OKTAGON 26: The "Summer Night’s Dream" returns to the iconic Štvanice. On July 24, 2021, the most beautiful tournament of the year took place under the open sky in Prague. This event marked a triumphant return to full capacity, with the "Mecca of Czech MMA" providing an electric backdrop for a battle over the middleweight throne. The main event featured a high-stakes clash for the interim middleweight title between the Polish veteran Marcin Naruszczka and the Slovak fan-favorite Samuel "Pirát" Krištofič. In a grueling five-round tactical battle, "Pirát" utilized his heart and improved striking to outpoint the tough Pole, securing the belt and setting up a future showdown with Patrik Kincl. The night was further highlighted by the dominant performance of Lucie Pudilová and the rising star Talekh "The Azerbaijani Terminator" Hamidov, all while the sunset over the Vltava River created the unique atmosphere that only Štvanice can offer.
