KSW 76, November 2022. The fight of Salahdine Parnasse with Marian Ziółkowski is canceled by a Pole's injury. KSW 83: Colosseum 2, June 2023. Marian Ziółkowski already during the gala, specifically during a warm -up, experiences a serious knee injury and cannot fight with the Frenchman. It seemed that the clash of “Golden Boy” with the French Super Gwiazda would never take place. That fate insisted and said “no”. We were fooled. Gods MMA They were preparing a different plan.
Parnasse vs Ziółkowski. The fight that was supposed to happen. Only no one could predict when
The plan according to which this fight will lead to the same thing that stopped her earlier. Injury. Marcin Held's injury (30-10), i.e. the original rival for Parnasse for this gala. KSW had to come up with something quickly, because the gala in France without Salahdine is not right. And that Ziółkowski, with Aymard Guih (19-13), was also to fight on it, everything was arranged by itself. The Pole jumped into the fight of the evening, and Guih was found another opponent (Mateusz Makarowski).
Three years ago We would say that Ziółkowski may have tools to stop Parnasse like no one else in lightweight. However, all the time the Pole had serious health problems and fought only once in April 2024, when he lost to another Frenchman Wilson Varela (whom Parnasse later defeated) by … an injury. All these injuries could significantly weaken “Golden Boy”, which also prepared most of the time for a completely different rival. The Frenchman was a gigantic favorite, but one false in combat sports movementone stray blow and sensation ready.
On the legs – equal to. On the ground floor – theater of one actor
After a few moments of mutual examination, Parnasse went in wrestling and did it effectively. The Frenchman came to the Pole behind his back, and after a few stronger blows he even jumped on him for a moment and hung like a backpack. The first round after the dictation of Kylian Mbappe French MMA “. In the second Ziółkowski it went a bit better for a long time. For over half a round he kept a fight in a stand -up collar, where he was a worthy rival for Parnasse. Unfortunately, he was finally overthrown, and the Frenchman's concert began in the ground floor. Salahdine developed a favorable position and lowered several powerful bombs on the head of the Pole. The judge decided to go to the Pole and stop the fight, although it is possible that it is a bit too fast. Ziółkowski was conscious all the time, and after all he protested.
Regardless of the rightness of this interruption, Parnasse once again won and proved that in lightweight there is no strong. Third victory in a row, and a total of the thirteenth in KSW. We will see what Marcin Held says, because probably when he cures, the federation will return to this fight. Ziółkowski lost for the second time in a row, but he loses little on this defeat. He must catch the rhythm, stay healthy and who knows. Maybe someday we'll see his rematch with a Frenchman.
