Another chapter was needed in one of Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki’s most compelling rivalries.
As Wiklacz and Przybysz prepare to complete their tetralogy at 135 pounds, a look at some of the numbers that have accompanied them to this point:
27: Years of age for Wiklacz, who was born in Olsztyn, Poland, on Sept. 10, 1996.
9: Wiklacz victories by submission, accounting for 64% of his career total (14). His methods of choice: four guillotine chokes, two rear-naked chokes, two triangle chokes and one armbar. Wiklacz holds five other victories by decision (36%).
58: Seconds needed for Wiklacz to dismiss Nickolas Kosmel with an armbar at a Fighters Arena show on June 8, 2014. More than nine years later, it remains his fastest finish to date.
37: Rounds completed by Wiklacz as a professional mixed martial artist. He has gone the distance on six different occasions and carries a 5-0-1 record in those bouts.
.706: Cumulative winning percentage between the three opponents—Przybysz, Dukvaha Astamirov and Dawid Gralka—who have beaten Wiklacz. They boast a combined record of 24-10.
30: Years of age for Przybysz, who was born on July 28, 1993 in Gdansk, Poland.
5: Przybysz wins by knockout or technical knockout, accounting for 42% of his career total (12). His list of KSW victims: Wiklacz, Gralka, Filip Macek and Bogdan Barbu. Przybysz owns four other wins by submission (33%) and three more by decision (25%).
1,477: Days between setbacks for Przybysz. He dropped a unanimous verdict to Antun Racic at KSW 46 on Dec. 1, 2018 and did not lose again until he wound up on the wrong side of a split decision against Wiklacz at KSW 77 on Dec. 17, 2022.
8: Consecutive calendar years in which Przybysz has fought at least once. In addition to his 2-0 mark in 2023, he has gone 2-0 in 2016, 1-1 in 2017, 1-1 in 2018, 2-0 in 2019, 1-0 in 2020, 2-0 in 2021 and 1-1 in 2022.
