So, get this. Saturday night was wild! Oktagon MMA announced their next big thing, and they’re taking the whole scene by storm—those places like Deutsche Bank Park, Fortuna Arena, and now Štvanice are practically their playgrounds. And guess what? It’s all headlined by Cecile Bolander vs. Lucia Szabova. Sounds intense, right? And just to spice things up, they’ve got the Tipsport Gamechanger Quarter-Finals thrown in there too.
You know, Oktagon 74 is shaping up to be a monster event. There was Oktagon 72, which was already a hit last weekend, but now—boom—it’s like Oktagon MMA decided to one-up themselves. There’s another title fight in there somewhere too. Matej Penaz is facing off against Piotr Wawrzyniak, Vlasto Cepo versus Krzysztof Jotko, Dominik Humburger battling Mark Hulme, and Kerim Engizek with Mick Stanton. It’s like a buffet of fights.
By the way, Štvanice isn’t just any place. It’s a tennis stadium in Prague that can pack in about 15,000 fans. Last July, Oktagon sold this place out, and now they’re looking at their fourth stadium sellout in just over a year. Dana White might not be a fan of open-air events—something about the weather, yada yada—but Oktagon’s proving it’s a vibe. Seriously, open-air? Summer? It’s all about cold beers and chaotic matches. Sounds like the perfect Saturday.
Oh, and there’s this image that paints a thousand words: 60,000 in attendance! Imagine that buzz. Oktagon’s not just making waves, they’re practically tsunamis in the MMA world.
Have I mentioned how Oktagon’s throwing punches at the usual MMA conventions? All these big boxing venues—like Wembley and Allegiant Stadium—usually hog the spotlight. But now, open-air is catching on. Kind of makes me wonder, will this push the UFC or PFL to think bigger too? Like, really bigger?
Look at Karlos Vemola and Attila Vegh—they’ve practically put on a show worth talking about with their trilogy, drawing in the Czech and Slovak crowds. And the “King of Germany” Christian Eckerlin? He pulls in quite the crew in Germany. Oktagon just keeps proving that they’ve got something special cooking. Maybe it’s a trend… or maybe they’re just that good at setting the bar. Who knows, right?
