Since signing with KSW, Jewtuszko has fought three times for the Polish promotion, collecting two stoppage victories. His KSW 24 outing, will be his thirteen professional MMA fight. – I would like to disenchant Łódź, as I suffered the defeat to "Kornik" there. As for the thirteenth fight, I'm not superstitious. I go out and do everything in my power to retain the belt – Maciek promises.

Winner is a household name on the European MMA circuit. His biggest career achievement is reaching the final of the Ultimate Fighter reality show and handful of fights for the biggest show in the world UFC. What is interesting, one of Winner's teammates Dean Amasinger competed in KSW and was beaten by non-other than Jewtuszko himself.
