KSW 74 results: Record-breaking Phil De Fries retains heavyweight title

KSW 74 took place Saturday, live from sold out Arena Ostrow in Ostrow Wielkopolski, Poland.

The record breaking heavyweight champion Phil De Fries (22-6) continued his incredible win streak with a first-round submission win over the dangerous Ricardo Prasel (13-4) in the main event. This win marks De Fries’ seventh title defense and his 10th straight win.

There was controversy in the co-main event as Tom Breese (15-3) was awarded the submission victory over Damian Janikowski (7-5). The Olympic medalist immediately contested that he did not tap, and following the bout, both fighters seemingly agreed to a rematch.

Elsewhere on the card, heavyweight destroyer Darko Stosic (17-5) knocked out veteran Michal Kita (21-15-1) in their rematch, Tomasz Romanowski (17-8) won his KSW middleweight debut with another first round KO, Norway’s Emil Meek (10-6) got his first win since 2016, and Georgia’s Sofiia Bagishvili (7-1) impressed with a bone-crunching submission win in her KSW debut.
