Karlos Vémola weighed in at exactly 89 kilograms for his upcoming Oktagon mixed martial arts bout, hitting the precise limit for the agreed catchweight category ahead of the weekend event. The 41-year-old Czech veteran arrived at the venue wearing a hooded sweatshirt before stripping down for the official scale check under strict supervision.
Weigh-In Results and Staredown Dynamics
Vémola’s opponent, the undefeated German fighter Vosgröne, matched the exact weight target during the session. Despite hitting the limit, physical observations during the pre-fight media appearances highlighted a noticeable size difference between the competitors. According to reports from the venue highlighted by combat sports outlet Cold Finish on social media, Vosgröne appeared visibly smaller and slightly unsteady during the final faceoff compared to the heavier-looking Czech athlete.
The bout marks the 48th professional appearance for Vémola, a former Oktagon champion in both the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions. Vosgröne enters the cage for his sixth professional contest, putting his unblemished record on the line in a high-profile matchup slated as part of the promotion’s Celebrity Series.
