Resolution Criteria
The fight is set for three rounds. The market resolves YES if the fight reaches Round 3 (meaning the fight continues past the end of Round 2). The market resolves NO if the fight ends before Round 3 begins (via knockout, submission, or decision after two rounds). Resolution will be determined via official OKTAGON results posted on Sherdog or Tapology.
Background
This is the middleweight final of the Tipsport Gamechanger tournament, featuring OKTAGON middleweight champion Kerim Engizek against elite Polish veteran Krzysztof Jotko. Engizek, 34, is on a 17-fight win streak and has cruised through the tournament with wins over Kamil Oniszczuk, Mick Stanton and Dominik Humburger. Jotko, 36, is on a four-fight win streak and has defeated Ion Surdu, Marek Mazuch and Hojat Khajevand in the tournament. The winner collects 300,000 euros and the Tipsport Gamechanger crown.
Considerations
The event has sold out with 15,000 fans at PSD Bank Dome, indicating high stakes and intensity. Both fighters have demonstrated durability through the tournament, though Engizek's recent war with Humburger at OKTAGON 77 went the full three rounds and earned "Fight of the Year" consideration, suggesting both men are capable of extended exchanges.
