Aleksandar Ilic booked to face Cezary Kesik at KSW 51

Aleksandar Ilic has signed on the dotted line for his second KSW bout following his viral knockout of Polish fan favorite and Olympic bronze medallist Damian Janikowski in his promotional debut.

KSW confirmed to MMA Fighting that the Serbian middleweight will face undefeated Polish knockout artist Cezary Kesik in his sophomore promotional outing. The organization docks in Croatia for the first time for KSW 51 on Nov. 9 and following his stunning finish of Janikowski, Ilic is well on his way to becoming a big name in the Balkan region.

Ilic (12-2-0) fights out of the same gym that produced Croatian prospect and KSW welterweight champion Roberto Soldic, UFD Gym Dusseldorf.
