That’s it for this duel. We are definitely not done in Stuttgart yet, because in a few minutes the match between Karol Ryšavý and Arijan Topallaj will start.
Disappointment on the Czech side, because the Afghan Wahid Najand wins on points with a close ratio of 2:1.
From the beginning, Kuba Bahník went after a clear goal and in the first two rounds he had Najand naked, but he could not end the duel with other combinations. The third round was clearly under the direction of Wahid, but it still seemed to most that the victory would go to Cuba, but the judges finally favored the Afghan wrestler.
In the interview, Najand thanked all the fans and is satisfied with his win.

Dear
Here we witnessed precision, as both fighters fit exactly within the 74 kilogram limit.
Wahid looked confident at the staredown, and he had some words for Baník. But the Czech fighter ignored them.
Jakub “Jacob B” Bahník
MMA record: 9 wins / 4 losses (OCTAGON: 5 wins / 1 loss)
The 30-year-old Czech hard knockout machine returns to the cage after an unpleasant injury. Bahník keeps his career at a very high level, having recorded nine wins, but eight of them were finished by KO. He has a more than excellent record in OCTAGON, as all his matches have not gone to the end of the limit and he has only lost once five years ago with Legierski. His last fight was in November against Wanliss, with whom it only lasted 25 seconds because he took a nasty knee to the groin and it was after a battle that ended without a winner. Bahňas will certainly not want to repeat this past in Stuttgart.
Will we witness another KO from Bahník?
Wahid Najand
MMA record: 7 wins / 2 losses (OCTAGON: 0 wins / 0 losses)
This Afghan fighter will present himself for the very first time under the baton of OKTAGON. He is definitely not just going on a trip, because out of nine MMA fights, he has won seven of them and lost only two. He became a champion in his native country in the SLFC organization, but because of the Taliban, he had to move to Europe in 2021. Here he stepped into the cage for the last time in September of last year, where his opponent was Langowski. At the gala evening in the NFC, he was able to defeat him in the first round by submission and was in great shape for the duel with Bahník.
Will Nazhad surprise the Czech favorite in its premiere?
