Marcin Held ahead of his fight with Gallon at KSW 101

Marcin Held will face Davy Gallon at KSW 101, the light heavyweight fighter talked about his preparations for the fight at the gala in Paris.

Marcin Held will appear in the second fight of the evening at the KSW 101 gala in Paris. The excellent grappler, who fought in the most prestigious MMA organizations in the world during his long career, is slowly building his position in the KSW federation ranking.

At KSW 101 Marcin Held will face Davy Gallon, an equally experienced veteran. The 35-year-old former FEN and GFA champion will probably want to beat the Pole by fighting in front of his home crowd. However, the Bastion Tychy and ANKOS MMA fighter will be the favorite.

It should also be remembered that Held is the official reserve in the Parnasse vs Varela fight, and if either fighter drops out of the schedule at the last minute for health reasons then Marcin will face the chance to fight for the lightweight championship belt.

Jaru conducted an online interview with Marcin to ask him about his preparations and attitude before the KSW 101 bout. Held revealed that as he gets older, it’s getting easier to make weight. He also admitted that he doesn’t catcall himself watching rival fights.

– With the weight, it’s like always. There is no problem. Someone even asked me if I’m getting worse at making weight as I get older. I’m getting better and better, easier and easier. I don’t know if it’s due to the body, or the fact that as I get older I have less desire to snack on something. I have it more and more systematized, from fight to fight I make notes to myself, I know what it looked like the previous times, so I can compare it all.

– He was transferred at the beginning of the camp, then I do not return to it and do my own thing. I don’t want to stress myself somehow extra, I knew what to do during the preparations, what sparring partners to look for. Now I don’t putter around with his fights anymore, it’s not like I’m sitting until the end, watching and analyzing. This work was already done. The preparations went very well without injury, and that is altogether the most important thing. I feel good, I’m fresh.
