This Saturday night, at the aptly named KSW 53: Reborn event in Warsaw, Poland, we will see the return of Polish MMA legend Tomasz ‘Gorilla’ Drwal (21-5-1) after five years away from the action.
The 38-year-old is a pioneer in this part of the world and was the first Polish fighter to compete in the UFC paving the way for future fighters from Poland. While in the UFC, Drwal scored three stoppages victories in a row including a ‘Knockout of the Night’ bonus for his win over Mike Ciesnoleveicz. Following his departure from the UFC in late 2010 he won four straight fights before making his first and only appearance in KSW against fellow legend Michal Materla in the main event of KSW 31.
