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.

And the winner of the tournament will walk away with a cool €330,000 (£281,000).

The remaining quarter-final bouts are scheduled to take place at OKTAGON 59 on July 20, featuring two of the promotion's biggest stars in Losene Keita and Ronald Paradeiser.

Pavol Neruda, OKTAGON MMA co-owner, said: "We want to reward our fighters with the pay that they deserve.

"The €1 million prize pot for the Gamechanger has given the 16 competing fighters the chance to earn money, as well as make history by winning the tournament.

"We want to create heroes with this tournament, but our fighters' health is the most important thing, and financial rewards are important."
