Poland’s No. 1 mixed martial arts promotion
Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki returns with its fourth MMA event of
the year. KSW
56 has a Poland vs. Croatia theme and is headlined by a
middleweight fight between Michal
Materla and Roberto
Soldic. All fighters made weight and the eight-fight card is
now official.
Ever since getting knocked out by Scott
Askham, Materla (29-7) has bounced back with two impressive
performances. The Polish fighter submitted Wilhelm Ott
and picked up a TKO victory over Aleksandar
Ilic. A former middleweight champion in the promotion, “Magic”
will look to keep his win streak going in the main event. Materla
had no issue making weight and came in at 186 pounds.
Moving up in weight is Soldic (17-3), who is KSW’s welterweight
champion. He’ll look to defend the pride of Croatia against the
naturally bigger fighter in Materla. Soldic won the welterweight
strap back from Dricus Du
Plessis in 2018 and has since defended it once against Krystian
Kaszubowski. This marks the first fight of 2020 for “Robocop,”
who has also won two non-title bouts since beginning his second
reign at 170. Moving up in weight, Soldic had no issue hitting the
middleweight limit and came in at 186 pounds.
The co-main event sees the KSW light heavyweight on the line as
Poland’s Tomasz
Narkun looks to defend it against Croatian Ivan
Erslan. Narkun (17-3) has been the promotion’s light
heavyweight king since knocking out Goran
Reljic in 2015 and has only tasted defeat since then to
Philip
De Fries, when he attempted to capture the heavyweight strap as
well. Meanwhile, Erslan (9-0, 1 NC) is an undefeated challenger
looking to hold gold around his waist for the first time. Both men
successfully made weight for the anticipated bout.
KSW 56 will stream exclusively on KSWTV at 2 p.m. ET. The
pay-per-view event will set back viewers in the United States
$11.
