Oktagon MMA on Saturday brings together another explosive offering of mixed martial arts action when Oktagon 55 goes down at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle in Stuttgart, Germany. The highly anticipated event features a stacked fight card headlined by a thrilling rematch in the welterweight division, as Christian Jungwirth locks horns with Robert Pukac. “The Prince of Bratislava” plans on avenging the defeat he suffered at the hands of Jungwirth two years ago.
The card also features a pivotal encounter in the light heavyweight division, as No. 4-ranked Alexander Poppeck squares off against Jeremy Kimball. The bout has all the makings of an explosive showdown: Poppeck has scripted nine knockout wins in his career, and Kimball enters the fray with 14 KOs to his credit. Meanwhile, undefeated bantamweight prospect Lucia Szabova returns to the cage after a three-year hiatus to take on Polish star Roza Gumienna.
