Analysis
Will Fleury is an Irish mixed martial arts fighter, OKTAGON heavyweight champion since March 2025. Trained at SBG Ireland, he also held the organization’s light heavyweight belt before losing it to Makhmud Muradov in August 2026.
Career
Will Fleury was born on March 13, 1989, in Cahir, County Tipperary, Ireland. He trains at SBG Ireland, the Dublin club that also produced Conor McGregor. He turned professional in MMA in 2016 with an arm triangle choke submission over John Redmond, at the fifteenth Battle Zone FC card. Over the following two years, he strung together wins in Europe, by TKO over Kyle McClurkin at BAMMA 28 then over Gordon Roodman at EFC Worldwide 66, before beating Tarek Suleiman by unanimous decision at Brave CF 10 in March 2018.
Bellator Career
Fleury signed with Bellator and lost his first fight in the American promotion, knocked out by Alen Amedovski at Bellator 203 in July 2018. He bounced back by submitting Shaun Taylor at Bellator 217, then beating Antonio Jones by unanimous decision at Bellator 224. A unanimous decision loss to Norbert Növényi Jr at Bellator 227 followed in September 2019. He rebounded by submitting Justin Moore at Bellator 240 in February 2020.
UAE Warriors and PFL Career
After a submission loss to Maciej Różański at EFM 3 in June 2020, Fleury strung together two decision wins, over Kent Kauppinen at Bellator Milan 2 then over Hojat Khajevand at EFM Show 2. In March 2022, he avenged his loss to Tarek Suleiman and won UAE Warriors’ first middleweight belt, at UAE Warriors 28 in Abu Dhabi. He then moved to the PFL, where he beat Anthony Salamone by unanimous decision in August 2022. His next fight, a points win over Krzysztof Jotko at PFL 1 in April 2023, was changed to a no contest after a positive drug test for drostanolone, which earned him a nine-month suspension.
OKTAGON Career
Fleury joined OKTAGON in 2024. He submitted Daniel Škvor at OKTAGON 56 in April, then knocked out Pavol Langer at OKTAGON 62 in October. On December 29, 2024, at OKTAGON 65, he beat Karlos Vémola by unanimous decision and won the light heavyweight belt. On March 8, 2025, at OKTAGON 68, he also claimed the vacant heavyweight title by beating Lazar Todev by unanimous decision, becoming only the second fighter in the organization’s history to hold titles in two divisions at once. He defended his heavyweight belt by TKO over Martin Buday at OKTAGON 81 in December 2025, then by knockout over Kasim Aras at OKTAGON 90 in June 2026. On August 1, 2026, at OKTAGON 92, he lost his light heavyweight title, stopped by TKO in the second round by Makhmud Muradov. He remains the organization’s heavyweight champion.
Fighting Style
Fleury is a power striker, who has finished eight of his seventeen wins before the final bell, five by KO or TKO and four by submission. His knockout wins over Pavol Langer and Kasim Aras show an ability to end a fight with a single punch. He rounds out that puncher’s profile with a submission game built at SBG Ireland, with two arm triangle chokes among his finishes, and enough activity in decisions to earn eight points wins over five or three rounds.
