Mariusz Pudzianowski v Quentin Domingos | KSW
The five time world’s strongest man faces the imposing French-Portuguese heavyweight at Atlas Arena in Lodz, Poland on March 21.
The headlining act for KSW 53: Fight Code is finally set and it sees a pair of very large heavyweights square off.
Fan favourite and KSW legend, Mariusz Pudzianowski, returns to the cage to take on 6’3” former Glory kickboxer, Quentin ‘Ruskov’ Domingos at Atlas Arena, which has become a yearly stop-off for the organisation. The promotion announced the booking via a tweet on Monday evening. KSW 53: Fight Code takes place on Saturday, March 21 in Lodz, Poland and will be available to purchase at KSWTV.com.
Pudzianowski (13-7, 1NC) is a key figure in KSW’s history and brought mainstream attention to the company when he made the transition from the strongman world to MMA. All but one of his professional fights have taken place in the promotion and he has shared the cage with notable heavyweights such as Tim Sylvia, Bob Sapp, Butterbean and James Thompson. In his last outing, the five times world strongest man defeated former bodybuilder, Erko Jun, by TKO after being stunned multiple times on the feet.
Domingos (5-1) is an imposing physical figure due to his distinguished beard and multitude of tattoos. He made his MMA debut two years ago and has remained active ever since. ‘Ruskov’ has a 100% finishing rate ahead of his KSW debut but Pudzianowski represents a step up in competition for the French-Portuguese fighter in what is the biggest fight of his career so far.
