OKTAGON 71: POPPECK VS. LANGER

The Executioners' Revenge

On May 17th in Munich, Germany, spectators will witness a night filled with emotion, relentless combat, and pivotal moments in the careers of these cage warriors. The fight card is stacked with big names from the OKTAGON MMA organization, local heroes and rising stars.

The light-heavyweight executioner rematch takes center stage. In Munich, local hero "Ironside" Poppeck, ranked number 73 in the world and OKTAGON's number two light-heavyweight, is ready to unleash an even fiercer beast within. Fueled by a burning desire for revenge, he aims to settle the score against Langer, the current number three in the division and the top Slovakian light-heavyweight. Langer claimed the interim title in 2023 by defeating Poppeck and is determined to prove his triumph was no fluke.

“The Ostrava Express” Mudroch is looking to score another quick finish to add to the six wins already on his record, all of which came in the first round! But he’ll be going up against a more experienced striker, Aslaner, who defeated Tichota in December.

A bout that has every fan talking! Mr. Controversial Shem Rock has 10 first-round wins under his belt! But he’ll be put to the test by mega talent “Prince of Persia” Khodzhaev, who boasts experience from the ONE and UAE Warriors promotions.

Brno’s renowned tough guy Kuba Dohnal has competed in 250 fights in 6 different combat disciplines, but he’ll have to deal with extreme pressure from the opening seconds of the fight as he takes on a champion of 5 organizations, the explosive Brazilian with remarkable combinations Wanderley Junior.

At last, “Gameover” Polívka returns to the cage for the first time in 18 months to unload his lethal weapons. And he’ll be going to war against the highly dangerous champion of one of the Turkish organizations, Harun “The Turkish Airline” Uzun, who claimed all 5 of his wins in the first round.

A tough test awaits IMMAF multiple world champion Gabal, who’s in truly incredible shape and is out to claim his third consecutive win. But the undefeated Elias Jakobi leaves no stone unturned in the cage and crushed all four of his opponents before the limit.

Jan Malach is preparing for his tenth bout in the OKTAGON cage. But super talent Brajshori, who has 30 fewer fights on his record but is unafraid to take anyone on, is out to collect Malach’s scalp!

Two declared enemies finally go head-to-head! Razor-sharp German warrior Arijan Topallaj with all 7 of his wins claimed in the first-round. And in the other corner, with 3 consecutive wins, Irish showman Frimpong, who knows how to get inside all of his opponents’ heads.

A battle between two of Europe’s greatest lightweight talents! “The Namibian Nightmare” Nafuka, who at just 22 years old dared to take on Buchinger at short notice. And taking him on, the happy-go-lucky and still undefeated champion of OKTAGON Challenge England vs. Ireland, Staines, who’s on a 5-fight win streak and has the scalps of Cigánik and Tichota under his belt.

In his most recent appearance, rising star Tamerlan Dulatov scored the fastest submission in the history of the organization in just 16 seconds, and now he wants to take down the more experienced grappling specialist Binyet.

And that’s not all! You’ll also see the 6,6 feet-tall giant Patrick Vespaziani, who proved in his last bout that he is capable of sending shockwaves across the entire heavyweight division thanks to his immense power, and Gökhan Aksu, a champion of 2 Austrian organizations who’s currently enjoying a 4-fight win streak!

A once-in-a-lifetime rollercoaster of emotions, suspense, adrenaline, and the arrival of new heroes. Be there on 17.05. and experience OKTAGON 71.
