The O2 Arena witnesses a unique crossover spectacle as MMA royalty meets the music world. On May 21, 2022, OKTAGON stepped away from traditional cage fighting to host a high-profile boxing event that captured the attention of the mainstream public across the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The main event featured the long-awaited boxing clash between the "Terminator" Karlos Vémola and the popular rapper and former Thai boxer Otakar "Marpo" Petřina. Despite the striking background of Marpo, Vémola utilized his relentless physical pressure and clinch work to overwhelm the musician, leading to a controversial standing TKO stoppage in the fourth round. The card also featured high-level boxing displays from MMA stars like Samuel "Pirát" Krištofič, Miloš Petrášek, and Ronald Paradeiser, proving the versatility of the promotion's elite athletes in a different discipline.
