> KSW

Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki (English: Martial Arts Confrontation), universally known as KSW, is Poland’s premier mixed martial arts organization and one of the leading MMA promotions in Europe. Founded in 2004 by Martin Lewandowski and Maciej Kawulski — who met through Warsaw’s Hotel Marriott where Lewandowski was manager — KSW grew from a local concept into a flagship European promotion. Headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, KSW is known for infrequent but large-scale, spectacle-driven events with stacked cards, often filling major arenas across Poland. The promotion is famed for its four- and eight-man tournament formats and has been recognized as the VMTV European Promotion of the Year (2022). KSW is considered one of the most important MMA organizations outside of the UFC/ONE/PFL tier.
