Christian Eckerlin is heading back to Frankfurt with a stadium-sized task in front of him. “The King of Germany” will face former OKTAGON welterweight champion David “Pink Panther” Kozma at OKTAGON 94 on September 26 inside Deutsche Bank Park, where the promotion expects close to 60,000 fans. He headlined OKTAGON’s previous visit to the Eintracht Frankfurt stadium in 2024, defeating Christian Jungwirth as the event drew 60,000 spectators and set an MMA attendance benchmark. The 33-year-old held the OKTAGON welterweight title from 2018 through 2022 and made five successful defenses before Kaik Brito took the belt via third-round TKO. It is a loaded stadium card, but Eckerlin versus Kozma has the cleanest setup: a Frankfurt favourite, a Czech former king, and 60,000 people ready to pick a side.
