Ibrahim Chuzhigaev (19-6) and Maciej Rozanski (15-6) will meet in a rematch at KSW 120 on July 18 in Gdynia. Their original bout was ruled a no-contest after an eye poke.
Ibrahim Chuzhigaev and Maciej Rozanski are set to settle unfinished business when they meet in a rematch at KSW 120 on July 18 in Gdynia, Poland. The two fighters will get another crack at each other after their first meeting was ruled a no-contest following an eye poke.
Chuzhigaev enters the rematch carrying a professional record of 19-6, a mark that reflects a lengthy and well-traveled career on the European MMA circuit. The original bout left his ledger with an unsatisfying asterisk, and the July date gives him the opportunity to produce a definitive result.
Rozanski, who stands at 15-6, is equally motivated heading into the rematch. Like his opponent, he was denied a clear outcome the first time around, and returning to the KSW cage in front of a Polish crowd in Gdynia adds another layer of significance to the contest.
Why it matters
- The no-contest outcome left both fighters without a clean win or loss, making a rematch a natural and necessary follow-up.
- KSW 120 is set for Gdynia, giving Rozanski the potential advantage of competing in front of a home crowd.
- With both men carrying comparable records, the result will carry real weight in determining where each stands in the KSW pecking order.
