All fighters competing at OKTAGON 53 officially made weight in Oberhausen, Germany.

Rudolf Weber-Arena hosts an exciting card where history could be made and the welterweight division features heavily.

In the main event, Katharina Dalisda (10-3) looks to defend her strawweight title for the first time in a rematch against Frenchwoman, Eva Dourthe (8-5), and ‘Tigress’ will become the most successful female fighter ever in OKTAGON MMA if she gets her hand raised.

Hot prospect, Islam Dulatov (9-1), makes his highly anticipated promotional debut in the co-headliner when he faces tough veteran, Ioannis Palaiologos (20-12-1), at welterweight.

Surging Czech favourite, Miroslav Broz (16-3-1), takes on English newcomer, Tom Crosby (8-3-1), in a welterweight contest where the victor could break into the top ten of the rankings.

In another feature bout, talented grappler, Hojat Khajevand (7-3), squares off with UFC and PFL veteran, David Zawada (18-9), at middleweight in an important matchup for the division.

Elsewhere on the card, former Glory kickboxer, Cihad Akipa (6-1), throws down with the much more experienced, Ivica Truscek (42-39), after the welterweight pair had a scuffle at the pre-fight press conference.

OKTAGON MMA mainstays, Jan Malach (15-14) and Jaroslav Pokorny (16-10), also return to competition in separate bouts.

OKTAGON 53 will be broadcast worldwide on DAZN in all markets except from CZ/SK/DE. In Germany, the event will be available exclusively on PPV.

Fans in the UK/Ireland can tune in on Channel 4 and RMC Sport will broadcast the event for viewers in France. The action begins at 5pm GMT/6pm CET/12pm ET/9am CT.
