It wasn’t the spectacular clash some had expected, but KSW middleweight champion Scott Askham proved that he is much more than just a power striker on Saturday night, as he outfought and outgrappled returning legend Mamed Khalidov in the main event of KSW 52. Khalidov (34-7-2 MMA, 17-3-2 KSW) returned from retirement in a bid to defeat Askham (19-4 MMA, 4-0 KSW) in their three-round non-title bout in Gliwice, Poland and put himself firmly in the frame for more huge fights in 2020. But he came up against a more well-rounded fighter than he perhaps expected, as the Brit nullified the Chechen-born Pole’s submission threat and dominated from the top position throughout a grueling three-round battle
