Frederic Vosgrone has left his future with Oktagon MMA in doubt after publicly criticising the promotion for poor treatment.
Vosgrone has shot to stardom in the MMA world this year, drawing comparisons to fighters like Brock Lesnar and Paddy Pimblett under the gigantic European banner.
The 29-year-old scored another dominant win at Oktagon 76 on Saturday night, extending his undefeated record to 5-0 by submitting Fabio Moraes in the first round at the Festhalle in Frankfurt.
Ahead of the fight, Vosgrone had been promoted as the star of the show, embodying his ‘Neanderthal’ nickname to attract thousands of MMA fans.
He received so much backing from the promotion that his next fight had already been booked for October 18 in Cologne.
However, in a shocking turn of events, fans have been left uncertain about Vosgrone’s future after he publicly denounced his promotion for all to see.
Frederic Vosgrone slams Oktagon MMA for ‘s***’ treatment
“I don’t know if I’m going to fight at Oktagon again,” Vosgrone told talkSPORT.com and members of the media at Oktagon 76’s post-fight press conference, and the room fell silent.
“I don’t know if I’m going to fight again for an organisation that treats me like s*** every time I fight here, or if I am attending an event.
“So, I don’t know if the fight in Cologne is going to happen. That’s all I have to say.”
Why was Vosgrone so upset?
Reports have suggested that Vosgrone is eyeing a switch to the Fight Nation Championship (FNC) after disagreements with Oktagon MMA in his first two promotional fights.
Vosgrone was apparently left furious after his girlfriend was denied fighter accreditation in Frankfurt on Saturday, meaning she could not enter the cage after his win.
This stemmed from an earlier incident in Prague at Oktagon 72, which witnessed Czechia fighting legend Karlos Vemola bow out of the sport after a 47-fight, 17-year career.

“FNC is doing high-quality events and, from what I know, treats everyone well.
“Fun fact about Oktagon. They didn’t want to give my wife water in Prague in 30 degrees heat. They only gave water if it’s for me lol.”

Another added: “He was nobody before Oktagon, will be nobody after he leaves.”
While a third said: “Ungrateful crybaby… just because security didn’t let his girlfriend into the cage.”
Others thought the German may be trying to force an exit from the promotion.
One said: “Come to the UFC.”
Another responded: “Dana White will likely give him a shot in the UFC, he’s famous.”
A third wrote: “He is begging UFC for a contract. He might end up in PFL.”
