31 Oct 2026	Marek Bartl vs Brian Manning	Marek Bartl	TKO	3:03	Middleweight

Timo Feucht's stoppage of Zdeněk Polívka at 0:13 is the fastest of the month by a distance. The next quickest, Burak Kizilirmak over Kevin Hangs, needed 1:54, and Gökhan Aksu's TKO of Rene Runge followed four seconds later.

Munich supplied three of the five fastest finishes. Kizilirmak, Aksu and Bartl all stopped their opponents in round 1 on 31 October, so the Bavarian card paired a five-round title fight with several early TKOs. Karlovy Vary supplied the other two, the 13-second knockout and the submission.

The only submission of the month came in the fight that gave Oktagon 95 its name: Tomasz Narkun beat Daniel Škvor in round 1, at 2:29, in Karlovy Vary.

The title fight in Munich

The title fight of the month went the opposite way. Amiran Gogoladze beat Jessin Ayari in a welterweight title fight at Oktagon 96, and it went the full five rounds, ending on the scorecards at 5:00 of round 5.

It was one of the 13 decisions, and it came in the division that produced more bouts than any other in October.
