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.

Fans are buzzing with anticipation for this showdown! Polarizing superstar Shem Rock, known for his ten first-round victories, makes his highly anticipated return to the cage.

Tamerlan Dulatov, the rising phenom who recently scored the fastest submission win in the organization's history in just 16 seconds, is primed and ready for action.

Jakub Dohnal, the renowned Brno workhorse with 250 fights under his belt in six different fighting disciplines, must survive his opponent's early onslaught. He faces Wanderley Junior, a champion in five organizations and a Brazilian dynamo known for his distinctive combos.
