Frederic Vosgrone to Fight at OKTAGON 72 in Prague`s Eden Stadium

Frederic Vosgrone debuted at OKTAGON 69 in Dortmund, Germany on April 5, achieving a 4-0 professional record.

Vosgrone, known for his imposing physique and grappling skills, drew Brock Lesnar comparisons after submitting Jorick Montagnac impressively.

After his bonus-winning performance, Vosgrone`s social media presence exploded, reaching 155k Instagram followers, a significant jump from under 10,000.

The victory propelled the light heavyweight contender to the #6 ranking in the division, and he is now set to compete again on June 14.

OKTAGON 72 will be held at the open-air Eden Stadium in Prague, marking their largest event of 2025, following a successful OKTAGON 58 show last year.

Vosgrone will face Lucas ‘La Cobra’ Alsina (13-5, Argentinian), who returns to OKTAGON after a previous appearance in July 2023 against Karlos Vémola.

A victory at Eden Stadium could position Vosgrone for a title shot against current two-division champion Will Fleury.

Frederic Vosgrone Could Become a Major Star for OKTAGON

As established fighters like Karlos Vémola potentially near their exit from the promotion, OKTAGON seeks new European stars.

While OKTAGON consistently attracts fan interest with large-scale events, Frederic Vosgrone could be the emerging figure to truly captivate audiences.

His exciting fighting style, combined with his physical presence, makes him a compelling watch. Continued success could elevate the German fighter to a household name for OKTAGON, building on his impactful debut.

OKTAGON 72 was already anticipated as a major event, but the addition of Vosgrone to the fight card further amplifies its intrigue.
