On Saturday, Jun. 14, KSW hosted KSW 107, live from Ergo Arena in Gdańsk, Poland. The event featured Phil De Fries putting his KSW heavyweight title on the line against Arkadiusz Wrzosek. The co-main was Sebastian Pryzybysz vs. Marcelo Morelli for Przbysz’s bantamweight title. Both these guys were due to fight other opponents on the card, but some weight cut misses forced a last minute shuffle.
The 39 year-old De Fries would not be denied in the main event. After getting Wrzosek down he cranked a brutal americana for the first round submission win. He then downed a pint of beer. That is now the 12th title defense for De Fries, who may have the most impressive heavyweight career in MMA right now.
Pryzbysz looked good against his short notice opponent, scoring a third round rear naked choke submission. That was his first title defence since taking the belt from Bruno Azevedo at KSW 102 in January.
Also on the card, Polish MMA veteran Damian Stasiak hung up his gloves after taking a decision over Michal Domin.
