The welterweight division witnessed a true shockwave at OKTAGON 67 when Mark Hulme stopped Andreas Michailidis with a single devastating left hand. The South African powerhouse, considered a dark horse in the tournament, came into the fight determined to make a statement—and he did just that.
From the opening bell, both fighters traded massive shots, testing each other’s chin and power. Michailidis, known for his durability and experience in the top promotions, looked to dictate the pace with his technical striking. But Hulme had other plans. Midway through the first round, he unleashed a perfectly timed counter, sending Michailidis crashing to the canvas. Despite a brief moment of defense from the Greek fighter, Hulme’s relentless pressure forced the stoppage at 2:20 of the first round.
Now, the welterweight finalist has his sights set on OKTAGON 68, where the stakes are even higher. With the heavyweight title on the line featuring Will Fleury vs. Lazar Todev, this event promises even more explosive action. Can Hulme continue his dominant run, or will the division’s best be able to stop his rise?
