VIDEO: Peñaz changed into change again! Magnor finished with a hard knockout after 29 seconds

On Saturday evening, the jubilee gala evening OKTAGON 50 took place in Ostrava’s Ostravar Arena, where besides the two title battles there were also several local representatives. One of them was Matěj Peňaz, who returned to the cage after almost a year. How did he do?

Almost a little Nordic derby with the Moravian representative. Matěj Peňaz is from South Moravia, but he has trained a lot in Sweden, where he spent some time with his partner. His opponent Ole Magnor is from Norway for a change and so there would be an interesting story line

The more crucial one, however, was the form Money would return in after a year off and a serious hand injury. Magnor is also a complex fighter, adept in the stand-up, proficient on the ground. Not an easy opponent after a long enforced layoff, even though the odds said the complete opposite.

The Norwegian fought Radovan Uskrt, Mark Bartel and Vaclav Mikulasek in the Oktagon. He did lose two fights, but one was arranged on a short-notice stand-up, where he is definitely not at home compared to Bartl. In short, he is not afraid of any challenge. That’s where he’s most dangerous.

Peñaz returned to the Octagon a year ago after trying to fight for a UFC contract and succeeding when he defeated Joel dos Santos. Then he was supposed to fight Vlast Chep, but unfortunately he got injured and the fight didn’t take place. How did he do on his return?

Peñaz finished Magnor after half a minute

As soon as the fight started, you could see that Magnor wasn’t afraid of anything. He immediately tested Money’s chin with a hard punch. But Mathew Money wasn’t having any of it. Ole tried to apply pressure and make the match as uncomfortable as possible for his opponent, but he paid the price.

Even from the retreat, Peňaz was able to land several excellent and accurate shots, including one precise knee to the chin. Then, 29 seconds later, the Moravian found Magnor’s chin beautifully and sent him down uncompromisingly.

Magnor was badly shaken. After the fight, it took him a while to be able to stand on his own. In short, an uncompromising knockout.

Money improved his record to 8-1, with his seventh win coming by KO/TKO. Magnor fell to 8-8.

“I was expecting him to go for the takedown, but he hit me and that put him to sleep. He thought I was shaken up, but I wasn’t. I missed it, the break was long. I was looking forward to wrestling. This is what I do for a living,” Peñaz said.

The Moravian puncher wants to fight his next fight in January in Newcastle, where he would like to challenge Cage Warriors veteran Matthew Bonner.
