Bloody Brooch fell with Eckerlin. Both Kohout and Keita celebrated at the Octagon in Frankfurt

A total of two Czechs presented themselves in Germany. In addition to Brož, there is also Matouš Kohout, a representative of the Prague gym Gorila MMA. Last year, he moved from lightweight to welterweight (up to 77 kg), defeated Robo Pukač and now showed himself with a confident performance. He enjoyed the match against the native Islam Khapilaev, a debutant in the Octagon.

Just the beginning… After a minute and a half, the German knocked him down with a takedown and then pinned him on the mesh. The judges awarded the first round to Khapilaev, but in the next two the Czech fighter dominated. In the stance and on the mesh.

Kicks, elbows, knees, shots to the ribs. Muay Thai Textbook. Punches? 153:63 for Rooster. Who will he want to seduce next?

Losene Keita, the lightweight champion of the Octagon, broke a sweat. In the last quarter-final of the Tipsport Gamechanger lightweight pyramid (up to 70 kg), he did not perform as we are used to. No frenzied KOs, no dances after the win, he barely swung onto the net and unfurled the Belgian flag.

He won the first two rounds against Dutchman Agy Sardari on points, but the final? He took a series of hard blows, staggered, panting. However, he did not allow a knockout, he showed the will of the champion. “Of course, it wasn’t a Keita show, my opponent flooded me,” he admitted. And in the semi-finals of the Gamechanger, tough guy Bogdanović awaits him.

Pavol Langer prepared a breathtaking performance for the fans. He was close, his opponent Marc Doussis was rolling, the Slovak was bleeding. But suddenly he perked up. A knee, a couple of hammers and done. A bonus of 15 thousand for the performance of the evening? Quite possibly.

“I enjoyed it. Especially when the last time I lost to Karlos Vémola after only seven seconds. And since Mother’s Day is in a week, I would like to dedicate this win to my mother and also to my wife, the mother of my son Theo,” said the battered Slovak giant into the microphone.

Mate Sanikidze claimed his first loss in the Octagon, a very surprising one. He didn’t even really hit himself, he just had to bite hard wrestling and grappling from his friend Farbod Nezhad, a German with Iranian roots. A clear win on points. The ferocious hitter didn’t let him into the game at all, the Georgian has a lot to think about.

At the same time, domestic favorite Stephan Puetz bid farewell to his career in a packed Festhalle. The 36-year-old “Terminator” put his gloves on the ground and said after a moving speech: “I will continue to be a part of the Octagon, see you in the fall right here in Frankfurt, but in the football stadium.”

Let us remind you that Oktagon 62 takes place in Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park arena on October 12. And over 50,000 spectators are expected.
