At PML 20: Araver Fight Night, all eyes will be on a headline clash that could reshape the future of the 65kg division. Slovakia’s own Lukáš Mandinec returns to defend his title, but standing in his way is the dangerous and determined Roman Kučera.
Mandinec has long been regarded as one of the premier fighters in the Czech-Slovak scene. With over 80 professional bouts to his name, his resume speaks for itself. A WMC National Champion, Intercontinental Champion, and former European Champion, Mandinec has consistently proven his elite status. His dominance was on full display at PML 15, where he stunned fans by finishing top contender Borák in the very first round.
Now, he faces a new challenge.
Roman Kučera enters this bout as the division’s #2 contender, carrying both momentum and ambition. With an impressive 6–1 record in PML competition, Kučera has built his reputation on defeating high-level opponents such as Holec, Vaňka, Hudeček, and Hrabica. Focused and fearless, he arrives in Trenčín ready to seize the biggest opportunity of his career.
This is more than just a title defense, it’s a clash of eras. Will Mandinec solidify his reign as king of the division, or will Kučera rise to usher in a new chapter?
One thing is certain: this battle between two elite competitors is not to be missed.
