“MMA and 1inch share common values, such as adventurousness, striving for excellence, and the ability to withstand challenges,” says Sergej Kunz, 1inch co-founder. “The first stage of cooperation with OKTAGON MMA was successful, and we are thrilled to enter a new phase of our partnership.”

"With 1inch, we feel a strong alignment between the core values of our brands and we highly appreciate the fact that this partnership continues because it helps us fulfill our vision of becoming the Champions League of MMA in Europe,” comments Pavol Neruda, co-owner of OKTAGON MMA.

"Together with 1inch, we are looking forward to creating even more unforgettable experiences for our fans, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of combat sports."
