OKTAGON has set a major Frankfurt stadium fight for September 26, with Fedor Duric meeting UFC veteran Marc Diakiese in a lightweight bout at Deutsche Bank Park, the home of Eintracht Frankfurt. The show is expected to draw 60,000 fans and will be part of its 10-year anniversary run in Germany.
Marc Diakiese vs Fedor Duric
Duric enters as one of the promotion’s most watched young names. He is a 21-year-old coming off wins over Petru Buzdugan and Tomáš Mudroch. That makes Diakiese the clearest step up of his OKTAGON career so far. Diakiese brings a deep resume as former BAMMA champion who went on to spend seven years in the UFC and the PFL, building a record of 18-8 and collecting experience against high-level international opposition. For OKTAGON, he is the kind of signing that adds immediate name value to a stadium card.
The venue gives this booking extra weight. Deutsche Bank Park has already been used for OKTAGON’s large-scale push in Frankfurt, as the 2026 return follows the 2024 show where 60,000 fans set the MMA attendance record. OKTAGON 94 is set for Saturday, September 26, 2026.
Christian Eckerlin is also slated to appear, keeping one of Germany’s most visible MMA draws on a card that already has strong local appeal. Eckerlin remains active in OKTAGON competition, with his latest profile updates tied to bouts in 2025 and 2026. Max Coga is another Frankfurt-linked name mentioned for the event.
Duric is the fast-rising prospect with momentum, while Diakiese arrives as the established veteran who has already fought through a much tougher level of opposition. If Duric wins, he strengthens his case as a real title-level project; if Diakiese wins, he immediately validates the promotion’s decision to bring him in as a headline-caliber addition.
