With a card boasting ten electrifying bouts, including a heavyweight showdown for the ages, it’s no wonder anticipation is sky-high.

Moderator: Thierry, thanks for joining us. Hexagon MMA 23 is shaping up to be something special.What are your initial thoughts on the card?
Thierry Sokoudjou: Absolutely, it’s a fantastic lineup. You’ve got established names like Allan Landouzy and Paul Dena facing off, which is a surefire heavyweight clash. But what excites me are the young guns rising through the ranks. Guys like Theo Ulrich and Clement Giordanengo – they’re hungry, they’re talented, and they bring a fresh energy to the sport.
moderator: You mention Landouzy and Dena.That’s the main event everyone’s talking about. Both are incredibly strong and skilled. Who do you see coming out on top?
Thierry Sokoudjou: It’s a tough one. Landouzy has that explosive power, the knockout threat that can change a fight in an instant. Dena,conversely,is more technical,a master of control and strategy.I think it’ll come down to who can impose their game plan effectively.Landouzy needs to be careful not to get drawn into a grappling war, while Dena needs to avoid getting caught by a haymaker. It’s a true clash of styles.

Thierry Sokoudjou: It’s crucial.You need the veterans setting the standard, but you also need the young fighters pushing the boundaries. Hexagon provides that platform. They’re not just putting on fights; they’re building a legacy, nurturing the future of French MMA. It’s a smart investment, and I think we’ll see the results in the years to come.
Moderator: Completelly agree. Looking at the rest of the card, any other bouts you have your eye on?
Thierry Sokoudjou: The women’s fights are always exciting. Mathilde Aschenbrenner is a force to be reckoned with, and her bout against Gracy Maia is going to be a technical battle. And let’s not forget about Ugo-Antton Vidal, a rising star in the lightweight division. Keep an eye on him – he’s got a bright future.
