After their wild battle last December, KSW middleweight champ Scott Askham (19-4) will be meeting Mamed Khalidov (34-7, 2 draws) once again in an immediate title rematch. If you haven’t been keeping tabs on Askham, you’re missing out. He’s been an absolute menace since his UFC release, remaining undefeated since then at 5-0.

Khalidov also remains a rangy striker and a bear of a grappler that has devastating ground strikes and submissions, making him one of the most formidable fighters to never fight in a major U.
