KSW champion Scott Askham on resurgence: ‘I was cut too early from the UFC’

Scott Askham is content to finish his career at KSW, and despite having no regrets about six-fight run with the UFC, he does feel as though his time with the promotion was brought to a close too prematurely.

The KSW middleweight champion has blazed a trail through his promotional division, beating legendary Pole Michal Materla on two occasions with brutal stoppage finishes. This weekend he looks to bag the biggest victory of his career when he takes on legendary middleweight Mamed Khalidov in the main event of KSW 52 in Gliwice, Poland and insists that he is very different fighter from the man that international audiences may remember from his last trip to the Octagon in 2017.
