Birmingham’s Akonne Wanliss is charging towards European MMA glory in OKTAGON MMA’s 2024 ‘Tipsport Gamechanger’ tournament. As the sole UK fighter among 16 lightweights, he’s targeting the biggest prize in European MMA. Transitioning from stage performer to MMA fighter, Wanliss has rapidly risen in the ranks, known for his electrifying cage presence.

Wanliss debuted with a knockout in July 2023 and overcame a no contest setback with resilience. He’s also known for coaching on the reality show, OKTAGON Challenge: England vs Ireland. Ahead of the tournament, Wanliss is training hard, breaking records, and staying injury-free, ready to “unleash the force.”

He’s eager for the challenge, noting, “No one can say no to fighting me.” Wanliss aims to become a millionaire, the top lightweight, and dominate Europe’s MMA scene.
