To celebrate twenty years of KSW, we invite you on a journey through the years of martial arts and combat sports. For one night only, XTB KSW Epic brings to you an event like no other this Saturday, February 24, live from Gliwice, Poland only on www.KSWEpic.tv.

In the main event, two Polish sporting icons go head-to-head as former two-weight KSW champion & MMA legend Mamed Khalidov (MMA: 37-8-2, 16 KO) meets former two-weight world boxing champion Tomasz Adamek (Boxing: 53-6, 31 KO). The duo will meet under boxing rules in the KSW cage.

A new light heavyweight champion will be crowned in a four-man one-night tournament. Rafal Haratyk (17-5-2), Marcin Wojcik (19-8), Kleber Silva (22-11) and Damian Piwowarczyk (7-2) are all vying to capture the vacant title while KO artists Ivan Erslan (13-3) and Bohdan Gnidko (10-1) meet in a reserve bout.

Undisputed KSW heavyweight champion Phil De Fries (MMA: 24-6, 14 Sub) meets MMA & grappling legend Josh Barnett (MMA: 35-8, 21 Sub) in a submission only. On his last visit to Poland, Barnett beat the lineal KSW heavyweight champion Marcin Rozalski in a bare-knuckle match. Now he invites the current champion into the realm of ‘The Warmaster.’

The remainder of the matches include different rulesets including Caged Muay Thai, a PRIDE rules fight between Darko Stosic (19-6) and Matheus Scheffel (17-10), a no holds barred (NHB) match, and a special ‘MMA in the Gi’ fight between a BJJ Black Belt and a Judo Black Belt.

XTB KSW Epic will be available to watch live internationally on www.KSWEpic.tv.
