Hatef Moeil is no longer the OKTAGON MMA heavyweight champion.
The German 37-year-old has been stripped of his title and dropped from the roster. OKTAGON MMA just announced the news on social media. Read the full statement below:
“Hatef Moeil is no longer a champion or a fighter under the OKTAGON MMA organization. Our paths with Hatef have parted ways. As of December 17th, Hatef is no longer an OKTAGON MMA fighter and has been stripped of his championship belt. Before and during the Munich event, he repeatedly breached his contract. Although we attempted to find a reasonable solution, Hatef refused to engage in any meaningful compromise. We would like to thank him for his past cooperation and wish him the best of luck in the future. We would also like to acknowledge his manager, Ivan Dijakovic, for his always cooperative and fair approach. Unfortunately, individuals close to Hatef, specifically coach Babak, negatively influenced our collaboration and significantly contributed to the end of this partnership. We consider this situation now to be closed for us.”
