This fall, Liam Pitts and Samuel Bark really showed that the Swede’s are in OKTAGON to take over.

Pitts lived up to the hype in his promotional debut as he stopped Stephan Guidea via rear-naked-choke in the first round, getting all kinds of praises from the commentators. On the same card, Bark stepped up and delivered one of his most impressive performances to date as he stopped the promotion’s former champion Mate Sanikidze with a late submission.

Going into 2026, no fewer than five fighters are on the OKTAGON roster. Besides Pitts, Bark and Andreas Ståhl, both Zoran Milic and Najib Adams will make their debuts in Europe’s leading MMA promotion.
