Since 1996, Italy has hosted a prestigious gala event known as OKTAGON, which has welcomed and collaborated with major international promotions including K-1 WGP, GLORY Kickboxing, Bellator MMA, and Bellator Kickboxing. Some of the most renowned champions have fought and made their mark in the OKTAGON ring, including Rico Verhoeven, Badr Hari, Giorgio Petrosyan, Jomhod, Andy Souwer, Samy Sana, Raymond Daniels, Marat Grigorian, Chingiz Allazov, and more recently, K-1 champion Takumi Tarada, just to name a few.
