Rumor : UFC makes Poland debut in April

[Xuh]

Where the Poles at to chime in here?

Actually better question, what's the MMA climate in Poland atm?

I've not been to Poland (though this would be a good excuse to go :wink but I can say from England that when I go to wrestling class the coach is a Pole, when I go to MMA class the coach is a pole, when I went to a kickboxing class the coach was a pole, and most of the guys in the class were Poles (or other eastern euro) :wink:

Poland has the most MMA talent / fanbase in the EU IMO and a Jedrzejczyk fight in Poland would be great for attention in that country, and for the division (would easily sell).

 

[Just Jared]

Not sure why so many are assuming that the main event needs to include a fighter from Poland. Plenty of the international cards haven't had a local in the main event. Germany got Mousasi-Munoz, for example. I'd expect a card in Poland to get similar treatment.

I hope it's in Krakow, visited there last year and it's a short flight from the UK and a great city

Finally found somewhere that drinks more vodka than I do!

Does anyone know Grabowski

Tybura, Niedzwiedz and Kowalkiewicz would be great signs.

Yes, I think it would be a great time to sign Karolina Kowalkiewicz (6-0) to the UFC. She is currently ranked #7 strawweight in the world according to Unified Women’s Mixed Martial Arts Rankings, propelled to that height by her defeat of Mizuki Inoue at Invicta FC 9, a fight that was awarded "Fight of the Night".

This interview video (in English), following her fight against Mizuki, has exciting footage from that fight at 0:36 to 1:20, and 1:32 to 1:44, and 1:53 to 2:10.

Bruce Buffer is sweating bullets looking at all these Polish last names.

Well KSW - the main MMA promotion in Poland - seems to be doing well and that has been going for a while. They have some good fighters in the UFC, Jan Blatchowicz (or something like that), Jotko, Bandel and Joanna of course.

If only they signed Mamed Khalidov.

 

[closetfighter]

People from Poland are called POLES, not "polacks" you fucking asshole

Lol no kidding.

It's like me asking how many n-words are on the card.

 

[Project 86]

Khalidov is the best polish fighter imo and ufc couldn't sign him

the man has 1 loss in his last 30 fights

 

[cakemuncher]

Pudzianowski vs CM Punk. Make it happen! :icon_twis

Wait no, Burneika vs CM Punk. :icon_chee
