Durham’s James Hendin (9-2) will face Austrian prospect Mochamed Machaev (14-2) at Oktagon 62, in front of 58,000 fans at Frankfurt’s iconic Deutsche Bank Park.
Hendin made a winning start to his life as an Oktagon MMA fighter, with a dominant performance at Oktagon 56 in Birmingham earlier this year. He will look to make an even bigger statement as he surges towards title contention when he faces Machaev in Frankfurt.
The Austrian most recently made it to Oktagon MMA’s Tipsport Gamechanger semifinals, where he lost a split-decision to Aicodian Duque. The major European prospect drops down to featherweight and will get a chance to impress on the biggest stage.
Fans in Frankfurt will be treated to a stacked fight card, with many bouts still to be added. The event will be headlined by German crowd favorites and icons: Christian Jungwirth vs Christian Eckerlin.
