On December 29, he will take on No. 8 ranked Jakub Bahník in a lightweight matchup. The fight will go down at OKTAGON 65, at the O2 Arena in Prague.
“OKTAGON’s most controversial fighter is hated by Czech and Slovak fans, but one thing is for certain – he is performing in the cage in ways we have never seen. Malach, Catacoli and “Jubox” have all fallen before him in the 1st round,” OKTAGON MMA wrote in a statement on Instagram.
Shem Rock is a former champion of three MMA promotions, including Clan Wars and FCC.
All of his 11 wins have come via stoppage finishes, ten of them in the first round. In his last fight he defeated his rival Jaroslav Pokorny via rear-naked choke in the first round.
The OKTAGON 65 fight card also features the lightweight tournament finals between lightweight champion Ronald Paradeiser and featherweight champion Losene Keita.
