Vémola and Kinclo in a rift! The Terminator returns to jump the cage at September’s Octagon and invokes the UFC
Karlos Vémola reacts indignantly to the words of Patrik Kinzl. The latter expressed his opinion at September’s Oktagon in the sense that the Czech Terminator, after jumping into the cage after a fresh champion’s coronation, is rather harmful to domestic MMA.

Will Oktagon 38 at Prague’s O2 Arena mark the end of an MMA story?
Prague’s O2 Arena will see the culmination of this MMA year on the domestic scene at the end of December. In the main fight of the Oktagon 38 gala, two champions of the organization and irreconcilable rivals will face each other.
Middleweight king Patrik Kincl defends his belt for the second time. It is the welterweight champion Karlos Vémola who circles the middleweight waters after less than two years and yearns for a second belt.
Vémola revisits the incident where he jumped into the cage after crowning Kincelo
Now the two rivals have clashed on the Octagon’s Face to Face show and the crowd was certainly not bored. They clashed several times during the interview. The Terminator was most angry at Patrik Kinclo’s statement that Vémola is rather harmful to Czech MMA.
“That he didn’t want to talk to me after his fight in Brno, you as a promoter understand that every fighter is trying to build a fight,” Vémola said on the Face to Face show hosted by promoter Ondřej Novotný. ” Not you, not him, it was the fans who named the fight as ‘Terminator Hunt ‘, you wanted me to be there to commentate the fight,” he recalled of the deal with Oktagon management.
“And then Palo Neruda tells me that Kincl doesn’t want me to go into the cage,” the Oktagon welterweight champion asked in amazement. “I don’t give a s**t what Patrik Kincl doesn’t want, this fight is for the fans, for you,” he explained.
“He’s probably the only fighter who has spoken out against it, I’ve never seen anyone in the UFC crying about someone coming in,” he likened the dispute to the goings-on in the world’s top MMA league.
“You also sent Puetz to me in Germany right after I won, I won the fight and they were also there to boo me and I could say you guys ruined it,” he recalled. “That’s part of the sport and if he doesn’t understand that, he’s the one who’s hurting the sport,” he said of his opponent.
Kincl responded to the Terminator’s words, but once again came down hard
Patrik Kincl countered by saying that he hasn’t seen anything like this in the UFC. However, Karlos Vemola recalled the situation from last weekend, when Islam Makhachev immediately after winning the title came to the cage to challenge Alexander Volkanovski.
“That you didn’t see it, it happens all the time and it’s three days ago, they don’t even have to dislike each other, there was respect between them, they shook hands, but they’re the two best fighters and right away the UFC had them there,” he described the situation at the recent UFC 280.
Similarly, Terminator recalled how the UFC paid for Jiri Prochazka’s airfare to be at Glover Teixeira’s title fight with Jan Blachowicz. “The UFC arranges everything, so don’t lie to me here again that I’m hurting MMA. You probably don’t watch it,” he added.
Kincl eventually pointed out that the Octagon doesn’t have to copy the UFC to the millimeter. He then justified his view by saying that the fighters who were featured on the card at the time deserved the attention. Not Vemola.
