OKTAGON Rankings Steady After Oktagon 93 Night of Finishes in Brno
OKTAGON 93 ran Saturday at Winning Group Arena in Brno, Czech Republic, closing out OKTAGON's history at that venue in style. Twelve fights. Eight finishes. Jonas Mågård headlined with a submission over Radek Roušal, and the card delivered action across the board. The official rankings snapshot released following the event shows no positional changes — every fighter holds the same ranking they carried in — but the performances at Oktagon 93 put several athletes in line for movement in the coming weeks.
Main Event: Mågård Submits Roušal in Round Three
Jonas Mågård (20-7) defeated Radek Roušal (7-3) by submission via guillotine choke at 0:35 of round three in a featherweight bout. The fight played out over a competitive opening two rounds. Roušal handled Mågård's takedown attempts with reasonable success early, staying upright and keeping the fight in a striking exchange where he was comfortable.
The turning point came in round three. When Mågård finally secured the takedown, the dynamic shifted immediately. He worked patiently through Roušal's attempts to recover, found the neck, locked the guillotine tight, and Roušal tapped before the round was two minutes old.
The win is a meaningful one for Mågård in OKTAGON's featherweight division, which is topped by champion Mochamed Machaev. With a finish in the main event, Mågård puts himself at the front of the contender discussion. The rankings panel has not moved him yet, but continued pressure in this division will be hard to ignore.
Co-Main Event: Rayomba Shocks the Brno Crowd
Kennedy Rayomba entered the co-headliner as an unknown quantity to most of the Brno crowd. Andrej Kalašnik was the local favourite, a middleweight with home support and a solid record in OKTAGON. Rayomba did not care. The fighter controlled the fight from range across three rounds and earned a unanimous decision.
Rayomba's win is his first inside OKTAGON. The performance — calm, disciplined, effective — announced him as a real presence in the middleweight division. Makhmud Muradov holds the OKTAGON middleweight title, with Kerim Engizek holding the interim strap. Rayomba now has a legitimate platform to push for ranked status.
Kalašnik, for his part, fought in front of his home fans and will look to regroup. The loss does not end his position as a contender, but he will need a bounce-back showing to stay in the title conversation.
A Night of Finishes
Only four of twelve fights at Oktagon 93 reached the judges. That kind of finish rate is rare on any card. Several bouts stand out:
Vladimír Lengál KO, Lightweight. Lengál knocked out Maurice Adorf in round one. It was clean, decisive, and continues Lengál's recent run of stoppages in OKTAGON. He is building a case for ranked consideration at lightweight.
Jakub Dohnal Spinning Kick KO, Lightweight. The finish of the night contender. Dohnal caught Vojto Barborík flush with a spinning kick and the fight was over instantly. The kind of highlight-reel finish that gets shared beyond OKTAGON's usual reach.
Robin Fošum One-Punch KO. Fošum ended his fight with a single shot. Short, clean, emphatic. He adds to a growing body of work inside OKTAGON.
The lightweight division also had Mateusz Legierski sitting as champion, watching several fighters in the division put in performances that will make the next rankings cycle interesting.

Farewell to Winning Group Arena in Brno
Oktagon 93 was OKTAGON's final event at Winning Group Arena in Brno. The Czech city has been a consistent part of the OKTAGON schedule and the Brno crowd has provided genuine atmosphere for a number of memorable nights. The organization moves its future Czech Republic events to other venues. It was a fitting send-off — a full card, high finishes, and a dominant main event performance.
The next OKTAGON event will determine whether the performances from Brno translate into ranking movements or title opportunities. Mågård, Rayomba, and Lengál all made compelling cases Saturday night.
