Across The Pond Profile: Oktagon MMA fighter Brian Manning | MMA UK

As a rule, MMA fighters never feel completely comfortable when they are in one place for an extended period of time. In today’s episode of Across the pond, you’ll meet a clover stargazer ready to skyrocket his career stakes and burst the German bubble at middleweight for Oktagon MMA. Professional mixed martial artist and representative since September 2024 MMA Cork, Brian Manning owns a 5-0 record consisting of four knockouts and one submission. He has fought for Cage Conflict, Elite Fighting Championship and Virtus MMA and has spent his entire career in the United Kingdom. Manning has never taken to the scorecards with a 100 percent finish rate under his belt during his career as a professional MMA fighter, as evidenced by his five professional appearances. All of Manning’s finishes during his journey through the professional ranks have been within two rounds.

During his professional MMA debut at Elite Fighting Championship 2, he faced Jordaan Heide and then defeated him via technical knockout in the first round. Manning also defeated Vanderley Junior via first-round TKO at Elite Fighting Championship 3. He then defeated Modern Warfare at Cage Conflict 15 Delmar Silva via technical knockout in the first round. Manning submitted Sean Kelly in the second round via rear-naked choke to earn his first and only submission victory as a professional at Virtus MMA 4.

At Elite Fighting Championship 5 he defeated Daniel Karlsson via TKO in round one. The win secured Manning the fourth knockout victory of his professional career. He also scored his fifth straight victory to kick off his career as a professional mixed martial artist. Manning is an eagle-eyed prospect whose eagle-eyed view never misses a moment of the action and never misses an opportunity to take advantage of a quick cash transaction to keep Irish eyes smiling and his winnings filled and sustained at any time of the year!
