Three Fighters to Watch in 2026

1. Jack Williams: Precision and Power on the Rise

First up is Jack Williams, who currently holds a record of 4 wins and 2 losses.

Jack made a major statement at Cage Warriors 41, where he secured a first-round knockout victory over Javed Uryakhel, showcasing sharp, high-level striking and composure under pressure.

What stands out most about Jack is his accuracy and timing—he’s extremely precise, picking shots cleanly and efficiently. He’s also building a strong presence outside the cage, with a growing social media following where he often shares his love for dogs and animal rescue.

Jack Williams is clearly a fighter with strong upside, and if he continues developing at this pace, he’s one to watch closely in 2026.

2. Liam “The Flash” Yemen: Pressure, Speed, and Experience

Next is Liam Yemen, also known as “The Flash”.

Training out of BKK Fighters and the Jiu-Jitsu Sanctuary, Liam is a fast-paced, aggressive mixed martial artist who thrives on pressure and tempo. He’s also someone I’ve trained with personally, and his style reflects that constant forward momentum.

Liam delivered an impressive performance at Cage Warriors Academy, earning a strong win over Alfie Newman. Like Jack, he holds a 4–2 record, but what separates him is his intensity and speed—he’s always forcing exchanges and keeping opponents uncomfortable.

With his style and mindset, Liam Yemen is definitely a fighter to keep on your radar moving forward.

3. Danny Sutton: The Rising British Champion

Last but not least is Danny Saturn, another standout out of BKK Fighters.

Danny recently made a major breakthrough on 25th April, where he became the ISKAR British Champion at Combat Kings, marking a significant milestone in his career.

He brings a relentless fighting style always active, always ready for the next bout, and constantly pushing forward in his development. That consistency and willingness to stay active is one of his biggest strengths.

Danny Sutton is building serious momentum, and capturing a national title is just the beginning of what could be a very strong run in the sport.
