Leading Polish mixed martial arts promotion
Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki returns for its April offering with
KSW 81.
The 10-fight card is headlined by a vacant welterweight title fight
between the undefeated Adrian
Bartosinski and Artur
Szczepaniak. The two main event fighters had no trouble hitting
their marks, as both weighed 170 pounds on the dot. The rest of the
card also successfully made weight, so fans will get a full evening
of entertainment.
Looking to take over the spot of Roberto
Soldic, who vacated the belt to sign with One Championship,
Bartosinski is a perfect 12-0 in his career. The last four of those
victories have come in KSW with impressive finishes over Krystian
Kaszubowski and Andrzej
Grzebyk earning him this title shot. Looking to derail the hype
train is the 26-year-old Szczepaniak (9-1), who is riding a
five-fight win streak. A head kick over Brian Hooi
vaulted the Team Mixfighter Genk fighter into his first KSW main
event.
KSW 81 will stream on KSW TV and begins Saturday at 12 p.m. ET/9
a.m. PT.
