Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki returns this weekend with its third
card of 2020. The event is headlined by a rematch between
middleweight champion Scott
Askham and former titleholder Mamed
Khalidov. All eight fights are now official after the
weigh-ins.
Unlike their bout last year, the rematch will not be contested at a
catchweight and is for the title that Askham (19-4) holds. Khalidov
(34-7-2) was the longtime titleholder of KSW’s middleweight
championship but retired after losing two catchweight bouts against
light heavyweight champion Tomasz
Narkun. Like most retirements in mixed martial arts, it didn’t
stick and Khalidov came back just a year later to unsuccessfully
challenge Askham.
KSW 55 will stream live on Dazn starting at 2 p.m. ET.
