The new combat sports organization G MMA has announced its inaugural tournament, ‘G MMA & Grandwin 1 Samhain’, scheduled for October 31, 2026, at the Nová Spirála in Prague. Promoted by Jakub Jíra and Martin Kocourek, the project aims to blend professional fighting with internet-style entertainment and reality programming through its own streaming platform, GTV.

The event is characterized by a controversial and unconventional lineup. Reported participants include political figures such as former Prime Minister Jiří Paroubek and Miroslav Sládek, alongside convicted murderer Jiří Kajínek. The tournament also features a match between radical AC Sparta Prague fans and police officers.

A specific bout between Oktagon light heavyweight champion Makhmud Muradov and members of the Kotlár family has drawn significant scrutiny. Muradov has characterized the fight as a financial decision to support his family, noting he expects a payout exceeding five million CZK. This matchup has drawn criticism from Oktagon CEO Ondřej Novotný, who described the bout as a ‘desecration’ and a stain on Muradov’s career due to concerns regarding the integrity of the G MMA organization. Critics have further raised concerns that the organization prioritizes ‘internet bizarre’ and entertainment over traditional sporting standards, citing potential chaos and unclear rules.
