OKTAGON 37 offered an incredible spectacle, the biggest domestic organization has two new champions. One of them, namely Kaik Brito, has skyrocketed in the world rankings. On the other hand, his opponent David Kozma has dropped out of the top 100.

David Kozma has his sixth title defense under his belt. After miraculous performances against Leandro Silva, Bojan Velickovic and Peter Knezhet, he did not add another win. He couldn’t find a recipe for the Brazilian Kaiko Brito.

Brito is one of the “silent waters”, but he can be lethal when he is in the cage. He showed that against Kozma, sending him down five times in the fight and putting on a one-sided show.

It is interesting, then, how the Kozma-Brit fight has shuffled both fighters’ rankings within the world rankings on the respected Fight Matrix site.
