Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by former Sherdog contributor and KSW color commentator Tomasz Marciniak

Breen and Marciniak discuss last Saturday's epic KSW 39 “Colosseum” card that put nearly 58,000 fans in PGE Narodowy in Warsaw, how KSW came to create such a historic, landmark MMA event, and the surprising cleverness of the promotion's “freakshow” matchmaking. The two also dig into the lost-in-translation misconceptions of popular KSW draws likw Mariusz Pudzianowski and Marcin Rozalski as well as the outsider's view of Poland's rich-but-strange contributions to MMA.

The pair also break down the controversial KSW 39 main event between promotional middleweight champ Mamed Khalidov and 170-pound titlist Borys Mankowski and what is next for the 36-year-old free agent Khalidov. As well, with UFC 212 on deck this Saturday, the two also talk on Karolina Kowalkiewicz's public persona, unsung fight style and chances against strawweight No. 2 Claudia Gadelha.

Grab your credential and get a seat in “Press Row.”
