    I don't know if this has been raised on the site before but i have only recently come across a few statements regarding it and over the weekend, watching Macheda vs Romero, it was mentioned again which peaked my interest

    The octagon used at the weekend was a "smaller" version than what is used elsewhere. Can anyone explain why this happens?? is it up to the relevant commission in the area where a fight happens that determines what size the use? Why cant we have a 1 size only octagon?

    Size of the venue usually dictates the size of the octagon.

    It's really no different to different sizes football pitches.
