Oktagon MMA smashed MMA attendance records as 59,000 packed a soccer stadium in Frankfurt, Germany for their latest big event.
Oktagon 62 took place at Deutsche Bank Park, home of Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, as the Czech-Slovak promotion held its biggest and most ambitious show to date.
The event was a slam-dunk success, as a packed, raucous crowd was treated to a spectacular night of fights, with a little music thrown in for good measure.
