KSW 41 takes place at Spodek Katowice in Katowice, Poland on Saturday (Dec. 23, 2017) at 11 a.m. (ET). In the main event Borys Mankowski defends his welterweight title against 22-year-old Roberto Soldic.
Mankoski (19-6-1) hasn’t defended his title in over a year and is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Mamed Khalidov at KSW 39 in May which snapped his six-fight win streak. The 28-year-old looks to avoid two-straight losses for the first time since September 2010. Soldic (12-2) makes his KSW debut and is currently riding a six-fight win streak. The Croatian fighter is coming off a 40-second TKO win over Lewis Long at Cage Warriors 47 in October.
In the co-main event, 39-year-old heavyweight Pawel Rak looks for his second-straight win when he faces Tomasz Oswiecinski. Rak (3-2) is coming off a first-round stoppage victory over Robert Burneika at KSW 39 which snapped a two-fight skid. Oswiecinski will be making his professional MMA debut at 44-years of age.
The featherweight title will also be on the line as champion Kleber Koike Erbst faces Artur Sowiński. Erbst (22-4-1) is coming off a unanimous decision victory over UFC veteran Marcin Wrzosek which pushed his winning streak to four-straight. Sowinski (18-8) has won five of his last six fights including a first-round submission victory over Łukasz Chlewicki at KSW 38.
