[keithlewis]

KSW Federation is again very sorry to inform that another fighter had to withdraw from the Saturday’s KSW18 show in Płock’s Orlen Arena. MMA’s unpredictable nature hit us again with an information that Jerome Le Banner will not able to fight in event’s headliner against Marcin Różalski. The Frenchman’s team notified us today that “Geronimo” broke his meniscus during his last training before his flight to Poland.

KSW Federation was able to secure a replacement in a matter of hours. Różalski will now face a widely renowned Dutchman Valentijn Overeem. Amsterdam’s Golden Glory fighter is a veteran of over fifty mixed martial arts contests. During his sixteen-year long career he fought for such formidable organizations as Pride, Strikeforce, Pancrase and 2Hot2Handle. “The Python” dwarves Różalski with experience and even on short notice poses a very serious threat to the Pole’s undefeated MMA record.
