Diakiese (18-8), who went 8-7 in the UFC from 2016 to 2023 and left the promotion off a win, will face Fedor Duric (9-1) at Oktagon 94 on September 26, 2026 at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany. That’s a stadium show, capacity 60,000, and expected to be another big one for the European promotion.

Oktagon officials announced the booking in a press release issued on Monday.

Posting a 1-1 record since leaving the UFC, Diakiese will be looking to bounce back from a loss to Gadzhi Rabadanov in the PFL World Tournament last April. Eliminated from the grand prix, Diakiese did not get another fight with the promotion (he had fought for Bellator prior, as part of the PFL-run “Bellator Champions Series”). Rabadanov, meanwhile, made it to the final, eventually losing to Alfie Davis.

Diakiese is a former BAMMA champ, dating to his career prior to the UFC.

Serbian-born Duric now calls Germany home, and will no doubt have the crowd on his side come September. He’s won his last two bouts in Oktagon, and is 3-1 overall with the promotion.

No other bookings were announced for Oktagon 94 on Monday, but both Christian Eckerlin and Max Coga are expected to compete at the event.
