A twist in the battle with the Pirate? Either I start as the home team or I don’t play! Let them find a replacement for me, threatens Vémola

Oktagon announced that Samuel Kristofich and Karlos Vemola will fight for the middleweight title at Oktagon 30. However, the Czech fighter does not want to be the one to step into the cage first. However, since the Pirate is the interim title holder, that will be the case. And in that case, Vemola said the organization should find someone else for Pirat.

Karlos Vemola and Samuel Pirat Kristofich will face off for the middleweight title at Octagon 30. Pirat holds the interim title at that weight due to an injury to Vemola.

He is automatically the challenger and the fight is scheduled to take place on December 30. But Vemola is making a lot of money. Why? Because he’s the first to step into the cage as the challenger to the champion.

“For me, the Pirate is just a fake champion. If that’s what they want to do, in that case they can look for a replacement for me now. Octagon already did that to me with Attila, even though it was actually at my home in Prague, he was coming in as the home, as the champion. Now it should happen to me for the third time? No. And I’m not running from it.

I’m risking my health, I’m risking not seeing my family properly, having a baby, not celebrating properly, and my daughter’s birthday. I’m just going to have to leave everything for them to put up a Pirate as champion here at my house in the O2 Arena?

In that case, let them find another opponent for him and sell out the O2 arena with someone else. That’s not my stubbornness, that’s just the way it is. I feel like a champion and I’m home!” vémola said in an interview with iSport.

So the Octagon organization is facing a tough negotiation. It certainly won’t want to lose a fight like this, especially when it will be the biggest draw at the O2 Arena.

On the other hand, in such a case, the fighter shouldn’t back down. So the question is whether we will actually see a Vemola vs Pirate fight this year.
