OKTAGON has its first event of 2024 and it features a highly anticipated fight at OKTAGON 52 this Saturday. Jonas Magard has had Jack Cartwright in his crosshairs for years, so when his rival joined the promotion, he lined himself up for the fight he wanted. Shortly after Cartwright dispatched Junior Assis via first-round finish at OKTAGON 48, Magard entered the cage with a challenge.
OKTAGON wasted no time scheduling Magard vs. Cartwright, which has a lot on the line personally and professionally.
“I want to fight everybody in the division, I’m not bothered, I’ll fight any man, anywhere, but Jonas is next,” said Cartwright ahead of the fight. “Jonas says he’s wanted to fight me for a long time, but he could’ve fought me three years ago. He’s a liar. He annoys me, he’s got a punchable face, and when I hit him, he’ll know he’s made a mistake. Jonas, you’ve made a mistake.”
As for Magard, the ‘Shark’ says Cartwright is in for a tough time.
“I’ve always had my eyes on him, and I’ve always known that I could beat him,” said Magard. “That time is now. I’m the best version of myself, and not a man on this planet can beat me. I’m coming there to take his head off.”
The winner of Magard vs. Cartwright could get a championship opportunity against OKTAGON champion Felipe Lima, so tune in to see who cements themselves as the next No. 1 contender.
