On November 12, BEC Arena will host bantamweights England Manny Akpan and Swede Samuel Bark. The fight is planned to start at 22:00 UK time.
In the standup we’ll see frequent exchanges of punches with attempts to hook his opponent’s jaw to then go for the takedown. Black Death can make the parter transition, it adds to his variability in the cage and allows him to get away from his opponent’s dangerous lunges. That being said, I’m leaning towards Manny Akpan winning.
The 25-year-old Englishman Manny Akpan, has been a professional MMA fighter since 2019. His fighting arsenal includes boxing, kickboxing and grappling skills. Akpan was beaten only by Keir Harvie (by submission). Manny defeated Jack Maguire (by the judges’ decision), Liam Molloy (by submission), Ben Ellis (by knockout) and Connor Hitchens (by knockout).
Samuel Bark, a 30-year-old Swede, made his debut in 2021. He has a background in kickboxing. Bark’s only defeated by Alexander Lef (by decision of the judges) is on his record. Sammon Decker defeated Tobias “Bad Intention” Harila (by knockout), Alexandru “The Romanian Sensation” Chitoran (by decision of the judges) and Denis Jurakic (by decision of the judges).
