The Oktagon 38 tournament at the O2 Arena on December 30 will feature a welterweight bout. Czech fighter Jakub Dohnal will take on Ahmed Vila from Bosnia. Who will be the stronger of these two athletes?
Both are lacking in knockout power, having only one knockout victory between them. But they are active enough on the ground, where they do their best to land a submission or choke hold quickly and skillfully.
But most often their fights are decided by the judges. We think that this time too, the fighters will not betray their tradition, so they will fight for a full three rounds. However, he is the local fighter who has the best chance of a favourable outcome.
The 31-year-old Czech fighter Jakub Dohnal nicknamed ‘’Hezoun’’ has been competing professionally since 2017. He has spent most of his fights under the banner of the Oktagon organisation. The Brno native prefers to fight in a cautious manner. Five out of ten fights he’s won by judges’ decisions, and four of his opponents have been eliminated.
In his two most recent fights he scored points over Yamek Furtado and David Munu. The number of painful and choking victories means it’s not hard to guess that Jakub relies heavily on his grappling.
Former FFC champion Ahmed Vila made his pro debut in 2012. In 2022 he made his debut in the Oktagon, where he managed to defeat Jaroslav Pokorny by a referee’s verdict. The 26-year-old from Bosnia has eight wins, four losses and one draw to his credit. Like his future rival, he puts more emphasis on his developed jerseys skills.
