Is the biggest tournament in the history of the Octagon coming up? Novotny wants a gala in a football stadium for 50,000 people in Frankfurt!

The first ever Oktagon tournament in Germany is over, the sold out hall watched many tense duels. But it will return to Frankfurt in October. However, Ondrej Novotny is planning a tournament that will be the biggest in the history of the organization.

The Oktagon 33 tournament was a great success, the sold out hall in Frankfurt, Germany offered an interesting atmosphere and we could see some tense fights.

Oktagon will surely return to Germany on a regular basis, with one more tournament to be held in Frankfurt this year, on October 15 in the same hall as on Saturday.

Karlos Vémola would like to appear at this tournament, challenging Stephan Pütz. But we probably can’t look forward to their match, at least for now.

“A match between two Terminators has to build up properly first. Stephan has to have a bigger name in the Czech Republic, a little bit in Germany, Karlos only in Germany. We need a little time for that,” said Ondřej Novotný at the press conference.

The Oktagon promoter is not going to stay with small goals and thinks that their fight could happen at an event that will break the organization’s records again.

“When that happens, I think the football stadium in Frankfurt would be a beautiful venue for such a fight,” he added. Eintracht’s stadium has a capacity of over 50,000, and that’s for football matches, so the capacity for MMA would be much higher.

It is quite bold to make such a move, however nothing is impossible. The Octagon would have to promote such a tournament properly, and therefore it is necessary to introduce German fans as much as possible to fighters they will build a relationship with and the tournament will interest them.

That’s why we can expect him to save the Vemola-Putz fight for sometime next summer. It would definitely be a shame to rush such an event.
