Mariusz Pudzianowski will take on Olympic weightlifting gold medalist Szymon Kolecki in the main event of KSW 47 in Lodz, Poland on Mar. 23.
KSW officially announced the fight at the beginning of Saturday’s KSW 46 broadcast.
A five-time World’s Strongest Man, Pudzianowski (12-6-0) has been a Polish fan favorite ever since his debut back in 2009. Although many were skeptical about his transition to MMA, he has earned his stripes in the sport, contesting 18 bouts to date and claiming notable wins over Rolles Gracie, Oli Thompson, and Sean McCorkle.
