Heavyweight Wrzosek holds a win over Badr Hari, but that’s where things got dicey in his kickboxing career. Earlier this year, the pair were booked into a rematch, only for the fight to end early when a riot broke out in the stands. The bout was ruled a No Contest, and Wrzosek was banished from the promotion after blame was placed on him for the action of Polish fans in attendance.

The Polish fighter would later dispute that narrative. “I was beating Badr Hari in Hasselt and then my own fans want to spoil that for me? Come on,” he said in an interview with Vechtsportinfo.nl.

On Saturday in Warsaw, Wrzosek would face another kickboxer who made the jump to MMA, Tomasz Sarara. Sarara’s 1-0 record in the sport meant that the main event fighters of KSW 73 had a combined record of 1-0, and with their striking backgrounds, a finish felt likely.

The debuting Wrzosek has been paired up with another kickboxer, Tomasz Sarara, himself with just a single mixed martial arts contest to his name. That makes for a rather unique set of circumstances surrounding the KSW 73 main event: the two competitors combined for an overall record of 1-0 in MMA coming into the night.

In the co-main event, UFC alum Reginaldo Vieira (15-6) is set to face ex-KSW title challenger Daniel Rutkowski (13-3) in a featherweight scrap.

Weigh-ins for the event took place on Friday, with all fighters making weight for the card. Results can be found below. The event takes place live on Saturday, August 20, 2022 streaming via KSWTV.com.
