A European MMA giant lands in the Czech capital on Saturday as OKTAGON MMA stages its first Štvanice open-air event in two years. The picturesque Prague venue will set the stage for a championship showdown and all four quarterfinals of the €1 million Tipsport Gamechanger middleweight tournament.
In the main event, bantamweight champion Cecilie Bolander (4-1) aims to make her first title defense against unbeaten challenger Lucia Szabová (9-0). Bolander shocked the division last year when she claimed the belt in just her fifth pro bout, avenging her only career defeat by dethroning UFC veteran Lucie Pudilová. But Szabová, known as the “Silent Killer,” has spent six years carving a path to the top and isn’t about to watch her prize go elsewhere. With both women supremely confident, expect a tense battle for divisional supremacy.
