Oktagon 87 marked a significant return to Liberec for the promotion, with the event at Home Credit Arena seeing eight out of eleven bouts end by stoppage. The night was historic as Lucia Szabová secured her place in the record books, becoming Oktagon MMA’s first female double champion.
In the main event, the undefeated Lucia Szabová (11-0) demonstrated her dominance by stopping Leidiane Fernandes (7-3) in the third round of their vacant flyweight title bout. Despite an aggressive start from Fernandes, Szabová’s precise striking and effective ground game, including a progression to mount and delivering significant blows, proved decisive. Szabová now reigns supreme in two divisions and has expressed interest in a highly anticipated future bout against Lucie Pudilová.
The co-main event saw Dominik Humburger (12-3) secure a unanimous decision victory over Zebaztian Kadestam (15-9) in a middleweight clash. Humburger, with the vocal support of his hometown crowd, landed the more impactful strikes. Kadestam showed considerable toughness, but Humburger’s power ultimately made the difference, solidifying his position among the division’s top contenders.
In a thrilling featherweight matchup, Radek Roušal (7-2) delivered a spectacular first-round knockout against Samuel Bark (13-4). Roušal’s recent improvements were evident, and he is now poised to compete at the highest level of the division. Additionally, a special STAND and BANG welterweight bout saw Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship star Josef Hála defeat Tomáš Mudroch via knockout.
Other notable results included Mileide Simplicio (7-3) submitting UFC veteran Josefine Knutsson (8-2) in the strawweight division, and Liam Pitts (4-0) continuing his undefeated streak with a submission win in a catchweight bout.
