OKTAGON MMA continued to establish themselves as the No.1 promotion in Europe with an epic event from Prague's Eden Arena last night.
Co-founders Ondrej Novotny and Pavol Neruda put on a stunning event as MMA fans were treated to a sensational OKTAGON 58 card.
Hometown favourite Karlos Vemola, who enjoyed a spell in the UFC, beat Attila Vegh to defend his OKTAGON light-heavyweight title.
Dubbed as 'The Rematch of the Century', Vemola exacted revenge in what could be his final outing as a professional MMA fighter.

Elsewhere on the card, Ion Sordu and Marek Mazuch claimed devastating first-round finishes in their respective main-card bouts.
Liverpool star Shem Rock, who is one of OKTAGON's biggest stars, opened the main-card with a slick first-round submission over rival Jaroslav Pokorny.
And Mateusz Legierski and Acoidan Duque advanced to the semi-finals of OKTAGON MMA's 'Tipsport' Gamechanger lightweight tournament as a huge prize pot is on offer.
From the quality of the fights to the extraordinary in-house production, which included a remarkable firework display, OKTAGON 58 was a rousing success as the promotion continued to enhance their stellar reputation.
