Headlining the event, Nigeria’s Patrick “Star Boi” Ocheme will face off against Guinea’s Mohamed Camara in a thrilling Featherweight First Round bout.

Both fighters are regarded as two of West Africa’s finest MMA practitioners, making this matchup a must-see for fans and enthusiasts alike.

Additionally, fellow Nigerian athlete Wasi “The Nigerian Jaguar” Adeshina will take on Jean Jacques Lubaya from the Democratic Republic of Congo, while rising star Kunle “Nigerian Ninja” Lawal will compete against Cameroon’s Desmond Tamungang in a Welterweight Alternate Bout.
