The main event of XTB KSW 100 will be a superfight between Mamed Chalidow (36-8-2, 16 KO, 16 Sub), a true KSW legend and Adrian Bartosiński (15-0, 11 KO, 2 Sub), the undefeated welterweight champion. This is going to be a middleweight bout, so no title will be on the line. Mamed Chalidow is not only a living MMA legend, but also a true KSW icon. The former welterweight and middleweight champion has celebrated the 20th anniversary of his professional debut in May of this year. Mamed’s career involved 44 fights and he won 36 of them. On the other hand, Adrian Bartosiński has been making his way through the MMA world like a true battering ram. So far, the popular “Bartos” has won fifteen fights, finishing fourteen of his opponents. Seven times he did it in round one.
The co-main event will be a rematch at the top of the heavyweight division. Phil De Fries (25-6, 1 NC, 6 KO, 14 Sub), a long-standing dominator shall attempt to defend his belt against Darko Stošic (21-6, 15 KO, 1 Sub), ranked as number one. The two gentlemen have already faced each other two and a half years ago. Their first fight almost went the distance, but eventually in the closing round the Englishman managed to defeat the Serb and so he defended his title. Darko Stošic has eight KSW fights under his belt and it was only his bout against De Fries that didn’t go his way. Ever since his last clash with the champion, Darko has knocked out Michał Kita, Štefan Vojčák, Michal Martínek and Matheus Scheffel.
The fight card of XTB KSW 100 is also going to feature a clash between two top light heavyweight contenders. Rafał Haratyk (19-5-2, 6 KO, 5 Sub) shall attempt to defend his championship belt for the first time against Marcin Wójcik (20-9, 11 KO, 7 Sub), the number one of the division. This bout is also going to be a rematch between the two after their first clash at the championship tournament held at KSW Epic which was eventually won by Haratyk.
In the third title match of the night, Robert Ruchała (10-1, 2 KO, 3 Sub), the interim featherweight champion will try to defend his belt against Kacper Formela (18-4, 7 KO, 3 Sub) who has been undefeated for the last four years.
The fight card of the event also includes Matheus Scheffel (18-11, 1NC, 12 KO). The ex-challenger for the heavyweight title of PFL and the number three of this division in KSW is about to face Arkadiusz Wrzosek (5-0, 3 KO, 1 Sub), an experienced kickboxer who defeated Badr Hari in 2021.
The fight card of XTB KSW 100 is going to include ten bouts and the event itself will be one of the most significant in the history of the organization. Moreover, it’s going to feature the second introduction to Hall of Fame in history which is a distinction reserved for the greatest heroes who proved pivotal for KSW. In conclusion, fans in attendance will get the opportunity to witness a very special day for combat sports.
