Fighting out of Manchester Top Team!! Denis Frimpong joins Ike on the Podcast to discuss his past fights and fight career. If I am honest what really caught my eye with Denis was his fighting style; one of his finishes in his past fights! He also speaks about his time with Team Ireland whilst being in the Oktagon MMA House! 

A very intelligent, talented, articulate fighter and gentleman.
