A big international heavyweight rematch takes place in the main event of KSW 79 at the Home Credit Arena in Liberec, the Czech Republic this Saturday, February 25, as Todd Duffee (9-3) challenges Phil De Fries (22-6) for the KSW heavyweight title!

De Fries is a record breaking champion in KSW with seven title defenses, more than any other champion in KSW history, and is on a ten-fight win-streak. However, he suffered one of the most vicious defeats of his career at the hands of Duffee back at UFC 155 when the American knocked him out in just two minutes of the first round.

Widely regarded as Europe’s number one heavyweight, De Fries has ran through some of the best heavyweights on the continent over the past five years. Now he goes up against a ghost from his past and arguably his most dangerous challenge to date.

Duffee, owner of one of the fastest knockouts in MMA history, is returning to competition after a three-year layoff. The 37-year-old, who has appeared in DC’s ‘Batman vs. Superman’ & the ‘Never Back Down’ franchise, has been preparing for a return for over a year and is excited to step back into the cage and challenge for the KSW title.

KSW 79 will be available to watch live on Viaplay in selected European regions, RMC Sport in France, NOVA Action in the Czech Republic, COMBATE in Brazil, The Fight Network in Canada, and worldwide on www.KSWTV.com!
