"For sure. I know when I win this fight, I will be the next on the line. I know this. Who else can fight for the title?"
"I'm the only one with 5-0 in Oktagon. And when I win the next fight, I'm 6-0. No one else has my run."
"Yes, I want to go there, I want to see the fight. Because I want to see who wins this fight, and we will see. Yes, I want to see this fight of course."
Gjoni Palokaj holds a 12-3 record with seven straight wins, five under the Oktagon MMA banner. Palokaj meets James Hendin at Oktagon 82 in Dusseldorf, a fight that functions as a title eliminator. A victory would extend his Oktagon streak to 6-0 and position him as the likely next challenger for the vacant featherweight belt. The vacant title will be contested at Oktagon 83 between Niko Samsonidse and Mochamed Machaev. Palokaj acknowledges friendship with Samsonidse and expresses reluctance to face him but accepts the possibility. Palokaj plans to stay active in 2026 with fights in Hanover and Frankfurt.
