Oktagon MMA debuted in the United Kingdom on Saturday, with Oktagon 48 set for the AO Arena in Manchester, England.
The main event would crown the promotion’s inaugural flyweight champion, with Aaron Aby taking on Elias Garcia for the honor. It was the co-main event, however, that arguably had a bigger British star in action, with former KSW middleweight champ Scott Askham making his debut for the company in a 204 pound catchweight against Marc Doussis.
