Napínavé zápasy, překvapivé výsledky a řada velkých oznámení. Kromě připravovaného turnaje OKTAGON 61 v Brně jsme potvrdili i největší zápas v historii německého MMA a přivítali superstar Maxe Cogu, naopak s kariérou se přišla rozloučit legenda Stephan Pütz. K tomu infarktový zápas Tipsport Gamechangeru, neuvěřitelný výkon Palo Langera nebo vycházející hvězda Holzer. Jdeme na to!&nbsp;</p><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6j6zvIMjjw/?hl=en"></oktinstagramcomponent><p><br><strong>ECKERLIN vs. BROŽ&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Večeru dominovala pořádně krvavá bitva. První kolo šlo na stranu Eckerlina, ale jak víme, to Brožovi často sedí. Tentokrát ale ne – Eckerlinova přední postupně chirurgicky ničila Brožův obličej. Brož i tak Eckerlina dál hrdě vybízel k tvrdé akci. Frankfurtský král ho poslal až na zem, kde Brože ukončil v čase 4:49 druhého kola. Po zápase si oba projevili obrovský respekt a Eckerlin vyzval rozbouřenou frankfurtskou halu k potlesku pro soupeře, pro něhož to byl pravděpodobně jeden z úplně posledních zápasů kariéry.&nbsp;</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="886"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6kEzrkImmf/?hl=en"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p><strong>BOMBA NA ZÁVĚR:</strong> Eckerlin se utká s Jungwirthem na fotbalovém stadionu, kde to oba znají z dob, kdy hráli vysokou fotbalovou ligu. Tentokrát se nebude kopat do míče, ale před zraky 55 tisíců diváků se rozhodne o králi německého MMA. Stuttgart vs. Frankfurt, dvě největší jména na sousední scéně – buď u toho taky a nezapomeň si včas sehnat svoje vstupenky!</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6kDDksMCpH/?hl=en"></oktinstagramcomponent><p><strong>KEITA vs. SARDARI</strong></p><p>Odložené první kolo Tipsport Gamechangeru přineslo několik infarktových situací a zejména potvrzení, že kurz, podle kterého vypadal Sardari jako absolutní outsider, byl naprosto mimo. My jsme dobře věděli, že Sardari, stejně jako všichni účastníci milionové pyramidy, je na vysoké úrovni. Keita převzal vedení v prvních dvou kolech, ve 3. kole se ale zvýšil tep všem zúčastněným. Keita inkasoval tvrdou sérii a zavrávoval, následně si ho Sardari připravil na škrcení a chybělo málo. A pak znovu. Asi nejdelší dvě minuty v životě obou protivníků zakončily série vzájemně uštědřených tvrdých ran, kdy nebylo jisté vůbec nic. Bylo to těsné, ale Keita nakonec svou výhru 2:1 na body ustál. Ale takhle jsme ho ještě neviděli! Keita každopádně velice zaslouženě putuje do dalšího kola k Bogdanovićovi a my doufáme, že to tvoje srdce zvládlo!&nbsp;</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="889"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6kAOOusR_p/?hl=en&nbsp;"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p><strong>TIPSPORT VÝKON VEČERA: LANGER vs. DOUSSIS&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Pohádka pokračuje! Nebo spíš zombie drama? Langer otevřel zápas pěkným kopem, po něm ale následovala šílená smršť boxu od Doussise. Palo začal vypadat, že toho má tak trochu dost, ale nadále odolával gravitaci. Doussis ale nepřestával a do Langera šil tvrdě dál. Najednou ale přišlo Langerovo typické zmrtvýchvstání, které už německým divákům předvedl několikrát. V čase 4:06 stačilo jedno vynikající koleno a Doussis šel k zemi, kde ho Langer ukončil definitivně. Nechybělo ale vzdání úcty soupeři, legrační rozhovor a dokonce byl i oslavný taneček! A bonus k tomu.</p><p></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="936"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6j80m0sYZg/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6j7XVhMa1n/?hl=en"></oktinstagramcomponent><p><br><strong>SANIKIDZE vs. NEZHAD</strong></p><p>Takhle si asi bývalý dvojnásobný šampion Sanikidze start v nové váhové divizi nepředstavoval. Někdy prostě platí, že trpělivost přináší růže, v tomhle případě odmakanou výhru na body. Nezhad vítězil od prvního kola a zvládl udržet si vedení ve všech třech kolech bez výjimky. Nezastavilo ho ani silné krvácení, které přišlo ke konci zápasu. Našel tak funkční způsob, jak Sanikidzeho kontrolovat a je vůbec prvním, komu se to v OKTAGONU povedlo.</p><p></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="909"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>GLISMANN vs. SIWIEC&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Dámy a pánové, to byla vysoká škola grapplingu. Dva nesmírně zajímaví loňští účastníci Tipsport Gamechangeru, to slibovalo skvělou podívanou – a tu také doručili. Od začátku fyzicky extrémně náročný zápas, který se rozjel tak šíleně, že ho šlo obtížně i komentovat. A Siwiec dal Glismannovi pořádně zabrat. Další kolo bylo vyrovnané a 3. kolo vše rozseklo – Glismann už jasně dominoval a polský soupeř byl vyčerpaný. Pánové předvedli úplnou učebnici všemožných technik a kliček jako na kurzu grapplingu. Výhra na body nakonec putovala ke Glismannovi, který byl vytrvalejší a silnější.&nbsp;</p><p></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="937"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6jyrYbMOXZ/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p><strong>KOHOUT vs. KHAPILAEV&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Opakování je evidentně opravdu matka moudrosti: nedej na první kola! Tady ho ovládl jednoznačně Khapilaev, ale pak už se vše odvíjelo jinak. Po 2. kole to bylo nerozhodně a to poslední otočil Matouš Kohout ve svůj prospěch, když dominoval na pletivu i v postoji. Účastník letošního Tipsport Gamechangeru předvedl velmi vyspělý výkon a odnesl si 10. výhru v kariéře – navíc na short notice.&nbsp;</p><p></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="947"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6jxW22MA_R/?hl=en"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p><strong>HOLZER vs. KURHELA&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Je to oficiální: na tohohle týpka si musí celá featherweight dávat pěkný pozor. Řeč je o Holzerovi, který potvrdil pozici vycházející hvězdy. V nádherném zápase ale nešlo o žádnou brnkačku bez práce, naopak. Soupeř Kurhela ukázal, že rozhodně není žádnou snadnou potravou. Oba borci nasadili naprosto šílené tempo od 1. kola, které šlo bodově Holzerovi. Ten diváky tentokrát nenechal čekat na bodové rozhodčí a dramatickou situaci ukončil ve 2. kole na Rear Naked Choke. Kurhela? Velký respekt a vynikající výkon. A Holzer? Fuu, asi je tu nová superstar a jak naznačil Ondřej Novotný, mohl by se podívat i na fotbalový stadion.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="938"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6jrf4pMsMG/?hl=en"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p><strong>ADAMIA vs. BRČIĆ&nbsp;</strong></p><p>A další zápas, ve kterém se karty otočily. Zatímco 1. kolo dle rozhodčích lépe kontroloval Brčić, v další dvou kolech dokázal Adamia převzít nadvládu díky kvalitnímu wrestlingu. Filmovou scénu vystřihl Brčić ve 3. kole, ve kterém se jakoby zázrakem postavil na nohy a pustil se do boje, ale už to nepomohlo. Těsně, ale Adamia si odnáší vítězství na split decision.&nbsp;</p><p></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="911"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6jnE7osZIo/?hl=en&nbsp;"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p><strong>MARTIN vs. BEKUS&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Martin jasně potvrdila své kvality, které OKTAGONU ukázala už v prosincové O2 areně. Už 1. kolo si vzala spíše na svou stranu a zbylá dvě kola svou dominanci bez jakýchkoliv pochyb potvrdila. Bekus dala nejvíce ochutnat její vlastní medicínu, hlavní roli totiž hrála výborná přední a zadní. Výhra 3:0 a my se těšíme, co nás s Martin čeká dál!</p><p></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="942"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6jn5tpsWRc/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1&nbsp;"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p><strong>BRAJSHORI vs. ODUNJO</strong></p><p>Zápas, o který Frankfurt už jednou přišel, byl konečně doručen. A že to stálo za to! Takovou vyrovnanou hru jsme tu dlouho neměli. V 1. kole jednoznačně dominoval Odunjo, ve 2. kole dorovnal Brajshori a nebylo tak do poslední chvíle jasné, jak tohle dopadne. Nepomohlo tomu ani těsné třetí kolo, po kterém nezbylo nic jiného, než tohle přenechat odborníkům. Oba soupeři zvedali v naději ruce nad hlavu, radovat se ale nakonec mohl Brajshori.</p><p></p><oktfightcomponent fightid="900"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6jg8ZIM_ic/?hl=en&nbsp;"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p><strong>PROJEKT Y: SANDRA VS.

VELKÉ NOVINKY, INFARKTOVÉ SOUBOJE I NESMRTELNÝ LANGER: VÝSLEDKY TURNAJE OKTAGON 57

<p>Düsseldorf witnessed a historic event that delivered the climax of the Tipsport Gamechanger project, a series of lightning-fast finishes, and several extremely close battles. OKTAGON 82 was a night where stories were written—and the judges definitely did not stay on the sidelines.

Krzysztof Jotko confirmed his reputation as a top-level strategist, took Kerim Engizek to the ground and submitted him with a rear-naked choke in the first round. After almost eleven years, Engizek finally found his conqueror, and Jotko became the winner of the million-euro pyramid.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1295" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>GJONI PALOKAJ vs. JAMES HENDIN</h2><p>The battle for a potential featherweight title contender delivered a clash of styles. James Hendin tried to tie the fight up and bring it to the ground, but Palokaj systematically shut down his attempts. Excellent takedown defense, sharper striking, and two knockdowns played a key role. After three rounds, the judges were unanimous—a clear win for Gjoni Palokaj, who secured his eighth straight victory and confirmed he belongs among the absolute elite of the division.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1320" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>DENIZ ILBAY vs. KAROL RYŠAVÝ</h2><p>There was nothing to count here.

An armbar just before the end of the round meant the judges once again had no work to do.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1362" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>DAVID ZAWADA vs. DANIEL LIGOCKI</h2><p>Here, the judges played a crucial role. Ligocki was more aggressive early, landing hard combinations and rocking Zawada several times. The German veteran, however, survived the critical moments, managed to turn the fight in his favor during key exchanges, and gradually evened the score. After three rounds of an extremely close contest, the judges awarded a split decision victory to David Zawada.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1364" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>PRELIMS - SAMUEL BARK vs. ZAFAR MOHSEN</h2><p>A technical grappling duel in which Zafar Mohsen appeared more active from top positions and dictated the pace more often. Bark managed to escape dangerous situations, but control and initiative played the decisive role in the scoring. After three rounds, Mohsen won by decision and recorded a very solid organizational debut.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1357" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>MAREK BARTL vs. KAMIL ONISZCZUK</h2><p>Bartl once again entertained with his creativity on the feet, but Oniszczuk managed the distance well and took the fight to the ground in the second round.

All three judges agreed on a unanimous decision victory for Šebek.</p><oktscorecardfightcomponent fightid="1318" smallerversion="true"></oktscorecardfightcomponent><h2>ARIAN SADIKOVIĆ vs. JIXIE MOLAPO</h2><p>A cautious opening gave way to Sadiković’s pressure, as he took control in the second round and finished the fight by TKO.

Düsseldorf witnessed a historic event that delivered the climax of the Tipsport Gamechanger project, a series of lightning-fast finishes, and several extremely close battles. OKTAGON 82 was a night where stories were written—and the judges definitely did not stay on the sidelines. 

OKTAGON 82 SCORECARDS: PALOKAJ CONFIRMED HIS FORM, ZAWADA SURVIVED A WAR, AND ŠEBEK SHINED IN HIS DEBUT

<p>Krzysztof Jotko has become the winner of the third and final season of the million-euro Tipsport Gamechanger pyramid. In the final, he submitted Kerim Engizek in the very first round with a rear-naked choke. Along with the prestigious trophy, Jotko also took home a €300,000 cheque. The Turkish OKTAGON middleweight champion suffered his first defeat on home soil in Düsseldorf after nearly 11 years.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/1f25835b-f4ba-4557-a393-fff11d18a343/cs.1768690965423.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/748d7761-26e5-4c8b-a293-d82d02844057/cs.1768690973456.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>KERIM ENGIZEK vs. KRZYSZTOF JOTKO</h2><p>Krzysztof Jotko is the third winner of the million-euro Tipsport Gamechanger! The Polish veteran confirmed his experience and class by finishing the previously unbeaten Engizek in the opening round. The fight began cautiously on both sides, but once the opportunity appeared, Jotko did not hesitate. He took the champion to the ground, locked in a rear-naked choke, and forced Engizek to tap. The highly anticipated clash between two middleweights ranked inside the global top 50 ended decisively in favor of Krzysztof Jotko. Congratulations to the winner, and respect to all fighters who took part in the pyramid.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1295"></oktfightcomponent><h2>GJONI PALOKAJ vs. JAMES HENDIN</h2><p>The battle for a potential featherweight title contender went in favor of Gjoni Palokaj. The Albanian fighter extended his winning streak to an incredible eight consecutive victories. James Hendin attempted to slow the fight down and take it to the ground, but Palokaj was perfectly prepared and defended every attempt. He also landed several heavy shots and knocked Hendin down twice. The bout went the distance, with the judges awarding a unanimous decision to Palokaj, who now firmly enters the title conversation.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1320"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DENIZ ILBAY vs. KAROL RYŠAVÝ</h2><p>Karol Ryšavý secured victory in the very first round. The clash of styles favored the Slovak fighter. After early exchanges on the feet, Ilbay attempted to take the fight to the ground, but Ryšavý capitalized immediately and locked in a guillotine choke. Ilbay was forced to tap, and Ryšavý claimed a highly valuable scalp that launches him back into the featherweight top 10.</p><h2>TAMERLAN DULATOV vs. STEFAN KONČAR</h2><p>The highly anticipated showdown between two young prospects ended at the close of the first round. Tamerlan Dulatov stormed into the fight aggressively, immediately overwhelming Končar with strikes. Končar refused to go down easily and survived the early onslaught. Dulatov then switched tactics, relying on his elite grappling. Just seconds before the round ended, he locked in an armbar, forcing the young Serbian to submit. Who will Dulatov face next?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1362"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MARC DOUSSIS vs. YEVHENII ORLOV</h2><p>Unfortunately, due to an injury suffered by Doussis shortly before the fight, the heavyweight clash did not take place.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1321"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DAVID ZAWADA vs. DANIEL LIGOCKI</h2><p>The Tipsport Gamechanger reserve bout delivered an absolutely phenomenal war. Both fighters entered with the clear intent to finish, and both came close to victory. In the first round, Ligocki unleashed powerful combinations and repeatedly rocked Zawada. The German veteran survived the toughest moments through sheer willpower. Late in the round, Zawada dropped Ligocki, who also managed to survive a critical moment. The fight swung back and forth throughout, with the outcome uncertain until the very end. After three rounds of chaos, David “Zako” Zawada earned a split-decision victory.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1364"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: OKTAGON 85 TO BE BROADCAST ON RTL IN FREE TV</h2><p>During the event, a major announcement was also made regarding the upcoming OKTAGON 85 tournament in Hamburg. German television channel RTL will broadcast the event from 11:00 PM on the free-to-air RTL channel. OKTAGON will thus once again make its way into the living rooms of the general public. </p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DToDCHODCUf/?hl=cs"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>PRELIMS</h2><h2>SAMUEL BARK vs. ZAFAR MOHSEN</h2><p>Zafar Mohsen entered his OKTAGON debut with a clear plan—to take Bark to the ground and draw him into deep grappling waters. The Swedish fighter was well prepared and consistently escaped dangerous positions. As the fight progressed, Bark began to seize momentum and threaten with submissions of his own. Ultimately, however, it was not enough, and after three close rounds, Mohsen earned a decision victory. The featherweight division has gained another dangerous contender.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1357"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MAREK BARTL vs. KAMIL ONISZCZUK</h2><p>Marek Bartl continues to entertain. In the first round, he once again attempted spinning elbows and added several kicks, but without success. Kamil Oniszczuk made good use of his height advantage and kept his distance. In the second round, he took Bartl down, secured an armbar, and Bartl was unable to escape. Oniszczuk claimed a crucial second-round submission victory.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1344"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TOMÁŠ CIGÁNIK vs. MAURICE ADORF</h2><p>Maurice Adorf entered OKTAGON with high ambitions and big expectations, but was greeted by Slovak warrior Tomáš Cigánik. It was a brutal welcome—Cigánik secured a rear-naked choke submission in the first round. The Slovak fighter continues to show major progress, which he confirmed in Düsseldorf. A very unfortunate debut for Adorf.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1335"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ALTIN ZENUNI vs. MURAT TÜYSÜZ</h2><p>The clash between young talent Zenuni and debutant Tüysüz delivered a grappling-heavy battle dominated by Zenuni. Like Šebek earlier, the Albanian prospect relied on his ground game—and it paid off. In the second round, he unleashed heavy ground-and-pound, forcing the referee to stop the fight. Zenuni remains undefeated and ready for the next challenge.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1342"></oktfightcomponent><h2>EMIR-CAN AL vs. PATRIK ŠEBEK</h2><p>An excellent debut from the young Slovak fighter. Šebek knew his best chance was on the ground and came close to finishing via rear-naked choke in all three rounds. The thrilling contest went to the judges, who unanimously awarded the victory to Šebek after a mature and composed performance.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1318"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ARIAN SADIKOVIĆ vs. JIXIE MOLAPO</h2><p>Arian “Game Over” Sadiković lived up to his nickname, securing a TKO victory in the second round.

As time passed, Sadiković began to take control and eventually earned the stoppage in round two.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1354"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>OKTAGON 82 delivered a stacked card full of unexpected twists and surprises.

OKTAGON 82 RESULTS: JOTKO CROWNED TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER CHAMPION 

<p>The PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf will host a spectacular finale. OKTAGON 82 will deliver the climax of the third and final season of the Tipsport Gamechanger project, key ranking matchups, and clashes of talents we will be hearing a lot about in the future. The million-euro pyramid is missing its final piece—and the night promises emotion, drama, and fights that could rewrite the organization’s history. Here is the complete fight-by-fight overview.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/213cad28-1cd7-4a1b-b39c-aa2e6d185a07/cs.1768651180603.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/43a3eb3a-f1aa-42c5-a24d-59c96568f020/cs.1768651189917.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>KERIM ENGIZEK vs. KRZYSZTOF JOTKO</h2><p>The European MMA Champions League has its final. The unbeaten middleweight champion Kerim Engizek stands one step away from immortality and a €300,000 payday. He has not tasted defeat for almost 11 years and has marched through the tournament with the authority of a true king—handling a last-minute opponent change, surgically dismantling Stanton, and surviving a memorable semifinal war with Humburger.</p><p> Across from him stands a man who cannot be underestimated. Krzysztof Jotko, a UFC veteran and American Top Team representative, embodies strategy and composure. He reached the final by overcoming Surdu, Mazúch, and Khajevand—finding the right key every time. Now he will try to solve the riddle no one has answered for nearly eleven years. A final worthy of the Tipsport Gamechanger project.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1295"></oktfightcomponent><h2>GJONI PALOKAJ vs. JAMES HENDIN</h2><p>Hometown favorite Gjoni Palokaj remains perfect in OKTAGON. Five fights, five wins, and a #5 ranking. Fight after fight, he proves he belongs among Europe’s absolute elite and now stands on the doorstep of a title shot. The only thing missing so far is a finish—and that’s exactly what he wants to change.</p><p>Standing in his way is the British “Honey Badger” James Hendin, a ground-fighting specialist and former Cage Warriors title challenger. Four submissions, ten wins, and a clear ambition: to become the first man to defeat Palokaj in OKTAGON.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1320"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DENIZ ILBAY vs. KAROL RYŠAVÝ</h2><p>Deniz Ilbay enters every fight with a single goal—knockout. Six of his eight wins came by KO, and whenever he finds space, a finish is in the air. He is steadily pushing toward the top of the division, and another scalp could catapult him into the elite. Karol Ryšavý, the winner of the third season of OKTAGON Challenge, knows the recipe for dealing with heavy hands. His guillotine has already surprised more than one big name, and submissions may be the key to victory here.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1332"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TAMERLAN DULATOV vs. STEFAN KONČAR</h2><p>Two hungry young guns with no reverse gear. Fan favorite Tamerlan Dulatov and Stefan Končar will deliver a dynamic duel full of pace, aggression, and a desire to shine. Exactly the kind of fight where a new star can be born. Neither has tasted defeat, and both have finished all of their wins inside the distance. Whose streak will end?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1362"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MARC DOUSSIS vs. YEVHENII ORLOV</h2><p>Marc Doussis guarantees excitement—nine wins, nine finishes. Now comes a serious stress test in the form of Yevhenii Orlov. The Olympic wrestler rides an eight-fight winning streak with a 100% finish rate. Orlov has fallen only once—against Martin Buday. Everyone else he has bulldozed. Can Doussis find the answer, or will another heavyweight steamroller get rolling?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1321"></oktfightcomponent><h2>DAVID ZAWADA vs. DANIEL LIGOCKI</h2><p>Experienced veteran David Zawada returns to the cage to test Czech fighter Daniel Ligocki. A clash where years of experience meet hungry ambition, and where the winner will be the one who imposes his style. Both want to get back on the winning track. Zawada will enjoy the home-crowd advantage, while Ligocki senses an opportunity to send a famous veteran into retirement.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1364"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><h2>PRELIMS</h2><h2>SAMUEL BARK vs. ZAFAR MOHSEN</h2><p>Samuel Bark is a remarkable phenomenon. A former successful Muay Thai fighter, he is now climbing toward the absolute elite in MMA as well. He is currently on a five-fight winning streak and showed against Sanikidze that he is ready to measure himself against the best. The Swede has cracked the global top 100 and is knocking firmly on the door of the OKTAGON featherweight TOP 5. Across from him, however, stands a man who punishes every mistake. Zafar Mohsen is a proven name on the German scene, known for winning the GCP title and for battles with elite names such as Niko Samsoidze and Max Coga.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1357"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MAREK BARTL vs. KAMIL ONISZCZUK</h2><p>The slayer of German fighters is back. After a viral spinning elbow and three straight wins, Marek Bartl faces dangerous Pole Kamil Oniszczuk. A victory could bring him closer to the middleweight TOP 10. Oniszczuk, however, will be anything but easy. In the past, he surprised even champion Engizek, losing only by a close decision. Will Bartl pass this tough test?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1344"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TOMÁŠ CIGÁNIK vs. MAURICE ADORF</h2><p>Tomáš Cigánik welcomes an OKTAGON debutant. He has already recorded a successful campaign on German soil and now looks to build on his win over Halimsson against Maurice Adorf. A major prospect of the German scene, Adorf has six wins, including two brutal knockouts. He enters OKTAGON with a clear goal—to shine on the prestigious stage and defend his reputation as a major European hope.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1335"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ALTIN ZENUNI vs. MURAT TÜYSÜZ</h2><p>Altin Zenuni is among the biggest talents on the German scene. The Albanian fighter has already beaten Balász and Máša in OKTAGON and now faces the biggest challenge of his career. His opponent Murat Tüysüz enters OKTAGON undefeated at 5–0 with big ambitions. The Turkish striker draws from K–1 experience and is especially dangerous on the feet. Zenuni, however, represents the new generation of well-rounded MMA fighters and may drag Tüysüz into deep grappling waters.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1342"></oktfightcomponent><h2>EMIR-CAN AL vs. PATRIK ŠEBEK</h2><p>The “Turkish Bull” Emir-Can Al, known as a slayer of Slovak talents, faces debuting Patrik Šebek. Al has scalps of names like Tomáš Otava and Viktor Kováč. Šebek may have fewer professional fights, but his amateur run was rich with experience. The Slovak holds a 2–0 pro record and now wants to add the most valuable win of his career in the yellow-and-black cage.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1318"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ARIAN SADIKOVIĆ vs. JIXIE MOLAPO</h2><p>Arian “Game Over” Sadiković is among the hardest hitters ever to step into the OKTAGON cage. The former kickboxer carries grenades in his hands and finished his MMA debut in the first round. But will that be enough against Czech multisport athlete Jixie Molapo? Molapo comes from a rugby background, reflected in his explosiveness. Even as an amateur, he was finishing opponents early and handled his OKTAGON debut excellently. This time, however, he faces a more experienced and harder-hitting opponent.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1354"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>The final fight of the million-euro Tipsport Gamechanger project is here. And the finale could not be bigger: a champion unbeaten for nearly 11 years against the most experienced fighter the organization has ever had. Engizek vs. Jotko.

The PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf will host a spectacular finale. OKTAGON 82 will deliver the climax of the third and final season of the Tipsport Gamechanger project, key ranking matchups, and clashes of talents we will be hearing a lot about in the future.

OKTAGON 82 FIGHT BY FIGHT: DÜSSELDORF WILL CROWN THE KING OF THE MILLION-EURO PYRAMID

<p>OKTAGON will kick off 2026 in grand style. The first event of the new year will take place this <strong>Saturday, January 17, in Düsseldorf</strong>. We will witness the conclusion of the million-euro <strong>Tipsport Gamechanger</strong> pyramid, fights at the very top of the featherweight division, and young talents in action on Europe’s most prestigious MMA stage. Read through selected facts about the Düsseldorf card and be in the know—whether you’re watching the event live in the arena or from the comfort of your couch at home.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/09e4d94b-6bd7-4dcf-be4b-2fd628c12984/cs.1768400967812.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/cbd73dff-9a37-4479-b518-4ee6f8176e98/cs.1768400971927.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>IMPRESSIVE WINNING STREAKS</h2><p>Several fighters competing in Düsseldorf boast outstanding winning streaks. The most dominant of them all is OKTAGON champion <strong>Kerim Engizek</strong>. He <strong>has not lost for nearly 11 years</strong> and is riding an incredible <strong>17-fight winning streak!</strong> In OKTAGON alone, he has already completed six bouts, and now the toughest challenge of his career awaits him. The Tipsport Gamechanger final against <strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong> will be an elite clash of two fighters of the highest world-class caliber. <strong>Both rank among the TOP 50 middleweights in the world</strong> according to Fightmatrix. Now it will be decided who takes home the million-euro prize and confirms their legacy as the king of Europe.</p><p>Engizek is far from the only fighter who has not tasted defeat in a long time. <strong>Gjoni Palokaj</strong> is also on a very impressive run. The German fighter with Albanian roots is riding a seven-fight winning streak. <strong>He has not lost for a full 1,176 days</strong>—more than three years! In OKTAGON, he holds a <strong>perfect 5–0 record</strong> and is relentlessly climbing toward the very top of the division. The current <strong>#5 featherweight</strong>, however, is still waiting for his first finish in the organization. All of his wins in the yellow-and-black cage have gone to the judges. That is something he wants to change in Düsseldorf—but standing in his way will be British talent <strong>James Hendin</strong>.</p><p>Last but not least, we must mention the returning <strong>Yevhenii Orlov</strong>. The Ukrainian heavyweight is coming back to OKTAGON after a long six years, aiming to redeem his only career loss against Martin Buday. Orlov holds an <strong>overall record of 9–1</strong>, with as many as <strong>eight of his fights ending in the first round! </strong>He is currently on an eight-fight winning streak. However, his last bout took place in November 2023, so it remains a big question in what shape he will return. He will be tested by experienced German striker <strong>Marc Doussis</strong>, who will have the advantage of fighting in front of his home crowd.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DTfN3oZDO2v/?hl=cs&amp;img_index=1"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>YOUTH ON THE RISE!</h2><p>The Düsseldorf card also features several young prospects with the highest ambitions, now given the opportunity to showcase themselves on Europe’s most prestigious MMA stage.</p><p>The most well-known among them is <strong>Tamerlan Dulatov</strong>. A member of a famous fighting family, he decided after a successful introduction last year to accept the challenge of the Balkan butcher <strong>Stefan “The Butcher” Končar</strong>. Both fighters are undefeated in professional MMA. <strong>Both have finished all of their fights inside the distance</strong>, and both are more than determined to prove they are better than their opponent. For Končar, this will be a demanding debut on his opponent’s home soil; for Tamerlan, it is the <strong>toughest test of his career</strong>—one that could move him closer to the welterweight elite.</p><p><strong>Altin Zenuni</strong> is another major discovery of last year. The just <strong>20-year-old</strong> Albanian fighter turned professional last year—straight into OKTAGON. A <strong>multiple-time amateur champion </strong>and product of the prestigious UFD Gym, he recorded two dominant wins. First, he defeated Slovakia’s Tibor Balász, and then he overcame Czech fan favorite Marcel Máša. Now he faces a bout with the more experienced <strong>Murat Tüysüz</strong>, who enters OKTAGON with a <strong>5–0 record and a 100% finish rate!</strong> Will young Zenuni be able to handle this challenge?</p><p>Making his organizational debut will be Slovak talent <strong>Patrik Šebek</strong>. He turned professional in May of last year and has since earned two wins—both by rear-naked choke. Šebek has an extensive amateur background, with victories over names such as Eliáš and Otava. Now he feels ready to step into the OKTAGON spotlight. In Düsseldorf, he will face a tough test in the form of<strong> Emir-Can Al</strong>.</p><h2>CLASHES OF GENERATIONS AND STYLES</h2><p>OKTAGON 82 will feature several matchups that bring fascinating clashes of styles, generations, and experience. For example, <strong>David Zawada</strong> has four times as many fights on his record as his Czech opponent <strong>Daniel Ligocki</strong>. The bout between <strong>Deniz Ilbay</strong> and <strong>Karol Ryšavý</strong> will offer a stylistic contrast—on one side, a Slovak MMA veteran relying on his all-around skill set and experience; on the other, a successful striker who has been competing in professional MMA for just four years.</p><p><strong>Tomáš Cigánik</strong> has earned half of his wins by submission, but his opponent <strong>Maurice Adorf</strong> has never lost by submission. Will the Slovak manage to break this statistic?</p><p>Another battle at the top of the featherweight division will be delivered by <strong>Samuel Bark</strong> vs. <strong>Zafar Mohsen</strong>. The Swedish fighter last appeared in Brno, where he finished former champion Sanikidze by submission in the third round. Zafar Mohsen brings experience from organizations such as PFL and BRAVE and is extremely excited about his OKTAGON debut. However, Bark will certainly not be an easy first test.</p><p><strong>All this and much more awaits you this Saturday, January 17! OKTAGON 82 will launch the new OKTAGON season—and it will be a start worthy of the name. A stacked card, the Tipsport Gamechanger final, and emotions that will shake the entire city. And you have the chance to watch it all live! Get our PPV and make sure you don’t miss a thing.

OKTAGON will kick off 2026 in grand style. The first event of the new year will take place this Saturday, January 17, in Düsseldorf. We will witness the conclusion of the million-euro Tipsport Gamechanger pyramid, fights at the very top of the featherweight division.

INTERESTING STATS OF OKTAGON 82: WHAT DID YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT THE FIRST EVENT OF 2026?

<p>The Tipsport Gamechanger project has reached its absolute finale. At OKTAGON 82 in Düsseldorf, two exceptional figures of European MMA will collide – middleweight champion Kerim Engizek and elite Polish veteran Krzysztof Jotko. At stake is not only €300,000, but also the prestige of the biggest MMA tournament in Europe.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/624e5d30-a21f-4c0b-8347-7030c73ce5ee/cs.1768302088717.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/93f70526-2644-41e3-87b7-67da019731d8/cs.1768302094798.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>KERIM ENGIZEK: AN UNDEFEATED CHAMPION FOR OVER 10 YEARS</h2><p><strong>Kerim Engizek</strong> is among the most dominant fighters OKTAGON has ever presented. He enters the Tipsport Gamechanger final as a man who has <strong>not lost for almost 11 years</strong>. His last defeat came in 2014, and since April 2015 he has been winning non-stop for <strong>3,927 days</strong>. With a record of 24–4 and a <strong>#43 ranking in the global Fightmatrix standings</strong>, he belongs to the absolute European elite.</p><p>Engizek is the OKTAGON middleweight champion and the first fighter in history to defeat Patrik Kincl. On his road to the throne he beat elite opponents, toppled champions, broke winning streaks and built a reputation as an impenetrable fortress. He <strong>has never been finished by KO or TKO</strong> – anyone who wants to beat him must outfight him technically and mentally for the entire duration.</p><p>And now comes another key factor: home soil. The Gamechanger final will take place in Düsseldorf – in front of a crowd that loves Engizek. With more than <strong>385,000 Instagram followers</strong>, he is one of the organization’s biggest stars, and the arena can be expected to erupt. For Kerim, this is not just a fight for money. It is the confirmation of his legacy.</p><h2>KRZYSZTOF JOTKO: AN ELITE VETERAN WHO DOES NOT LOSE IN EUROPE</h2><p>Standing across from him is a man who is not used to stumbling – <strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong>. The Polish strategist with a professional record of <strong>28–6</strong> is <strong>one of the most experienced fighters</strong> ever to step into OKTAGON. <strong>In the Fightmatrix global rankings he sits at No. 39</strong>, making him the third-highest ranked fighter across the entire organization.</p><p>Jotko entered OKTAGON with one goal: to win the entire pyramid and<strong> become a millionaire</strong>. And so far, he has been flawless. He first defeated Ion Surdu, then Marek Mazúch, and in the semifinals he dealt with Hojat Khajevand. Jotko showed that <strong>his wrestling and strategy are on another level</strong>. Against Surdu in particular, he proved he can take down even a champion and control the fight where it matters most.</p><p>He brings with him years in the UFC, bouts with names such as Scott Askham, David Zawada, Bojan Veličković, and Will Fleury. He has earned a UFC Performance of the Night bonus and became a champion in Germany. And one statistic is especially frightening: he has never lost in Europe.</p><p>Jotko is calm, methodical, and extremely intelligent. He does not win through chaos, but through control. And that is exactly what he will look to use in Düsseldorf – to cool down the home arena and take away Engizek’s greatest weapon: his rhythm.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DTP-tpOjESz/?hl=cs&amp;img_index=1"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER</h2><p>OKTAGON 82 will bring the conclusion of the third and final season of the million-euro Tipsport Gamechanger project. The final of the pyramid will fittingly take place where it all began – in Düsseldorf. It was here, at OKTAGON 66 in February 2025, that the first Round of 16 bouts were held. Now, the very last one will be fought here.</p><p>Engizek has the pace, the power, and the mental toughness. Jotko has the wrestling, the experience, and the ability to break an opponent’s game plan. One rules the OKTAGON cage. The other comes from the UFC to prove his level is even higher. In the end, only one will remain. The winner will take <strong>€300,000</strong> and the title of champion of the biggest MMA tournament in Europe.</p><p><strong>The Tipsport Gamechanger has written countless incredible stories. Now it ends with perhaps the biggest fight possible – a clash of two fighters who belong among the best in the world. You can watch their duel this Saturday, January 17.

THE TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER FINAL: ENGIZEK AND JOTKO CLASH IN A WORLD-CLASS SHOWDOWN

<p>The year<strong> 2025</strong> was a turning point for OKTAGON. We visited new cities, launched new projects, and once again took a step forward. We also crossed several major milestones: since the organization was founded, our events have been attended by more than <strong>750,000 fans</strong>, we have staged over <strong>1,000 MMA bouts</strong>, and in the past year alone we witnessed a total of 11 title fights. Take a look back at the most significant moments of the year.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/f72d4041-e08a-44cd-bfd3-382d59e9716a/cs.1767972878304.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a310dacc-f8f8-452a-8183-3bf0beeefe2e/cs.1767973034540.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>THE THIRD SEASON OF THE MILLION-EURO TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER PYRAMID</h2><p>New names, new challenges. The third season of the million-euro <strong>Tipsport Gamechanger</strong> project took place this time in the <strong>middleweight division</strong> (up to 84 kg). Just like previous editions, the tournament attracted elite fighters from around the world, all competing for prestige and a fairytale prize of <strong>€300,000</strong>. Who will become the winner of the final season of this unique project? We’ll find out next Saturday, when middleweight champion <strong>Kerim Engizek</strong> faces Polish veteran <strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong> in the final.</p><p>Fighters introduced by Tipsport Gamechanger last year:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Dominik Humburger</strong></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><strong>Mark Hulme</strong></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><strong>Kamil Oniszczuk</strong></p></li></ul><p>All of them delivered outstanding performances, and we are already looking forward to seeing them back in the cage. <strong>Jotko</strong> now awaits a final showdown with <strong>Engizek</strong>, who has been unbeaten for nearly eleven years. <strong>Oniszczuk</strong> will face the in-form <strong>Marek Bartl</strong>. <strong>Dominik Humburger</strong> became one of the biggest stars of the year despite losing his semifinal bout to Engizek in an incredible battle—very possibly the fight of the year. <strong>Mark Hulme</strong> was considered the biggest favorite to win the tournament until his clash with Humburger, and his life story captured the hearts of many fans.</p><h2>WILL FLEURY BECOMES DOUBLE CHAMPION AND P4P KING</h2><p>The phenomenal <strong>Will “Fucking” Fleury</strong> added a second belt to his collection. After winning the light heavyweight title, he moved up to the heaviest division and defeated <strong>Lazar Todev</strong> in a five-round title fight. That <strong>victory confirmed Fleury’s peak form</strong> and his ability to prepare for much heavier opponents. He underlined this at the end of the year with arguably the biggest win of his career—against Slovak giant <strong>Martin Buday</strong>, who returned to OKTAGON after a successful run in the UFC.</p><p><strong>Fleury finished Buday</strong> in the first round, defended his heavyweight title, and earned the <strong>Performance of the Night bonus</strong>. The Irish fan favorite is simply unstoppable. After the fight, he expressed his desire to become <strong>OKTAGON’s first-ever triple champion</strong>—staging a staredown in the cage with interim champion Muradov. Would you like to see that fight? First, however, Fleury will defend his light heavyweight belt against the surging <strong>Daniel Škvor</strong>. It will be their second meeting, and it will be fascinating to see how the rematch unfolds.</p><h2>RETURN TO EDEN AND THE CONFIRMATION OF KARLOS VÉMOLA’S IMMORTALITY</h2><p>Last year, OKTAGON also returned to <strong>Prague’s Eden Stadium</strong>, where the final chapter of the trilogy between <strong>Karlos Vémola</strong> and <strong>Attila Végh</strong> took place. Two legends met in the cage one last time to decide the ultimate winner once and for all. After five intense and evenly matched rounds, the <strong>Infinity Belt </strong>went to the Czech<strong> “Terminator,”</strong> who definitively cemented his legacy as a giant and legend of Czech MMA.</p><p>The event also featured an interim middleweight title fight between <strong>Patrik Kincl</strong> and<strong> Makhmud Muradov</strong>, which Muradov won convincingly on points. Beyond the sporting performances, the spectacular <strong>Progresus Halftime Show</strong> by <strong>Calin and his Rychlí kluci label</strong> added incredible energy and flair to the evening. OKTAGON will not return to Fortuna Arena in 2026, but instead will head back to <strong>Eintracht Stadium in Frankfurt</strong>, aiming once again to break the world record for MMA event attendance.</p><h2>THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EVENT OF THE YEAR AT ŠTVANICE</h2><p><strong>OKTAGON 74 </strong>took place on <strong>Prague’s legendary Štvanice Island</strong>, where OKTAGON returned after two years. The open-air setting once again created an unmistakable atmosphere, and fans witnessed an evening full of powerful stories. The card featured the <strong>Tipsport Gamechanger quarterfinals</strong> and a historic title change, as <strong>Lucia Szabová defeated reigning champion Cecilia Bolander</strong> in the main event. One of the biggest surprises of the night came courtesy of <strong>Dominik Humburger</strong>, who stunned expectations by ending the winning streak of the favored <strong>Mark Hulme</strong>. Štvanice once again confirmed its status as one of the most iconic venues on the domestic MMA scene.</p><h2>OKTAGON DEBUTS ON FREE-TO-AIR RTL BROADCAST IN COLOGNE</h2><p><strong>OKTAGON 78 in Cologne</strong> marked a major milestone not only for German MMA, but for European MMA as a whole. For the first time, an <strong>OKTAGON event was broadcast free-to-air on German television channel RTL</strong>. A wide audience was able to watch the two main fights of the evening for free—the women’s bout between <strong>Alina Dalaslan</strong> and <strong>Katharina Lehner</strong>, and the highly anticipated clash between <strong>Christian Eckerlin</strong> and <strong>Ivica Trušček</strong>. For OKTAGON and the German market, this was a clear signal of growing trust from major media outlets and confirmation that MMA is steadily finding its place in mainstream television.</p><p><strong>That was our 2025. Thank you to all the fans for the incredible energy and emotions that continue to drive us forward. In 2026, we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the organization’s founding, and you can already look forward to a packed and unforgettable program. This year, we will deliver more events than ever before. We kick things off next Saturday, January 17, in Düsseldorf, where the winner of the final season of the Tipsport Gamechanger will be decided.</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="121"></okteventcomponent>

2025 AT A GLANCE: THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENTS OF THE PAST YEAR

<p>OKTAGON’s featherweight division is approaching a pivotal moment. The matchup between <strong>Gjoni Palokaj</strong> and <strong>James Hendin</strong> brings together two in-form contenders at the top of the division, with the winner moving a major step closer to a title shot. Palokaj is hungry for his first finish in the organization, while England’s “Honeybadger” Hendin aims to build on his latest victory and defeat the home favorite.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/2d7681a8-9629-46f5-a7b4-3a77f87d406e/cs.1767801110268.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/97524d7c-e113-4d98-b45b-66ee1f8d34fe/cs.1767801115341.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>GJONI PALOKAJ CUTS THROUGH THE DIVISION WITH EASE</h2><p>Gjoni Palokaj is one of the most consistent fighters in the featherweight division. The current <strong>#5 contender</strong> most recently defeated the talented Jakub Batfalský in the main event of OKTAGON 75 in Hanover, extending his <strong>winning streak to seven fights in a row</strong>. He has been unbeaten for an incredible <strong>1,176 days</strong>, making him one of the most dominant fighters on the entire roster.</p><p>Palokaj is a former champion of two German organizations and remains the <strong>only fighter to have defeated star prospect Islam Dulatov</strong>. He has <strong>never been stopped by KO or TKO</strong> in his career. In OKTAGON, he has won all five of his bouts by decision. Some see this as a weakness, others as proof of complete control, patience, and the ability to outclass opponents round after round.</p><p>One thing is certain: another win would launch Palokaj straight into the title conversation.</p><h2>THE ENGLISH “HONEYBADGER” ON THE ROAD TO THE TOP</h2><p>Standing across the cage is English fighter James Hendin, known as the “Honeybadger”—a nickname that perfectly reflects his style. Relentless, tough, and dangerous in every position. Hendin <strong>holds a professional record of 10–3</strong>, with six victories coming before the final bell. Like Palokaj, he has <strong>never been stopped by KO or TKO</strong>.</p><p>Hendin made his OKTAGON debut at OKTAGON 56 in Birmingham, where he dominated Jakub Dohnal and finished him with brutal elbows in the second round. In that fight, he spent 87% of the time in a dominant ground position, clearly showcasing his biggest weapons: elite wrestling and suffocating control.</p><p>Hendin is also a <strong>former Cage Warriors title challenger</strong> and currently sits at <strong>#187 in the global Fightmatrix rankings</strong>. A win over Palokaj would be the biggest victory of his career and a direct ticket into OKTAGON’s elite.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DQ9Dj-hDFq_/"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>WHO TAKES THE NEXT BIG STEP?</h2><p>This fight will come down to details. Palokaj’s precision, tactics, and long unbeaten run versus Hendin’s aggression, pressure, and ground dominance. Both men share one key trait—<strong>neither has ever been stopped on the feet</strong>. That makes it all the more intriguing to see who can seize control in the crucial moments.</p><p><strong>OKTAGON 82 promises an action-packed card featuring major OKTAGON names as well as exciting young talents eager to shine on Europe’s most prestigious MMA stage. We will also finally find out who claims victory in the third season of the million-euro Tipsport Gamechanger project and takes home the fairytale prize of €300,000.

OKTAGON’s featherweight division is approaching a pivotal moment. The matchup between Gjoni Palokaj and James Hendin brings together two in-form contenders at the top of the division, with the winner moving a major step closer to a title shot. 

GJONI PALOKAJ REMAINS UNBEATEN IN OKTAGON. NOW HE FACES DANGEROUS HENDIN

<p>Marek Bartl, nicknamed the <strong>“German Slayer”</strong> is heading back to Germany. In Düsseldorf, he will face the durable Polish fighter Kamil Oniszczuk. Bartl is currently riding a two-fight winning streak, and another victory could move him into the <strong>TOP 10</strong> of OKTAGON’s stacked middleweight division. Oniszczuk most recently defeated the experienced David Zawada. Will he withstand this tough test against the Czech veteran?</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/a4b0b739-6347-4742-be9b-bcac618e056b/cs.1767698600288.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6e16cb1e-7735-4a65-bd53-fcaa7c15847e/cs.1767698605053.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>BARTL HAS WON OVER GERMAN FANS</h2><p>Marek Bartl has been a regular presence at <strong>German events since OKTAGON 36</strong>, where he first introduced himself to German fans at the Frankfurt event. Since then, he has competed at a total of seven OKTAGON events in Germany—<strong>winning five of them</strong>. He has almost always faced local fighters, and German crowds made it clear he was fighting on enemy territory. Over time, however, and with each performance, Bartl built his reputation and is now among the most sought-after fighters on German OKTAGON cards.</p><p>One thing is guaranteed with Bartl—<strong>he always delivers a war</strong>. Only two of his last seven fights went to the judges’ scorecards. His bout with <strong>Schwindt</strong> is remembered by fans as one of the <strong>wildest fights</strong> in OKTAGON history, with both fighters pushing themselves to the absolute limit. In his most recent appearance, Bartl produced a spectacular finish, flooring <strong>Kennedy Rayomba with a spinning back elbow</strong> in the first round.

OKTAGON 81 THROUGH THE EYES OF THE JUDGES: TITLES DEFENDED AND ONLY A HANDFUL OF DECISIONS

<p>Prague’s O₂ Arena witnessed a spectacular conclusion to 2025. OKTAGON 81 delivered thrilling title fights, emotional farewells, and clear answers to the questions that had been shaking the domestic scene. Fans saw lightning-fast finishes, dominant championship performances, and stories that will be remembered for a long time. How did the final event of the year unfold?</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/b01d7ada-2631-4052-8183-bd5498ecb57b/cs.1767023123041.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/62f97f68-ba6e-48c3-8981-31ed1c1e6232/cs.1767023127476.png" croppedcorners="true"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>WILL FLEURY vs. MARTIN BUDAY</h2><p>And Still! Will “Fucking” Fleury did it again. In the toughest test of his career against Slovak UFC veteran Martin Buday, he secured victory in the very first round. As expected, Fleury relied on his speed and excellent movement, troubling the heavier Buday with single shots. He then caught Buday’s kick and dropped him with a follow-up hook. A barrage of strikes on the ground sealed Fleury’s incredible win. The Irish fan favorite simply continues to amaze. Next, a light heavyweight title defense against Daniel Škvor now appears likely.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1304"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ZHALGAS ZHUMAGULOV vs. DAVID DVOŘÁK</h2><p>A dominant performance by the Kazakh champion and a convincing first defense of the flyweight title against local star David Dvořák. Zhumagulov controlled the fight from the opening bell—he was faster, sharper, and more powerful. In the third round, he landed several heavy shots that visibly rocked Dvořák, prompting the doctor to stop the bout during the break before the next round. A commanding victory for Zhumagulov.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1293"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PATRIK KINCL vs. ROBERT PUKAČ II</h2><p>A masterclass from Patrik Kincl, who systematically dismantled Robert Pukač and proved he still has plenty to offer in OKTAGON. Calm, focused, and tactically flawless, Kincl dominated both on the feet and on the ground, giving Pukač no room to operate. Credit is due to Pukač as well for surviving all the damage and lasting until the judges’ decision, which unanimously favored Kincl in all three rounds. Who will the former champion face next?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1277"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PATRICK VESPAZIANI vs. DANIEL ŠKVOR</h2><p>Škvor did it again! He shocked fans and experts alike by submitting the bigger and heavier Vespaziani with a guillotine choke midway through the second round. Few expected such an ending—possibly not even Škvor himself. The seasoned striker capitalized perfectly on his opponent’s mistake, and once the submission was locked in, there was no escape. After defeating the division’s #3 contender, Škvor called out champion Will Fleury for a light heavyweight title rematch.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1315"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ONDŘEJ RAŠKA vs. PAVEL TÓTH</h2><p>The conclusion of the Celebrity Series unfolded largely as many had expected. Raška entered the bout calmly and confidently against the inexperienced Tóth, asserting his dominance from the opening seconds. Tóth, however, refused to give up easily and attempted a counter left hook on the feet. Raška chose not to take risks, took the fight to the ground, and unleashed heavy ground-and-pound. The referee stopped the fight after 80 seconds, awarding Raška a TKO victory. Still, Tóth deserves respect for accepting the challenge and fighting until the very end. The next Celebrity Series bout will take place in Bratislava between singer Michal Novotný aka Yaksha and Rastislav Zara aka Zvarči, known from the reality show Ruža pre nevestu.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1252"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MILOŠ PETRÁŠEK vs. MATEUSZ STRZELCZYK</h2><p>The final fight of Miloš Petrášek’s career ended on a bitter note. Mateusz Strzelczyk weathered “Melon’s” pressure in the first round and applied an armbar in the second, forcing Petrášek to tap. The farewell did not go as planned, but the beloved Czech fighter still enjoyed an emotional goodbye with the fans. He entered the cage accompanied by his young son, further amplifying the moment. Petrášek now plans to focus more on his family, while remaining involved in training, passing on his experience to younger generations—and perhaps competing in grappling events. On behalf of OKTAGON, we congratulate Miloš on a wonderful career and thank him for everything.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1314"></oktfightcomponent><h2>JONAS MAGARD vs. ELVIS SILVA</h2><p>The Danish “Shark” delivered another clear and dominant victory. The current #2 bantamweight and the highest-ranked OKTAGON bantamweight in the Fightmatrix world rankings showed exactly why he should be next in line for a title shot. He gave the experienced Silva no openings and controlled the fight in all aspects over three rounds.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1291"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VERONIKA SMOLKOVÁ vs. MARTA SÓS</h2><p>“Sweetheart” Veronika Smolková confirmed her excellent form and claimed her sixth consecutive win. From the start, she pressed hard against Poland’s Marta Sós, clearly hunting for a quick finish—and she got it. After a flurry of punches against the cage, the referee stepped in to stop the bout. Smolková earned a first-round TKO in her fourth fight of 2025.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1310"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VOJTĚCH KHOL vs. HUGO VACH</h2><p>Hugo Vach delivered a flawless performance, thoroughly outclassing the home fighter Khol. The German prospect showed why he is considered one of the most promising young talents in Germany. The fight played out mostly on the feet, where Vach was more accurate and powerful, denying the courageous Khol any major opportunities. A high-quality bout between two young prospects of the organization.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1313"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ALEX HUTYRA vs. VIKTOR KOVÁČ</h2><p>Alex Hutyra confirmed his favorite status and added another submission finish to his résumé. He managed the dangerous Kováč well on the feet before taking over on the ground, where he secured his third professional win with a rear-naked choke in the second round. A perfect OKTAGON debut for the young prospect. Who would you like to see him face next?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1348"></oktfightcomponent><h2>IVAN KLEVETS vs. BARTŁOMIEJ SKOWYRA</h2><p>The free prelims featured an extremely close contest between two young fighters. Ukraine’s Ivan Klevets ultimately emerged victorious, securing his fourth consecutive win and confirming his rising form. After three evenly matched rounds, the judges awarded Klevets the decision, giving him rounds one and three.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1350"></oktfightcomponent><p></p><p><strong>OKTAGON 81 delivered everything fans could have hoped for—great title fights, surprises, emotions, and powerful stories.
