Shem Rock, Oktagon 58

Shem Rock plans to “retire” Jaroslav Poikorny at OKTAGON 58

Interview with Shem Rock below

Shem Rock (10-1-1) discusses his lightweight fight against Jaroslav Poikorny (16-11) at OKTAGON 48 on June 8. Shem also spoke about this fight being rescheduled for a third time, training with Paddy Pimblett and why he believes he’ll retire Poikorny this Saturday.

“Honestly he’s very awkward, which can sometimes throw you off on people’s skillsets. He ain’t s**t on my shoe, I honestly think I’ll beat him anywhere the fight goes. If he wants to grapple, I’ll out grapple him, if he wants to strike, I’ll outstrike him. I’m going to retire him June 8th.”
