From the grassroots to global ambitions, Poland’s KSW is one of the world’s hottest MMA properties

Martin Lewandowski allowed himself a moment of reflection five months ago. He was standing inside the cavernous PGE Narodowy Stadium in Warsaw, the largest soccer stadium in Poland.

More than 57,000 fans had filled the massive venue. They were not there to see the Polish national soccer (football in Poland) team. The record crowd was on hand to watch a night of MMA fights — KSW 39: Colosseum on May 27.

“I came to a point where I decided I need to take one step behind to see how big it is,” Lewandowski, KSW’s co-owner, told MMA Fighting.
