UTMA 11 rolled into “Žalgiris Arena” on February 22nd with a card that punched above its weight. The Unique Thai Martial Arts organization, already known in the Baltics for holding some of the biggest local combat sports events, stayed ever-consistent with a packed arena. Fans filled the stands for a heavy lineup featuring top Lithuanian fighters — Vitas Karosas, Dominykas Dirkstys, Dovydas Rimkus, Matas Stebuliauskas, and Henrikas Vikšraitis — all leading up to a blockbuster main event with Sergejus Maslobojevas.

Before the main event, Dominykas Dirkstys went toe-to-toe with Raimondas Krilavičius in a thrilling back-and-forth. Although the referee deducted a point from Krilavičius in the third round, the scorecards still reflected Dirkstys’ narrow edge. Catch the full fight here:

Surprisingly, a portion of the audience left the arena after Dirkstys’ performance—perhaps missing out on Maslobojevas’ knockout finale. The night ended in dramatic fashion when Maslobojevas floored Dutch combatant Jimmy Livinus with a crushing knockout in the second round. Livinus stayed down for a tense moment, but the crowd erupted once Maslobojevas’ victory was made official.

In earlier bouts, Matas Pultaražinskas captivated fans with a head-kick knockout of Justinas Gedminas. Matas Stebuliauskas fell short in his rematch against Henrikas Vikšraitis, dropping a 2–1 split decision. Another highlight was the dramatic conclusion to the trilogy between Arnoldas Misiūnas and Dovydas Rimkus. Misiūnas knocked Rimkus down in the first round, but Rimkus battled back to force an extra round, only for Misiūnas to secure the final nod.

Champion Vitas Karosas overcame a first-round knockdown to send his challenger, Arnestas Naujokas, crashing to the canvas four times. Referee intervention in the second round ended the onslaught, allowing Karosas to retain his title — broken nose and all.
