European MMA is booming! In this weekly series, Frontkick.online puts the spotlight on European MMA fighters who deserve international recognition!
OKTAGON MMA’s lightweight champion Ronald Paradeiser is one helluva fighter. The Slovakian 27-year-old is known for being active, which his 21-8 record is a proof of, and he stayed true to his roots in OKTAGON where the majority of his fights took place.
With his 188 centimeters (6’2″), Paradeiser is a tall and lanky lightweight with a terrifying reach. In his last fight he obliterated Acoidan Duque within 88 seconds and looked better than he ever did.
On December 29, he will headline a stacked fight card against fellow OKTAGON star Losene Keita. The two rivals will clash in the promotion’s €1 Million lightweight tournament finals.
The pairing clashed back in February 2022, with Keita coming out as the winner via unanimous decision. Since then, Paradeiser is unbeaten in MMA and racking up eight straight wins. The rematch is arguably the best lightweight fight you can do on the European continent in 2024. We just can’t wait to watch it!
