Axel Sola… This name might not mean much to you, but he is someone to keep a close eye on. Competing within the ranks of the Boxing Squad, the mixed martial arts fighter was featured Friday night in the prestigious French MMA organization: the ARES Fighting Championship.
Before making his professional debut, Axel Sola had a very solid career as an amateur. European champion and two-time world runner-up, the Nice native reached the pinnacle by becoming the number one in the world circuit. Turning pro with BRAVE CF in 2021, he did not disappoint by winning all his fights. Now undefeated (5-0-0), his presence at ARES will allow him to gain more visibility with the general public. And what a debut! Facing Paraguayan Cesar Arzamendia, the 25-year-old prodigy did not disappoint by winning via TKO in the third round.
Nice, the capital of prospects?
When you make the (non-exhaustive) list of fighters from Nice’s Boxing Squad, it has enough to intimidate more than a few. Judge for yourself: Manon Fiorot, ranked number two in the flyweight division at the UFC (Note: Ultimate Fighting Championship). Mehdi Dakaev, lightweight champion of Eagle FC, the recent MMA league created in 2020 by Khabib Nurmagomedov. Not to forget Virgil Augen, the undefeated prospect, also present at ARES 16 and winner over Lithuanian Mantas Kondratavicius by submission in the second round. Without a doubt, Axel Sola and his teammates will surely make a name for themselves in the future.
The calm before the storm… Manon Fiorot is set to compete at UFC Paris on September 2nd, against the former strawweight champion of the organization Rose Namajunas!
