Let’s get down to business. The two rising stars of French MMA will both fight for a world title at Ares on December 15th.
Members of the Boxing Squad, Axel Sola and Virgil Augen are climbing the ranks impressively. The former only joined the premier French organization this summer. One fight and he’s already up for the title… After a successful start at Brave, the Nicois is determined to make a name for himself nationally before aiming for the stars across the Atlantic. And what can we say about Virgil Augen? Having entered the league managed by Fernand Lopez a little earlier than his counterpart, in November 2022, the athlete does not intend to miss the chance to claim the under 84 kilos belt, left vacant by Abdoul Abdouraguimov, who is now in the PFL.
“No time”
Not wasting time is somewhat the motto of the Boxing Squad. With athletes like Manon Fiorot or Mehdi Dakaev, in addition to our two young wolves, Aldric Cassata has an armada ready to conquer the highest spheres of MMA.
Before that, Virgil Augen will have to face Henrique Shiguemoto, a Japanese-Brazilian athlete who has been competing in international circuits since 2007. Popular in Asia, he remained undefeated for nearly seven years before ultimately failing at Dana White’s Contender Series (UFC). He made his debut at Ares last year and won by KO against Pietro Penini. Quite a challenge ahead then. Axel Sola, on the other hand, will face Turpal Younosov, a mixed martial arts phenomenon hailing from Chechnya. Unbeaten as well, the MMA Factory member is keen on slowing down the Sola hype, who eagerly awaits him.
