Daniel Torres stripped of title after weight miss, KSW 65 weigh-in results
The KSW 65 weigh-ins took place Friday morning, December 17, in Gliwice, Poland, and it proved to be full of drama.
Firstly, both Mamed Khalidov (35-7-2) and Roberto Soldic (19-3) made weight, making their Champ vs. Champ Superfight official for tomorrow night’s main event. The contest will see Khalidov defend his middleweight title against welterweight champion Roberto Soldic in a fight widely regarded as one of the biggest ever in European MMA history.
Brazil’s Daniel Torres (12-4) missed weight for his first title defense and, as a result he has been fined and stripped of the title. The bout will remain five-time five minute rounds and former champ Salahdine Parnasse (15-1-1) still has the opportunity to win the belt back in what is a highly anticipated rematch between these rivals in the co-main event of the evening.
On the undercard there was some more shuffling & changes. Patryk Likus (1-0) will now face Piotr Olszynka (6-7-1) after Hassan Shaaban, who himself stepped in on just a few days notice, couldn’t make the contracted weight and Bartosz Rewera (1-0) missed weight for his bout with Shamad Erzanukaev (0-0) and will be fined accordingly.
KSW 65 is available to watch live around the world tomorrow night, December 18, on www.KSWTV.com & the KSW App and exclusively available on Viaplay in Poland, Scandinavia, & the Baltics.
