On Saturday, Feb. 14, OKTAGON hosted OKTAGON 84, live from the Ostravar Arena in Ostrava, Czechia. The main event this night was for the vacant OKTAGON welterweight title. The belt was shelved after champion ‘Dracula’ Ion Surdu missed weight for his title defense against Andrej Kalasnik in November. He won that fight, meaning the belt remained vacant.
Surdu was not given the chance to immediately contest for that belt again, though. Instead former champion Kaik Brito (who lost to Surdu by head kick in 2024) and Ronald Paradeiser were given that opportunity.
And it was Brito who would claim the belt, for the second time in his career, after he knocked out Paradeiser in the third round with a spinning backfist. The 28 year-old Brazilian vacated the title the first time he had it, so he could compete on Contender Series (where he lost to Oban Elliott). He’s 19-6 as a pro now.
In the co-main event David Kozma gave the Czech crowd plenty to cheer for as he took a unanimous decision over Jozef Wittner.
It was largely a disappointing night for Czechia, though. Jakub Batfalsky beat Eugen Black-Dell on the main card, by decision. But Czech fighters lost in all the other fights on the night.
