All athletes competing at OKTAGON 79 successfully weighed in earlier today ahead of an action-packed event set for Saturday, November 1, at the Winning Group Arena in Brno, Czech Republic. However, the weigh-ins weren\u2019t without controversy, as welterweight champion Ion Surdu failed to make weight and was subsequently stripped of his title. This development leaves only his challenger, Andrej Kala\u0161nik, with the opportunity to walk away with championship gold tomorrow night.<\/p>\n
The event will stream live on OKTAGON.TV worldwide, promising an unforgettable evening for MMA fans.<\/p>\n
