Regarded as one of England’s most promising MMA hopes for the future, George Staines is ready to put on a show at Oktagon 61.
The Hull fighter makes his eagerly-anticipated comeback against former title challenger Jakub Tichota.
George Staines is excited to write the next chapter of his story at Oktagon 61
Blessed with formidable grappling skills and a fantastic fighting IQ, many believe George Staines has what it takes to go all the way to the top.
However, his next test is anything but simple.
In front of a packed house at the Winning Group Arena in Brno, Czech Republic, the 24-year-old will have to overcome a dangerous competitor, whose only stoppage loss has come at the hands of pound-for-pound superstar Losene Keita.
During his encounter with ‘The Black Panther’, Tichota showed remarkable heart, battling through several knockdowns to extend the Belgian into the third round.
Therefore, in order to claim the victory, Staines will have to be on his A-game.
However, having proven he can perform under pressure after overcoming monumental amounts of trash talk to dominate Denis Frimpong in the final of Oktagon Challenge: England vs Ireland, the gifted wrestler knows a thing or two about rising to the occasion.
Now, training with Paddy Pimblett, Molly McCann and Shem Rock at Next Gen MMA, Liverpool, combat sports enthusiasts are hoping the up-and-comer will look better than ever before.
The fight at Oktagon 61, which is available for UK fans to watch live on DAZN, will give a fantastic insight into exactly where Staines is at, as he takes the next step on his journey to global supremacy.
