KSW 44 results: Karol Bedorf, Michal Materla rebound with big finishes in Poland

BAD MMA News — Sat, 09 Jun 2018 22:58:13 +0000

In a finish-rich night at Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland, Karol Bedorf made sure KSW 44’s heavyweight headliner was a quick one. Bedorf’s strategy to beat fellow headliner Mariusz Pudzianowski became clear quickly, as his low kicks ate away at the legs of the five-time World’s Strongest Man. It was Pudzianowski, however, who sealed his own fate, after an ill-timed takedown attempt ended with him in the last place he’d want to be: under a grappling expert. Bedorf was quick to find the fight-ending kimura, which led to the tap less than two minutes into the first round. It was certainly a solid way to end a layoff that started in Dec.

Here we go again: Filipovic out, Liam McGeary now meets Brett McDermott in Bellator 173 main event

For the second time in 48 hours, Bellator 173 headliner Liam McGeary has a new opponent for Friday’s card. On Monday, Bellator officials announced that Chris Fields had been forced out of the Bellator 173 main event against former light heavyweight champion McGeary (11-1 MMA, 8-1 BMMA) and would be replaced by promotional newcomer Vladimir Filipovic (8-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA). But today, Filipovic is out, too. Stepping up on two days’ notice to take his place will be Brett McDermott (7-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), who like Filipovic will be making his promotional debut. A Bellator official confirmed the change to MMAjunkie today and said visa issues for Filipovic were the culprit for taking him off the card. The news of McDermott’s short-notice assignment first was reported by SevereMMA’s Peter Carroll
