Frederic Vosgrone has no idea what makes him a star, but life hasn't been the same since the moment he first entered the Oktagon cage in April 2025.

Michael Bisping shares prediction for Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry at UFC 330
Published
1 month agoon

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has made his prediction for the UFC 330 main event.
The UFC is in Philadelphia on Saturday, and Islam Makhachev defends his welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry. Heading into the bout, Makhachev is a -360 favorite while the Irishman is a +290 underdog on FanDuel.
Although Makhachev is a sizable favorite, Garry has been oozing with confidence heading into the bout. But Bisping does expect to hear ‘And Still' as he believes Makhachev will be able to get a submission win.
“It's going to be an exciting clash. Will Ian Garry be able to jab and jog his way to victory? Because that'll be the game plan, let's be honest. Or will Islam Makhachev take him down, rag doll him all over the place, choke him out unconscious and put him to sleep? We shall see,†Bisping said on his YouTube channel. Takedown defense 100-percent is what this fight's all going to be about, and whether or not Islam Makhachev can cut off the cage, get him up against the fence, corral him against the fence, grab a leg, take him down. …
“Islam Makhachev, this is his bread and butter. This is what he does. And when you go to the wall, he's going to take your back and he's going to put the hooks in and he's going to choke you out. And that is my prediction for this fight.â€
If Makhachev does submit Garry in the main event of UFC 330, it would be a statement win for him. And he would break Anderson Silva's record of most consecutive wins, which would further cement him as an all-time great.
Makhachev enters UFC 330 with a record of 28-1 and is coming off a decision win over Jack Della Maddalena.

‘Living in some alternative reality’: Frederic Vosgrone admits ‘I don’t even know’ what makes him an MMA star
Published

September 25, 2026
The Dutch fighter was 3-0 in the sport when he made his promotional debut against Jorick Montagnac, making it clear that grappling was his go-to thing in MMA when he grabbed Montagnac's leg like his life depended on it. It paid off, as he took his opponent to the ground and got the tap with an arm-triangle choke. That sequence went viral almost immediately.
Vosgrone saw his Instagram page go from 4,000 followers to hundreds of thousands in a matter of weeks, and tapping out Fabio Moraes months later only grew his name in Europe. From an unknown grappler to 5-0 MMA sensation, Vosgrone was now posing for pictures with Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt and about to face off with veteran Karlos Vemola at Oktagon 94 in Frankfurt, Germany, on Sept. 26.
“It's difficult to even find the word for it,†Vosgrone told MMA Fighting earlier this year. “I don't think the word has been invented, you know? Especially the first couple of months was kind of living in some alternative reality [laughs], Sometimes I'm like, ‘what the fuck?' Crazy. I guess trying to get used to it. I probably could have met more famous people, but I try to not to do much. I feel like as long as I'm a successful fighter, all the things are going to happen anyway even more.â€
Life as star is good and you want to make the most of it, but it comes with extras that could affect the actual fighting career of someone who's just starting in the game. Vosgrone, now with 665,000 followers on Instagram, “quickly realized that it's going to be difficult to do real training†if he decided to say yes to every invitation to podcasts, interviews, and appearances.
“It was always pretty difficult doing jiu-jitsu and teaching and fighting MMA on smaller shows; now it makes it easier to focus on [just] fighting,†Vosgrone said. “But also obviously with a lot more pressure, a lot more people's eyes on me, so I need to make sure that I keep going. Otherwise, I pretty much just do the same things, try to train and don't try to get distracted, just focusing on not letting people down [laughs].â€
In the end, the light heavyweight sensation says “I don't even know†what makes him such a star in the MMA scene.
“I mean, obviously in Germany I understand, there's not too many good German fighters, so the people get behind the good ones,†Vosgrone said. “But then I see a lot of people in Brazil know me and then I'm like crazy. I guess if I'm entertaining for the people and they like it then, yeah. I guess the social media algorithms love me [laughs].â€
Vosgrone knows that the sport is cruel and one punch landed on the right spot could immediately ruin the fun and turn himself in a meme. However, he guarantees that pressure to continue to deliver entertainment and victories won't get to his head “because I'm pretty confident in my fighting skills and I've achieved a lot of things before MMA and jiu-jitsu.â€
“I fought good opponent that I beat in MMA, and I'm pretty confident that I'm going to beat many more really good people,†Vosgrone said, “so I'm not really too worried about that too much. But obviously, still gives me fire to improve and show the people what I can do. … My goal since when I started jiu-jitsu was always to fight in the UFC, so yeah, that's still my ultimate goal. And I feel like if you're an MMA fighter and you haven't been in the UFC, maybe you're gonna feel after that you've missed out on something, or you didn't achieve something, so I definitely want to fight there.â€
He won't think too much about the future when there are challenges in front of him in Oktagon. For now, Vosgrone is just excited to return to Germany.
“I'm pretty excited,†Vosgrone said. “The scene here is pretty crazy, and the support I get from the fans here when I was walking out like last fight, I definitely can't wait to feel that energy again.â€

Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua reportedly in jeopardy, Fury responds to ‘s***house cowards’ Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn

“Breaking news, Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn are trying to pull out of this fight. They're saying they're not going to fight now. They're little shithouse cowards. It's mainly to do with Eddie Hearn's ego. He's making up a million different things, and threatening they're not going to fight, we're not going to fight, we're not going to fight. You little coward. AJ, pull your finger out you little white-flagged, yellow-bellied coward.
“Now we're coming home. Now I'm coming home. The Gypsy King is coming back to the United Kingdom to thrash you in front of all my fans in Wales, you absolute little nugget, bodybuilding sausage. And now you're making a million excuses. Now you've got Turki Alalshikh finding alternative real men who will fight at the drop of a hat. So I hope you are happy, you little cowardly bastards. I've never seen anything like you. You're pure shithouses, and this is mainly to do with Eddie Hearn's ego. What a little prick. He's cost us the biggest fight in boxing history. Clown.â€
