The winner of the Tipsport ‘Gamechanger’ tournament will walk away with a stunning prize.
OKTAGON MMA are offering fighters the chance at Europe’s most lucrative prize pot in MMA, with four of the eight stars left in the tournament competing in Saturday’s blockbuster card.
OKTAGON 58 is just days away as an explosive rematch between Karlos Vemola and Attila Vegh headlines a stacked card from Prague’s Eden Arena, with a bumper crowd of 27,000 expected.
The €1 million (£852,000) Tipsport ‘Gamechanger’ lightweight tournament also takes centre stage as two massive quarter-final match-ups are slated – and the prize money is huge.
Akonne Wanliss, who trains out of Birmingham’s famed Team Renegade Gym, meets Mateusz Legierski while Mago Machaev faces Acoidan Duque, with all the remaining fighters guaranteed to make at least €40,000 (£34,000) each.
