KSW kicks off 2021 with a snug event featuring more of their workhorse talent without too much flash and a lot of focus on the meat and potatoes of the game.
French phenom Saladdine Parnasse (14-0, 1 draw) has been a joy to watch in KSW, having adequate development for a bright prospect and evolving nicely to be a solid and proper featherweight champion. His pinpoint striking coupled with his takedown and submission defense have made him a problem, and he’s got a great challenge ahead. This time he faces Brazilian/Austrian Daniel Torres (11-4), another striker with a Karate base that is perfectly comfortable taking the fight to the ground and loves to get into prolonged exchanges to land damage.
