On Saturday, October 18, KSW hosted KSW 111, live from Werk Arena in Trinec, Czechia. The event featured a lightweight title in the main event with reigning double-champ Salahdine Parnasse taking on UFC vet Marcin Held. The event also included former GLORY kickboxer Arkadiusz Wrzosek taking on Szymon Bajor.
In the main event Parnasse continued to prove he’s one of the best fighters on the planet not in the UFC. He put an end to his latest title fight in the second round with bunches of punches. Parnasse, who holds the lightweight and featherweight titles at KSW (and once fought for the welterweight title), is still only 28.
In the co-main Wrzosek scored a scary KO knee on Bajor early in the second round. He’s now 7-1 since moving over to MMA. His only loss was due to an Americana from longtime KSW heavyweight champ Phil De Fries.
Wiktoria Czyżewska improved her record to 6-1 after stopping recent UFC fighter Tamires Vidal with a first round body kick.
Also on this card, an exciting match-up between Ibragim Chuzhigaev and Maciej Różański had to be called off after Chuzhigaev accidentally poked Różański in the eye.
