Oktagon 88: Holzer vs. Taha – Full Results and Highlights
Oktagon MMA heads to ZAG Arena in Hannover, Germany, for a stacked Oktagon 88 fight card headlined by a featherweight clash between undefeated standout Max Holzer and veteran knockout artist Khalid Taha.
Originally, a title tilt between Mochamed Machaev and Gjoni Palokaj was scheduled to headline. That was until Palokaj was forced to bow out due to a staph infection, paving the way for Holzer and Taha to step into the main event spotlight for their 145-pound grudge match.
Also in action will be former Bellator, PFL, and RIZIN fighter Simon Biyong. He’ll feature as part of the main card, taking on Evgeny Orlov as both athletes look to secure their first win with the promotion.
