It is finally happening, friends. Mariusz Pudzianowski and Senegalese wrestling champion Bombardier have been rebooked for KSW 64 on Oct. 23 in Lodz, Poland, promotion officials told ESPN.
The two behemoths were supposed to fight in March, but Bombardier withdrew on fight day due to appendicitis. Bombardier, real name Serigne Ousmane Diaz, is 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds. He is 2-0 in MMA. Pudzianowski, a five-time world’s strongest man, is 15-7 in MMA. He is 6-foot-1 and cuts to 265 pounds.

Those submission attempts were Ortega’s best moments in the fight and the damage he took from Volkanovski after failing to secure the tap was ultimately too much to overcome.
Ortega remained game throughout the rest of the fight, but Volkanovski continued to dominate the action with leg kicks and heavy right hands and jabs en route to scorecards of 49-46, 50-45 and 50-44.
