I’m fighting at home at KSW 101!

I've got a short-notice fight, and it's a big one!

On December 20 in Paris, France, I'll be fighting at KSW 101 at Paris La Defense Arena.

For me, this is a massive, massive fight. In my whole career, I've never fought in France, and this will be my first time fighting in France. It will be the biggest MMA show in France since the sport was legalised there, with a huge crowd expected for the event.

I'm taking on Poland's Artur Szczepaniak in a 79kg (174-pound) catchweight bout. Artur is KSW's number-four ranked welterweight contender, so it's a big fight.

The fight came together very quickly, and I'm excited to compete on home soil for the very first time. With a capacity of 30,000 spectators, Paris La Defense Arena is the biggest indoor arena in Europe, and I can't wait!
