Mamed is maybe one of the least known/respected MMA fighters from KSW and I always thought he would end up in the UFC but he’s been loyal to KSW. I think they pay their athletes better than most including the UFC.

Yeah I was more thinking about the past when he was double champ at KSW , he was a super well rounded fighter back then and running thru folks. Yeah I’m sure he’s past a bidding war between KSW n UFC now, didn’t he lose his last couple in fact?

He has a couple fames names on his list what I could se on share dog.
A young prospect that is gathering some hype on the European MMA scen is Marko Bojkovic.
LW 20 years 5-0 record .
A special talent , you can se it in his fights. And the gym stories about him also are telling that he has the talent.

Even crazier part of that article is that Bellator made $100 million in 2020
KSW is excellent MMA.
I wish they kept going with tournaments they were much more frequent in the promotions earlier days.
I just recently started watching KSW and it’s topp.

Absolute best promos in the fight game. Even better than the UFC’s. We watch exclusively for the promotional material almost entirely.

Lot of freak show fights ala the old PRIDE, but plenty of UFC level guys.

What do you think of Soldic, and how would he do in ufc?
Well, he got KO’d by Du Plessis and then knocked him out in his next fight. Top 15 minimum. I rank Du Plessis pretty highly just from what I’ve seen so far and think he beats Tavares at 276 in July. So a guy that can beat him by KO has to be pretty damn good and his 20-3 record reflects that.

Their last losses are to each other and Du Plessis is 12-1 in his stretch of wins before and after Soldic. Soldic himself is 14-1 in that same stretch which is pretty damn impressive. I think Soldic was trying to sign with the UFC, but KSW has the right to match or something like that, don’t know all the details.

I don’t know about the UFC and how it going. Only what’s in the media.
About the Du Plessis loss, he should’ve canceled that fight. He passed out 2 times after the weigh in. And was really sick. He knew he didn’t haw no stamina for that fight and just vent for it.
He has spent some time at Tristar Gym for a training camp about 3.5 years ago. After the first sparing session he did with a current UFC fighter he impressed Firas.
He spared every day 3 rounds.
He even rolled with GSP, he said GSP was crazy strong and good. Firaz wanted him to stay and welcomed him back any time.
It’s only speculation before he actually steps in the octagon. In my opinion he is a problem for everyone in top 5.
Du Plessis fought on fight pas his first fight . Solidic UFC contract will have a clause about a UFC’ title fight .
I’ve never seen a single KSW fight or event, I see fleeting posts about it, I have no idea where it even airs but it seems cool.
Yea sometimes the Fight Network in Canada has them and other times not? It’s weird but sometimes I catch cards.
