Mariusz Pudzianowski, Mamed Khalidov Superfight to Headline KSW 77

Two of the most important fighters in
Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki history will collide in December.

On Wednesday, KSW announced that Mariusz
Pudzianowski and Mamed
Khalidov would clash in the KSW 77 headliner. The
much-anticipated card will go down in Gliwice, Poland, on Dec. 17.
Five-time world’s strongest man, Pudzianowski (17-7 1NC, 17-6 1NC
KSW) is currently riding a five-bout winning streak. In his latest
assignment, “Pudzian” rendered former KSW middleweight titleholder
Michal
Materla unconscious at the 1:47 mark of Round 1 at KSW 70.

A former two-division champion, Khalidov (35-8-2, 19-4-2 KSW) is
looking to bounce back following a nasty defeat at the hands of
Roberto
Soldic in December. Prior, Khalidov defeated Scott
Askham 36 seconds into their KSW 55 affair.

The KSW 77 co-main event will feature a rubber match between
135-pound titleholder Sebastian
Przybysz (10-2, 7-1 KSW) and Jakub
Wiklacz (13-3-1, 3-1 KSW).
