KSW 41: Borys Mankowski vs Roberto Soldic Live Stream, Results And Highlights

Your last night of action of MMA before Christmas comes from Poland as KSW 41 pull the curtain down on a fantastic year.

In the main event, KSW welterweight champion Borys Mankowski (19-6-1) will take on Roberto Soldic (12-2-0). Only two weeks ago, Mankowski was expecting to fight two weight EFC champion Dricus Du Plessis, but after a hand injury ruled the South African out of action, the Croatian Soldic stepped up to the plate on short notice. Mankowski will be looking to get back to winning ways following a loss to Mamed Khalidov at KSW 39 earlier this year, but Soldic will provide stiff competition and is coming off the back of a big win last time out to Lewis Long at Cage Warriors 84 earlier this year.

Elsewhere on the card there’s plenty to keep you entertained. Artur Sowinski (18-8-0) will get the opportunity to reclaim his KSW featherweight title when he faces Kleber Koike Erbst (22-4-1). Unfortunately, Erbst missed weight on Friday and was stripped of his belt after being fined 40% of his fight purse. This now means that only Sowinski can take home the belt on Saturday night.

In the co-main event, infamous Polish rapper Pawel “Popek” Rak (3-2) will take on famous Polish actor Tomasz Oswiecinski (0-0) who will be making his professional debut.
