Veronika Smolková Faces Ivana Petrović in Crucial Flyweight Bout at OKTAGON 98
The vacant flyweight title presents a significant opportunity for two prominent female fighters to advance their careers at OKTAGON 98 in Třinec.
Veronika Smolková (10-3), a promising talent from Slovakia, is set to compete against Ivana Petrović (8-4), a seasoned UFC veteran who is moving down in weight. This important contest, taking place on Saturday, November 21, inside Werk Arena in the Czech Republic, is anticipated to showcase some of the region's top domestic fighters.
Smolková is currently on an impressive eight-fight winning streak, having secured finishes in her last three bouts before the second round concluded. Under the guidance of former double champion Lucia Szabová, 'Sweetheart' has seen a notable rise in her performance over the past year, defeating opponents such as Stephanie Egger and Lisa Kyriacou. A victory against another former UFC fighter in Třinec would solidify her position as a top prospect at just 24 years old.
Petrović, a former ARES FC champion, has previously faced notable competitors like Jamey-Lyn Horth and Juliana Miller. She made her OKTAGON debut in May, defeating Danielle Misteli by TKO in the first round. Petrović now aims to establish herself in the flyweight division and demonstrate her peak performance in November.
The event also features promising young talents Tomáš Mudroch and Jakub Batfalský, who are scheduled to compete against opponents yet to be announced.
