Disgraced UFC star Igor Severino set to make OKTAGON MMA debut in title eliminator

One of the biggest European MMA cards of the year just got even bigger, as number 1 ranked bantamweight Jonas Magard will welcome former UFC fighter, Igor Severino to the promotion.
Magard, who held OKTAGON MMA’s bantamweight crown for over two years, is on a two-fight win streak as he looks to regain his title. Standing in his way is newcomer, Severino. The Brazilian was controversially cut from the UFC, following his disqualification loss after he bit his opponent.
Europe’s premier promotion, OKTAGON MMA have given Severino a second-chance at success, and victory in his debut bout for the European giants will likely put him in line for a bantamweight world title shot, with the belt currently vacant following Felipe Lima’s departure for the UFC.
Scheduled for Sunday 29th December, at the O2 Arena in Prague, OKTAGON 65 has been labelled as the “Biggest Night Ever” by the promotion. Alongside the MÃ¥gÃ¥rd-Severino clash, the card boasts three other title fights, making it a perfect way to round off what has been a record breaking and memorable year for the OKTAGON MMA.
In addition to the bantamweight title bout, OKTAGON 65 boasts a lineup that features three title fights, including a showdown for OKTAGON’s pound-for-pound crown. The Tipsport Gamechanger final will see the Belgian fighter Losene Keita face Slovakian Ronald Paradeiser, with the victor claiming both the pound-for-pound title and the €300,000 prize. Another marquee fight set for the evening sees Ireland’s Will Fleury challenge Czech MMA legend Karlos Vémola for the OKTAGON Light Heavyweight Title. Finally, the biggest female fight on the Czech-Slovak scene will take place in Prague for the bantamweight title. Undefeated world #26 Lucia Szabová takes on the biggest challenge of her career against the queen of Czech women’s MMA, Lucie Pudilová.
