Ammari Diedrick: Midlands Fighter Set for OKTAGON Return After First-Round Knockout at OKTAGON 56 in Birmingham
- OKTAGON MMA is the biggest MMA promotion in Europe
- On November 9th, Ammari Diedrick will fight Karol Skrzypek at OKTAGON 63 in Bratislava, Slovakia
- Diedrick will be looking for his first OKTAGON victory outside of the UK
Midlands-based MMA fighter Ammari Diedrick (5-2) is set to make his return to OKTAGON MMA at their upcoming OKTAGON 63 event in Bratislava, Slovakia.
OKTAGON MMA is Europe’s largest MMA promotion, consistently selling out arenas across the continent. OKTAGON 62, their event that directly precedes Diedrick’s fight in Bratislava, is expected to sell 60,000 tickets and break the international attendance record for an MMA event, currently held by the UFC.
Diedrick returns to the cage looking to build upon his devastating knockout victory at OKTAGON 56, which was held at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham. It was his first time fighting in front of a home crowd since 2021, and he did not disappoint his supporters. Facing Daniel Hromek, a fighter who had previously never been stopped, Diedrick landed a powerful left hook, followed by a flurry of punches, and was able to finish Hromek with just four seconds left in the first round.
When asked about how he thinks his next fight will pan out, Ammari Diedrick commented:
“I see this fight going however I want it to. I have prepared really well. My striking is world class and my grappling is improving day by day. This fight will be in my control from start to finish.”
OKTAGON 63 is set for November 9th at the Tipos Aréna in Bratislava, where a sell-out crowd of 10,000 is expected for an action-packed evening. All eyes will be on MMA veteran and reigning OKTAGON light-heavyweight champion Karlos Vémola, as he looks to defend his title against hometown favorite Samuel Krištofič.
