Some time ago, when the promoter Ondřej Novotný mentioned in his broadcast that there would be a relatively large wave of layoffs, few people imagined that 50 names would leave the yellow and black stable. Although “he will leave” is perhaps a bit exaggerated, since many fighters from the list have already managed to fight elsewhere or have publicly announced that they are no longer in the OCTAGON. Among such names was Frimpong, who, however, did not appear on the final list, which the promoter explained. However, he now has a confirmed fight with the competition…

“Frimpong isn’t going anywhere. You can’t trust Frimpong with your nose between your eyes. He’s under contract until the end of next year, so…” promoter Novotný recently denied that Frimpong had left OKTAGON, which he himself claimed, but it turned out not to be true. So it wasn’t true at the time. The question is how it will go now that Frimpong has a confirmed match with a competitor.
The profile of PFL Europe on 28.9. announced the Lawal vs Frimpong duel to be played in Glasgow. But the question is, is Frimpong allowed to take off? Novotný mentioned that the OKTAGON contract is still valid, but Frimpong evidently does not agree with this and starts fighting against the management.
“Yes, I have definitely left OCTAGON. They broke the contract at the beginning of the deal. They did not pay on time and in full the contracted amount. According to its own words in the contract, it was therefore invalid from that point. It is written there that if he does not fulfill the contractual obligations, the contract is invalid. The contract is terminated due to their own negligence,” explained Frimpong for MMA Fanaticwhy he believes that the contract is invalid.
However, we all know very well that the contracts are designed in such a way that the organization has all the aces up its sleeve and the fighter has only a minimum of options. Would Frimpong outsmart the management? It seems very unlikely, but we will see how the situation develops. After all, the PFL match is only a few weeks away, so it will surely be clear soon.
