Top Polish mixed martial arts promotion
Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki will put on its first card of 2021
this Saturday. Sitting atop KSW
58 is a featherweight title clash between champion Salahdine
Parnasse and challenger Daniel
Torres. Also of note is a light heavyweight bout between
Olympic gold medalist weightlifter Poland Szymon
Kolecki, who will take on German MMA veteran Martin
Zawada. The eight-fight card is now official after the
weigh-ins took place and all 16 fighters managed to make
weight.
Looking to defend his belt is the undefeated Parnasse (14-0-1). The
Frenchmen knocked out Roman
Szymanski in April 2019 to claim the promotion’s interim belt
and was promoted to full champion once Mateusz
Gamrot signed with the
Ultimate Fighting Championship. Not competing in 2020, Parnasse
took a unanimous decision over Ivan
Buchinger in his latest bout in December 2019. The titleholder
had no issue making weight and stepped on the scales at 145
pounds.
Looking to dethrone the champ is Torres (11-4, 1 NC). The Austrian
fighter is riding a three-fight win streak and has impressed in his
last two KSW appearances as he picked up decision wins over
Max
Coga and Filip Pejic. “Tucano” officially weighed in at 144 pounds.
KSW 58 will stream live on Fite pay-per-view at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m.
PT on Saturday.
