Reggie Rockstone to face off against William Addo

Born Reginald Yaw Asante Osei, the 61-year-old icon isn’t just making a ceremonial appearance, as noted by Max.com.

According to Tapology, he is set to compete in a sanctioned MMA bout against William Nortey Addo, an encounter that has already generated a buzz both within the music and sporting circles.

At the official weigh-in, Reggie appeared in peak physical condition, flexing a chiselled frame that silenced any doubts about his readiness for the octagon.

In the lead-up to the clash, fans got a glimpse of the artist’s serious approach to this new chapter.

His presence in combat gear, combined with his fierce demeanour, reflected an intense mindset more akin to a professional fighter than a celebrity guest.

Reggie Rockstone's background in Mixed Martial Arts

While most know him for chart-topping tracks like Maka Maka, he has long harboured a commitment to martial arts.

Speaking in an earlier interview, he revealed, “I was blessed to have been blessed, so I will always put out music. But I am doing other things, like this MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) thing.”

Beyond the spotlight and sound, Reggie carries genuine combat credentials.

A two-time Ghana junior champion in Taekwondo, he has always thrived on reinvention.

“I like to do something different all the time. I am not going to face celebrities but goons,” he said, underscoring his preference for gritty competition over theatrics.
