On Saturday, Nov. 22, OKTAGON hosted OKTAGON 80, live from the SAP Garden in Munich, Germany. The main event was Mateusz Legierski vs. Attila Korkmaz for the vacant lightweight title. The belt was vacated when Losene Keita signed with the UFC to fight Patricio Pitbull Freire, only to badly miss weight and lose the opportunity.
Legierski put a beating on the colourful and popular Korkmaz (who came to the ring in full Dragonball Z garb). The Pole, who lost to Keita last year, is now 13-2 on his career.
The headlines for this event were scooped by Henrique Madureira, though. He invoked Toby Imada in scoring an inverted triangle on Eriglent Prizreni on the prelims.
Other notable moments on this card included Gokhan Aksu sleeping Denis Frimpong. Frimpong had been on a five fight winning streak and took this fight despite fighting only in September. Aksu is now 3-0 in OKTAGON with all finishes.
Felix Klinkhammer impressed over the weekend, too. He scored a kneebar to improve his record to 11-0 (eight submissions).
The event aired live on Oktagon.tv starting at 12 p.m. ET. Check below for full results.
