<p>Tomorrow brings us a fight card like no other: 3 title fights and the very best of the entire organization under one roof at the O2 Arena. Let’s take a look at what you can look forward to!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/98a62caf-82bd-4a7a-8f3d-db07b0b7af6a/cs.1735396294296.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/efe84b88-5cad-44bd-b72a-f1e6a9982545/cs.1735396299849.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER: PARADEISER VS. KEITA 2</h2><p>The grand finale of the million-dollar pyramid and a rematch that countless fans have been dreaming about! This isn’t just about the title of the best lightweight in Europe and life-changing money, but also the championship belt (thrown into the mix by the current lightweight king Rony) and the top spot in the P4P rankings across all OKTAGON weight classes. Rony tore through the pyramid like a hot knife through butter, and after a tough first round, he hasn’t stumbled once – he is at the peak of his powers. Similarly, the stellar Keita is aiming to become the champion of two divisions at once. One of the biggest fights in the organization’s history will decide: will Keita take everything from Rony, or will Paradeiser comfortably sit on the throne that took so much hard work to reach?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1032"></oktfightcomponent><h2>VÉMOLA VS. FLEURY</h2><p>This one is personal! Will Fleury came to OKTAGON, insulted nearly the entire division, and immediately called out Karlos. And his plan worked. After crushing defeats of Škvor and Langer, the world’s #45 got exactly what he wanted. Beyond the title fight, this is also about personal revenge! Vémola allegedly injured Fleury during a training session in England years ago and never even apologized. While the Czech legend has no recollection of this, Fleury still can’t let it go! Will we see the legend and current light heavyweight champion in trouble, or will he leave as the king once again?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1076"></oktfightcomponent><h2>PUDILOVÁ VS. BOLANDER 2</h2><p>Szabová cannot step in at the last moment, which is undoubtedly a great pity. However, the replacement, Bolander, is fully prepared to seek revenge for her last encounter with Pudilová, and this time it’s for the title. Their first fight already delivered an unforgettable and incredibly tough spectacle. Undoubtedly an excellent replacement, Bolander is a huge Norwegian talent, while Pudilová only recently returned after two years away from the UFC, where she made history as the first Czech woman to compete. It was her relatively close victory over Bolander in Brno that earned her this title fight, which fatefully brings both women back into the cage.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1114"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MÅGÅRD VS. SEVERINO</h2><p>Bantamweight’s number one, Mågård, has already proven multiple times that he doesn’t fear much. When Igor Severino, a controversial new signing, announced his arrival to the organization, Mågård gladly took up the challenge. After some trash talk on social media, it’s time to settle it in the cage. Severino is a huge threat not just for the bantamweight division. His only career loss came from a disqualification in the UFC for biting his opponent – now he’s figuratively sharpening his teeth for the “Shark”!</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1085"></oktfightcomponent><h2>ÚŠKRT VS. SCHWINDT</h2><p>Úškrt has experienced a lot in the cage – from Kertész, through Monster, to Magnor, whom he finished in the first round. Now he faces a sudden change of opponent, as Polívka is ill, and German substitute Daniel Schwindt steps in. Schwindt has 7 professional fights under his belt, and all his victories have come before the time limit. He’s no pushover.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1066"></oktfightcomponent><h2>SARDARI VS. DIMIĆ</h2><p>The last reserve fight of this year's Tipsport Gamechanger tournament has undergone a last-minute change, but the excitement is guaranteed. Sardari, a former two-time Cage Warriors champion and a top Dutch lightweight fighter, has never been knocked out but has racked up numerous finishes himself. In the first round of the pyramide, he almost defeated Keita! Dimić, a Serbian talent, didn’t hesitate to step in on short notice just days before the fight and stands out with his explosive style. Will Sardari's calm and experience prevail, or will the fierce Serbian energy take the win?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1113"></oktfightcomponent><h2>TICHOTA VS. ASLANER</h2><p>Jakub Tichota is a rare phenomenon – at just 23 years old, he already has two title fights and challenges that his older colleagues are only now preparing for. His path to the top was interrupted by a serious injury, which ultimately forced him to change weight classes. This will be his second fight in the lightweight division, this time against Germany’s skilled Aslaner, who has already become a champion in one of Germany’s organizations. For him, too, this is a fresh start after a long-term injury. Who will enter the new year as a winner?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1082"></oktfightcomponent><h2>GABAL VS. BAJRAMI</h2><p>Peter Gabal, the IMMAF vice-champion of the world, showcased his dominance with an impressive 18-second victory at PML, proving he’s ready to take on bigger challenges. Opposing him is Bajrami, a fighter who has defeated all his opponents before the time limit with devastating strikes, perfected through years of training in boxing and MMA. Two finish specialists facing off in a bout that promises to deliver an electrifying spectacle.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1112"></oktfightcomponent><h2>NOVÁK VS. KURHELA</h2><p>Marco Novák continues his transformation into a successful MMA fighter. At OKTAGON 59, he earned a valuable victory against Roušal, dominating on the ground. The WKU kickboxing world champion now holds a three-fight win streak, all of which ended before the time limit. Against the versatile Finnish fighter Eemil Kurhela, an experienced amateur champion, Novák faces a crucial test of his all-around skills.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1035"></oktfightcomponent><h2>BATFALSKÝ VS. TOPORCER</h2><p>Twenty-one-year-old Batfalský, the Czech and Slovak amateur champion, is riding a two-fight win streak, with four of his five victories coming by finish. He’s gained experience alongside the stellar Keita. Slovak talent “El Diablo” Toporcer boasts two KOs and two submissions, finishing his first three professional fights in the first round. Which of these two rising talents is heading for the top?</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1083"></oktfightcomponent>

Concise, clear, and organized: what will the best card in OKTAGON history bring? Go through it all and stay in the loop.

Will he add a fourth bonus to his collection and equal the current record held by Rony Paradeiser? <strong>Strzelczyk </strong>and <strong>Mallory</strong> <strong>Martin</strong> each have one bonus. Martin also earned a bonus for her performance in the UFC, just like Ion Surdu's opponent, <strong>Krzysztof</strong> <strong>Jotko</strong>. The entire card is packed with warriors eager to deliver the best show possible and, alongside a vital victory, secure the award for the best performance of the night. Who will take it home? We’ll find out this Saturday.</p><h2>RECORD-BREAKING POLISH PARTICIPATION</h2><p>OKTAGON 70 will be, among other things, the event with the largest number of Polish fighters in history. Among them is the highly experienced UFC veteran <strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong>, who will be one of the main attractions of the evening in his OKTAGON debut. He will be joined by <strong>Piotr Wawrzyniak</strong>, <strong>Łukasz Siwiec</strong>, and <strong>Karol Kutyła</strong>, all of whom bring the famed Polish toughness and determination, qualities they’ll certainly need in their bouts. While Ion Surdu is not Polish, he has lived and trained in Poland for many years and has many fans there, so he can be considered a Polish fighter in the broader sense. And let’s not forget the two Mateuszes – <strong>Strzelczyk</strong> and <strong>Duzcmal</strong> – who accepted a last-minute fight and will face off in the free prelims of this Polish war.</p><h2>CHAMPIONS IN THE HOUSE</h2><p>At OKTAGON 70, true titans will meet! Two <strong>OKTAGON Underground champions</strong>, <strong>Vlasto</strong> <strong>Čepo</strong> and <strong>Daniel</strong> <strong>Škvor</strong>, will step into the cage with sheer determination. Both carry that "underground" tension, never holding back on hard strikes! But that’s far from the end. <strong>Mallory Martin</strong> and <strong>Ion</strong> <strong>Surdu</strong>, two OKTAGON champions, are here to confirm their qualities and prove they belong on the throne, with no intention of stepping down anytime soon. Surdu may be fighting outside his weight class, and while his title isn’t on the line, it’s about honor. And we can’t forget <strong>Samuel</strong> <strong>Krištofič</strong>, the <strong>OKTAGON</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> <strong>champion</strong>, who’s been through a tough journey and already showed us that he has what it takes to fight the best. </p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DI1m9upMbVK/?hl=cs"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p>Each of these fighters has something to prove, and fans can expect some serious battles that will stay in their memories for a long time! This event will be filled with nerves, hard hits, and proper MMA – you simply cannot miss this!</p><h2>NEW FACES AND VETERANS OF OKTAGON: WHO WILL BREAK THROUGH?</h2><p>In Karlovy Vary, we’ll see a number of fresh faces making their debut in the yellow-and-black cage. <strong>Dominik Humburger</strong>, <strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong>, and <strong>Erhan Kartal</strong> are all stepping into their OKTAGON debuts with one clear goal – a loud victory. For Humburger, this is the toughest test of his career so far. In the opposite corner stands the unpredictable <strong>“Pirát” Krištofič</strong>, who is one of the most experienced fighters. Pirát has 19 fights in the organization, with 11 wins, placing him among the top 9 fighters with the most victories in OKTAGON. The former interim middleweight champion and conqueror of Karlos Vémola wants to show young “Hambáč” that he’s an easy target. The battle of veterans in the domestic scene will feature the clash between <strong>Maté Kertész</strong> and <strong>Andrej Kalašnik</strong>. Both experienced, both popular, but only one can win and move forward. Who will take it and who might say goodbye to the top 10 welterweight division? We shouldn’t forget about local fighter <strong>Daniel “Dee Dee” Škvor</strong>. He has 11 out of his 12 professional MMA fights in OKTAGON, not counting the additional three bouts in OKTAGON: Underground. Škvor faces a stylistically similar opponent in Marcus Doussis, so we can expect an exciting striking battle.</p><p><strong>Whether you’re rooting for Pirát or Humburger, Kertész or Kalašnik, Mazúch or Wawrzyniak – one thing is clear, you don’t want to miss this! OKTAGON 70 will shake up Karlovy Vary. Some stories will end, but others will begin. Don’t miss it!

OKTAGON 70 RECORDS AND FACTS: POLISH RAID, THE HUNT FOR THE BONUS, AND A FIGHT BETWEEN VETERANS

<p>Samuel “Pirát” Krištofič has made OKTAGON his home. No wonder, as he has been part of the organization since 2017. Over the years, he has built a reputation as one of the most prominent fighters in the Czech-Slovak scene. During this journey, he has experienced many successes, but also setbacks and falls from which he had to recover. Now, after a year and a half-long break, he returns to remind everyone of what he's capable of.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/8b8ee479-a8c1-49d9-bfc1-4baecf98797c/cs.1745347243448.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/7e8c7f22-b676-441f-a605-08f902c7097c/cs.1745347249815.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>BEGINNING WITH SPORTS AND MMA</h2><p>Long before Samuel became a star in Czech-Slovak MMA, he was involved in football and is still a big fan today. His MMA story began in 2015 when he transitioned from Muay Thai to a new discipline under the guidance of Kamil Cibinski at Chaos Gym in Bratislava. However, he truly earned attention in 2017 when he joined OKTAGON MMA, specifically the reality show <strong>OKTAGON Výzva II.</strong> Even during the reality show, it was clear that Pirát could be a troublesome opponent, both in and out of the cage. In the final of the show, he defeated Radovan Úškrta, becoming the champion of the second season, which brought him into the spotlight. It was his ticket to joining the best fighters in OKTAGON. His humor, charisma, and ability to entertain people, as well as annoy his opponents, were just the cherry on top.</p><h2>UPS AND DOWNS: KEY MOMENTS IN HIS CAREER</h2><p>His first title opportunity didn’t take long to arrive – at OKTAGON 11, Pirát faced David Kozma in the main event for the welterweight title. After a five-round battle, Kozma took the victory, and Pirát returned home empty-handed. Over the following years, he always stayed within reach of a title shot, though it continued to elude him. One of the biggest moments in his career came in his fight with Karlos Vémola at OKTAGON 51. Pirát shocked the entire MMA world when he sent "The Terminator" to the canvas with a brutal KO in the first round. This victory not only earned him the Performance of the Night bonus but also gained him respect from fans and the entire MMA community. After this victory, Pirát became an even bigger star, quickly gaining recognition not only from the Czech-Slovak audience but also internationally. Moreover, with the win over Karlos, he broke a two-fight losing streak against Robert Bryczek and Alex Lohoré. Can Pirát build on his last big victory?</p><h2>SURVIVOR AND RETURN TO THE CAGE</h2><p>In 2024, Pirát temporarily stepped away from the MMA world to participate in the second season of the reality show <strong>Survivor</strong>. On the island, he faced not only physical challenges from hunger, extreme weather, and tough physical duels, but also psychological trials that are part of the game. He demonstrated his endurance and resilience, which had always accompanied him in the cage and outside it. Although he didn’t win, he made it to the final five, which was a remarkable achievement! He also gained new fans outside the world of combat sports who discovered him throughout the show.</p><h2>OKTAGON 70 AND A SECOND CHANCE IN THE TIPSPORT GAMECHANGER</h2><p>Returning from Survivor wasn’t easy – an injury followed, and training had to stop once again. After a long year and a half, Pirát is finally making his comeback to the cage at <strong>OKTAGON</strong> <strong>70</strong>, which will take place on April 26, 2025, in Karlovy Vary. In the main event of the evening, he will face hungry debutant Dominik Humburger. Pirát won’t have an easy task ahead of him. Dominik is a younger, dynamic, and versatile fighter who has come to play at the highest level. The fight is also crucial for advancing to the next phase of the pyramid, which only one fighter can win. For Krištofič, this is his second attempt in the European Champions League of Tipsport Gamechanger. Last time, his first fight didn’t go well, and he was eliminated in the opening round of the pyramid. Now, he wants to silence his critics in Karlovy Vary and give the newcomer "Hambáč" a tough welcome. Whether it's his wrestling skills or sharp trash talk, Pirát is a fighter who never stays in the shadows.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1108"></oktfightcomponent><h2>OUTSIDE THE CAGE</h2><p>Samuel is known not only as a great fighter but also as someone with a strong personal story. He’s a huge dog lover and spends his free time caring for them. In 2021, he became a father to his daughter Dominika, and in 2022, he married his longtime girlfriend Janka. Less known is the fact that Pirát considers Jiří Procházka, the first Czech UFC champion, as one of his role models and sources of inspiration. After all, both of them share a difficult childhood and adolescence, as well as a path to a better life through combat sports.</p><p><strong>April 26, 2025, will be another major moment in Pirát's career. This is one fight you definitely don’t want to miss! You have your last chance to buy tickets or grab our PPV and watch the event from the comfort of your home.

TIME WITH PIRÁT: REMINDING YOU OF THE JOURNEY OF ONE OF OKTAGON'S MOST DISTINGUISHED FACES

<p><strong>OKTAGON 70</strong> in Karlovy Vary is packed from start to finish. <strong>Four Tipsport Gamechanger bouts</strong>, a <strong>women’s strawweight title fight</strong>, and much more. You definitely <strong>don’t want to miss the prelims</strong> because these fights are going to be worth it!</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/3be41e63-6c31-4ff5-8980-0fa10a498502/cs.1744978798535.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/69b8d7a5-e24d-494a-a5ed-e03992088fae/cs.1744978805384.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>TWO FIGHTS AND A BATTLE FOR THE WOMEN’S CROWN!</h2><p>The final fight of the prelims will be the first but far from the last highlight of the night. The title bout for the women’s strawweight belt between <strong>Mallory Martin</strong> and <strong>Eva Dourthe</strong> promises an incredible show. Martin returns after a spectacular win over former champion Dalisda, which she claimed in front of 60,000 fans in Frankfurt. Now, she faces her first title defense against the dangerous Frenchwoman.</p><p>Dourthe has previously held a belt in an international organization. Since 2021, she has only lost twice, both times to the same opponent – <strong>Katharina Dalisda</strong>. If she secures the title, she might have the chance to face her nemesis once more and avenge the two losses Dalisda handed her in the past. Will she overcome the indomitable Martin, or will the title slip away once again?</p><p>Just two fights earlier, the nightmare of the women’s strawweight division – the German warrior Katharina Dalisda – returns to the OKTAGON cage, where she’s already made history, and now she’s back on track for the top! The determined German never enters the cage without maximum motivation, and this time, her hunger for victory is even greater. A win in Karlovy Vary could catapult her back into the title hunt. But it won’t be easy…</p><p>On the other side of the cage will stand <strong>Elin Öberg</strong>, the uncompromising Nordic fighter who’s not here just for experience – she’s here for scalps! The Swedish fighter is fast, tough, and, above all, fearless. She’s the perfect opponent for a full-on battle. Can Dalisda withstand the relentless pressure from her fearless opponent? Will she take another step towards reclaiming the title? Watch the battle of elite female fighters at OKTAGON 70 – it’s going to be a ride!</p><h2>RUCHY RETURNS TO THE SCENE</h2><p><strong>Radek Roušal</strong>, the Czech Muay Thai fighter who’s increasingly making his mark in MMA, will face the experienced Polish fighter Karol Kutyła in Karlovy Vary. Roušal is known for his hard combinations and precise movement in striking. Now, he will want to put on a great show for his home fans. Against him stands <strong>Karol Kutyła</strong>, a Muay Thai specialist with extensive MMA experience across Europe. This fight will be a striking war! Can Roušal control the pace and avoid making unnecessary mistakes? Or will the Polish butcher hand him another loss?</p><h2>DON’T SLEEP ON THE START!</h2><p>In the prelims, you can also look forward to a showdown between reserve fighters for the Tipsport Gamechanger 3 pyramid. The unyielding Pole <strong>Siwiec</strong> will face the experienced wrestler <strong>Khajevand</strong>, who has already choked out names like Mikulášek and Polívka. A balanced duel for the chance to have a say in the million-euro prize!</p><p>And the entire event will kick off with an intense battle between two Mateuszes in the light heavyweight division – <strong>Strzelczyk</strong> vs <strong>Duczmal</strong>. Both fighters showed the heart of warriors when they took the fight on short notice, perfectly complementing an already stacked OKTAGON 70 card. Don’t miss your chance to be there!</p><p><strong>OKTAGON 70 will offer an emotional rollercoaster like you’ve never experienced before! Secure your spot in the arena – the event is rapidly approaching! Karlovy Vary and a night you won’t soon forget!

THIS APPETIZER WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL! DON’T MISS THE PRELIMS IN KARLOVY VARY

<p>Green Thursday is here, but green Saturday is yet to come! Next week, OKTAGON 70 will take place in Karlovy Vary, where the main stars won't be appearing on the movie screen but inside the black-and-yellow cage. Fighters from military ranks will also take to the ring – Dominik Humburger, Marek Mazúch, and Eva Dourthe.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/76ac35d7-1537-4a41-9672-3ad2d786ab1a/cs.1744904016937.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/e771ca88-298b-4e41-8028-05ab714135d5/cs.1744904023446.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>MILITARY DISCIPLINE AND DETERMINATION IN THE CAGE</h2><p>MMA and military training share a number of common traits. The emphasis on discipline, strategy, and the ability to endure in the most challenging moments is essential in both worlds. Fighters often undergo physical and mental stress tests, which are standard in the military. Soldiers know how to handle crisis situations and push their limits continuously. This can make all the difference in the ring – who will give in, and who will withstand? The ability to respond quickly to changes is also crucial. Even with the best analysis of your opponent, the cage can still surprise you. Additionally, the connection between MMA and the army is quite common. A prime example is Randy Couture, a UFC legend and former champion, who served as a sergeant in the United States Army.</p><h2>THE STORIES OF THREE SOLDIERS AT OKTAGON 70</h2><p>At the upcoming OKTAGON 70 event in Karlovy Vary, three soldiers will step onto the scales – Dominik Humburger, Marek Mazúch, and Eva Dourthe. Each of them brings not only their fighting strength to the cage but also valuable experiences from military training. What are the stories of these fighters, and what do they bring from the army?</p><p><strong>Dominik Humburger</strong> comes to OKTAGON to show what he's truly made of and fight for his dream victory in the Tipsport Gamechanger pyramid. In the army, he learned to constantly push the limits of his abilities, and now he’s reaping the rewards in MMA. Dominik hails from Liberec, where he also serves in the 31st Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Protection Regiment. He has previously mentioned that the connection between military service and professional MMA feels natural to him because both are tied by discipline and the ability to respond in tough situations.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHao_9kMd-c/?utm_source=ig_embed"></oktinstagramcomponent><p><strong>Marek Mazúch </strong>also had a stint in the military before transitioning to a professional MMA career. He used to serve in the Slovak Army as a soldier, undergoing military training. Now a professional MMA fighter, Marek remains calm until he's in the cage. When the fight begins, he jumps into the fray, deploying his “grenades” with precision. He’s not afraid to take risks, and his fighting strategy is as straightforward as a straight line – win by any means necessary.</p><p><strong>Eva Dourthe</strong> is not only an outstanding representative of women's MMA but also a role model for all women who dream of a career in the French army. Military training has given her strength, as well as the ability to remain calm in the most challenging moments of a fight and an undeniable resilience, which she has shown in all of her bouts. Dourthe has established herself as a strong and unyielding competitor who should not be underestimated. Can she dethrone Mallory Martin and become the new strawweight champion?</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIZIbsVsjOR/?utm_source=ig_embed"></oktinstagramcomponent><p></p><p><strong>One thing is for sure – OKTAGON 70 will not be boring! There are still a few tickets left, so don’t hesitate and grab your spot in the arena! Or buy our PPV and watch the entire event from the comfort of your couch. We start next Saturday, April 26th, at 18:00.</strong></p><okteventcomponent eventid="107"></okteventcomponent>

Green Thursday is here, but green Saturday is yet to come! Next week, OKTAGON 70 will take place in Karlovy Vary, where the main stars won't be appearing on the movie screen but inside the black-and-yellow cage. Fighters from military ranks will also take to the ring – Dominik Humburger, Marek Mazúch, and Eva Dourthe.

GREEN UNIFORMS AND MMA: TWO WORLDS THAT WILL COLLIDE AT OKTAGON 70

<p>Karlovy Vary – a city of elegance, red carpets, and mineral water. But also a city that will shake to its foundations on April 26th under the pressure of OKTAGON MMA fighters. Honor, titles, and a place in the million-dollar pyramid are at stake. But amidst all the sweat, tactics, and hard punches in the gloves, there will also be a moment for a different kind of fight – the fashion one. After all, even weigh-ins or press conferences can be a showcase of style.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/b78e92f2-7527-451d-9908-3b45ffebeb57/cs.1744801887982.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/2fedc71c-54cc-4035-afd0-12fbd6f1b405/cs.1744801911322.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>SPORTY ELEGANCE vs TOTAL COMFORT</h2><p>While some fighters are clear about their choice – comfort above all – others put great effort into their image. Take <strong>Radek Roušal</strong>, for example, who, since his relationship with influencer Nela Slováková, is not afraid to shine in more than just fight shorts. He has appeared at film premieres in outfits that any fashion blogger would envy. Roušal knows how to show that a fighter can have sharp elbows and refined taste.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHZAW1jKf5O/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D"></oktinstagramcomponent><p>On the other end of the fashion spectrum stands <strong>Vlasto Čepo</strong> – "El Chapo" is the embodiment of natural charm. For him, a purely sporty look and ease win out. A suit? More like a hoodie. But you know what they say – the one who doesn't talk much about fashion might end up surprising everyone with the most unexpected outfit of the night.</p><h2>TRADITION, ORIGINALITY, CONTRAST</h2><p><strong>Marek Mazúch</strong> has proven one thing during his career – he can be a demon in the cage and show that style has a thousand faces outside of it. When he appeared in traditional Slovak folk attire or a flannel shirt with a fur hat in the past, it was clear that he’s all about identity. He doesn’t go for superficiality – he delivers a message. And it works.</p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7Ba69CskAe/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D"></oktinstagramcomponent><p>As for <strong>Samuel Krištofič? </strong>He certainly isn’t afraid of colors, eccentricity, or fun. His style is as loud as his trash talk. After a year and a half-long break and participation in the reality show Survivor, he's back at the center of attention – and it’s likely that it won’t be just inside the cage.</p><h2>FROM MILITARY DISCIPLINE STRAIGHT TO THE RED CARPET</h2><p>And then there’s <strong>Dominik "Hambáč" Humburger</strong> – like Mazúch, he’s a soldier by profession, for whom a uniform is a regular part of the day. He’s even appeared in it at some weigh-ins. But once it’s time to get dressed up, he knows how to surprise. At a recent Playboy gala, he rocked a perfectly fitted tuxedo, leaving more than just a sporting impression. Will he choose a green outfit with a military touch for Karlovy Vary, or will he opt for classic black elegance? The answer is coming soon.</p><h2>THE UNIQUE KALAŠNIK</h2><p>Then there’s <strong>Andrej "Vagabund" Kalašnik</strong> – a man whose humor and personality have introduced a new face to MMA. A white tank top, Adidas sweatpants, sunglasses, and a hat – and charisma holding it all together.

POLISH WAVE: FOUR FIGHTERS WHO WILL SHATTER THE CALM OF THE SPA TOWN AT OKTAGON 70

<p>The Tipsport Gamechanger project is entering its next thrilling chapter – and this time, it’s coming spa-style… with a side of chaos! At <strong>OKTAGON 70 in Karlovy Vary</strong>, fans will witness four electrifying matchups in the Champions League of European MMA.</p><oktresponsiveimagecomponent url="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/6b138e99-650c-4d63-8a68-7bce55e405c3/cs.1744640581161.png" mobileurl="https://assets.oktagonmma.com/COMMON_IMAGE/0f12043d-1fcf-4c55-80c1-cad34bd2831d/cs.1744640585885.png"></oktresponsiveimagecomponent><h2>A STORY OF COMEBACK VS. A STORY OF RISE</h2><p><strong>Samuel “Pirát” Krištofič</strong> was one of OKTAGON’s leading faces long before stadiums were selling out. A former interim champion who has walked through both fire and glory, he’s returning to where he feels at home – the spotlight, the main narrative of the evening.</p><p>His performance against Vémola? A masterclass. And now, a new challenge awaits. Young blood, ready to be tested.</p><p><strong>Dominik Humburger</strong>.<strong>&nbsp;</strong>A disciplined workhorse who blends military toughness with a fighter’s hunger. This isn’t just a clash of generations – it’s a collision of stories. One man fighting his way back to the top, the other chasing his first taste of it. For Dominik, this is the fight of his life. As he himself admitted – defeating one of OKTAGON’s biggest stars would be an honor.</p><h2>A FRIENDSHIP THAT KNOWS NO MERCY?</h2><p>Two Slovak warriors: <strong>Vlasto Čepo</strong> and <strong>Marek Mazúch</strong>. Training partners, teammates, brothers outside the cage. But now they share one bracket. And if things go to plan, they could meet in a later round. Face to face. No mercy.</p><p>Mazúch – calm, cold-eyed, and deadly. Always under the radar, but always dangerous. His opponent, <strong>Piotr Wawrzyniak</strong>, is no easy task – a former interim champ with brutal power and a wealth of experience. But Marek isn’t the type to back down. Ever.</p><p>On the flip side: Čepo – the showman, the hammer, the phenomenon. A chainsaw in the cage, thriving on chaos. And chaos is exactly what’s coming his way in the form of <strong>Erhan Kartal</strong> – a man who puts “No Mercy” into his signature. This war could end before you even sit down.</p><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIQwrkbA1zd/?img_index=1"></oktinstagramcomponent><h2>A VETERAN VS. A CHAMPION</h2><p>While others are still dreaming of big fights, <strong>Krzysztof Jotko</strong> has already lived them. Eleven wins in the UFC, global-level experience, and a quiet professional who lets his performances speak. Across from him: a man who never shies away from a challenge.</p><p><strong>Ion Surdu</strong>, after an unsuccessful first run in the Gamechanger, came back to dominate the welterweight division. And now? He’s moved up in weight, entered the bracket, and immediately drew one of the biggest names in it. But Ion doesn’t follow the script. He’s lightning in the cage – unpredictable, dangerous, and fast. That’s what makes him one of the biggest dark horses in the tournament.</p><h2>THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A TOURNAMENT</h2><p>At <strong>OKTAGON 70</strong>, it’s not just about winning. It’s about careers, legacies, and life-changing money. Some paths may end before they even begin. Others are just getting started. But each of them will write a chapter in the Tipsport Gamechanger saga.</p><p><strong>Get your seat in the arena, or tune in live – either way, you don’t want to miss this.

The gala attracted a total of <strong>1.33 million views</strong> and became the most successful format of the day across all platforms. This was announced by RTL’s Content Director, Inga Leschek. A huge success for a partnership that is reshaping the MMA landscape in Germany.</p><h2>SOCIAL MEDIA SURGE</h2><p>The undisputed breakout star of the night was <strong>Frederic Vosgröne</strong>. With his dominant cage performance and undeniable charisma outside it, he truly captivated the German audience. Before the event, his Instagram following was just under 10,000. Today, that number has exploded to an incredible 112,000 and continues to rise! An outstanding debut in the organization—and we can’t wait to see what he brings next. He also shot up the global light heavyweight rankings to #138, a respectable achievement after just four pro fights.</p><p><strong>Max Holzer</strong> also saw a massive boost on social media. The young German fighter scored a huge win in the main event. His controversial post-fight celebration went viral, bringing him both fans and critics—but one thing’s for sure: people are watching. He was even invited to appear on the show by popular MMA journalist Ariel Helwani. He now boasts 167,000 Instagram followers, sharing content full of humor. What will he bring for his next walkout—and who will stand across from him? We’ll find out soon enough.</p><h2>GLORY TO THE WINNERS, RESPECT TO THE DEFEATED</h2><p>It’s never easy, but losses are part of the sport and must be dealt with. Saturday’s event saw several finishes and some razor-thin decisions. Rising talent <strong>Fedor Duric</strong> lost his undefeated record via split decision to the more experienced <strong>Bogdanovic</strong>. At the post-fight press conference, both fighters thanked each other for a tough battle that brought valuable experience to both sides.</p><p><strong>David Hošek</strong> celebrated a stunning comeback victory in the very first round. After submitting his opponent <strong>Stefanovic</strong>, a heated exchange followed—but the fighters quickly cleared the air and showed mutual respect right there in the cage. After the winner was announced, Aleksander even lifted “Spartan” Hošek onto his shoulders—a great display of sportsmanship.</p><p>For many, the surprise of the evening came from internet stars <strong>Uwe Schüder</strong> and <strong>Ediz Tasci</strong>, who proved they not only have the heart of fighters, but also wear that heart on their sleeve. After an intense trash-talk buildup, both came out swinging. It looked like Uwe would finish the fight early, but Ediz weathered the storm and celebrated a successful pro MMA debut. After the bout, all bad blood was gone, and both men enjoyed the moment together—a beautiful conclusion to the story of two German influencers turned warriors.</p><p></p><oktinstagramcomponent url="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIPG7frMR_S/"></oktinstagramcomponent>

But once inside the cage, it was all business. Max got Ilbay to the ground early and set the tone. Striking pressure, ground dominance – but Ilbay wouldn’t quit. Round two got even crazier – Ilbay landed bombs, defended takedowns, and almost turned things around. But Holzer stayed composed, got it back to the ground, and controlled.

Palokaj controlled the fight and rightfully took home the decision.</p><oktfightcomponent fightid="1140"></oktfightcomponent><h2>MONTAGNAC vs VOSGRÖNE</h2><p>Frederik Vosgröne once again showed why he’s such a unique force.
