Romero just failed to become the oldest champ in UFC/Bellator history.
Edwards just failed to become the second pair of brothers to hold UFC/Bellator belts.
Patricio Pibull just failed to become the first triple champ in UFC/Bellator/ONE/KSW/PRIDE etc… history and before that Martin Nguyen tried and failed to become a triple champ in ONE.

Parnasse is throwing his hat in the ring and attempting to become the first triple champ major/somewhat big promotion history when the FW/LW champ goes after the WW title in Dec.

Three titles will be represented at KSW 89 this December – and that’s just in the main event.

In a superfight of epic proportions, welterweight champion Adrian Bartosinski (14-0) will defend his title vs. Salahdine Parnasse (18-1), who holds both the promotion’s lightweight and featherweight titles.

KSW 89 takes place Dec. 16 at PreZero Arena Gliwice in Gliwice, Poland and streams on online pay-per-view in the United States. The card is the promotion’s final on the current 2023 docket.

Bartosinski, 28, is 7-0 in KSW. He has 12 finishes in 14 fights including a 107-second, vacant welterweight title-clinching knockout of Artur Szczepaniak in April.

Parnasse, 25, could become a rare triple champion should he win. He’s widely considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters outside the UFC. His most recent 11 fights have taken place under the KSW banner where he’s compiled a 10-1 record with five finishes. His only loss was a 2021 knockout suffered against Daniel Torres, who he defeated in a rematch within the same calendar year.

Archuleta won 135, 45, 55 and 65 lb titles but that was in KOTC so not the same thing as doing at in say ONE or KSW or especially say Bellator or UFC but to his credit Archuleta has gone on to win both the Bellator and RIZIN BW titles at different points in his career.

Stamp Fairtex is a triple champ in One, albeit across three different disciplines.

Alex Pereira possibly going for a 3rd UFC title has my attention.

You got my interest with that one.

He only arrived in the UFC in 2021 and got the MW title in 2022 and the LHW title in 2023.

If Jones and Stipe were not slowing down and ruining the HW title pictures ability to function we could actually see Pereira move up and get a crack at that belt.

Not at all.

His second UFC fight was vs Bruno Silva who had 22 pro wins and a seven fight win streak including a KO of Shlemenko.

His third UFC fight was Strickland.

He KOed Adesanya to win his first title and had to beat Jan, a former champ to earn his LHW title shot.

Thats not the UFC helping Pereira, he entered the UFC only 3-1 in MMA, the man helped himself.

Adesanya was cleaning out MW, UFC fast tracked Pereira to the title shot because he went 3-0 in the promotion and had history with Adesanya from Glory.

It was sink or swim and he is swimming.
