Oktagon UK Returns to Newcastle

McHugh, who trains at Liverpool’s renowned Next Generation gym, has been eagerly seeking a rematch since their first bout. Despite struggling with a back injury during their initial fight, McHugh is determined to prove himself and secure a victory in the upcoming clash.
Commenting on the rematch, McHugh stated, "I don’t want to make excuses, but I accepted the OKTAGON Challenge opportunity on short notice, and I was suffering from a back injury. When I attempted the takedown, my back gave out, and Armand capitalized by catching me in the guillotine. I have no doubt that I am better than him, and I’m ready to show it in the ring."
Armand, on the other hand, confidently responded, "I choked him out in 34 seconds. If he wants to face me again, he can have it."
In addition to the highly anticipated rematch, the event will feature an exciting clash between former bantamweight champion Jonas Magard and former Cage Warriors champion Jack Cartwright. These two skilled fighters are expected to deliver an exhilarating showdown that fans won’t want to miss.
