Top Polish mixed martial arts promotion
Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki returns for its final event of 2021,
and the KSW
65 weigh-in was filled with drama.
Most notably, former featherweight champion Daniel
Torres lost his belt prior to his first title defense. Torres
(12-4, 1 NC) came in a pound over championship weight and has been
stripped of the title. His bout against Salahdine
Parnasse will continue with only Parnasse (15-1-1) eligible to
win the belt, and Torres will surrender 30% of his purse as well.
Additionally, prelim fighters Hassan
Shaaban and Bartosz
Rewera failed to make weight. Shaaban has been replaced by
Piotr
Olszynka, who will now face Patryk
Likus, while Rewera has been fined 30% of his purse.
The card is headlined by a champion versus champion bout between
middleweight titleholder Mamed
Khalidov and welterweight king Roberto
Soldic. Both fighters made the middleweight limit as Soldic
(19-3) looks to become a champ in two weight divisions. Khalidov
officially weighed 185 pounds, while Soldic came in slightly under
the limit at 184.75 pounds.
KSW 65 will stream on KSWTV at 1
p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Saturday.
