With all the trash talk shared between them, Mateusz Gamrot had no interest in touching gloves at the beginning of his fight with Norman Parke, nor was he willing to shake his hand afterward – even after he turned his face into a mush. On Saturday at KSW 53, Gamrot (16-0) scored a third-round doctor stoppage TKO win over Parke to stay undefeated and settle their feud in the night’s main event in Warsaw, Poland. The fight originally was scheduled to crown an interim lightweight champion, but Parke (28-7-1) missed weight. Gamrot eventually came to his senses on holding a grudge and eventually made peace with Parke, whom he defeated once before in 2017, but only after the Englishman apologized on the mic

After two controversial fights built his feud with Mateusz Gamrot into one of the most heated rivalries in Polish promotion KSW, Norman Parke is determined to make a statement in their third meeting and walk away with the undisputed lightweight title. Parke (28-6-1 MMA, 4-1 KSW) won the interim lightweight belt with victory over Marcin Wrzocek last year at KSW 50 in London to put himself in pole position to face old rival and undefeated lightweight champ Gamrot (15-0 MMA, 11-0 KSW) for a third time. Now the Northern Irishman says there’s plenty to settle when they face off behind closed doors in Warsaw at KSW 53 on Saturday. “I think it’s the biggest fight that KSW could make,” he told MMA Junkie ahead of the fight. “Given how the last two fights went, there’s nothing really decisive. He’s got his say on what he thinks went down in those two fights, and I’ve had my opinion as well

Polish promotion KSW returns to action on July 11 with a bonafide grudge match at the top of the card, as undefeated lightweight champion Mateusz Gamrot returns to action against interim champ Norman Parke . The main event bout in Warsaw, Poland will complete a trilogy of fights involving the dueling 155-pounders in a rivalry that has been filled with bad blood. Their first bout at “KSW 39: Colosseum” ended in a unanimous decision victory for Poland’s Gamrot (15-0 MMA, 11-0 KSW) after a highly-competitive clash that some observers felt Parke (28-6-1 MMA, 4-1 KSW) had done enough to win. The bout also featured a controversial incident where Parke accused Gamrot of biting his fingers during the fight. In response, Gamrot accused the Northern Irishman of pushing his fingers into his mouth.
