The OKTAGON MMA organization presents its faces to us regularly so that we have a chance to build a relationship with them, but even so there are still interesting things that we don’t know. OKTAGON focused on them in your blog.
The rivalry continues? The Clash star talks about an unpleasant encounter with Brichta
BUKI AND MARTIAL SPORTS? NOT FOR ANYTHING!
Today, an experienced greaser who will start his 53rd game in a few weeks. It’s hard to believe that there were times when Ivan Buchinger he was running away from training! When his dad signed him up for Greco-Roman wrestling as a little boy, Ivan hated training. He secretly ran away from them and did everything to avoid them. Fortunately for us, he eventually found his way to combat sports.
FROM AN OBESOUS BAKER TO A SPORTS STAR
Karol the Red today he delivers his famous bombs in the cage, but his path to top sport was not easy. Years ago, he made a living as a baker and adored sweet pastries in bulk. He ate his way up to almost 100 kilos and saw no motivation. His life was completely changed by coach Attila Végh, who was able to awaken new motivation in him and lead him to a stellar career. It’s no wonder that Karol even had Attila tattooed – he will never forget what he did for him in his life.
HAS BEATEN LUKE BARNETT, NOW GOES FOR MURADOV
Scott Askham is a name we could write a whole book about. UFC seasoned, KSW belt holder, former world #12 middleweight… But what you may not know is that in addition to names like Khalidov or Materla, he also had Luke Barnatt, OCTAGON’s commentator, in the cage! He beat him on points, but we believe that Luke has already forgiven him and in the commentary of the huge duel Muradov vs. As always, Askham will be completely professional.
AJŤÁK BY DAY, FIGHTER IN THE EVENING
A fan favorite Attila Korkmaz earned his spot on the Lucky Loser ballot for the second time. He shines not only in the cage, but also in mathematics, which has been his great hobby since childhood. It is therefore not surprising that, in addition to MMA, he also decided on a career in IT. He combines eight-hour shifts with full preparation, and we tip our hats to him!
KALAŠNIK’S FATEFUL NEW YEAR’S EVE
It’s a scene like a movie. Andrei Kalashnik he is sitting at the bar drinking his umpteenth drink. It’s New Year’s Eve, but he doesn’t feel like celebrating. He is fed up with his wrestling career in free wrestling, where he is not able to advance as much as he would like. The search for sponsors, the preparation, the difficult conditions… it seems pointless. He suddenly sees an acquaintance from high school on the television playing in the pub. It is 2015 and Jiří Procházka is fighting in the UFC, where he gradually becomes a big star. The fire ignites and Kalashnik comes to the JETSAAM Gym for his first training the very next week. And how did it go? You probably already know that. Fate or chance, we’ll leave that up to you.
IN A CAGE LIKE ON A CHESSBOARD
You must have noticed that Spit Press he is the type of fighter who seems to keep everything cool. Not to mention, he’s a big fan of chess and in cages he looks like he’s thinking 10 moves ahead. If you don’t feel like fighting in MMA, you can challenge the Georgian fighter to chess. We are afraid that he will not be one of the easiest opponents there either.
MY NEIGHBOR TYSON FURY
What would your life be like if Tyson Fury lived five minutes away? You might also become an excellent wrestler like Jack Cartwright. He grew up next to the boxing legend and when he saw Fury training in a nearby gym, he decided to try boxing as well. She thus began a love story between combat sports and Jack, who even sparred several times with Tyson’s cousin.
STRONGMAN FROM THE HARBOR
What does one of Europe’s best lightweights do outside the cage? Acoidan Duke surprised fans not only with his performances in this year’s Tipsport Gamechanger, where he eliminated several favorites. Perhaps you wouldn’t even expect him in the port of Las Palmas, where he moors ships as an experienced strongman. You won’t get lost with this fighter.
