Surdu Stripped Before Oktagon 79 in Brno as Only Andrej Kalašnik Can Win Welterweight Title

A doctor-ordered stop at 178 pounds leaves only Andrej Kalašnik eligible to win the vacant belt.

Overview

  • Ion Surdu was removed as champion and ruled ineligible for the title after weighing in eight pounds over the welterweight championship limit.
  • If Surdu wins the main event, the welterweight belt will remain vacant under standard title rules.
  • Surdu was fined 50% of his purse for missing weight, reflecting stricter enforcement around weight cutting.
  • Radek Roušal came in two pounds over featherweight and was docked 20% of his purse.
  • Oktagon 79 took place at Winning Group Arena in Brno and streamed live on Oktagon.tv, with the full card and results published.
