This end of the year seems somewhat cursed for MMA. After the injury of Jiří Procházka, Karlos Vémola and then Patrik Kincl also dropped out of the game. It was these names that were supposed to represent the absolute match highlights of this December. Czech samurai on the world stage, great rivals at home. But it didn’t happen. In addition, the Octagon 38 tournament was accompanied by more complications and canceled duels. Even so, the fans in the sold-out O2 arena have something to look forward to today.

However, fans of the Octagon can also look forward to interesting foreign names, such as the undefeated Belgian shooter Losene Keita, or the French tough guys Jorick Montagnac and Alex Lohoré.
However, the main match of the evening will be handled by the experienced 31-year-old Czech bantamweight fighter Filip Macek, who will take on Gustav Lopéz, who is two years older.
