The winner of this clash will likely get a shot at the KSW
heavyweight championship.
Ultimate Fighting Championship vet Darko
Stosic will take on Michal
Andryszak in an upcoming heavyweight tilt at KSW 63,
Sherdog.com has learned from a source close to the promotion.
Polish organization Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki wanted to match the
29-year from Belgrade, Serbia, against current heavyweight
titleholder Philip De
Fries, but an injury prevented the champion from participating
in the event. KSW then resorted to the Stosic-Andryszak matchup,
which has all the trimmings of a title eliminator.
Stosic (15-4, 2-0 KSW) made his promotional debut following a
stint in UFC’s 205-pound division that ended with one victory and
three defeats. In KSW, he returned to heavyweight, where he first
wrecked Michal
Wlodarek with a right hand that stopped the contest at the 4:39
mark in Round 2 at KSW 59 before smashing Michal
Kita with punches 4:05 into Round 1 at KSW 61.
Most recently, Andryszak (22-9 1 NC, 4-4 KSW) submitted former UFC
and Strikeforce alum Guto
Inocente (8-6) thanks to an arm-triangle choke that forced the
referee to stop the contest 4:08 into the second stanza at KSW 58.
Prior, “Longer” lost consciousness following a haymaker from
Michal
Kita at the 2:59 mark in the opening stanza of their
heavyweight rematch at KSW 54.
The upcoming KSW 63 event will go down in Warsaw, Poland, on Sept.
4. The card also features a welterweight championship clash between
champion Roberto
Soldic and Patrick Kincl. Also, former 135-pound
kingpin Antun
Racic will collide with Jakub
Wiklacz and Damian
Janikowski faces Pawel
Pawlak at middleweight.
