KSW 120: Sebastian Przybysz will face former UFC fighter

Sebastian Przybysz will step into the round cage for the 17th time. The last time he competed in it was in February, when he lost his championship belt in a bout with Vitalii Yakymenko. The popular “Sebić” was twice champion of the cockerel category. He first won the title in 2021 and defended it twice. He sat on the throne again in 2025 and this time defended the title once. The representative of the Mighty Bulls Gdynia is famous for giving amazing, emotion-laden fights. Seven times in his career he won bonuses for the best fight of the evening, he was also awarded once for the best knockout and twice for the best submission. Twice he also won the prestigious Heracles statuette – for best submission and for best fight of the year. Przybysz fought twenty professional fights, fourteen of which he won, and ten times he finished his rivals before time.

Rogerio Bontorin has been competing professionally since 2013, with 25 fights and seventeen wins. He made his KSW debut last September, but had to recognize the superiority of Vitali Yakymenko. The Brazilian, who will step into the round cage for the second time, specializes in ground fighting. To date, he has won fourteen times before time, of which he has done it eleven times by submitting opponents. Bontorin has six fights under his belt in the UFC organization, for which he has competed since 2019. Before joining KSW, however, he fought for the Japanese organization Rizin and participated in grappling tournaments. Bontorin has fought most of his fights in Brazil, but has also fought in Japan, the United States and Uruguay.
