Who will win this prestige fight on October 12 in Frankfurt and thus also the unofficial title “King of GerMMAny”?
If the Octagon 62 betting odds are anything to go by, Christian Eckerlin will secure the prestigious title and become Germany’s MMA king!
Eckerlin, who tried his hand at football as a footballer at Darmstadt 98 in his youth and made it into the U23 team there, has only fought three fights in the last two years.
After his victory against Neves Denilson de Oliveira in October 2022, “Ecki” had to sit out a year. At his comeback at Oktagon 49 in November 2023, he lost to Leandro Silva by decision.
But after that, the 37-year-old returned to his winning ways. In May of this year, Eckerlin won by TKO against Miroslav Broz in round 2 at Octagon 57.
Now, with Christian Jungwirth, a compatriot is waiting against whom it is somehow also about MMA supremacy in Germany.
Jungwirth “The Kelt” has won two of his four MMA fights in 2023 and then lost two. This year, the 36-year-old has had one fight and won it (in March against Robet Pukac by decision).
What makes Jungwirth convincing are his enormous taker qualities. He is almost impossible to get KO’d. Nevertheless, in the Eckerlin vs. Jungwirth forecast, the bookmakers only see him as an outsider…
