KSW 65 took place at the Gliwice Arena in Glwicie, Poland, on Saturday evening, December 18. The main event boasted one of the best match-ups in European MMA history with a Champion vs. Champion Superfight.
In what was an action-packed fight, it was Roberto Soldic (20-3) who claimed victory with a second round KO over the legendary Mamed Khalidov (35-8-2) in the second round. With this result the Croatian now claims Champ Champ status in KSW, holding both the KSW welterweight and middleweight titles.
In the co-main event, Salahdine Parnasse (16-1-1) regained the featherweight title with a unanimous decision victory over rival Daniel Torres (12-5). The Frenchman had a point to prove in this bout having dropped the title to Torres at the beginning over the year and he certainly banished the demons of that loss with this victory.
