SHOWDOWN: Kerim Engizek vs. Mick Stanton – OKTAGON 74’s Million-Euro Clash

OKTAGON MMA is back in Prague on August 9 for OKTAGON 74, and the middleweight bracket just got real. At the top, Germany’s unbeaten striker Kerim Engizek collides with England’s gritty veteran Mick Stanton — a matchup that could shake the whole tournament.

Engizek has racked up 15 straight wins with precision and power, making him one of Europe’s most feared middleweights. Stanton, never one to bite his tongue, has been dismissing Engizek as “the easiest opponent in the tournament,” setting up a main event loaded with tension and bad blood.

The fight is part of the €1 million Tipsport Gamechanger tournament — meaning every punch, every round, every decision could change careers. A win here moves one man into the semifinals and a step closer to life‑altering prize money.

The undercard is just as sharp. Heavyweight prospect Igor da Silva vs. Jack Cartwright brings raw power, while bantamweight contenders Lucia Szabová vs. Cecilie Bolander could steal the spotlight with pace and technique.

OKTAGON 74 isn’t just another event — it’s the point in the tournament where stories start to stick. Engizek’s streak, Stanton’s grind, and a million‑euro prize hanging over it all. This one’s going to get messy, in the best way possible.
