The promotion, co-founded by Pavol Neruda and Ondrej Novotny, has grown remarkably, transforming from regional shows in the Czech Republic and Slovakia to a premier platform for European fighters. The event’s tagline, “Bigger Than Ever,” is more than just hype—OKTAGON 62 is set to rival some of the most iconic MMA events globally, and the fight card promises to deliver an unforgettable experience.
The Venue: A Legendary Setting
The event will take place at Deutsche Bank Park, home to Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt. This stadium, familiar to fans of international football, has hosted matches for the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championships. Now, it will be the battleground for some of MMA’s biggest stars. With ticket sales surging past 40,000 and the 60,000 mark within reach, the atmosphere will be electric, rivaling some of the largest events in MMA history, including PRIDE Final Conflict 2003 and UFC 243.
Headlining Fights: Clash of Champions
The main event of OKTAGON 62 will feature a highly anticipated rematch between two German MMA stars, Christian Eckerlin and Christian "The Kelt" Jungwirth. Eckerlin, dubbed the "King of Frankfurt," is a local hero whose presence in this iconic venue only heightens the stakes. His opponent, Jungwirth, hailing from Stuttgart, aims to spoil Eckerlin’s homecoming, as the two battle for supremacy in German MMA. Their first encounter was a controversial split decision, and fans are eager to see who will emerge as the true king of German MMA.
Another headliner is the middleweight title bout between defending champion Patrik Kincl and challenger Kerim Engizek. Kincl, riding a four-fight win streak, has been a dominant force in OKTAGON’s middleweight division. His opponent, Engizek, enters the bout with a staggering 14-fight win streak, making this clash one of the most highly anticipated matchups of the night. Engizek has made waves with his knockout power, and both fighters will be hungry to prove themselves on such a grand stage.
Fans will also witness Katharina Dalisda, another local star, defending her strawweight title. Dalisda, a product of the MMA Spirit Gym in Frankfurt, will face Mallory Martin in a battle that promises fireworks. With Dalisda’s home crowd behind her, this fight could solidify her as one of the top female fighters in Europe.
European MMA’s Rise to Prominence
OKTAGON 62 is more than just a fight card—it’s a statement about the rise of European MMA. While global promotions like the UFC have largely focused on markets like North America and Brazil, OKTAGON has carved out a space for itself by focusing on local talent and bringing European fighters into the spotlight. This event, with its scale and spectacle, underscores OKTAGON’s commitment to creating world-class MMA shows on European soil. The company’s success in selling out venues such as Prague’s O2 Arena and now Deutsche Bank Park signals a shift in the global MMA landscape.
A Night to Remember
In addition to the action inside the cage, the night will feature an array of entertainment, including a live concert. OKTAGON is known for its high-production value, and OKTAGON 62 will be no different, blending the intensity of MMA with a festival-like atmosphere that will keep fans on their feet.
This event is not just a milestone for the promotion but for European MMA as a whole. OKTAGON’s rapid ascent to hosting the largest event in European MMA history is a testament to the growing popularity of the sport across the continent. With a stacked card of championship fights and a crowd that will rival the largest in the sport’s history, OKTAGON 62 is set to be a night that no MMA fan will forget anytime soon.
As the MMA world turns its eyes to Frankfurt, the fighters will be ready to seize their moment. Whether it’s Eckerlin defending his home turf, Kincl and Engizek battling for middleweight glory, or Dalisda representing the next generation of female fighters, OKTAGON 62 will deliver on its promise of being “Bigger Than Ever”​
