OKTAGON, one of the most exciting mixed martial arts promotions, is set to make its return to the UK next month. Liverpool’s own Shem Rock, ranked #6 in the division, will be making his highly-anticipated comeback at OKTAGON 56. The event will take place at Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena on April 20 and will be broadcast live on DAZN. Rock, with an impressive record of 9-1-1, will be facing off against Stefano Catacoli, ranked #7. This fight promises to be a thrilling clash between two top contenders. The main event of the night will feature the €1million Tipsport Gamechanger 2 tournament bout between Akonne Wanliss and Sahil Siraj. In his last fight, Rock secured a victory over Jan Malach in July of 2023. Now, he is ready to take on Catacoli, who is riding a three-fight win streak since his OKTAGON debut in December.
