This weekend isn’t just about UFC Atlanta — over in Prague, OKTAGON MMA is throwing down with OKTAGON 72, live from the electric 19,000-seat Fortuna Arena. One of the biggest cards in European MMA this year? It’s got a real case.
The main event? A trilogy years in the making. Karlos Vemola defends his light heavyweight belt against rival Attila Vegh, with the series tied 1–1. Vegh shocked Vemola with a KO in their first meeting; Vemola evened it up in the rematch. Now it’s time for the decider — and there’s real heat behind this one.
In the co-main, former UFC vet Makhmud Muradov steps in to challenge OKTAGON middleweight champ Patrik Kincl for interim gold. Both can crack. Both are slick on the feet. You know the drill — this one could end violently.
But OKTAGON 72 is more than just two big fights. It’s a snapshot of what Czech and Slovak MMA has grown into — fast, flashy, and full of legit talent. The UFC might still be the global king, but OKTAGON’s making waves with its big-time venues, slick production, and matchups that matter to the fans watching live. It’s not hype — it’s momentum.
OKTAGON 72 goes down Saturday, June 14 at 5 PM ET, streaming on OKTAGON.TV. Whether you’re following old grudges or eyeing breakout stars, this one’s worth your time.
