Shamil Musaev, Uros Jurisic issued hefty fines for post-fight brawl at KSW 58

Shamil Musaev and Uros Jurisic have been fined a percentage of their KSW 58 fight purses for getting physical after their bout.

[autotag]Shamil Musaev[/autotag] and [autotag]Uros Jurisic[/autotag] have been issued fines by the KSW brass for the collective roles they played in the melee that occurred after their fight Jan. 30.

Following a solid and competitive three-round fight on the main card of KSW 58, Musaev (14-0) was declared the winner by unanimous decision to remain undefeated against Jurisic (11-1), who was handed his first professional loss.

Jurisic’s team showed some displeasure with the decision in the immediate aftermath, but just when it seemed cooler heads were about to prevail, Jurisic shoved his hands into the face of Musaev’s coach.

That prompted a reaction from Musaev, who went over over to Jurisic, said something, wrapped him up in a body lock and slammed him to the mat before unleashing a flurry of punches before security and team members could break them up.

After reviewing the tape of the incident from all angles, the KSW brass agreed Jurisic’s physicality with the coach was unwarranted, but Musaev’s slam was a clear escalator.

As a result, Musaev has been fined 50 percent of his purse, and his cornerman, KSW middleweight Abus Magomedo, has been “banned from fighting for six months and banned from cornering for 12 months,” per a statement from the promotion.

Jurisic, for his part, has been fined 30 percent of his fight purse for his role.

In addition, both men have had their “Fight of the Night” bonuses withheld by the organization.

And finally, according to the statement, “all the unauthorized persons, who entered the cage after the fight was over, are banned from taking part in the KSW events as members of fighters’ teams.”

KSW will not keep the money redeemed from the various fines to Musaev or Jurisic. Instead, it will be donated to the crowdfunding pages for a pair of sick young girls – Laura Paczuła and Pola Omielańczuk – the latter of which is the daughter of Polish MMA veteran Daniel Omielanczuk.

The statement from KSW ensured to note that the promotion “would like to emphasize that unsportsmanlike behavior and violations of the federation’s rules by the fighters or members of their teams is completely unacceptable.”

KSW 58 results: Daniel Torres claims featherweight title with first-round upset of Salahdine Parnasse

Daniel Torres’ scored a rather awkward knockout of Salahdine Parnasse to claim featherweight gold in the KSW 58 main event.

[autotag]Daniel Torres[/autotag] became the new KSW featherweight champion on Saturday, when he stopped [autotag]Salahdine Parnasse[/autotag] less than two minutes into the first round.

Torres’ (12-4) awkward right hook caught Parnasse (14-1-1) on the top of the head and put him down to spell an end to the contest, forcing a change of ownership with the 145-pound belt at the 1:49 mark of Round 1 in the KSW 58 main event.

KSW 58 took place at an undisclosed venue in Lodz, Poland and streamed via online pay-per-view.

After exchanging some blows early in the fight, Parnasse got slightly too aggressive coming in on Torres with a combination, and it cost him.

Torres looked to counter with a right hook, and as Parnasse ducked, the lower part of Torres’ bicep caught him on the side of the head and dropped Parnasse face-first to the canvas.

Parnasse, despite not being out cold, was unquestionably hurt by the glancing blow, and it was enough for the referee to jump in and stop the fight.

With that, Torres, who closed as a high as a +500 betting underdog, was deemed the new KSW featherweight champ, while Parnasse was stunned after taking his first career loss.

The scuffle continued, but eventually they were pulled apart and tempers fizzled. Check out what happened in the videos below (via Twitter):

The commentators said on the broadcast that there’s a high probability punishments would be issued to everyone involved from KSW promotors.

As of now, though, nothing has been announced in regard to the situation.

Nevertheless, it was a stain on Musaev’s victory in what was otherwise a solid performance from him against Jurisic.

Ex-UFC fighter Krzysztof Soszynski hoped to retire with KSW, happy to be commentating instead

Krzysztof Soszynski has recently embarked on a new chapter in his career as he gears up for his next commentary gig for KSW.

[autotag]Krzysztof Soszynski[/autotag] has recently embarked on a new chapter in his MMA career.

Soszynski, a former UFC fighter, has been immersed in various activities since announcing his retirement from competition in 2014. From acting to coaching to managing and now commentary, Soszynski is relishing his role as KSW’s new color commentator as he gears up for his next show on Saturday.

“(KSW CEO) Martin (Lewandowski) and I have been talking about doing things since retirement all the way back from UFC,” Soszynski told MMA Junkie. “I’ve always wanted to have my last fight in Poland, and we were talking once my retirement from the UFC happened, we were thinking about possibly doing one last fight, and unfortunately with the injuries and the stuff I sustained over my career, it just wasn’t able to happen.

“So I did a camp for KSW before, and over the last little while we’ve been talking about doing something and this opportunity came up, being one of the color commentators, and I jumped at the chance and we’re slowly getting there. I believe this is my fifth show now, and I’m getting better and better at this, I’m just having fun and enjoying the process.”

Soszynski joins Chris Hoekstra and Will Vanders on the commentary table and has enjoyed giving his insight as a former fighter. “The Ultimate Fighter 8” alum notched six wins during his career inside the UFC’s octagon, including notable finishes of Stephan Bonnar and Brian Stann.

But despite his vast experience in the cage, the man known as “The Polish Experiment” admits that commentary has been a learning process for him, as he slowly tries to re-familiarize himself with certain aspects of the game.

“I think it’s more of the technical terms of the moves and things like that,” Soszynski said. “I’m been away from the sport for such a long time – it’s been what, 10 years now things like that. I haven’t done anything like this in a very, very long time. Just getting adjusted with the technical terms for each position and things like that, but I’m very fortunate to be working with Will and Chris. Chris is the technical guy, I got Will as the energy guy, and I’m the guy who kind of gives you the inside scoop of what a fighter feels in terms of the situation, so we really work well together.”

Featuring a featherweight title fight between reigning champion Salahdine Parnasse (14-0-1) and challenger Daniel Torres (11-4), KSW 58 takes place Saturday in Lodz, Poland. The card streams at KSWTV.com.
