On Monday morning, KSW announced that a rematch between Mateusz Gamrot and Norman Parke would headline their Irish debut, KSW 40, at Dublin’s 3 Arena on Sunday, Oct. 22.
The first meeting between the two came at the record-breaking KSW 39: Colosseum at Poland’s national stadium in May, ending in a controversial decision for the Polish lightweight champion. The first fight was contested over three rounds, but in Dublin, the lightweight championship will be decided over five rounds.
KSW reported that they broke the UFC’s attendance record on the night of the ‘Colosseum’ event, with 57,766 spectators packed into a venue that reaches its official capacity at 58,145.
