Liverpool's Shem Rock is returning to action on December 29 at OKTAGON 65 where he will face striking specialist Jakub Bahník.

Rock has produced back-to-back finishes this year with consecutive first round submission victories over Stefano Catacoli and Jaroslav Pokorny.

He will now look to end his 2024 campaign by going 3-0 this year when he takes on the Czech Republic's Bahník.

In the official announcement of this match-up for the O2 Arena in Prague, OKTAGON describes Rock as the most controversial fighter on the roster, stating that his opponent will be out for revenge after what the Next Generation MMA athlete did to Pokorny last time out.

The card also features a huge main event, one of the biggest match-ups that the promotion could possibly put together right now.

In the finals of the Tipsport Gamechanger Tournament, lightweight champion Ronald Paradeiser defends against Losene Keita in one of the best European bouts of the year.

Also scheduled for this card to close out the year is a vacant women's bantamweight title fight as Lucie Pudilová takes on Lucia Szabová.

It's stacking up to be a huge night for OKTAGON as they close out the year in style.

With Shem Rock added to the card, you know he's going to bring the entertainment as always.
