How to Watch Oktagon MMA 52

Get ready for a night of bone-crushing action as Oktagon MMA, a European fight spectacle, descends upon Newcastle, England, with its much-anticipated Octagon 52 event this Saturday at Utilita Arena.

In a headlining bout dripping with history, former training partners collide. Jonas Magard, a two-time Oktagon champion, squares off against Jack Cartwright, a three-time Cage Warriors Fighting Championship titleholder. The cage will witness a clash of styles, strategies and a personal history that adds an extra layer of intensity to a bout that may very well determine the next bantamweight title challenger.

The main card showcases other seasoned warriors seeking glory. Matej Penaz, known for his killer instinct, steps up against former middleweight champion Matthew Bonner. In another barnburner, Jan Siroky brings his fiery Ostrava temper to England, taking on UK Oktagon Challenge finalist Denis Frimpong. The heavyweight division will witness a clash of titans, as Adam Palasz, Oktagon’s No. 1-ranked heavyweight, faces off against No. 2-ranked Stuart Austin. This matchup has championship implications, with the winner positioning himself for a shot at the ultimate glory. Before the main event, the undercard introduces rising stars and seasoned contenders. Undefeated Max Holzer squares off against the indestructible Corey Fry, and hard-hitting Eduard Kexel takes on Rafael Hudson. Every bout could be a steppingstone to greatness.
