Jay Silva steps in to face Mariusz Pudzianowski in the KSW 40 main event
KSW have decided to pull James McSweeney from his main event slot against Mariusz Pudzianowski and now American & KSW veteran Jay Silva (10-11-1) will step in against the world’s strongest man at KSW 40 this Sunday, October 22nd in Dublin, Ireland. The decision was made after McSweeney was not cleared by Safe MMA Ireland.
Silva, who fought in the UFC & Bellator, is best known to KSW fans from his trilogy of fights with Michal Materla and last fought for KSW in 2015. The 36-year-old steps up to heavyweight for the first time in his career and is looking forward to competing against Pudzianowski.
"I am happy to be back in the KSW cage after two years, I feel like I am home," said Silva. "I am a fighter and I will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime and I look forward to stepping in against Mariusz Pudzianowski. It has been a crazy few days but I am here to do a job and that is to win on Sunday."
Pudzianowski seemed unfazed by the announcement saying "this is MMA, we prepare for everything and I will still go out there and perform this Sunday."
