Let’s get into it. Mick ‘The Huyton Hammer’ Stanton, a legend from Liverpool and a true warrior of the cage, has just signed a deal with OKTAGON MMA. He’s set to clash at OKTAGON 56 in Birmingham on April 20th, facing off against Kamil Wojciechowski.
Stanton, with a record of 12-8, is well-known for his gutsy performances and his ability to stand and bang. He’s the kind of fighter that doesn’t know when to quit, making him a firm favourite among the fans. His opponent, Poland’s Kamil Wojciechowski, comes in at 8-1, making this a tough first fight for Stanton under the OKTAGON banner.
OKTAGON 56 isn’t just another event; it’s the promotion’s third time bringing the action to the UK, following killer shows in Manchester and Birmingham. This card is stacked with UK talent, including Aaron Aby, Shem Rock, George Staines, and Denis Frimpong.
Pavol Neruda, one of the brains behind OKTAGON MMA, shared his excitement about bringing the show back to the UK. He said, “The whole team feels so comfortable and happy in the UK. Something clicked at OKTAGON 52, and now there’s this magic bond between the UK and OKTAGON. After Newcastle, the vibes were unreal – everyone was buzzing, hitting the dancefloor, loving life. The atmosphere was top-notch, and the locals couldn’t have been more welcoming.”
Neruda added, “We had some big names at the show, and they were all raving about the production quality. That means the world to us, and we’re pumped to bring that same energy to Birmingham. We’re feeling right at home in the UK now, and we’re bringing that positivity to the next show.”
He also mentioned, “We’ve got the full fight card ready to rock, which is rare this far out from the event. But we’re just that excited to get back at it.”
So, there you have it. OKTAGON MMA is coming back to Birmingham with a bang, and Mick ‘The Huyton Hammer’ Stanton is ready to show what he’s made of. This is going to be one hell of a fight night, and I, for one, can’t wait to see it all go down.
