Problem at the weigh-in! Six Oktagon fighters failed to make weight, but the title fight is not in jeopardy
Dear pre-tournament Oktagon 35 is over. However, a large number of wrestlers did not make weight on their first attempt, so they will have to drop more weight. Who are some of these imaginary sinners?

The Oktagon 35 tournament in the hockey hall of Brno Kometa is already behind the door. It starts on Saturday at 6 pm and the highlight will be the title battle between Patrik Kinc and Alex Lohore.
As it is customary, the day before the tournament there is a weigh-in for all fighters at 9 a.m. And this time a large number of them failed to meet the weight limit, so they have to continue to lose.
Six wrestlers in particular. Edilson Franca, who will take on Jan Gottvald in the free prelims, weighed in at 93.85, and must weigh 93.5 in his second attempt.
Denis Kurdinov, who will wrestle Radovan Uskrt, weighed 85.45, so he has a lot of work to do to get to the final 84.4 and it is realistic that he will have to donate part of his payout to his opponent.
Iamik Furtado will fight Ronald Paradeiser and weighed 71.6, which is quite a big difference with the limit to 70.8. Radek Roušal has a quieter clash ahead of him.
The only domestic fighter on this list weighed 400 grams more than the 71 kilo limit. The last one is David Moon who weighed 67.25 out of the required 66.3.
The title bout was without the slightest trouble, Patrik Kincl weighed 83.8 kilos, his challenger Alex Lohoré 83.6.
