For the first time in 18 months, Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki will have
fans in attendance at an event.
The Polish promotion announced on Tuesday that KSW 61 will allow 50
percent audience capacity, per government guidlines, on June 5 at
Ergo Arena in Gdansk Poland. KSW last had fans in attendance for
KSW 52 on Dec. 7, 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the
organization to cancel multiple events. After KSW returned to
operations, it held its last eight cards behind closed doors.
KSW 61 is headlined by a heavyweight showdown between Mariusz
Pudzianowski and Lukasz
Jurkowski. The card is available via pay-per-view at
KSWTV.com.
According to a release, “this clash between two Polish MMA legends
and icons will serve as a fitting main event to welcome fans back
at a KSW showcase for the first time in over 18 months. Both
Pudzianowski and Jurkowski are credited with helping the sport of
MMA grow in this part of the world and are true fan favorites.”
