A light heavyweight clash between two of the divisions most clinical finishers will go down at KSW 45 as Brazilian Wagner Prado (14-3) meets Sweden’s Max Nunes (17-5) at KSW 45 on October 6 at The SSE Arena, Wembley.
Prado had signed a multi-fight contract with KSW earlier this year and made his debut with an impressive TKO win over SBG’s Chris Fields at KSW 44 in June. The 30-year-old has garnered a fierce reputation in as a dangerous KO artist having won all but one of his fights via KO/TKO. After going 8-0 as a professional he was snapped up by the UFC in 2012 and competed three times for the promotion including a pair of fights against Phil Davis. Since leaving the UFC he has went 6-1 including his win in his KSW debut.
Training out of the famous Allstars Training Center gym in Sweden comes the well-travelled Max Nunes. Having competed in the likes of Cage Rage, BAMMA, Abu Dhabi Warriors and Superior Challenge the 29-year-old himself is partial to finishing his opponents having registered a total of ten TKO/KO’s and five submission wins over the likes of Ion Pascu, Patrick Vallee, and Marcin Lazarz.
Having a combined finishing ratio of over 90% this clash is certainly a blink-and-could-miss-it type of fight with potential title implications. Not to be missed.
This fight joins a stacked card for KSW London that includes a heavyweight title fight between Phil De Fries and Karol Bedorf, a rematch between welterweight champion Dricus Du Plessis and Roberto Soldic, as well as the beginning of a four-man tournament between Michal Materla, Damian Janikowski, Scott Askham, and Marcin Wojcik to crown a new KSW middleweight champion.
And who can forget the unpredictable heavyweight collision between the infamous Popek Monster and bodybuilder & social media star Erko Jun.
