Champion vs. Dark Horse | Showdown: PARADEISER vs. DUQUE • Tipsport Gamechanger 2 | OKTAGON 61

Slovakia vs. Spain in the semifinals of the European MMA Champions League lightweight Tipsport Gamechanger for 1 million euros.

The lightweight champion PARADEISER proved what kind of fighter he has grown into. A professorial performance and a perfectly technical and tactical fight with Torres, one of the favourites of the million-dollar pyramid, made him a semifinalist of the Tipsport Gamechanger. The win moved him up to 58th in the world rankings. He has 11 KOs, 3 submissions, and is facing one of the toughest fighters he has ever faced.

From a humble guy who worked his ass off several times a day, to the #1 lightweight in Spain, to the champion of Spain's largest black belt BJJ organisation, and the best Spanish fighter in recent years. ACOIDAN DUQUE has won in organisations like BRAVE, PFL, and Bellator. Like Paradeiser, he has 14 finishes, only he prefers to break it on the ground – 11 submissions, 9 in the 1st round, and 3 KOs. And just like "Rony," he sent one of the favourites home in the quarterfinals—Machaev. Will he knock the OKTAGON champion out of the pyramid?
