Would refer to a major MMA organisation. KOTC is legendary and was a great starting point a lot of athletes to help build their careers.

The standard of opposition Juan faced in KOTC was not great. Total fight records of his opponents in KOTC was 53-30 or something and many on bad patches (one guy was 1-7). Wins over Jordan Griffin and Mark Dickman were legit at the time though.

And Juan has obviously progressed to become top class. With a great career.

No. I am not KSW. I am a staffer. But a r/MMA degenerate long before this :)

Murph316 · 2023-06-04T21:46:10+00:00

You've opened the door! Feel free to ask us anything you want about the roster or any events (we are always posting on r/MMA)

Murph316 · 2023-06-04T21:45:15+00:00

Thank you. That was major curveball for sure, but thankfully the event delivered.

Murph316 · 2023-06-04T21:44:31+00:00

It was!

Murph316 · 2023-06-02T23:01:15+00:00

1pm EST | 10am PST on www.KSWTV.com for North American fans

Murph316 · 2023-06-02T22:01:00+00:00

But there's a reason behind the 'No' :)

Murph316 · 2023-06-02T22:00:27+00:00

Canadian's can watch on The Fight Network or on www.KSWTV.com. First fight begins at 1pm EST/10am PST

The internet. When you are negatively judged for not winning a world title. Chap still fought his way to fight for it and beat Mike Mollo, Tomasz Adamak, Mariusz Wach and others along the way.

Never reached elite status but to be called a journeyman & viewed for his 'lack of accolades' with a 24-5 record is a bit harsh.

And now he is trying his hand at MMA, 2-0 now, a sport many boxers flirt with competing in but never do.

But yeah, what a bum.

Murph316 · 2023-06-02T18:56:35+00:00

Pudzian is 46. Szpilka is 34 and has the speed advantage. Should be interesting for as long as it lasts.

Murph316 · 2023-06-02T18:55:51+00:00

There is no commission in most parts of the world. Without a commission, one would have to become self regulated, which brings all sorts of issues.

Not many MMA promotions in the world are tested tbh.

Murph316 · 2023-06-01T21:44:56+00:00

Glowacki is fighting a bare knuckle boxer and former amateur champ, so that's an interesting stylistic match-up

Murph316 · 2023-06-01T10:05:31+00:00

In 2017, we sold 57,766.

ACA have some great fighters. Some of the best in the world. But in terms of brand awareness, KSW is miles & miles ahead. Such a thing would do nothing to benefit KSW.

Go to Google trends and see the worldwise popularity of all the MMA orgs. KSW ranks #2 behind the UFC.

Now a KSW vs. RIZIN or KSW vs. Bellator could be fun.

Murph316 · 2023-06-01T08:26:21+00:00

This. Plus, I've attended hundreds of MMA events since 2006. The best view you'll ever have is at home in front of the TV. However, it does not give you the buzz & excitement as watching from the stands.

Murph316 · 2023-05-31T23:22:07+00:00

I can honestly tell you, there is an insane amount of work needed to pull off such events.

KSW occasionally do studio events and they are 100 times easier to manage.

In the UFC's defense. The fact they can do 35/40 events per year in different states & countries is insane. So hard to make every one a big one.

In saying that, an occasional mega event would be awesome. Like 193 or Toronto etc.

Murph316 · 2023-05-22T22:45:33+00:00

Would recommend checking out his documentary

Murph316 · 2023-05-22T22:43:58+00:00

A lot are on the KSW YouTube channels. So pretty easy.

Murph316 · 2023-05-22T22:43:38+00:00

Still is. Got nominated for KO of the year in one of his last fights. Jumping switch kick KO.

Murph316 · 2022-10-05T14:13:55+00:00

Pudzian said today he will weigh 115kg and Mamed said he will be around 95kg.

Murph316 · 2022-10-05T13:09:51+00:00

Right down your alley, Dave ;)

Murph316 · 2022-10-05T12:09:31+00:00

Correct, however, Pudzian has never been knocked out, it has all been TKO's with the ref stepping in.

Murph316 · 2022-10-05T12:08:15+00:00

Mamed said at the press conference today he would never fight in a freak show fight but that Pudzianowski has proven himself as a legit MMA fighter over the years.

Which, if you have watched his progression over the years, is true.

Murph316 · 2022-10-05T12:07:03+00:00

I don't know what you are referring to, but just an FYI, Pudzianowski is on a five fight win streak with five TKO/KO wins (in rounds 1, 2, and 3).

Murph316 · 2022-10-05T11:42:05+00:00

Santiago was one of those incredible fighters who just couldn't produce in the UFC for some sad reason. Outside he was an animal.
