The first year on the title fight scene icing on the last gala of the year. Furthermore, the RFA organization planned the battle between Václav Sivák, undefeated in the professional ring, and confident challenger Patrik Záděra for the belt in the category up to 66 kilograms under K-1 rules less than two weeks before the start. Even so, there was a lot going on between the two actors, with confident statements and clear visions of the end of the game flying through the air.
Both also promised an attractive show, which they managed to deliver to the letter. The title battle offered all four rounds on the schedule and spectators certainly did not regret a single second. Both Sivák and Záděra delivered one blow after another, and many must have wondered how long one or the other would be able to stand.
In the third round, it also looked like an exhibition KO of the undefeated Sivák. The swiftly executed kick landed squarely on Záděr’s head, who did not take cover and fell to the ground after the cannonball. End? In any case! The self-confident striker knocked himself out and kept up with the match favorite in the next few minutes. Perhaps surprisingly balanced.

But there could only be one winner, Sivak could enjoy the title after the final announcement. “He’s carried enough. You could feel the weight, he was heavier than me. I don’t want to make excuses, he was heavier and the weight of him was taking off me,” said the champion. “I wanted to end it. Luckily I managed to win at least on points,” he added.
Miroslav Brož, who had switched opponents five times before the tournament, was the big favourite, and in the end there was nothing left but to nod to Michal Duba’s challenge. In short, nothing was expected other than the victory of the first nominee. But the former fighter of the rival Oktagon MMA organization didn’t have it easy, the opponent crushed him with constant pressure and effort to take the fight to the ground. The exhausted Brož was able to recover and in the second round was able to finish off his opponent after a hard ground and strike.
The talented Tadeáš Růžička’s fight didn’t last long and as the heavy favorite he welcomed Polish strength in the form of Denis Makowský into the cage. The Czech striker set the pace from the start and it was only a matter of time before he was at his best. The opponent was able to hold out for less than a minute, after which an uncompromising attack did not stop at the goal and was counted for the first time. The insatiable Růžička playfully took advantage of this, once again entered the shaken opponent and, after two more falls to the ground, the game was painted. Finished in 1:58! And other plans of the Czech hope? Battle for the title!
Pavel Šach also behaved cool, taking the twenty-eighth victory in his professional career. The fight with the Pole Kaminski offered the expected tough shootout, which could only be accompanied by three full rounds with a big surprise. Finally, after the first count of the opponent in the first five minutes, the Czech striker entered the next offensive pass and encouraged himself and the coaching team with uncompromising grenades.
