Ireland’s Will Fleury has claimed the OKTAGON MMA light-heavyweight world title following a unanimous decision victory against Karlos Vemola last weekend
Fleury was dominant in victory, with all three judges awarding the Irishman 50-44 on the scorecards. Fleury repeatedly rocked the champion on his way to victory and becomes the first Irishman to hold the OKTAGON MMA belt.
Fleury commented, “In 2024, I’ve done absolutely everything I said I was going to do... I don’t know how Karlos survived five rounds. I hit him with everything I had, and he was still standing. What a fighter, what a man.
“I’ve gone and done it, but I have a lot more to do. I’ve had a big ‘24, but I’ve got even bigger plans in 2025. Karlos opened the door for me; he gave me this chance, and now I’m here to stay.”
Former UFC fighter Makhmud Muradov then stepped into the cage to face off with Fleury, teasing a future bout in 2025.
Uzbeki fighter Muradov signed up to OKTAGON last summer and beat Scott Askham by a unanimous decision in September.
