At the KSW 78 tournament, to be held in Szczecin on 21 January, light heavyweights Pole Lukasz Sudolski and German Kleber Raimundo Silva will meet on the main card. Both have two league appearances each, one win and one defeat. But who will prevail in the head-to-head clash? The fight is planned for 21:00 UK time.
We believe Silva’s prolonged downtime will play against him. In the octagon, he will face a young and well-rounded athlete. Sudolski can intelligently combine punching with wrestling, which will help him to lead the fight according to his own script. Raimundo has few tools to cause the ambitious Pole any real trouble.
Pole Lukasz Sudolski is nicknamed ‘’The Bee’’ and has a record of 11 fights (10 wins, one loss). The 29-year-old made his last two appearances for another local Babilon MMA organization, where he was able to win, thereby rehabilitating himself for his only loss to Igor Poteri at Contender Series. Indeed Lukasz had an opportunity to break into the UFC but was unable to match the promising Ukrainian.
Sudolski is good in wrestling and also endowed with decent knockout power, which he doesn’t shy away from demonstrating when he’s on his feet. On six occasions he has managed to finish his opponents by knockouts.
The 35-year-old Brazilian has had an extensive career, and his wandering from one promotion to another has become commonplace. ‘’Orgulho’’ has had 20 wins and 12 losses, and has taken part in leagues such as OFC, Brave CF, RCC, M-1 Challenge, Bellator, Jungle Fight and others. As you can see he has visited quite a few Russian associations. He had his last fight in June 2021, in which he lost on points to Sharaf ‘’Wolfhound’’ Davlatmurodov.
‘’Orgulho’’ has an impressive striking technique but is not very good at defending against take-downs. More often than not the fighter relies on his knockout power.
