong> became a fan favorite from his very first OKTAGON fights and now has 18 appearances in the yellow-black cage. The Hungarian warrior <strong>“The Cold Blooded”</strong> made it all the way to a <strong>title fight against David Kozma</strong>, though he came up short. Still, he has been a major figure in the welterweight elite for years.</p><p>Recently, however, things haven’t gone well — after two straight losses, he desperately needs a win to get back on track. But his opponent is feared predator <strong>Felix Klinkhammer</strong>. The German fighter from the prestigious <strong>London Shootfighters</strong> gym holds a perfect 10–0 record. Eight of those wins came inside the distance, seven by submission.</p><p> Can Kertész stop the German phenomenon, or will Felix’s flawless run continue?</p><h2>OUTSIDERS WHO COULD SURPRISE</h2><p><strong>David Hošek</strong> is arguably the biggest underdog on the card. He is facing a larger opponent who will be performing in front of a home Munich crowd. A tough task for the <strong>“Spartan.”</strong> But he has shown many times that he doesn’t care about odds or crowd reactions. This is a huge opportunity to prove he can still compete with the best. A scalp like <strong>Poppeck</strong> would be one of the biggest wins of his career. And all it takes is one punch — few fighters on the domestic scene hit as hard as Hošek. That’s the magic of MMA: a single strike can change everything.</p><p><strong>Christian Jungwirth</strong> and<strong> Attila Korkmaz</strong> also enter as <strong>dark-horse threats</strong>. Both face stylistically similar opponents — dynamic finishers looking to end the fight violently. But that is where their strength lies. They can absorb pressure and weaponize their endless cardio, which has broken many opponents before. Their toughness and physical conditioning could be decisive factors.</p><p><strong>Ozan Aslaner</strong> and <strong>Henrique Madureira</strong> have already shown their qualities in OKTAGON. Aslaner shut down the heavily favored Tichota, and Madureira shocked fans by blasting through Serbezis in the opening seconds.</p><p>And we can’t forget about the beloved <strong>“Mighty Rooster” Matouš Kohout</strong>, whose opponent was switched at the last minute — he now faces <strong>Hafeni Nafuka</strong>. Kohout is the underdog, but remember: Nafuka is moving up a weight class and took the fight on short notice, always a risky scenario. Kohout can rely on his striking and especially his powerful Muay Thai clinch, which has broken many foes. Nafuka will undoubtedly try to bring the fight to the ground and drag the Czech cowboy into deep grappling waters. Will he succeed? We’ll find out this Saturday.</p><p><strong>A packed event awaits us from start to finish — adrenaline, emotion, and an electrifying atmosphere. Matchups full of action and, hopefully, a barrage of finishes. You can still buy PPV at a discounted price, so don’t wait — click the link below! The price is valid only until Friday midnight.

INTERESTING OKTAGON 80 STATS: WHO SHOULD YOU PICK FOR YOUR FANTASY DRAFT?

<p>Only a few days remain before Saturday’s OKTAGON 80 event in Munich’s SAP Garden. The main event will crown the new lightweight champion. The title clash will be decided between Mateusz Legierski, the first lightweight champion in OKTAGON history, and Attila Korkmaz, former titleholder in three different European organizations.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/db9e0d7f-95ef-417c-bfef-d7f1610a5582/cs.1763570317376.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/4637e273-3bf5-47cd-a3f9-f7cc2e671de6/cs.1763570322566.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><p></p><p>Before the upcoming battle, we spoke with Attila not only about his preparation and expectations, but also about what connects the work of an IT specialist and MMA fights and what his Turkish roots mean to him.</p><p><strong>Attila, do you remember the moment when it became clear to you that you wanted to step into the cage?</strong></p><p>When I was a teenager, an older friend showed me PRIDE FC highlight videos. That was my first real contact with MMA. Despite the violent scenes, I was fascinated by the sport. My immediate reaction to those videos was: “You’ll see me in that ring one day.”</p><p><strong>How do you assess Mateusz Legierski as an opponent – technically, tactically, and mentally?</strong></p><p>He is a very athletic, explosive opponent who often relies on his physicality and toughness. However his movement patterns are stiff and predictable. Mentally, he comes across like a typical athlete: very stoic, respectful, and sportsmanlike.</p><p><strong>Where do you see the keys to victory against a former OKTAGON champion?</strong></p><p>The most important elements in this fight will be patience, aggression, and creativity.</p><p><strong>What distinguishes a title fight from a regular bout for you – and how does it influence your preparation?</strong></p><p>Unlike the usual three rounds, a title fight goes for five, which creates an additional conditioning challenge. There is also no 500-gram weight allowance. Preparation therefore puts even greater emphasis on endurance and weight management.</p><p><strong>You work full-time as a software developer. What parallels do you see between programming and combat sports?</strong></p><p>These are two passions that operate in completely different domains yet share one key commonality: both involve continuous learning. You solve problems and grow your abilities along the way.</p><p><strong>Does your technical way of thinking help you “read” opponents like Legierski and recognize strategic patterns?</strong></p><p>Definitely. Analytical thinking is always helpful when identifying patterns and tendencies. But you still need to translate those insights into practice and integrate them consistently into training. That requires a lot of hard work.</p><p><strong>How do you structure your daily routine during the intense phase of a title-fight camp – and what are the biggest challenges?</strong></p><p>The biggest challenge is the dieting phase. My inner foodie and the strict requirements of my weight class are constantly negotiating with each other – and the scale usually has the final say.</p><p><strong>You are a Berliner but compete internationally for Turkey. What does this dual identity mean to you – especially ahead of a title fight?</strong></p><p>Berlin taught me everything I needed technically and mentally as a fighter, such as discipline and persistence. But the passion and fire – that comes from my Turkish soul. When I represent Turkey, I represent the belief that with hard work and the right mindset, anything is possible, no matter where you come from. It motivates me deeply when I hear that someone was inspired to start training because of my fights. That thought gives my performances a much deeper meaning.</p><p><strong>Many athletes appear at media events in training gear. You, however, often show up very elegantly – in suits, well groomed, recently even with a distinctive pair of sunglasses. What does fashion mean to you, and what do you want to express with this stylish presence?</strong></p><p>I rarely have opportunities to dress up, since I spend most of my time at the gym. So I like to use any excuse to present myself elegantly. I enjoy showing my best self and embodying a certain level of professionalism.</p><p><strong>OKTAGON will come to Berlin for the first time in June 2026. What would it mean to you personally to walk into your hometown as a potential titleholder?</strong></p><p>That would be an incredibly motivating spectacle. All my fans in Berlin would get the chance to witness my performance live. The whole city would shake – I’m certain of that.</p><p><strong>You speak of “training systems.” What sets this approach apart from classic technique training?</strong></p><p>Technique training is only one piece of the puzzle. There are too many variables involved in successfully applying a technique. Understanding and repeating a technique is one thing; having the body truly internalize and execute it is another.</p><p><strong>This includes distance management, timing, and the right reflexes.</strong></p><p>If you structure your training correctly, you can apply techniques effectively under physical resistance, regardless of your natural movement talent.</p><p><strong>Is there a personal maxim that carries you through tough camps, setbacks, and successes?</strong></p><p>I don’t have a specific motto. In the end, I have to be able to look myself in the eyes. If I’ve done everything in my power, that fact alone carries me through both the good times and the bad.</p><p><strong>What does “success” mean to you at its core – the title itself or the path toward it?</strong></p><p>Success is a mindset. Everything leading toward it is the sum of the decisions you make day in and day out. I see the title as a milestone.</p><p><strong>If your journey so far were a movie – what would its title be?</strong></p><p>Dragonball Z.</p><p><strong>Every great athlete experiences a moment where they face their fear and grow from it. What was your defining “face your fear” moment on the road to OKTAGON 80?</strong></p><p>The question of fear doesn’t really come up for me in that way. “The Fearless” isn’t a nickname I chose – it’s a description of my reality.My defining moment wasn’t looking fear in the eyes, but realizing that I simply don’t have a space for fear within me. When I step into the cage, there’s no room for doubt or hesitation.On the road to OKTAGON 80, the biggest challenge in this camp was consistently executing everything day after day, especially sticking to the diet and cutting out all the treats.</p><okteventcomponent eventid="115"></okteventcomponent>

KORKMAZ AHEAD OF THE TITLE FIGHT: PATIENCE, AGGRESSION AND CREATIVITY WILL BE THE KEY

<p>The welterweight division is in turmoil. Champion <strong>Ion Surdu</strong> lost his belt on the scales, and it’s still unclear whether he’ll get an immediate title shot. Meanwhile, several hungry contenders — including <strong>Rony Paradeiser, Kaik Brito</strong>, and <strong>Amiran Gogoladze</strong> — are circling the throne. But now, a long-awaited name is returning to OKTAGON: the undefeated German phenom <strong>Felix Klinkhammer.</strong></p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/efcbce76-c0a7-4207-85d2-d574f8b84588/cs.1763484984551.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/1a6781b9-cb43-4e78-a87b-aa8e4ff6fc3c/cs.1763484989495.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TEN WINS, ZERO LOSSES</h2><p>In the world of MMA, Felix Klinkhammer is known by one simple word: <strong>flawless</strong>. For over a decade, he’s trained at the legendary <strong>London Shootfighters gym</strong> — home to a roster of world-class fighters who’ve achieved success across the globe. Among its notable alumni is none other than Czech legend <strong>Karlos “Terminátor” Vémola</strong>, who spent years training there.</p><p>London Shootfighters is synonymous with discipline, brutal sparring, and technical precision on the ground. It’s here, in this furnace of elite talent, that Klinkhammer was forged into one of Europe’s most dangerous welterweights.</p><p>With a <strong>perfect 10–0 record</strong>, including <strong>seven submission victories</strong>, Klinkhammer is not a brawler — he’s a surgeon. A technical assassin. Once he takes you to the mat, your world starts shrinking — fast.</p><p>His control, timing, and attention to detail are the result of years spent training alongside grappling specialists in London. He has finished opponents with a wide arsenal of techniques — rear-naked choke, arm triangle, heel hook, kneebar, and side choke, to name a few.</p><p>He first appeared in OKTAGON back in <strong>2021</strong> at <strong>OKTAGON 26</strong>, where he dominated the dangerous Tarasenko from start to finish. Since then, he’s captured the <strong>Ares FC championship</strong>, earned a reputation as one of Germany’s most respected talents, and risen to become one of Europe’s top welterweight prospects. Now, he faces his biggest challenge yet — a battle against the <strong>#9-ranked welterweight</strong> in OKTAGON.</p><h2>THE UNDEFEATED PHENOM vs. THE SEASONED VETERAN</h2><p>In Munich, Klinkhammer will meet <strong>Máté “The Cold-Blooded” Kertész</strong> — an OKTAGON veteran with an incredible 18 fights under the promotion. Kertész has fought for the welterweight title against David Kozma and has earned the admiration of OKTAGON fans for his grit and heart inside the cage.</p><p>But the Hungarian warrior enters Munich after two tough losses, knowing that this fight could define his career. He’ll step into the <strong>SAP Garden</strong> determined to prove that his time isn’t over — and that Felix Klinkhammer hasn’t yet faced anyone like him.</p><p>On the other side stands the undefeated German — a fighter with no cracks in his armor. Klinkhammer isn’t coming to survive. He’s coming to <strong>take over</strong>. His goal is clear: to show that the welterweight division belongs to him, and that he’s not in OKTAGON for experience — he’s here for the <strong>championship belt</strong>.</p><h2>WILL HE TRIUMPH IN MUNICH?</h2><p>Is <strong>Felix Klinkhammer</strong> truly what people say he is — a cold-blooded, world-class predator capable of dismantling even the toughest veterans? Or will Máté Kertész remind him that the climb to the top of European MMA is far more brutal than it looks from the outside?</p><p>For Kertész, this is a fight for survival in the <strong>welterweight Top 10</strong> — a third consecutive loss could signal the beginning of the end. For Klinkhammer, however, a victory here would be a golden ticket straight into the elite of the division.</p><p><strong>OKTAGON 80 – Munich, November 22. An undefeated rising star faces the battle-hardened veteran who’s seen it all. One man will rise. The other will fall. And the story doesn’t end there — fans can also look forward to Paradeiser vs. Neto, Jungwirth vs. Stolze, and the lightweight title showdown between Legierski and Korkmaz.

KLINKHAMMER: THE UNDEFEATED PREDATOR FROM LONDON SHOOTFIGHTERS IS HEADING TO MUNICH

<p>Two surging forces collide in Munich. The ever-provocative Irishman Denis Frimpong meets the dangerous Turkish finisher Gökhan Aksu — both on hot winning streaks, but only one can keep it alive. Who will prevail? We’ll find out on <strong>Saturday, November 22, at OKTAGON 80</strong> inside <strong>Munich’s SAP Garden</strong>.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e6f08085-e437-4659-9cf8-4e52ecde2bd6/cs.1763032975991.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/699b124b-3f25-4007-868d-b4779d956654/cs.1763032980828.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>FRIMPONG’S ROAD TO THE TITLE</h2><p>The Irish showman, emotion magnet, and master of controlled chaos. Frimpong has built a reputation in OKTAGON as both a loud provocateur and a fighter who backs up every word with action. Since joining the promotion, he’s climbed steadily through the <strong>lightweight rankings, currently sitting at #8, riding a five-fight winning streak</strong> — now facing the lethal Gökhan Aksu.</p><p>Germany has been a lucky place for Frimpong — he’s already won three times there. Most recently at OKTAGON 76, where he broke down Czech fighter Peter Gabal in the third round, proving once again that he’s a problem for anyone. While Czech fans may still view him as a villain, elsewhere his popularity is growing — thanks to his humor, charisma, and ability to put on a show.</p><p><strong>“The Menace”</strong> understands that winning fights alone doesn’t make you a star — you need personality, too. And Frimpong never shies away from the spotlight. Expect him to bring something special to Munich once again — because when Frimpong steps into the cage, it’s never just a fight. It’s a “Frimpong Show.”</p><h2>GÖKHAN AKSU: THE TURKISH DESTROYER WHO HASN’T LOST IN NEARLY THREE YEARS</h2><p>Aksu is the complete opposite of his Irish rival — he talks little and lets his fists do the talking. But after his last fight, he unexpectedly called out Frimpong, and the Irishman fired right back, setting the stage for a fiery collision.</p><p>Now based in Austria, <strong>“The Abinator”</strong> is <strong>ranked #7 in OKTAGON’s lightweight division</strong> and has a clear message in his record: <strong>every single one of his victories has come by finish</strong> — 10 by KO/TKO and 3 by submission. Since the end of 2023, he’s been unstoppable.</p><p>In his OKTAGON debut, Aksu submitted Jan Malach in the first round, then blitzed Ognjen Dimić at OKTAGON 71 with another early stoppage. He thrives in chaos — explosive power, aggressive forward pressure, and the instinct to end fights the moment he smells weakness. But Aksu isn’t just a brawler; when needed, he can switch gears, control his opponent against the fence, and take the fight to the ground. <strong>Every exchange with him is a potential minefield</strong>.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DQMIdmHjIUf/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>A FINISHER VS. ENDLESS CARDIO</h2><p>On paper, it’s a clash of two worlds. <strong>Frimpong</strong> thrives on pace and pressure — he mixes combinations with clinch work, constantly changes rhythm, and drains his opponents over time. He tends to grow stronger as the fight progresses, <strong>often taking control in the later rounds.</strong></p><p>Aksu, on the other hand, relies on bursts of <strong>explosive violence</strong> — short, deadly windows where he unleashes combinations and chases the finish. <strong>The key will be whose gameplan prevails.</strong></p><p>Both have weapons on the ground: Frimpong prefers to dominate through control and grinding pressure, while Aksu is dangerous with transitions and submissions, especially his rear-naked choke and guillotine.</p><p><strong>If Frimpong can drag the fight into a gritty, drawn-out war, he’ll likely take over late. But if Aksu lands clean early, it could all be over in seconds.</strong></p><h2>WHAT’S AT STAKE: A SHOT AT THE TOP 5</h2><p><strong>Ranked #7 vs. #8, this fight is a direct path into the top five of the lightweight division</strong> — and one big step closer to a title shot. Munich will host a matchup that could reshape the OKTAGON lightweight landscape.</p><p><strong>OKTAGON 80 – Saturday, November 22, 2025, SAP Garden, Munich. Last tickets remaining – don’t miss your chance to witness it live! Frimpong vs. Aksu – two paths, one goal. Who will open the door to the division’s elite in Munich?</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="115"></okteventcomponent>

RELENTLESS DENIS FRIMPONG PLANS TO CONQUER THE DIVISION – MUNICH CLASHES WITH GÖKHAN AKSU

<p>The milestone event OKTAGON 80 in Munich will crown a new king of the lightweight division. The main event features a title clash between Mateusz Legierski and Attila Korkmaz. Legierski was the first-ever OKTAGON lightweight champion, while Korkmaz is a three-time titleholder across various European promotions. Now, both men have the chance to claim gold on Europe’s grandest stage — inside Munich’s sold-out SAP Garden on November 22.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/8d7e1769-3a58-48e0-8481-bb4ebfbc737d/cs.1762785732194.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6bf0343d-710b-4df4-b39c-89dadcdc4144/cs.1762785737481.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>MATEUSZ LEGIERSKI: THE POLISH DYNAMITE WHO WON THE HEARTS OF OKTAGON FANS</h2><p><strong>Mateusz “Dynamit” Legierski</strong> is a Polish fighter who entered OKTAGON early in his professional career. With a record of 2–0, <strong>he made his debut at OKTAGON 11</strong> in 2019, where he finished Michal Konrád in the very first round. That explosive performance immediately catapulted him among the top contenders of the division.</p><p>He followed up with dominant<strong> victories over Paradeiser and Bahník</strong>, which earned him a title shot. At OKTAGON Prime 3, he faced Czech veteran <strong>Miroslav Štrbák</strong> for the first <strong>lightweight belt in OKTAGON</strong>. After a tough five-round battle, the judges awarded Legierski the win, making him the first OKTAGON lightweight champion in history.</p><p>Legierski then moved to Poland’s KSW, where he suffered his first professional loss against Roman Szymański. After two bouts there, he returned to OKTAGON stronger than ever — <strong>defeating Kuznik, Ryšavý, and Wanliss</strong>, while submitting fan-favorite <strong>Matouš Kohout twice</strong> in the first round. <strong>His only recent loss came against Losene Keita during the 2023 Tipsport Gamechanger season</strong>, one of OKTAGON’s most prestigious tournaments.</p><p>Now, <strong>after a year-long break, Legierski is back</strong> — ready to reclaim the title that once belonged to him. Can the Polish “Dynamite” explode once again and become a two-time OKTAGON lightweight champion?</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPl1RijjF4_/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>ATTILA KORKMAZ: THE FEARLESS FIGHTER WHO NEVER BACKS DOWN</h2><p><strong>Attila “The Fearless” Korkmaz</strong> is one of Europe’s most seasoned lightweight warriors. The <strong>Turkish fighter has captured championship titles in NCFC, RFC, and European Beatdown</strong>, and has also competed in major promotions like Bellator and ACA. With a <strong>record of 16 wins in 26 fights, including 7 finishes</strong>, Korkmaz is known for his toughness — <strong>he has never been finished by KO or TKO</strong> throughout his entire professional career.</p><p>Korkmaz entered OKTAGON through the <strong>prestigious Tipsport Gamechanger</strong> tournament, a million-euro lightweight grand prix. In the first round, he faced local star Rony Paradeiser and narrowly lost via split decision — but his fearless attitude earned him fans across Europe.</p><p>Later, <strong>he made his mark at OKTAGON 58 in Prague’s Eden Stadium</strong> with a strong win, followed by razor-close battles against Sardari and Rock, which temporarily derailed his title ambitions. But <strong>just two months ago, at OKTAGON 76 in Frankfurt, Korkmaz dominated France’s David Crol</strong>, earning a decisive victory that launched him right back into title contention.</p><p>Now, he faces his biggest challenge yet — the dangerous and explosive Mateusz Legierski. Will Korkmaz add another belt to his impressive collection, or will he fall victim to Polish power?</p><h2>WHAT WILL DECIDE THE TITLE FIGHT?</h2><p>On one side stands explosiveness, aggression, and Polish power. On the other, experience, a granite chin, and world-class takedown defense. <strong>Mateusz Legierski</strong> has every physical advantage — he’s younger, taller, and possesses knockout dynamite in his hands.</p><p>However, <strong>Attila Korkmaz </strong>has already proven that paper statistics mean little inside the cage. His discipline, resilience, and tactical fight IQ have helped him upset many favorites before. According to the bookmakers, the Polish “Dynamite” enters as the slight favorite, but Korkmaz thrives in the underdog role — and that makes him dangerous.</p><p><strong>Expect a high-paced striking battle</strong>: both men can grapple and have submission wins, but their takedown defense will likely keep this fight on the feet. Fans can look forward to a technical and explosive stand-up war, where one mistake could decide the outcome.<strong> Who will rule Munich and claim the OKTAGON lightweight crown?</strong></p><p><strong>We’ll find out on November 22, when the SAP Garden in Munich hosts an unforgettable night of MMA action. In addition to the title fight, fans can look forward to appearances from stars like Jungwirth, Stolze, Paradeiser, Mazúch, Frimpong, and many more.
