Oktagon MMA kicked off its 2026 on Saturday with Oktagon 82 in Dusseldorf, Germany, as the Tipsport Gamechanger Middleweight Tournament came to a close.
A name familiar to UFC fans was found in that final, as Polish middleweight vet Krzysztof Jotko faced Kerim Engizek for the big prize. In a reserve bout kicking off the night’s main card, meanwhile, another veteran, David Zawada, took on Daniel Ligocki.
Oktagon 82’s co-main event had possible title implications for the promotion’s featherweight division. That fight found Gjoni Palokaj having won five straight under the Oktagon banner and seven overall; he was going up against a former Cage Warriors title challenger in James Hendin.
