🇨🇿 ROUŠAL (5-2) vs. FRY (5-3) 🏴
…When the cage turns into a shooting range! 💥
Roušal secured his 2nd straight KO this summer by knocking out Hamerski in the 2nd round. He’s starting to unleash what he does best – finishing fights! 👊 The bad boy from Brno, also known for his epic walkouts, is one of the best Czech strikers and is relentlessly working on his transition to an all-around MMA fighter. But his core foundations are undeniable! He loves slugfests and bombs in the stand-up 🪓💣, which he hypes up with his opponents starting at the staredowns. His fights launch fans out of their seats 🚀, especially at home in Brno, where he plans to set off his dynamite! 🧨 Plus, he’ll know the right approach from his brother-in-battle, Lengál...
With a 100% first-round finish rate, Fry will undoubtedly be one of the toughest opponents Roušal has faced in the cage. The Englishman is coming off tough bouts against the star Holzer and Lengál—and that’s invaluable experience. 💡 In his OKTAGON debut, he defeated striker Ilbay, taking him to submission in the 1st round and handing him the first loss of his career. 🔥 Fry also loves a good shootout as much as Roušal, proven by his 4️⃣ first-round KOs, including two in just 39 and 42 seconds. He also has 1️⃣5️⃣ amateur fights and several championship belts. Will he shut down 🌬 Roušal in front of his home crowd?
We return to Brno on November 1st. You have to be there!

On her sensational run, the cage beauty has already destroyed all 3️⃣ of her opponents by KO, including the experienced Gumienna. ⚡ Will she get her 4th straight finish? 💣

Lehner also brings experience from Bellator, bare-knuckle boxing 👊 and traditional boxing ️🥊, so she knows how to trade shots too. With 1️⃣6️⃣ pro MMA fights, she could be a major threat to Dalaslan!

🇸🇰 RYŠAVÝ (14-9) vs. PAEPE (13-6) 🇧🇪
Bomby ⚔ Hitman
Including his Challenge matches, Ryšavý’s fight in Bratislava will be his milestone 20th battle in OKTAGON. This staple fighter had one of the most important fights of his career in April against Black-Della, a multi-time champion of two German organizations. For that bout, 💣 “Bomby” trained at 120% to ignite a new engine. ⚙️ He choked out Black-Della in the 2nd round, traditionally chugged his victory beer 🍺 on the cage beam, and with 7️⃣ KOs and 5️⃣ submissions, he sets his sights on the Belgian champ to settle who the more well-rounded striker is.
A man who doesn’t pick and choose and wants to fight as much as possible! Ayton De Paepe, a fierce, multi-time champion 👑 of two Belgian organizations, is jumping into this fight just 10 days before the tournament and only 14 days after his bout with Hendin at OKTAGON 76. Back in June at Eden, he also took a fight on four days' notice and still defeated Paulus. ✊ “Hitman” possesses a versatile style, which has earned him 3️⃣ KOs and 3️⃣ submissions. Will he take the scalp of another Slovakian fighter in Bratislava?
Will the fight go to the ground, or are we in for a wild stand-up shootout?
The sky above Bratislava is going to flash! ⚡ October 4th, OKTAGON 77 at the Tipos Arena. Tickets available at oktagonmma.com/en/events/oktagon-77-bratislava/?ev… 🎫

🇸🇰 #1 SMOLKOVÁ (6-3) vs. ARAUJO (3-2) 🇧🇷
She once dreamed of fighting in OKTAGON. Now she’s the #1 in the division, ranked #46 in the world, and she’s on fire! 👊💣 Rising star and Slovak fan-favorite Veronika Smolková sits at the top of the flyweight division after her win over Álvarez, and the heat is rising! 🔥 She lives and breathes MMA, riding a 4️⃣-fight win streak with 3️⃣ finishes, and believes a title shot is within reach.
In the opposite corner flying in from Brazil is just 19 years old Ana Carolina “Ksonha” Araujo (3-2), representing Super Herois Artes Marciais. 🇧🇷 Even as a newcomer, she’s stepped into a pro fight five times and proved she can end fights before the bell or grind out a decision. An athletic, relentless striker with an aggressive style, she’s coming to Bratislava to prove her worth and derail the Slovak star’s rise.
Will Smolková extend her streak to four in a row, or will the young Brazilian add red mark to Veronika’s record?
