KSW founder discusses promotion’s inception and challenging ‘underground discotheque’ perception

In the first part of BloodyElbow.com’s extended interview with KSW founder Martin Lewandowski, the promotion’s president talks about the organization’s birth, fighting the underground perception, and key milestones that cemented KSW as a leading promotion in Europe.

On April 11, 2015, the UFC ventured into Poland for the first time. It served as the latest destination in their European expansion, but it would have been a difficult one to achieve had another promotion not helped pave the path by cultivating the local market and creating an unquenchable thirst for mixed martial arts.

Martin Lewandowski founded Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki (KSW) back in 2004.
