The year-end show for oktagon mma isn’t trying to be “good for Europe.” It’s aiming straight at world level. OKTAGON 81: Fleury vs. Buday lands in Prague’s O2 Arena on December 28, and it’s built around two title fights that instantly raise the stakes for the entire roster.
Two title fights that feel bigger than “regional MMA”
The headline is the heavyweight championship clash between Fight: Buday vs. Fleury, a matchup that screams experience vs. momentum and looks like it could swing on one big moment. The co-main brings a different kind of tension: Fight: Dvořák vs. Zhumagulov, where elite MMA fundamentals and veteran composure tend to matter more than chaos.
And that’s what makes this card feel “premium.” It’s not just that the matchups are good — it’s that the names involved have been tested at a level where mistakes get punished instantly.
Style clashes everywhere, not just at the top
The grudge-and-revenge lane
If you want the fight with the most emotional fuel, start with Fight: Kincl vs. Pukač. These are the kinds of matchups that can flip a division overnight: one guy chasing a statement, the other protecting status with everything on the line.
“Can’t-miss” matchups for the highlight hunters
Keep an eye on the speed and timing battles in Fight: Mågård vs. Silva, and the heavyweight collision of Fight: Škvor vs. Vespaziani. If you’re looking for that “one clean shot changes everything” energy, both fit.
Then there are the undercard fights that quietly matter a lot for the next wave: Fight: Raška vs. Tóth and Fight: Khol vs. Vach have serious “winner gets pushed” vibes. The same goes for Fight: Hutyra vs. Kováč and Fight: Skowyra vs. Klevets, where a strong performance can change someone’s 2026 fast.
