Felix Klinkhammer is 11-0 and has won eight of those fights by submission. On 31 Oct in Munich he steps into the main event of Oktagon 96 for a title against Amiran Gogoladze, the biggest booking of an unbeaten career that began in 2018.
Felix Klinkhammer's record: 11-0 with nine finishes
Klinkhammer is a German welterweight who trains with London Shootfighters and stands 183 cm. He made his professional debut on 18 Mar 2018 and has not lost since.
Nine of his 11 wins ended inside the distance, which is an 82 per cent finish rate when measured as the share of wins that came by KO, TKO or submission. The split is lopsided: eight submissions, one TKO and two decisions. He is a grappler who finishes, and the record shows very little else.
He holds an 11-fight win streak, and his last five outings are all wins.
Klinkhammer's last five fights
| Date | Opponent | Result | Method | Round |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22 Nov 2025 | Máté Kertész | Win | Submission | 1 |
| 5 Sep 2024 | Jefferson Goncalves | Win | Decision (Unanimous) | 5 |
| 11 May 2023 | Christopher Jacquelin | Win | Submission (Arm-Triangle Choke) | 1 |
| 16 Apr 2022 | Wissem Akhmouch | Win | Submission (Rear-Naked Choke) | 1 |
| 11 Dec 2021 | Karim Rabei | Win | Submission (Kneebar) | 1 |
Four of the five ended by submission, and all four in round one. The finishes were varied: an arm-triangle, a rear-naked choke and a kneebar, plus the Kertész win at 4:46 of the first round.
The exception is the Ares 24 fight against Goncalves, an event billed as Klinkhammer vs. Goncalves and a lightweight bout that went the full five rounds to a unanimous decision. It is the one recent example of Klinkhammer winning a long fight against an opponent who survived the early exchanges.
From Contenders to Ares to OKTAGON
Klinkhammer built the record away from the biggest stages. His early wins came at Contenders in Norwich, where he finished Laid Zerhouni with a rear-naked choke at 1:42 of round one and Anton Franjic with elbows, both at lightweight.
At Oktagon 26 in July 2021 he beat Anatoliy Tarasenko by decision at welterweight, going the full three rounds. He then went back to lightweight for a run at Ares, where three straight submissions in round one preceded the Goncalves decision.
His most recent fight was the return to OKTAGON at Oktagon 80, back at welterweight, where he submitted Kertész on 22 Nov 2025. He is ranked number six in the OKTAGON welterweight division, unchanged from his previous position.
Klinkhammer vs Gogoladze: the next fight in Munich
The booking is Oktagon 96: Gogoladze vs. Klinkhammer, a main event and a title fight, in Munich on 31 Oct. Gogoladze arrives at 16-3-0.
Gogoladze brings 16 wins and three losses, so Klinkhammer meets an opponent who has lost before, and the main event is as much about what happens when the first-round plan does not work as about the plan itself.
Klinkhammer has gone the distance twice in 11 fights, once over three rounds against Tarasenko and once over five against Goncalves, and he won both. The five-round win over Goncalves is the only time in his recent run that he has been asked to carry a fight that far, and it is the template if Gogoladze survives the opening round.
The route he has used since 2021 is the one to watch in Munich: take the fight down and look for the choke.
