Leather is set to fly in Poland.

KSW 49 takes place May 18 at the Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland, and is co-headlined by a rematch between Scott Askham and Michal Materla for the vacant KSW middleweight belt. Last time out Askham delivered a brutal first-round TKO of the polish legend, and Materla has been seeking revenge ever since. Askham is hoping that a repeat win on Saturday may lure Mamed Khalidov out of retirement for a bout he’s had his eye on for quite some time.

In the main event, Roberto Soldic will defend his welterweight strap against Krystian Kaszubowski. The two-time KSW 170 lb. champ faces a stiff test in Kaszubowski, who hopes to remain undefeated despite coming into the bout as a heavy underdog. With both performers earning Knockout of the Night awards at KSW 46, there’s a safe chance the bout won’t go to a decision.

The event has plenty of depth to add outside of the main and co-main as well. Norman Parke will return from his self-imposed retirement to take on Artur Sowinski in a 163 lb. scrap, Karl Bedorf faces Damian Grabowski in a heavyweight tilt that, and UFC veteran Thiago Silva meets Martin Zawada in a 209 lb. catchweight bout.
