Newman's very own halftime show will take place between the preliminary card and the main event.

“We’ve managed to build a brand that fans can trust, and they know that an OKTAGON event will be great fun and an enjoyable experience," said OKTAGON MMA co-owner, Pavol Neruda. "Especially in Frankfurt, we really feel at home here, and now that the event is here, and we are set to sell out the football stadium, it feels amazing."

"While offering amazing fights, we also want to give our fans world-class entertainment, and to have John Newman performing is really exciting. We want our fans to come with their family and friends and have an amazing night, and know that in their hearts they want to come back." 

OKTAGON MMA boasts the highest yearly attendance figures of any MMA promotion in Europe, with past events drawing in crowds of 28,000+ people. They'll look to double that at OKTAGON 62 on Oct. 12.
