Analysis
Krzysztof Jotko is a Polish mixed martial arts fighter, OKTAGON middleweight champion since July 2026. A UFC veteran for nearly nine years, he fought seventeen times there before joining OKTAGON and winning the title.
Career
Krzysztof Jotko was born on August 19, 1989, in Elbląg, Poland, and fights out of Orneta. He turned professional in MMA in June 2010 with a unanimous decision over Robert Balicki at Pro Fight 5. He strung together wins on the Polish and German circuits for three years, including a rear-naked choke submission over Fabian Loewke and a close decision over Bojan Veličković that earned him a Fight of the Night bonus. He moved up a level in December 2013, with a unanimous decision over Bruno Santos at UFC Fight Night 33, marking his debut in the American organization.
UFC Career
Jotko fought seventeen times in the UFC between 2013 and 2022. After a submission loss to Magnus Cedenblad in May 2014, he reeled off four straight wins, including a knockout over Tamdan McCrory at UFC Fight Night 89 in June 2016 that earned him a Performance of the Night bonus. He then lost a close decision to David Branch at UFC 211 in May 2017, followed by two finish losses, knocked out by Uriah Hall in September 2017 and stopped by punches by Brad Tavares in April 2018. He bounced back with four straight wins between 2019 and 2022, over Alen Amedovski, Marc-André Barriault at UFC 240, Eryk Anders and Misha Cirkunov, a run interrupted by a single loss, on points to Sean Strickland in May 2021. His last UFC win, a unanimous decision over Gerald Meerschaert in April 2022, preceded a submission loss to Brendan Allen in October 2022, his final fight in the organization.
PFL and OKTAGON Career
Jotko joined the PFL in 2023. His bout against Will Fleury at PFL 1 in April 2023, lost on points, was changed to a no contest after a positive drug test for clomiphene, which earned him a six-month suspension. He then joined OKTAGON, where he beat Andres Ramos by TKO at FNC 20 in November 2024, then strung together four wins in the organization, over Ion Surdu, Marek Mazúch, Hojat Khajevand and Kerim Engizek by submission at OKTAGON 82 in January 2026, in a middleweight tournament. On July 11, 2026, at OKTAGON 91, he beat Kerim Engizek a second time, this time by unanimous decision, and won the organization’s middleweight belt.
Fighting Style
Jotko builds his style around the judges’ scorecards, with twenty of his thirty wins coming by decision, a profile forged at American Top Team, where he has trained since 2016. His striking has produced eight finishes by KO or TKO, including the one over Tamdan McCrory, rounded out by two submissions, including the rear-naked choke that gave him the first of his two OKTAGON titles against Kerim Engizek. His longevity, seventeen fights in the UFC over nine years, makes him one of the most capped Poles in the organization’s history.
