On Saturday, October 18, KSW hosted KSW 111, live from Werk Arena in Trinec, Czechia. The event featured KSW heavyweight champ Phil De Fries attempting to defend his belt for an amazing 13th time. Stefan Vojcak was trying to stop him. In the co-main Rafal Haratyk was defending his light heavyweight title for the first time, opposite Bartosz Lesko.
In the main, we learned (again) why we call him “And Still” De Fries. The Englishman was able to survive a big scare from Vojcak, who had him down and was wailing ground and pound on him early in the fight. After that, though, De Fries was able to get top position of his own in the third round and land ground and pound that was capable of ending the fight. With the win De Fries pads his record as one of the most dominant MMA champions out there. I don’t know if he’d be interested in a UFC return, but it certainly seems like there could be some wins out there for him in the Octagon.
In the co-main Haratyk got to hear “and still” for the first time after he took a unanimous decision over Lesko.
Further down on the card Polish prospect Laura Grzyb moved to 2-0 with a body shot KO on Karolina Vankova
Giant Polish heavyweight Kacper Paczoski moved to 4-0 with a dominant second round TKO over Denis Gorniak.
