OKTAGON 59: Full card, start time, TV and how to watch as Ronald Paradeiser battles Daniel Torres

The current OKTAGON MMA lightweight king will clash with a former KSW champion when Ronald Paradeiser (19-8) meets Daniel Torres (15-5, 2NC) in the main event.

‘Rony’ chose to face the Austrian following their opening round bouts and many have tipped this to be one of the best quality fights on the continent this year.

In the co-main event, one of the best prospects in the world, Losene Keita (13-1), collides with former SBC champion, Predrag Bogdanovic (16-1), in a European MMA Champions League quarter final.

‘Black Panther’ progressed in a brilliant bout with Sardari back in May after Bogdanovic had halted the hype of then undefeated talent, Nafuka, at OKTAGON 54. The Serbian believes this upcoming matchup suits him perfectly while Keita wants to deliver a highlight reel finish once again.

Slovak MMA legend, Ivan Buchinger (42-9), throws down with all action, Lukasz Rajewski (13-9, 1NC), in a Tipsport Gamechanger reserve bout.

Following a title defeat to Paradeiser at the end of last year, ‘Buki’ bounced back with a stoppage victory on the regional scene and now wants to give himself the chance of entering the European MMA Champions League.

Rajewski overcame Ponet in his OKTAGON MMA debut earlier this year and is now searching for the biggest win of his career.

Undefeated female star, Lucia Szabova (7-0), hopes to keep her perfect record intact when she faces Spanish warrior, Aitana Alvarez (6-5), at a catchweight of 59.5kg/131lbs.

Rounding out the main card, knockout machine, Radovan Uskrt (8-4), hopes to spoil the retirement of Czech star, Petr Knize (13-3), in a middleweight contest.

Elsewhere on the lineup, former interim champion, Piotr Wawrzyniak (12-6), squares off with last year’s Tipsport Gamechanger finalist, Andreas Michailidis (16-7), at middleweight and ‘Shark’ Jonas Magard (16-6) takes on Bellator veteran, Josh Hill (22-6), in a bantamweight battle.
