European MMA legend Ivan Buchinger returns to action on Saturday at Oktagon 63, taking on a rising talent in Hafeni Nafuka.
The fight, billed as a “Battle of Generations,” is set for a 161lb catchweight, and follows a co-headliner between former welterweight title challengers Mate Kertesz and UFC vet Leandro Silva. That fight is also set for a catchweight, at 176lbs, due to being booked just three weeks or so out from the card.
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, a former UFC flyweight whose run with that promotion was marred by a string of split decisions that didn’t go his way, controversally so, also returns to action, looking for his third straight victory.
