I have to hand it to Vemola. Since getting cut from UFC after a poor 2-4 stint (save from a first round knockout of Seth Petruzelli) in three different weight classes, he's gone on to win 3 titles from solid regional promotions in Europe. Strus has shown promise in the KSW organization going 2-1 there with wins over journeymen Matt Horwich and Krzysztof Kulak. He's also fought at the last MMAA event, in a losing effort to Brazilian Wendres Carlos Da Silva. So this would be a big win for either of them. Vemola would be a great pickup for either KSW or CWFC in Europe. A win for Strus could make him another marquee Middleweight for KSW or MMAA. The rest of the card consists of several veterans in the Czech Republic and a few solid prospects to watch out for.

Vemola vs Strus is a good matchup. If Vemola wins it would be nice to see him as a LHW or MW title contender in KSW.

Agreed, Vemola vs. Materla/Silva winner would be fun. Or against Goran Reljic at LHW.

Yeah, I like that fight and would be cool to see him in KSW.
