The Tipsport Gamechanger tournament resumes at OKTAGON 74 as eight top middleweights compete for the stunning prize.

Europe's leading MMA promotion returns to Prague, Czechia, as they set up shop at the iconic Stvanice Stadium on Saturday for what promises to be a blockbuster event.

Cecilie Bolander defends her OKTAGON women's bantamweight title against Lucia Szabova in the card's headliner.

But before Bolander and Szabova step foot inside the cage, the Tipsport Gamechanger tournament takes centre stage, which includes a mouth-watering bout between champion Kerim Engizek and England's Mick Stanton, who is fighting out of Liverpool.

Engizek, who won the OKTAGON middleweight title last year, returns to action against Stanton, who called for the fight against the German star, in the pick of the tournament fights at OKTAGON 74.

It pits two of the top middleweights in Europe - expect fireworks.

Engizek established himself as one of the company's biggest names following his hard-fought victory over Patrik Kincl. As for Stanton, who won the middleweight title during his Cage Warriors spell, he is seeking to earn the biggest OKTAGON win of his career, having scored back-to-backs victories since joining the banner.

The three other tournament bouts see Dominik Humburger meet Mark Hulme, Krzysztof Jotko, formerly of the UFC, take on Marek Mazuch, not to mention Piotr Wawrzyniak vs. Hojat Khajevand.

The prize pot for the Tipsport Gamechanger tournament is a cool €1 million, with the winner set to earn a staggering six-figure payout.

Just eight middleweights remain as four will emerge from OKTAGON 74.
