Roberto Soldic vs. Michal Pietrzak Preview: KSW 50
At just 24-years-old, KSW welterweight king Roberto Soldic (16-3) has already earned himself one of the fiercest reputations in the sport and is known as one of the brightest prospects in all of MMA.
The heavy-hitter has an incredible fourteen wins via TKO/KO and an overall finishing ratio of 94%. After joining KSW in 2017, the Croatian won the welterweight title in his first fight with a one-sided win over former longtime champ Borys Mankowski. His past three fights have all ended in devastating KO finishes including taking less than ninety seconds to dispatch of the previously undefeated Krystian Kaszubowski in his last title defence.
Original opponent Patrik Kincl withdrew due to an arm injury just a week before the fight and now Soldic will face former Polish wrestling champion Michal Pietrzak (8-3) in non-title fight contested at an 80kg catchweight.
Although Pietrzak comes in on late notice, he brings with him a very impressive grappling pedigree. With national wrestling and no-gi grappling titles to his name, Pietrzak is widely seen as one of the best grapplers in Poland. He enters KSW on a three-fight-win-streak on the Polish MMA scene and has arguably nothing to lose as he faces one of KSW’s biggest stars in Roberto Soldic.
A tough and potentially dangerous challenge awaits Roberto Soldic in this one!
KSW 50 takes place this Saturday live from The SSE Arena, Wembley in London, England. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.co.uk & AXS.com. The event is available to watch globally on www.KSWTV.com.
