The co-main event at Octagon 38 will see Czech Matus Juracek and French Alex Lohor in the welterweight category. The bout will take place on 31st December at O2 Arena in Prague. Who will be stronger?
In vain the bookies underestimate the young prospect of the organisation. Matus is clearly in great form, so will be able to put up a competitive fight against a more experienced opponent. The Czech will need to use his wrestling as much as possible, as well as throwing punches to Alex in the clinch to prevent him from going to a comfortable distance. We think that Juracek has all the necessary skill sets to succeed here.
Matus Juracek has won four fights in four promotions. He has won the three previous fights by the same method (unanimous decision). In his last fight, he defeated Robert Pukac. The 27-year-old has nine wins and two defeats under his belt.
He likes to take down his opponents to the ground and finish them in the parterre. The impressive anthropometric physiques that allow him to work well on the distance should also be underlined.
Experienced French fighter Alex Lohore has been competing professionally since 2014. “Da Killah’s Kid” has 21 wins and allowed eight losses. He has managed to visit various organisations in Europe. In Octagon MMA he made five appearances, and the balance of wins and losses is negative (2-3).
His last fight was against Patrick Kinkle (lost by an elbow knockout) at the end of the first round. The 33-year-old Alex is a versatile fighter. He’s improved by 10 KO/TKO’s and defeated seven more by submission.
