Scott Askham made it clear that he wanted to fight the best KSW could offer after signing a three-fight deal with the promotion last month.
KSW have granted the UFC veteran’s wish by pitting him against Polish fan favorite Michal Materla at KSW 42 on March 3.
Askham was cut by the UFC after clocking up a 2-4 record under the banner. Following his final UFC loss against fellow Englishman Brad Scott at UFC Fight Night 107 in London, he regained his winning momentum with a convincing win over Luke Barnatt at ACB 70 in September.
