The anticipated KSW 34 event will be headlined by the trio championship fights.
 
In the main event, the long-time KSW heavyweight ruler Karol Bedorf (13-2, 4 KO, 5 Sub) will look to continue his seven-fight unbeaten streak. In November, the Berserkers Team / Ankos Zapasy product finished highly-touted compatriot Michał Kita with a fantastic second round head kick knockout.
 
The KSW 34 co-feature will see one of the best light heavyweights in Europe Tomasz “Giraffe” Narkun (11-2, 1 KO, 10 Sub) defend his title for the first time. The submission specialist earned his breakout career victory in October in London, when he knocked out respected veteran Goran Reljic inside two minutes of the first round.
 
Third bout from the top of the star-studded fight card will feature one of the most exciting Polish fighters – KSW inaugural featherweight champion Artur “Kornik” Sowiński (16-7, 6 KO, 6 Sub). The 28-year-old won the title at KSW 33 last month, after a thrilling battle with the Japanese Brazilian jiu jitsu ace Kleber Koike Erbst.

Going to be a great card with three title fights.

Narkun fight is for LHW title (in OP it says MW 185)

I'm surprised Sowiński isn't also holding a skateboard

Former European and British mauy thai champion James McSweeney (15-13, 9 KO, 6 Sub) will challenge Karol Bedorf (13-2, 4 KO, 3 Sub) for the heavyweight title at KSW 34, March 5^th in Warsaw. The championship contest will serve as the headliner of the first KSW show in 2016.
 
Englishman, who lives and trains in Thailand, made his KSW debut in London back in October, when he submitted Marcin Rożalski inside the first round. Out of his fifteen professional victories, eleven came by way of knockout and six by submission. In his nine-year MMA career, McSweeney fought for the biggest organizations in the world, including UFC, One, BAMMA and Cage Rage.
 
It will be Bedorf’s third defense of the title which he won in 2013 by stopping the Polish judo legend Paweł Nastula. In his next three outings, the Pole viciously dispatched BJJ specialist Rolles Gracie, outpointed K-1 standout Peter Graham and most recently scored a fantastic high-kick knockout against countryman Michał Kita.

Swiss grappler and muay thai specialist Yasubey Enomoto (14-6, 1 KO, 5 Sub) signed a multi-fight deal with KSW and will make his debut in Poland at KSW 34 on March 5^th in Warsaw. The former M-1 Global welterweight champion will face the former KSW champion Alsambek Saidov (17-4, 4 KO, 4 Sub) in one of the main card bouts.

Nice bout! Always a fan of Yasubey.

Good title fight for Bedorf. Would have been cool if they could have got Goltsov or someone a bit better but still pretty good.

Yasubey/Saidov should be a good one.

Bulgarian middleweight Svetlozar Savov (15-5, 3 KO, 11 Sub) signed a multi-fight contract with KSW Federation to compete at the upcoming KSW 34 card on March 5^th in Warsaw. The 27-year-old will battle the up-and-coming Polish knockout artist Łukasz Bieńkowski (4-1, 2 KO).
 
For the last four years Savov has been the middleweight champion of the Slovenian organization WFC. In his championship tenure, the former freestyle wrestler defeated some of the best Balkan fighters, including Dragan Tesanovic and Bojan Velickovic.
 
In his most recent outing,  the Bulgarian submitted Japanese veteran and former KSW fighter Ryuta Sakurai with a first-round guillotine choke. Out of his fifteen professional victories, eleven came by submission and three by knockout.

KSW Federation added another exciting prospect to its growing roster of fighters. 25-year old Brazilian Andre Muniz (13-3, 3 KO, 9 Sub) signed a multi-fight deal with Europe’s leading promotion and will face the reigning KSW light heavyweight champion Tomasz Narkun (11-2, 1 KO, 10 Sub) in the KSW 34 co-headliner on March 5^th in Warsaw.
 
Nicknamed “Sergipano”, the Tata Fight Team talent is on a seven-bout winning streak, which includes unanimous decision victory over former Pride star and WEC champion Paulo Filho. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt submitted his last six opponents with various chokes with none of these bouts lasting longer than two rounds. Despite his young age, the Brazilian, has a six-year professional MMA experience and sixteen fights under his belt.
 
A 10-month older Pole also sports a black belt in BJJ. In Warsaw, Narkun will defend his title for the first time. He claimed the KSW light heavyweight strap back in October, when he viciously knocked out Goran Reljic at KSW 32 in London.

If Bedorf is victorious, I think KSW should allow Coco in RIZIN, because there's basically nothing left for him in Poland.

I really like this fight.  I think it was smart for KSW to bring in someone new to challenge for the belt at 205.

Super exciting Brazilian prospect Fabiano „Jacarezinho” Silva da Conceicao (26-6, 8 KO, 12 Sub) will battle the inaugural KSW featherweight champion Artur „Kornik” Sowiński (16-7, 6 KO, 6 Sub) in his first title defense at KSW 34 on March 5 in Warsaw. The 27-year-old Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza protégée signed a mult-fight contract with the Europe’s leading promotion.
 
Member of the renowned X-Gym team boasts an impressive record of twenty-six wins, eight by knockout and twelve by submission, and only six defeats. In his most recent outing, Silva knocked out Rolando Velasco at Tachi Palace Fights 22 event in Lemoore, California.
 
In 2015 the widely read MMAFighting.com website featured “Jacarezinho” on the “top 15 Brazilian MMA prospects to watch” list.
 
For the 28-year-old Pole, it will be another stern test in his KSW featherweight tenure. At KSW 33 Sowiński defeated another highly-touted prospect Kleber Koike Erbst via a dominant decision.

^KSW bringing in some solid new names to fight for the belts here. Looking forward to this event with the 3 title fights.

Muniz out; Cassio 'Jacare' de Oliveira (17-6-1) faces Tomasz Narkun (11-2) for LHW title at ‪KSW 34‬ next weekend.

Oliveira is coming off a quick SUB win over Ronny Markes, he'll challenge for the Jungle Fight LHW title a month after this bout.

^This is great....Top JF LHW Contender vs. Top KSW LHW Contender. Very interesting fight.

Some good fights in KSW coming up tomorrow
