In the main event, “The King of Germany” Christian Eckerlin looks to defend home turf in a welterweight showdown against “The Prince of Bratislava” Robert Pukač. It’s a clash of national pride as the German fan favorite takes on the seasoned Slovakian in a high-stakes headliner.
Originally scheduled as a flyweight title fight, the co-main event lost its championship status after Beno Adamia missed weight. With Adamia no longer eligible to retain the belt, it’s now Zhalgas Zhumagulov who enters as the only fighter capable of leaving with gold.
In the heavyweight co-feature, knockout artist Adam Pałasz squares off against Bellator veteran Kasim Aras in what promises to be a fan-friendly slugfest. Meanwhile, former welterweight champion Kaik Brito welcomes dangerous newcomer Joilton Lutterbach to OKTAGON in a bout that could steal the show.
Elsewhere on the card, German UFC veterans Niklas Stolze and Jessin Ayari go head-to-head in a welterweight clash sure to resonate with the Hamburg crowd. Also at 135 pounds, former bantamweight champion Jonas “Shark” Mågård aims to climb back into title contention when he faces Berlin native Farbod Iran Nezhad.
