OKTAGON Underground je originální koncept vytvořený naší organizací OKTAGON MMA. Vznikl původně jako speciální soutěžní pyramida, která nabízela skvělou podívanou v době, kdy se svět potýkal s karanténou a omezeními. Aby ani fanoušci ani zápasníci nebyli ochuzeni o svůj milovaný sport, přišli jsme s unikátním nápadem a rozjeli hru podle našich vlastních pravidel.&nbsp;O několik let později už tuhle napínavou soutěž sice nevyhlašujeme, s Underground pravidly se však můžete setkat i nadále. Co tedy znamená, když má zápas pravidla Undergroundu?<h2>PRAVIDLA OKTAGON UNDERGROUND: CO JE JINAK?&nbsp;</h2>Jednou větou: Jde o zápas v postoji v malých MMA rukavicích a místo 5 kol se zápasí ve 3 kolech na 3 minuty.&nbsp;Radši v bodech?<ul><li>Zápas je kratší než klasický MMA zápas.

Nejčastěji se tak volí pro atraktivitu zápasu mezi konkrétními jmény, po náročnějším comebacku do klece či pokud na poslední chvíli odpadne soupeř a utkat by se měli zápasníci z jiné váhové kategorie (příkladem je třeba zápas Bartl vs. Magnor na OKTAGONu 42).Pravidla Undergroundu nadále přináší napínavou podívanou v postoji, která řadě zápasníků vyloženě svědčí. Podívejte se na naše oblíbené zápasy a přesvědčte se, co tahle speciální hra přináší.

O fenoménu OKTAGON Underground jste už určitě slyšeli. Napínavá soutěž, která překonala koronavirové uzavírky a posílila lásku Čechů a Slováků k bojovým sportům, se navždy zapsala do historie naší organizace. S jejími pravidly se ale v OKTAGONu setkáte čas od času znovu. Co tedy znamená, pokud se bojuje podle pravidel Undergroundu? Jak se zápas liší od klasického MMA a proč se k těmto speciálním pravidlům vracíme?

UNDERGROUND VS. MMA. JAKÝ JE ROZDÍL?

OKTAGON Underground ist ein originelles Konzept, das von unserer Organisation OKTAGON MMA entwickelt wurde. Es entstand zuerst als eine besondere Wettkampfpyramide, die eine glänzende Show lieferte in einer Zeit, als die Welt mit Quarantäne und Beschränkungen beschäftigt war. Damit die Fans und die Kämpfer nicht auf ihren geliebten Sport verzichten mussten, haben wir uns diese einzigartige Idee ausgedacht und angefangen, das Spiel nach unseren eigenen Regeln zu spielen.Einige Jahre später geben wir zwar nicht mehr den Startschuss zu diesem spannenden Wettbewerb, die Underground-Regeln werden euch aber weiterhin begegnen. Was bedeutet es also, wenn ein Kampf nach Underground-Regeln ausgetragen wird?<h2>DIE OKTAGON UNDERGROUND REGELN: WAS IST ANDERS?</h2>In einem Satz: Es handelt sich um einen Kampf im Stand mit kleinen MMA-Handschuhen und statt in 5 Runden wird in 3 Runden à 3 Minuten gekämpft.Lieber in Stichpunkten?Der Kampf ist kürzer als ein klassischer MMA-Kampf. Die Kampfdauer ist 3x3, also drei Runden zu je drei Minuten. Im Fall eines Unentschiedens gibt es noch eine Entscheidungsrunde.Es wird mit MMA-Handschuhen gekämpft.Erlaubt sind alle bekannten Techniken für den Standkampf und auch für den Kampf am Netz, wobei beide aktiv sein müssen.Der Kampf kann durch Takedowns auf den Boden verlagert werden. Dort gilt die aktive Kontrolle nach drei Sekunden als erfolgreich und es wird danach wieder im Stand weitergekämpft.Submissions und Ringen im Stand sind erlaubt.Hinsichtlich des Kampfendes und der Punktevergabe gibt es keine Unterschiede zu den klassischen MMA-Regeln.&nbsp;Im Detail: Eine genauere Regelbeschreibung, nicht erlaubte Techniken und die Art der Punktevergabe findet ihr unter&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://oktagonmma.com/underground-rules/">https://oktagonmma.com/underground-rules/</a><h2>WARUM EIGENTLICH?</h2>Für die Kämpfer ist die Teilnahme an einem Wettkampf nach Underground-Regeln keine Pflicht. Meistens entscheiden sie sich dazu wegen der Attraktivität eines Kampfes zwischen bestimmten Namen, nach einem anstrengenden Comeback im Käfig oder wenn ein Gegner im letzten Moment ausfällt und sich Kämpfer aus unterschiedlichen Gewichtsklassen gegenüberstehen würden (ein Beispiel dafür war Bartl vs. Magnor in OKTAGON 42).Die Underground-Regeln sorgen weiterhin für eine spannende Show im Standkampf, wie eine ganze Reihe von Kämpfern beweist. Seht euch unsere Lieblingskämpfe an und überzeugt euch davon, was dieses besondere Format zu bieten hat.

Sicher habt ihr schon vom OKTAGON Underground Phänomen gehört. Der spannende Wettbewerb, der die Beschränkungen der Corona-Pandemie überstand und die Liebe der Tschechen und Slowaken zum Kampfsport gestärkt hat, ist für immer in die Geschichte unserer Organisation eingegangen. Die dazugehörigen Regeln werden euch bei OKTAGON aber immer wieder begegnen. Was bedeutet es eigentlich, wenn nach Underground-Regeln gekämpft wird? Wie unterscheidet sich ein solcher Kampf vom klassischen MMA und warum kehren wir zu diesen speziellen Regeln zurück?

UNDERGROUND VS. MMA: WAS IST DER UNTERSCHIED?

OKTAGON Underground is an original concept created by our organization OKTAGON MMA. It originated as a special competition bracket that offered a great show at a time when the world was struggling with quarantine and restrictions. In order to ensure that neither the fans nor the fighters had their beloved sport taken from them, we came up with a unique idea and started the game according to our own rules.A few years later, we don't organize this exciting competition anymore, but you can still encounter the Underground <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://rules.So">rules.So</a> what does it mean when a match has Underground rules?<h2>OKTAGON UNDERGROUND RULES: WHAT'S DIFFERENT?</h2>In one sentence: It is a stand up fight with small MMA gloves and instead of five rounds, the fight is divided into three roundsof three minutes each.Radši v bodech?<ul><li>The fight is shorter than a classic MMA fight. The length of the fight is 3x3, which means three roundsof three minutes each.

Most often, it is chosen for the attractiveness of a fight between certain big names, after a challenging comeback to the cage or if an opponent cancels at the last minute and two fighters of different weight classes are supposed to face each other (for example the Bartl vs. Magnor fight at OKTAGON 42).The Underground rules make for a thrilling show in stand up, where many fighters are right at home. Watch our favorite fights and see for yourself what this special game has to offer.

You've certainly heard about the phenomenon that is OKTAGON Underground. A thrilling competition that overcame the coronavirus related lockdowns and strengthened the love that Czechs and Slovaks have for martial arts and has forever left its mark on the history of our organization. But in OKTAGON, you will come across the Underground rules from time to time. So what does it mean to fight according to the Underground rules? What makes this fight different from classic MMA and why do we keep coming back to these special rules? 

UNDERGROUND VS. MMA. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

A huge challenge awaits him soon – Prague’s O2 Arena and a showdown with local legend Karlos Vémola, who’s taken up his dangerous challenge. How is he feeling right now? We got all the answers from the fiery Will Fleury.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/cabf396c-fdf1-4cc3-ab53-dd29e1505f98/cs.1734626986351.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6146175a-6981-4fc0-800a-f3e464a6a625/cs.1734626991326.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent>What does it mean to you personally to close out the year with a fight against someone like Vemola in front of a sold-out O2 arena? Have you thought about how a victory might impact your career and life outside the cage?Yeah, obviously it would be life-changing for me. When I signed with OKTAGON, this is exactly how I set things out in my head – take out some of the top guys in the division and then go to the Karlos fight. And I've made this happen.How do you approach a fight of this magnitude mentally? Does the size of the event or the crowd’s reaction affect your focus?I don't really care to be honest. If I'm the bad guy, great. If I'm the good guy, who cares. All I want to do is go in and create something that's like, wow, sh*t, this guy's a really good fighter. And afterwards, whether you love me or hate me, you'll be like, f*ck, he is a good fighter.What kind of reaction are you expecting from Czech fans? To be honest, what I noticed in Slovakia was that Karlos wasn't very popular. A lot of people were coming over to me telling me they hope I whoop his a**, even Czech people. Karlos has a reputation for trying to get inside his opponents’ heads. How do you handle his psychological tactics?Every fight is a mental battle as well, but I feel if your technique is good enough, it's very easy to be confident. For me, the mental preparation is also the physical preparation. If I know how you're about to move and I can predict this and I can hit you, it's pretty easy to be confident now. I can hit you and you can't hit me. This is a lot of power and I feel like with Karlos, I'm going to create that situation. That's why when we're starting to talk sh*t to each other, I can look him in the eyes and smile and say, I'm going to f*ck you up.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1076"></oktfightcomponent>Your fighting style is known for being direct and uncompromising. When you're in the cage, how much of your strategy is pre-planned versus relying on instincts and improvisation?Yeah, I think watching your opponent is huge. I think it's very important to do a lot of video work on the guy to understand how he's going to move and to understand how you're going to sequence what he does. If I give you this, how will you react? And now it's possible that on the night his reaction will be different. So it's like, okay, you're giving him two options. Is he going for A or B? And now I've learned techniques worked out from this. I think this is your job. If you're going to be a professional fighter, be professional. Do your homework beforehand. Watch the guy.Do you ever avoid over-analyzing your opponent to stay adaptable during the fight?There'll be situations like sometimes I like to enter a spar where I don't know the guy at all. And you just have to read it on the day because there will be situations in a fight where people are going to do unpredictable things. Get used to the chaos in one way, but also you can predict chaos a lot of the time. And if I know how you're going to move, I can exploit this very easily.Looking back to the very beginning, what first attracted you to MMA? What made you decide to commit to it as a career?I think the fact that I knew I would get a reward for the effort that I put into it. A fight is obviously a very tough situation mentally to enter into. I was always like, that won't bother me. I know that if I prepare properly, I can beat anybody. I always believed that. My parents were very good at instilling the belief that if you work hard enough, you can go and achieve anything.Did you fight even as a kid? I got the cr*p beaten out of me by my brothers as a kid a lot, and I felt like, well, if I'm able to stand up to them, I can stand up to anyone because they were so much bigger and older than me. I had that thing of, no, I can keep standing up to these challenges. That belief made me want to pursue MMA.Do you remember your very first MMA training session? What was it like, and how did it influence your decision to keep pursuing the sport?I actually do remember my first training. It's a long time since I thought about this, but it was me and an Algerian guy beating the sh*t out of each other. I loved it. I was really nervous before we started fighting. It wasn't hard sparring or anything; it was just wrestling, but we were so emotional about winning this wrestling thing. He was a really tough guy, obviously, and I was a rugby player, so I was a big, strong guy.How did it turn out?The coach got the two of us to do a couple of rounds at the end of the session. Technique-wise, it was terrible. But from a competition point of view, it was like, right, I want to be the guy. I want to be the man here, and he wanted to be the man really badly. We went for about 15 minutes, just killing each other. Eventually, he got tired, and I won.Your background includes rugby. Do you think the skills or mentality you developed in rugby helped you transition into MMA?It helped in a lot of ways. A double-leg takedown is very similar to a rugby tackle, and the timing and physicality came naturally to me. In rugby, you’re used to collisions with people running toward you, so I wasn’t afraid of hard hits. That mindset carried over to MMA.Do you feel rugby gave you any mental edge when it comes to handling pressure and competition in MMA?Rugby taught me about competition and failure. You try, you fail, and you learn. That mindset carried over to MMA. In rugby, failures aren’t as personal because it’s a team sport, but in MMA, it’s all on you. That’s challenging, but also satisfying because it means you’re in control.What have been the toughest moments of your career so far, and how have they shaped you as a fighter and a person?I’ve had a lot of tough times in this career. Early on, after my pro debut, a Portuguese fighter was killed in Ireland, and MMA was effectively banned. It was very difficult to get my second fight. I had a lot of opponents lined up, and they would pull out, or the shows would be canceled because of insurance purposes. It was very difficult during that period, and I wasn’t making much money. I questioned a lot if I could make this a sustainable career. Was it worth the investment of my time and energy? But I kept going. I was undefeated as an amateur and a pro at the time, and getting signed to Bellator was a big moment for me.What lessons did you learn from your first professional loss, and how did it impact your approach?In my first loss, I overlooked my opponent. He was 6-0 with six knockouts, but because he was a last-minute replacement, I dismissed him. I thought I’d smash him, and that cocky attitude hurt me. I got knocked out in the first round. It was a huge lesson in humility and preparation. That loss, and the ones that followed, taught me to respect every opponent. Without those tough moments, I wouldn’t be as good a fighter today.How do you mentally recover from a tough loss, and what keeps you motivated to improve and move forward?Losses expose you to reality. The more you try to protect yourself from failure, the less you’ll grow. It still bothers me when I think about those moments, but that pain drives me to improve. I’m grateful for those challenges because they shaped who I am as a fighter.What goes through your mind in the final moments before walking out to the cage? Are you nervous, calm, or something else entirely?At that point, I’m actually quite calm. Everything feels mellow and blank because all the work has been done. It’s time to let go and enjoy the moment.How do you mentally prepare for the intensity of the walkout and the fight itself? I love my walkouts. The energy from the crowd, the buzz—it’s amazing. In the warm-up, I get pumped up and feel that nervous energy. But when it’s time to walk out, I find a sense of peace. I've seen it so many times in my own head, and I've visualised the whole thing. It feels like I’m watching myself from the outside. Let your brain take the backseat for a second, just go and be primal Will, and let that guy take over. Will f*cking Fleury, the fighter, he's gonna go in and do his work now. So it's a funny feeling, but I really, really enjoy the intensity of those moments.Do you have any role models, either in sports or outside of it, who inspire you in your approach to life and fighting?Growing up, I admired Irish rugby players like Paul O’Connell and Ronan O’Gara. They were stoic and embraced challenges. As I got older, my focus shifted to becoming my own role model. I hold myself accountable to the person I want to be.If young Will Fleury could meet you now, what do you think he’d say? And if you could give him advice, what would you tell him?I think young Will would be proud overall, though he might disagree with some of my choices. If I could give him advice, I’d tell him not to fear failure. Embrace challenges and take risks because that’s how you grow.Finally, if someone who’s never seen you fight asks, "Why should I watch Will Fleury in the cage?"—what would you say?Because I give everything I have. I fight with intensity and heart, always looking to finish. Love me or hate me, you won’t forget me.<okteventcomponent eventid="98"></okteventcomponent>

Will Fleury opens up about his beginnings and his journey as a fighter in this exclusive interview.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH FLEURY: LOVE ME OR HATE ME, YOU WON’T FORGET ME! 

The organization recently welcomed Brazilian sensation Igor Severino, a fighter whose arrival has stirred excitement across the MMA world. Boasting an impressive 8-1-0 record, Severino is stepping into the OKTAGON cage fresh off a stint in the UFC, where he earned his spot through the prestigious Dana White’s Contender Series.<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/b06a0e26-a7bd-4ddb-9fd5-30b2ae9f1b5d/cs.1734542060582.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/bb6155e6-0151-4a2b-80ea-e49248a31fc8/cs.1734542066268.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>THE CONTROVERSIAL LOSS THAT WENT VIRAL</h2>Severino has only tasted defeat once in his career—and it made headlines worldwide. His sole loss came in the UFC due to a disqualification for biting his opponent. But those days are behind him, and now he’s ready to sink his teeth into his competition in a whole new way.<h2>"THE SOONER, THE BETTER"</h2>When Severino signed with OKTAGON, he wasted no time expressing his readiness to fight. "The sooner, the better. I’ve heard there’s a tournament at the end of December, and I’ll be ready for it," he said confidently. True to his word, he’s set to make his debut on December 29. And that's not the only gift he’s unwrapping this holiday season.<h2>SHARK ON THE CHRISTMAS MENU</h2><oktfightcomponent fightid="1085"></oktfightcomponent>For the holidays, Severino has lined up a clash against none other than Jonas Mågård, a former bantamweight champion and the current top contender in the division. Mågård was quick to take notice of the UFC recruit and had a few choice words. "The Shark talks a lot online—let’s see if he can back it up in the cage," Mågård declared. Severino fired back, and now the two are set to meet in front of a packed O2 arena in Prague.Severino isn’t just here to make an appearance—he’s here to make history. "Get ready for an aggressive style, whether it’s striking or grappling. I never leave my fights to the judges, and I don’t plan to start now," he said. His track record backs it up: at just 21 years old, he’s finished all 8 of his wins before the final bell, evenly split between knockouts and submissions.<h2>FLEXIBLE AND FEARLESS: BRING ON THE CHALLENGES</h2>Weight classes? Not a problem for this Brazilian powerhouse. "I’m ready for anything. Most of my fights have been in flyweight, but I’m open to bantamweight—and I’ll start by taking out Jonas, since he talks so much," he teased. True to his word, his debut will be in the bantamweight division. But don’t be surprised if Severino makes waves in flyweight, too. Could OKTAGON be looking at its next double champion?MÅGÅRD VS.

OKTAGON 64 THROUGH THE EYES OF THE JUDGES: SCORECARDS FROM ALL FIGHTS

A fantastic crowning of the new Welter king, shocking stories in heavyweight fights, an unfortunate end for Poppeck, excellent performances by Holzer, Vespaziani, Cordero, and Duric, as well as surprises in the Aksu vs. Malach fight and a crucial victory for Dohnal.Check out the results of all the fights from the dramatic OKTAGON 64:<oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/f4d7814e-037c-482d-8b56-bbc8a2427bb2/cs.1733609580848.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a343924a-e042-4063-b5ff-66c958692312/cs.1733609587856.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TIPSPORT PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT: BRITO VS. SURDU</h2>Perhaps the craziest OKTAGON night in history couldn’t have had a better conclusion, leaving the audience with a much-improved mood after everything that had happened. Brito seemed dangerous—after all, he’s one of the most experienced fighters in the organization—but Surdu waited for his moment. With incredible precision and confidence, he finished his opponent with a phenomenal KO, landing a left high kick at 2:35. The Welterweight division has a new king, who also earned the Performance of the Night bonus. Dracula’s hard work has brought him to the top, and he even expressed interest in facing Eckerlin.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1075"></oktfightcomponent><h2>POPPECK VS. STRZELCZYK</h2>Another quick fight of the night, though certainly not in the way anyone would have hoped. Both fighters fired up the arena to the max, and we were expecting top-notch performances. But MMA is an unpredictable sport, as was proven several times tonight. Although Poppeck started strong in the first round, he suddenly threw an illegal knee, and instead of a heated bout, we got a No Contest after Strzelczyk understandably refused to continue. As Poppeck said, along with his apology to the home crowd—it happened.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1029"></oktfightcomponent><h2>HOLZER VS. BLACK-DELL</h2>The flawless Holzer keeps rolling, though credit must be given to Black-Dell for standing up to him courageously and even leaving him with a decent shiner under his eye in the first round. But from then on, the confident Holzer took over all three rounds, demonstrating exceptional maturity for his 22 years. Black-Dell defended himself bravely and with honor but couldn’t do anything against the overwhelming talent of the German superstar. Holzer knows the value of his 10th consecutive career victory and settled for a dominant decision win after missing a few finishing opportunities.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1084"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VESPAZIANI VS. HERZBERG</h2>The heavyweights certainly shook up the night, but in the cage, it came down to the debuting Vespaziani and his more experienced, curly-haired opponent. It started cautiously, with the first round being a grappling contest where Vespaziani focused on technical attempts. But in the second round, he decided enough engineering—he went after Herzberg with relentless strikes, leaving his stunned opponent no chance to recover. It took nearly three minutes before the referee decided Herzberg had taken enough. A dominant debut!<oktfightcomponent fightid="1068"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DEIGA-SCHECK VS. DOHNAL</h2>Neither of the experienced fighters wanted to leave it to the judges, who hadn’t been getting much work tonight. Still, Deiga-Scheck and Dohnal kept us on edge until the third round. The injured right knee of the Munich-trained Brazilian played a significant role, limiting his ability to execute big moves. Even Dohnal avoided targeting the barely functioning leg. Deiga-Scheck showcased his boxing skills, but Dohnal was ahead on points. After the second round, it was unclear whether the injured knee could withstand further action, but the final five minutes proceeded. Finally, Dohnal seized the moment with an excellent ground-and-pound sequence leading to a choke, earning him a crucial career win. An emotional Deiga-Scheck left one glove in the cage, hinting at his uncertain future and promising to undergo surgery soon.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1030"></oktfightcomponent><h2>CORDERO VS. TABURCEANU</h2>No slowing down here! Anyone who took a break during this fight made a mistake. Two renowned finishers didn’t disappoint, especially Cordero, who surprised with his technique, finishing his opponent in under a minute. Taburceanu thought he could surprise the renowned striker by taking him to the ground immediately, but Cordero wasted no time, capitalizing on his opponent’s poorly positioned arm to secure a kimura. Quick and furious—Cordero’s fourth unique finish in Germany!<oktfightcomponent fightid="1074"></oktfightcomponent><h2>AKSU VS. MALACH</h2>The pace kept rising with the third fight of the evening. The long-anticipated clash between Aksu and Malach had been delayed for quite some time, and Malach even celebrated yesterday’s staredown by launching confetti. But his enthusiasm quickly faded in the cage. Whether his game plan was overly ambitious or simply uncalculated, Malach’s tactics backfired right away. He overextended, giving up his back to Aksu, who secured dominance and eventually choked him out with a textbook Rear Naked Choke shortly after the three-minute mark of the first round.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1064"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BARTL VS. BRAJSHORI</h2>Done in under three minutes! Bartl brings home an important victory for the Czech Republic in the first round. While Brajshori has great passion for MMA, tonight he showed that he still has a lot to learn as Bartl’s experience overwhelmed him. Bartl started aggressively and, despite a brief stumble, demonstrated his grappling skills—Brajshori essentially walked into a triangle choke, and at 2:57, the winner was clear.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1044"></oktfightcomponent><h2>STANOVSKÝ VS. DURIC</h2>Both fighters lost their original opponents but stepped up against each other without hesitation. While Stanovský was a star at home in Brno, he struggled on hostile ground. Duric dominated both in striking and on the ground, easily fending off weak takedown attempts and landing powerful kicks and elbows. His overwhelming performance earned him an undisputed decision victory, keeping his record flawless at 6-0!<oktfightcomponent fightid="1046"></oktfightcomponent>

A night we won’t soon forget. OKTAGON in Munich delivered so many unexpected moments that the hearts of fans truly took a beating. Dive into the detailed results, fight by fight.

RESULTS OF OKTAGON 64: THE CRAZIEST TOURNAMENT IN HISTORY?!

It all kicks off tomorrow! The stacked card of Munich's OKTAGON 64 promises fantastic matchups, including two title fights. Let’s take a look at what’s in store.<okteventcomponent eventid="100"></okteventcomponent><h2>MOEIL VS. TODEV</h2>A spectacular heavyweight title fight promises one thing: an intense showdown that goes beyond the cage! These two have clashed over the belt once before, and it was dramatic—Moeil took a decision victory, but fans and Todev were left upset and protesting. Now, Todev has earned another shot at the belt, and their fiery staredown in Frankfurt guarantees a duel full of animosity. Ranked #73 in the world, Moeil has been undefeated for nearly 7 years with 11 consecutive wins. Todev, meanwhile, has been flawless since 2018, except for one loss—the very one he’s coming to Munich to avenge.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1028"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BRITO VS. SURDU</h2>The welterweight throne is vacant—who will claim it? Kaik Brito returns to OKTAGON after two years as its last champion. After his stunning victory over Kozma, ending his four-year reign as welterweight king, Brito set his sights on the UFC but is now back. With 17 wins, all finishes, and most in under two minutes, he’s a force to be reckoned with. Opposing him is the surging Dracula Surdu, who erased Kozma in front of a packed Eden Arena, earning a bonus and proving his top form. Who will become the new champion?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1075"></oktfightcomponent><h2>POPPECK VS. STRZELCZYK</h2>Everything has changed! But one thing is certain – the #2 light heavyweight Poppeck will have to defend his hometown of Munich despite a sudden change in opponent. Last time, he showed excellent form in his fight against Kimball; will he deliver another flawless performance? His new opponent is no stranger to last-minute changes – in 2022, he fought two bouts in two different organizations within 24 hours. He won both, even claiming a belt from a Polish organization in one of them. In OKTAGON, he has already faced some of the biggest names in the cage. Will he threaten Poppeck’s Munich pride?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1029"></oktfightcomponent><h2>HOLZER VS. BLACK-DELL</h2>Mention Max Holzer, and fans immediately smile! The charismatic fighter entered OKTAGON undefeated and has defended that record three times, with a flawless 9-0, including 8 wins by finish. His precise performance follows his show-stopping entrances, making him one of Germany's brightest talents. Enter Eugen Black-Dell, a former champion in a German organization, making his OKTAGON debut in style. Will he hand Holzer his first career loss?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1084"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VESPAZIANI VS. HERZBERG</h2>Towering at two meters tall, Patrick Vespaziani makes his OKTAGON debut, aiming to shake up the heavyweight division. But it won’t be easy—Herzberg hasn’t lost a fight in nearly six years and is determined to keep that streak alive. This matchup could introduce a new contender to an already dramatic division.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1068"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DEIGA-SCHECK VS. DOHNAL</h2>Deiga-Scheck joined OKTAGON almost by accident, but his exit will be anything but—especially since he’s fighting in his hometown, representing Munich Top Team. Armed with Muay Thai and K-1 titles, a black belt in BJJ, and a submission specialist reputation, he’s a dangerous opponent. On the other hand, Jakub Dohnal doesn’t shy away from seasoned adversaries, as proven in his epic clash with Buchinger. With over 250 fights across six disciplines and nearly a decade as an MMA pro, can he handle the pressure of a hostile crowd?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1030"></oktfightcomponent><h2>CORDERO VS. TABURCEANU</h2>Don’t blink—two lightning-fast finishers are entering the cage! Cordero made his mark in OKTAGON with stoppages at 22, 37, and 67 seconds, showing that he wastes no time. Facing him is Moldovan phenomenon Taburceanu, who has never won by decision. With a trail of fallen opponents, this fight will determine who’s one of the organization’s most feared finishers.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1074"></oktfightcomponent><h2>AKSU VS. MALACH</h2>Aksu knows how victory tastes—he’s a two-time champion in Austrian organizations with all 11 wins by finish. Now, he’s set his sights on OKTAGON veteran Jan Malach, the "King of the North," who trains under Reinders MMA and brings over 30 MMA fights and 80 kickboxing bouts to the table.<oktfightcomponent fightid="1064"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BARTL VS. BRAJSHORI</h2>Bartl knows the OKTAGON cage like the back of his hand, having faced names like Kozma, Malach, and Ryšavý, with 10 out of 12 wins coming by finish. Meanwhile, Brajshori offers a fresh perspective—an incredibly dedicated fighter whose passion for MMA is evident in his performances, including stoppages at 22 and 29 seconds. Will experience or raw determination prevail?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1044"></oktfightcomponent><h2>STANOVSKÝ VS. DURIC</h2>With both fighters losing their original opponents, they’ve been paired up for an unexpected clash. Jan Stanovský made an impressive debut in Brno and now faces a trial by fire, as the Munich crowd will likely side with his opponent. That opponent, Duric, has flawless stats: 6 fights, 6 wins, 5 finishes. Can the Czech contender withstand the pressure?<oktfightcomponent fightid="1046"></oktfightcomponent>Don’t miss OKTAGON 64 this Saturday! MOEIL vs. TODEV, SURDU vs. BRITO, and much more!
