Mau0144kowski was originally supposed to fight Michail Tsarev, but on August 29 Tsarev was submitted by Jesse Taylor in just 40 seconds at ‘League S-70: Russia vs. World’, this prompted the promotion to insert Taylor into the co-main event. The new bout was announced on Wednesday.
Mau0144kowski (17-5-1) has won four straight, including three finishes. In his most recent outing, he beat Mohsen Bahari by unanimous decision in a catchweight bout at KSW 30 in February.
