Former World’s Strongest Man Mariusz
Pudzianowski will make his return to Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki
cage on March 20.
The Polish promotion announced over the weekend that Pudzianowski
will headlined KSW 59 “Fight Code.” His opponent and the event’s
location were not revealed.
The popular heavyweight hasn’t competed since November 2019, when
he defeated Erko Jun by
second-round technical knockout at KSW 51. The 43-year-old made his
MMA debut in 2009 and has compiled a 13-7 record with one no
contest. All but one of his professional appearances have come
under the KSW banner. He has bested the likes of Rolles
Gracie, Bob Sapp,
Oli
Thompson, Sean
McCorkle and Jay Silva over
the course of his tenure.
Also slated to compete at the event against an as yet to be
determined opponent is bantamweight champion Antun Racic.
The 30-year-old Croatian captured 135-pound gold with a unanimous
decision win over Damian
Stasiak at KSW 51 before defending the crown with a five-round
verdict against Bruno
Augusto dos Santos at KSW 57 this past December.
