Poland’s Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki brought KSW 50 to London, featuring three title fights including a heavyweight battle between champ Phil De Fries and Luis Henrique.
KSW 50 went down Saturday at the SSE Arena at Wembley in London, England. The Polish promotion’s historic 50th event was to feature four title fights, but that was scaled back to three after an injury to middleweight champ Roberto Soldic’s originally scheduled opponent.
As a result, Michal Pietrzak stepped up on short notice for a catchweight bout, meaning the title would not be on the line.
Three other titles would be, however. Phil De Fries was set to make another defense of his heavyweight title, against fellow ex-UFC athlete Luis Henrique. Tomasz Narkun, who recently tried and failed to get the better of De Fries for a second title, was scheduled to defend his light heavyweight title against Przemyslaw Mysiala. And Norman Parke was ready to storm the cage against Marcin Wrzosek for an interim lightweight title.
