2024 proved to be an exceptional year for Oktagon star Will Fleury (14-3 MMA, 3-0 Oktagon). The 35-year-old Irishman announced his arrival into the promotion’s light heavyweight division in style when he submitted Daniel Škvor at Oktagon 56 in Birmingham, England last April.
He returned to action in October at Oktagon 62: Bigger Than Ever which took place in front of 59,148 screaming fans in Frankfurt, Germany where he knocked out the division’s former champion Pavol Langer in just 91 seconds.
Following that statement victory, the Tipperary native called for a title shot against Karlos Vémola and the matchmakers duly obliged by placing the pair in the co-main event slot on their end-of-year Oktagon 65 card in the Czech Republic.
