Radosław Paczuski will face Michalski

Michał Michalski has twelve fights under his belt in the octagon. He last fought in May. He faced Piotr Kuberski, the interim middleweight champion, but had to concede defeat inside the cage. That loss snapped Michalski’s impressive five-fight winning streak. The popular “Cukier” is known for putting on spectacular fights and knocking his opponents out. Throughout his career, which began in 2013, he has finished nine of his fourteen victories before the final bell, triumphed in the first round eight times, and knocked out his opponents the same number of times. In KSW, as many as five of his bouts have been named “Fight of the Night.”

Radosław Paczuski has eight KSW fights under his belt. He last fought in the octagon in August of last year. His opponent was Piotr Kuberski, and the interim championship belt was on the line. The bout did not go Paczuski’s way and ended his four-fight winning streak. Paczuski entered the world of MMA from kickboxing. His achievements include, among others, the titles of world and Polish kickboxing champion, as well as European runner-up in Muay Thai. In professional competition, he has won championship belts from the DSF Kickboxing Challenge and FEN organizations. Paczuski has been competing in MMA since 2019. He has fought twelve bouts and won eight of them. He has knocked out his opponents six times and has earned three “Fight of the Night” awards in KSW.
