The Tipperary MMA star is fighting to secure his future and his legacy this weekend at Oktagon 62.
Irish MMA star Will Fleury heads into his bout with Pavol Langer at Oktagon 62 this weekend well aware that there’s more at stake than just a fight.
“I was pretty emotional before that fight even just because I think if I hadn't done that, I probably would have stopped fighting,” says Fleury. “And look where I am now. I’m in a number one contender fight on Saturday evening. I’m in a good position overall and there’s a chance there at financial security.
“The main reason I signed with Oktagon was to be a champion and to leave a legacy, and to have something at the end of all of this.
