Polish MMA leader KSW was in action on Saturday, setting up shop at the Werk Arena in Třinec, Czech Republic for KSW 87.
Headlined by a heavyweight fight featuring UFC alum Darko Stosic taking on Czech Republic’s own Michal Martínek, the card lacked title fights but looked primed for some big finishes. In addition to the heavyweight headliner, familiar names including Ivan Erslan, Roman Szymański, and Filip Macek were in action.
Stosic, who fought for heavyweight gold last year but came up short against the dominant Phil De Fries, was 2-1 since that encounter and looking to work his way back to title contention. Matinek meanwhile was 1-1 in the company and hoping the bounce back from a recent loss.
