“The recent victory by Nigeria’s MMA star Israel Adesanya in the US is a source of inspiration for me going into the fight with my opponent at OFU Fight Night 2.
“The talent pool in Nigeria is huge and we need more competitions to grow the sport so that future stars can be unearthed.”
In the lightweight category Geoffrey John aka Skullcobra will face off against Chukwuemerie Okoli just as Opara Goodluck collides with Philemon Bitrus Jeb.
The organisers of the competition, One Fight Ultimate, OFU, said this month’s competition is a sequel to the last event tagged OFU Fight Night 1 which was also staged at Redbar Lagos.
The founder/CEO of OFU chief Ife Obiudo who is also the South East representative on the board of Kickboxing Federation of Nigeria promised consistent competition to provide opportunities for budding Nigerian MMA talents at the grassroots.
