The stars of the show at Oktagon 57 all hit their contracted weights as the official weigh-ins concluded without any major issues in Frankfurt, Germany.

The main event of the evening will see German fan-favourite Christian Eckerlin take on Czech contender Miroslav Broz in what should be an explosive welterweight matchup, and both men had no trouble making weight, with just 100 grams separating the pair as they took to the scale.

Eckerlin came in at 79.9kg, while Broz was fractionally lighter, at 79.8, as their non-title fight was locked in for the night’s headliner.

The co-main event will see the final first round matchup in the lightweight Tipsport Gamechanger tournament, as former lightweight champion and current featherweight champion Losene Keita takes on former Cage Warriors lightweight champ Agy Sardari.

Both men looked in outstanding shape on the scale, as they registered 70.7 and 70.8kg respectively for the bout, which will see the winner progress to the quarter-finals of the €1 million tournament.

Check out the full list of official weights below.
