OKTAGON 62 - Frankfurt - 12.10.2024 (live on DAZN) already reportedly sold 58.000 out of 60.000 tickets which should be record of modern MMA .



They already succesfully dominated 3 European countries - Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany and their current target is to take over European MMA (overcome KSW).They have broadcasting deals with multiple TVs across Europe, for example Serbia, Spain, Belgium, etc...They have few interesting names and talents like Keita, Penaz or Gogoladze for example...but their main domain is show and production (ref live body cams on ppv, half time shows, etc...) - Do OKTAGONMMA have potential to become competitor to UFC in future ?


Biggest event yet - OKTAGON 58 (28.000)




Whats your thoughts?
 
Hype! Should have that big fight feel with 60k people and a lax AC to see how fast and hard guys can actually hit! I wish we had unsanctioned MMA divisions for roided out 185 killers that look like TRT Vitor each fight. But this will do for now
 

I asked this question from the opposite POV, asking why the UFC weren't hammering a huge arena for UFC 300, and got some really good responses and opinions about how it made for a worse experience.

I still don't think that's the priority for the UFC's money men, though, so I remain very surprised. Boxing does it, WWE does it, UFC doesn't want to set attendance records - I wouldn't be at all surprised if it came down to ticket price and being some bogus, poorly conceived way of getting ticket prices high by selling fewer.

Is KSW the biggest mma promotion in Europe? I woulda thought some Russian org. What's that based on?

Ever been to a festival? It’stoo much going on. I like mma intimate
 
Was about to make a thread for the event in the Worldwide section.

Pretty cool they got to set up such a event here and sell so many tickets. I will tune in for sure.

@GreenGorilla yer going? @Deffid yer watching?
Totally missed that this even happens, probably won't be watching but I'm happy that they managed to sell so many tickets!
 
Sounds good to me. If I lived there I'd definitely attend. If anyone here is attending please let us know how it goes!
 
I watch Oktagon, as I have it free on some Serbian channel (Arena or something) + they stream live on YouTube (at least prelims). They are fun to watch. Certainly not elite level competitors, but they put on a nice show.

Ill be there. Have seen various Events in the past and this Event is always a banger! Tons of free protein stuff, super entertaining inbetween fights, and every single event minimum half of the fights ended by knockout. Its really worth it and Tickets are affordable for anyone.
