Ibrahim Chuzhigaev (19-6) and Maciej Rozanski (15-6) will meet in a rematch at KSW 120 on July 18 in Gdynia. Their first fight was ruled a no-contest after an eye poke.
Ibrahim Chuzhigaev and Maciej Rozanski are headed for a rematch, with KSW confirming the bout for KSW 120 on July 18 in Gdynia, Poland.
The two fighters first met under the KSW banner but never reached a definitive conclusion — the contest was ruled a no-contest after an eye poke, leaving the rivalry unsettled and a rematch the logical next step.
Chuzhigaev carries a professional record of 19 wins and 6 losses into the bout, bringing considerable experience to the KSW cage. Rozanski enters at 15 wins and 6 losses, making this a closely matched pairing on paper with both men carrying nearly identical career loss totals.
Why it matters
- The original meeting ended without a winner, giving both fighters extra motivation to settle the score
- KSW 120 in Gdynia represents a significant regional card, and a clean finish in either direction would carry real divisional weight
- Both men enter with winning career records, meaning the loser faces a meaningful setback while the winner earns a legitimate claim to having bested their rival
With unfinished business between them and a live crowd in Gdynia set to host the event on July 18, Chuzhigaev and Rozanski will finally have the opportunity to produce the decisive result their first encounter denied them.
