KSW Federation would like to announce that Mariusz Pudzianowski will face English Mixed Martial Arts veteran James Thompson at KSW16, May 21st in Gdansk.

It will be the thirtieth professional MMA bout for one hundred ninety-six centimeters tall weighing one hundred twenty kilograms London’s Colossus. Thompson fought for the best MMA organizations in the world such as Pride, Dream, Strikeforce, Cage Rage and 2 Hot 2 Handle. He competed against many renowned fighters like Aleksander Emelianenko, Brett Rogers, as well as two former Pudzianowski’s foes Yusuke Kawaguchi and Butterbean. His MMA record stands fifteen wins and fourteen losses.

Pudzian vs The Colossus clash will be Mariusz’s fifth MMA bout. The mighty Pole is undefeated in the KSW ring in his three outings. His sole loss came at the hands of the former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia at Moosin show in 2010. – I’m ready for this fight now. Bring me this guy – Pudzianowski said at the recent KSW photo session.

This showdown has all the making to be a classic fight. It’s very rare to see two one hundred twenty kilograms ancient heroes lookalikes going at each other in the MMA ring. Who will be victories? KSW16 will answer this question on May 21st.
