But this begs the question, what’s next for the current champ?
Could Jonas Magard vs. Matty SaniKids be next?
The man who should immediately come to mind is the Georgian fighter, Matty Sankidze.

Lucien Keita.
Jonas Magard vs Mate Sanikidze had two of the most famous fighters you could find in the promotion together one known for his title winning performance against Sanikidze’s Jakub Tichota and then Jonas Magard when he beat Light Violet On a debut that immediately cemented him as one to watch in the department.

Since confronting Magard, Philip Macyk He went on to win his next two matches until he faced López, where he lost in the first round.
With just one win, it wouldn’t be unfair to give Macek a title shot considering his skill and the amount of time he spent on promotion.
The last time the two men faced each other was in 2021 when Magard has since become champions.
Could this next fight be on the 135th?
Can Octagon sign Adam Bramhall to face Magard?
At the moment Oktagon is announcing signing after signing from the UK and they are already getting quite competitive in the promotion.

It will pit one highly skilled striker against another and create a very exciting match that once again gives the power to make a massive difference in the division.
Oktagon can even book Bramhald vs Enev 2 and decide from there if it’s going to be a competitive fight with Bramhald if he takes on Magard.
Bramhald was shown on Instagram with a brief fight with the UFC last year, so he’ll be another UFC-related fighter in some capacity to defeat Magard and continue to prove why he’s one of the best.
In conclusion, whoever faces Magard next. They will have a very big job at hand and will likely be main eventing or at least a co-main event card with a large capacity, which is a common trend in the promotion.
