Czech MMA fighter Dominik Humburger is making waves in the Oktagon MMA promotion—and he’s not afraid to speak his mind. After a string of impressive victories, the 28-year-old welterweight has set his sights on a high-profile showdown with undefeated American prospect Joe Kincle, even as also delivering some unforgettable moments both inside and outside the cage.
From Red Beret to Victory: Humburger’s Dominant Oktagon 77 Performance
Humburger’s most recent triumph came at Oktagon 77 in Prague, where he entered the cage wearing a striking red beret—a nod to his unorthodox fighting style and larger-than-life personality. The crowd erupted as he dismantled his opponent, securing a decisive victory that had even high-ranking officials taking notice. Among those offering congratulations? A Czech Army general, who personally greeted Humburger post-fight, adding a surreal twist to an already memorable night.
“I didn’t expect that,” Humburger later admitted with a laugh. “But I’ll seize it. If the military wants to support me, I’m all for it.”
A Fighter’s Mindset: “That Madman Still Lives”
Humburger isn’t just known for his skills—he’s also gained a reputation for his bold, unfiltered personality. In a recent interview, he reflected on his mental approach to fighting, referencing the shocking moment when former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jiří Procházka unexpectedly vacated his title in 2023. “I couldn’t believe it,” Humburger said. “That’s the kind of move that makes you question everything. But it also reminded me—this sport is full of surprises. You’ve got to stay ready.”
His words underscore a fighter’s mentality: adaptable, resilient, and always hungry for the next challenge. And right now, that challenge has a name—Joe Kincle.
The Kincle Showdown: “I Seek That Fight”
With a 12-3 professional record and a growing fanbase, Humburger has made it clear he’s aiming for the top. After his Oktagon 77 win, he didn’t hold back when asked about his future. “I want to fight Kincle,” he declared. “He’s undefeated, he’s dangerous, and he’s exactly the kind of opponent I demand to prove myself.”
The statement caught even Oktagon’s promoter off guard. In a viral moment captured on camera, Humburger casually dropped the Kincle challenge during a post-fight interview, leaving the promoter momentarily speechless before breaking into laughter. “You’re serious?” the promoter asked. Humburger’s response? A confident smirk and a nod.
Kincle, a 9-0 rising star in the UFC’s welterweight division, has yet to respond publicly. But if the fight materializes, it could be one of the most anticipated matchups in European MMA this year.
Facing a Former ONE FC Champion: A Test of Skill
Humburger’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. In a recent bout, he faced Zein Saliba, a former ONE FC champion with a reputation for toughness. The fight was a true test of Humburger’s striking and grappling, but he rose to the occasion, outworking Saliba over three grueling rounds to earn a unanimous decision victory.
“I knew it wouldn’t be easy,” Humburger said afterward. “But I’ve been training for moments like this. Every fight is a lesson, and I’m getting better.”
What’s Next for the Czech Contender?
With his sights set on Kincle, Humburger’s next move could define his career. A win against the undefeated American would not only catapult him into UFC contention but also solidify his status as one of Europe’s most exciting welterweight prospects.
For now, fans are left wondering: Will Kincle accept the challenge? And if he does, will Humburger’s bold predictions come true inside the cage?
One thing’s for certain—this “madman” isn’t going anywhere.
