The first G MMA show was sold on a one-man-against-six main event. According to MMA Fanatik Slovakia, it will now end with the promoter himself. Co-founder Jakub Jira closes the Oct. 31 card at Nová Spirála in his first fight, against Matouš Kaluba, in suits boxing. Official listings still call Muradov vs. six Kotlars the main event, so the running order is the thing to watch on the night.
Jira announced on Oct. 22 that he would fight and kept his opponent secret until the final press conference on Oct. 26. Kaluba was first booked against his adoptive mother Marcela, and that bout is off. No reason was given. Kaluba is known from CLASH, where he beat Dominik Rozporka by TKO after 25 seconds at CLASH 13 in September 2025. Jira was a CLASH presenter and promoter before helping to found G MMA.
Makhmud Muradov is still the draw. The 36-year-old Uzbek is a former UFC fighter and Oktagon champion, and his last fight was a second-round TKO of Will Fleury at Oktagon 92 on Aug. 1. He is booked to meet Krzysztof Jotko at Oktagon 100 on Dec. 29. Against the Kotlars, including Diego, he faces opponents who rotate in one at a time rather than together. Muradov has said he would refuse a simultaneous attack at any price.
He has also been defending himself. Edits set to sad music suggested he regrets signing, and Oktagon boss Ondrej Novotny had called his participation a dishonour to his career. Muradov answered on Instagram: "I regret nothing, nobody is forcing me." He called the fight work to provide for his family. Ahead of the show he told eXtra.cz he agreed to bigger gloves only if the Kotlars wore them too, then dropped the idea when they said he was afraid.
The rest of the card is a mix of MMA, boxing, K-1, bare knuckle, special-rules bouts and a knight-armour fight. Peterka vs. Pompa replaced a cancelled pillow fight. Spicy Pája fights Ján Michalov and Sam White boxes Martin Pavlíček. Another oddity show, Clash APEX+, runs the same night. Aleksandar Mraović is expected to attend, with a callout for G MMA 2 reportedly planned.
Watch for the final running order, and for the full rules of the six-man fight, which the organisation has said it will still specify.
