OKTAGON MMA promoters want budding league to mimic success of Champions League, Formula 1

OKTAGON MMA is starting to make a footprint in the combat sports world, and it’s only motivating the two men leading the company to do things bigger and better.

For the first time, OKTAGON MMA got acknowledged as a nominee for “Best Promotion” at the 15th annual World MMA Awards, which is evidence of trends moving in the the right direction.

The organization put on its first event in August 2016, and it’s been a slow build since. There were seven shows in 2017, 10 in 2018, 13 in 2019, 16 in 2020, 12 in 2021, 10 in 2022 and nine in the books already in 2023 going into Saturday’s OKTAGON 47 card, which takes place at Tipos Arena in Bratislava, Slovakia and streams via online pay-per-view.
