OKTAGON 93 delivered a high-octane combat sports spectacle in Brno, Czech Republic, on September 12, 2026. The event, held at the Winning Group Arena, saw a return to one of OKTAGON’s most iconic venues, where 17 previous events had been held, including championship finals and underground tournaments. The main event featured a featherweight showdown between Radek Roušal and Jonas Mågård, According to OKTAGON, Roušal entered with a 4-fight finish streak, while Mågård, a former two-time OKTAGON champion, was ranked #60 in the world.

Key Fights and Fighter Comebacks

Andrej Kalašnik made a highly anticipated comeback at middleweight after a one-year hiatus — Known as “Vagabund,” Kalašnik faced Kennedy Rayomba, a fighter known for ending matches quickly. Rayomba’s aggressive, inside-the-distance style was expected to test Kalašnik, who had previously challenged for the OKTAGON title, but the bout was seen as a step toward re-establishing Kalašnik’s relevance in the organization.

Another standout match was between Josef Hála and Rado Úškrt under “Stand and Bang” rules. Hála, a world champion in bare-knuckle boxing, had already made a strong impression in OKTAGON with a first-round finish. Úškrt, nicknamed for his formidable punches, brought a reputation for requiring a gun license to handle his striking. Their clash was billed as a harsh striking war between two of the most feared punchers in the organization.

International and Technical Highlights

The event also featured Vladimir Lengál, a fighter known for his highlight-reel knockouts, against German lightweight Maurice Adorf; Lengál’s aggressive style and high-octane finishes were expected to draw attention, especially given his reputation for ending fights early.

Elite grappling was on display in the co-main event between Kuba Dohnal and Vojto Barborík. Dohnal, a workhorse from Brno, needed to prove his ability to compete at the highest level of MMA, while Barborík, a Slovak fighter with a reputation as a submission specialist, posed a serious threat.

The action streamed live on OKTAGON.tv starting at 12:00PM ET, 9AM PT, and in Germany, RTL+ broadcast the event beginning at 17:25 local time, According to Cageside Press, the full results included wins for Rousal and Kalašnik, with additional bouts such as Daniel Ligocki vs. Brajan Przysiwek and Vojtech Garba vs. Robert Lau.

Broader Implications and Future Plans

According to MARCA, OKTAGON has expanded its reach beyond the Czech Republic, and the organization announced plans for a major event on September 26, 2026, in Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park, with 60,000 fans expected to attend. This event, broadcast via DAZN, marked OKTAGON’s first foray into a major European football stadium and was intended to bring its high-octane combat sports to a broader international audience.

Pavol Neruda, OKTAGON’s cofounder, emphasized the significance of the partnership with DAZN: “This alliance means opening the doors of OKTAGON to millions of fans around the world,” he said. The collaboration also included OKTAGON 100 in Prague on December 29, 2026, which will celebrate the organization’s 10th anniversary with a star-studded card and tributes to key moments in its history.
