After the weigh-in and line-up of all MMA fighters, Cage Fight Series 16 can begin! On Friday, PLUS subscribers(see our offers here) can watch all the pre-fights of the spectacle at Schwarzlsee near Graz from 5.30 pm.

Hard workouts are a thing of the past, in the last few days before a fight it's all about keeping the body in shape and sweating off the last few kilos. After all, martial artists have to master their first day of truth barefoot, as unclothed as possible, without gloves and (at best) without violence - at the official weigh-in!

This traditionally took place on Thursday evening at the Amedia Airport Hotel in Graz. All users were able to take a first look at the cage fighters from abroad and within Austria, who were also placed opposite each other for photos.

Wacks or wolf masks - a show is a must!
Some fighters put on a show, flexed their muscles and had "nice" words for their opponents. There were no Oscar-worthy slaps like before the hyped-up super duel between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. But local hero Daniel "Badmoon" Schordje at least came back in a wolf mask.

The fact is that all the fighters are already fully focused on their fight at the Schwarzl Leisure Center in Styria. With their Cage Fight Series, Austria's MMA pioneers Gerhard and Michael Ettl have been offering local amateurs and professionals a first-class stage to compete against international opponents for many years. Rough diamonds and veterans not only improve their skills and inspire the fans, but also have the chance to put themselves in the line-up for the really, really big professional series.
