Clashes of Slovak MMA Titans in Bratislava

At Ondrej Nepela Winter Stadium – Tipos Arena, countless explosive MMA battles have taken place and etched themselves among the greatest fights in OKTAGON history. The electrifying atmosphere created by Slovak fans always pushes fighters to incredible performances. And on June 6, 2026, it will be no different!

A clash of champions and one of the highest-level fights in OKTAGON history. Bantamweight king and world #63 Severino welcomes flyweight world #24 and two-division champion Zhumagulov, who is moving up with one clear mission – to claim a second throne and become the first-ever double champion in OKTAGON history across the flyweight and bantamweight divisions.

A fight that will shake Bratislava! Two-time heavyweight title challenger and world #67 Lazar Todev continues his march toward another title shot. After victories over two UFC veterans, he now faces another one – Slovak star, world #54 heavyweight and former OKTAGON champion Martin Buday, who earned 7 wins in the UFC. Will Todev secure the biggest win of his career, or will Buday stop his momentum?

“The Prince of Bratislava” Pukač returns to home soil after finishing Kozma and Eckerlin, this time against undefeated Irish striker Manning, who holds a terrifying record with all 6 victories coming by finish.

Former lightweight champion and former welterweight title challenger Paradeiser begins another run toward title contention. Standing opposite him will be four-organization champion and elite finisher Jack Grant, who has recorded 19 finishes in 20 victories (9 first-round KOs and 10 submissions).

A heated Czech-Slovak derby and stylistic clash born from a brutally sharp callout. “The Germans’ Executioner” Bartl, owner of 11 first-round KOs, sent a clear message to Wittner – he plans to end his career! But the elite Slovak grappler, with 8 first-round submissions, has different plans: silence every doubter, especially Bartl himself.

A showdown between uncompromising tough guys and rivals from OKTAGON Challenge 2 that promises absolute chaos – Slovak savage Úškrt vs. the toughest Czech veterinarian Raška.

“Bomby” Ryšavý, an OKTAGON veteran with 21 fights in the organization, answered the challenge after finishing Ilbay and accepted the callout from Austrian prospect Schordje, who has been hunting him for quite some time.

WKU world champion, WMC European champion and Underground finalist Marco Novák will defend Slovak pride on home soil against De Paepe, champion of two Belgian organizations, who already owns wins over Ryšavý and Paulus.

Fan-favorite flyweight #1 Smolková will also be in action.

The highly anticipated celebrity showdown under the Celebrity Series project is also set to take place.
Famous Slovak DJ and producer Yaksha faces Bachelor star Rasťo Zvara from the reality show Ruža pre nevestu. Both competitors have experience in combat sports. Yaksha previously competed in Muay Thai, while Zvara mainly trains BJJ (brown belt) and has also competed in boxing.
