In Poland, rappers with tattoos on their eyeballs like to fight bodybuilders…
KSW 39 ‘Colosseum’ went off in Stadion PGE Narodowy in Warsaw, Poland, last night. Widely known for their outlandish matchmaking and high quality promotional videos, ‘Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki’ are making a name for themselves.
As well as infamous strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski, KSW houses ex-bodybuilder Robert Burneika, rapper with tattooed eyeballs ‘Popek Monster,’ and UFC veteran Norman Parke. All three were fighting last night in Poland.
Popek vs. Burneika
Although he lost by knockout against Pudzianowski in his last fight, Popek wanted to test himself against another massive bodybuilder. Facing Robert Burneika at KSW 39, Monster got his win.
Defeating Burneika after just 45 seconds, Popek was able to drop his man and wallop the fallen bodybuilder with a barrage of strikes.

That wasn’t the only crazy match of the night, though. UFC veteran Norman Parke had a lightweight title shot against Mateusz Gamrot, and it was very controversial.

There’s still more! In a heavyweight title fight between Marcin Różalski and Fernando Rodrigues, there was one heck of a knockout finish. Watch as Rodrigues kisses canvas from a big punch to the jaw:
