ACB - Supersonic (MMA)

One of the world's fastest growing MMA promotions, Absolute Championship Berkut (ACB), will stage its debut fight in England at Manchester Arena next year.

ACB have established themselves as the fastest growing MMA on the planet and for their trip to Manchester are putting together a monumental fight card that will introduce fight fans to their breed of high octane, all out action that will hear the Manchester Arena roar come fight night!

With a headline fight that puts ‘Champion vs. Champion’ as the UK’s very own and current Venator Middleweight Champion Luke Barnatt goes up against top 10 Middleweight and current KSW Middleweight Champion Poland’s Mamed Khalidov.

This is an epic battle between two fighters who lay it all on the line every fight. Barnatt is a UFC veteran and riding a current 3 fight win streak which has seen him claim gold in the Italian promotion of Venator and Khalidov is without a doubt one of the most devastating and dominant champions MMA and KSW have ever seen. With a record of 32 wins and just 4 losses and with 29 of those wins coming by way of finish Barnatt will need all his skill and heart to overcome this Polish wrecking machine!

Alongside that ACB have also announced one of the biggest domestic fights possible between two of Manchester’s finest warriors. This is the rematch UK MMA fans have been waiting for - Brendan Loughnane will take on Mike Wilkinson for the second time in a featherweight bout that will bring these two fine local fighters together in the cage for the second time in their careers. Wilkinson took victory in the first back in 2012 and Loughnane is looking for revenge on March 11th 2017.

ACB have also promised a host of big fights, global stars and local talent on the card including the return of top lightweight fighter Saul ‘The Hangman’ Rogers plus many more!
