In the second part of BloodyElbow.com’s extended interview with KSW founder Martin Lewandowski, the president talks about the importance of stars like Mariusz Pudzianowski and Mamed Khalidov, as well as his opinion on the UFC’s decision to venture into Poland.
On December 11, 2009, five-time World's Strongest Man title winner Mariusz Pudzianowski tried his hand at mixed martial arts. He signed with Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki (KSW) and debuted at the promotion's 12th event to a record viewership and unparalleled media interest.
Across the world in North America, MMA fans and pundits also tuned into the fight, or were at least curious enough to search for fight highlights.
