Martin Koźak VS Christian Echols

Martin Koźak stopped Christian Echols by TKO via punches at 1:32 of the second round in a middleweight bout at DWCS 10: Week 5 on September 8, 2026. The finish extended Koźak's unbeaten professional record to 6-0, all six wins coming by stoppage. Echols had entered on short notice and missed the middleweight limit by three pounds ahead of the bout, incurring a financial penalty before stepping into the cage. Koźak, the reigning RFA middleweight champion who won that title with a third-round finish in April 2026, remained untested by the scorecards in his career.

After a late-notice opponent change, undefeated Slovakian RFA Champion Martin Koźak now puts his 6-0 record on the line against the highly dangerous and unpredictable American, Christian "The Vanilla Gorilla" Echols. Echols (8-4) is a proven giant-slayer, best known for his spectacular upset knockout of Pat Downey in Bellator. With every single one of Echols' 12 professional bouts ending in a finish (8 wins, 4 losses), Koźak will need to rely heavily on his 193cm frame and technical precision to survive the inevitable chaos.
