Roman Szymanski welcomed Donovan Desmae (fougth in another big European promotion, Cage Warriors) to KSW. Szymanski made sure that Desmae will not remember his promotional debut after unanimous decision win for Szymanski. First round was probably Desmae round, as he really made troubles for Szymanski but in second and third Szymanski was able to get takedown and control fight on ground which was enough for win.

Patrik Kincl continue his rise in KSW and agains impressed everyone with another knockout win. This time, 'victim' was Tomasz Romanowski who controlled the fight from start but takedown that was Kincl able to get in round two was crucial. After that, Kincl grinded his way to finish and win.

One of the Polish MMA legends, Michal Kita, fought against very motivated Serbian Darko Stosic, who accept this fight on short notice. However, even though Kita had pressure and forced Stosic to cover up and defend, Stosic was able to land one counterstrike that sends Kita to canvas. Stosic immediatelly going after and finish Kita with nasty ground and pound. After two impressive wins, Stosic called out in his post-fight interview a current KSW Heavyweight Champion, Phil de Fries. We will see if this is going to be next fight for heavyweight crown.
