Stuart Austin might be on the warpath to heavyweight gold with his latest victory at OKTAGON 52 on January 28.
"He-Man" put together his third victory in a row by knocking down and submitting Adam Palasz with an arm triangle late in the second round. With this win, Austin secures his first three-fight win streak since 2014.
The British heavyweight holds the only objective victory over UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, securing a submission victory via heel hook back in 2015. Aspinall's other losses stem from injury and disqualification, making "He-Man's" accomplishment all the more outstanding.
Austin's record features prominent names like Bruno Cappelozza, Renan Ferreira, Satoshi Ishii, Johnny Walker, and Dalcha Lungiambula.
Following his OKTAGON 52 victory, Austin is poised to claim the top spot in the heavyweight rankings. A clash with Hatef Moeil for the title appears imminent. Having navigated through Bellator, PFL, and now OKTAGON, fans may soon be hoping to see Austin take a run at the UFC. The narrative surrounding him and Aspinall would certainly turn heads.
