Key takeaways
Ivan Buchinger beat Hafeni Nafuka by knockout at 3:25 of round two in the main event of OKTAGON 63 at the Tipos Arena in Bratislava. In the co-main event, Leandro Silva beat Máté Kertész by unanimous decision after three rounds at catchweight.
Across the nine bouts that produced a result, three ended by knockout, two by submission and four on the judges' scorecards — five stoppages in nine fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Veronika Smolkova, who stopped Mileide Simplicio at 1:06 of round one, and two of the five finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Roman Paulus's submission of Janne Elonen-Kulmala, 12 minutes and 12 seconds in. End to end, the nine fights filled one hour and 31 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: three of its three results came early, against two of the six above it. Jack Maguirre (submission, round two), Roman Paulus (submission, round three) and Veronika Smolkova (knockout, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
Three weight classes were used, catchweight most often with six bouts.
