Leading Polish mixed martial arts promotion Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki returns for its April offering with KSW 81.
Looking to take over the spot of Roberto Soldic, who vacated the belt to sign with One Championship, Bartosinski is a perfect 12-0 in his career. The last four of those victories have come in KSW with impressive finishes over Krystian Kaszubowski and Andrzej Grzebyk earning him this title shot. Looking to derail the hype train is the 26-year-old Szczepaniak (9-1), who is riding a five-fight win streak. A head kick over Brian Hooi vaulted the Team Mixfighter Genk fighter into his first KSW main event.
KSW 81 will stream on KSW TV and begins Saturday at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT.
