KSW 111 Primer: De Fries vs. Vojčák Headlines a Two-Title Night in Třinec
The Central European MMA scene gets a blockbuster this weekend as KSW returns with KSW 111: De Fries vs. Vojčák, a loaded card topped by two title fights and a raft of compelling stylistic clashes. Long-reigning heavyweight king Phil De Fries meets surging challenger Stefan Vojčák, while a second strap is on the line lower on the marquee. If you’re tracking storylines, rankings momentum, and regional bragging rights, this Czech/Polish showcase checks every box.
For the headliner, the narrative writes itself: champion vs. destroyer. The division’s standard-bearer collides with a fresh threat when De Fries defends against “HITMAN” Vojčák (De Fries vs. Vojčák). Vojčák’s cold-blooded finishing aura has made this one feel bigger by the day—KSW even framed the Slovak as a man on a mission to dethrone the “undefeated” ruler in their realm-spanning reign tease.
Highly Dangerous Individual 🫵🏻 HITMAN Stefan Vojčák is aiming for his life mission – to defeat the undefeated 👑 @phildefriesmma and become the first 🇨🇿🇸🇰 in history to win the KSW champion belt 👊🏻

Co-headliner heat and card gems to watch
The co-main delivers championship stakes as Rafał Haratyk vs. Bartosz Leśko renews a simmering domestic rivalry with gold implications. Haratyk’s grinding top game meets Leśko’s measured, distance-first kickboxing—expect feints, cage pivots, and long exchanges broken up by level changes.
Depth is where KSW 111 truly shines. The middleweight clash Kurek vs. Dudek pits an unbeaten climber against a spoiler with knockout upside. In the welterweight lane, the matchup between Karolczyk vs. Machmudov has sneaky “Fight of the Night” potential, while Juráček vs. Pawlik should be a positional chess match for the purists. Featherweights get a showcase with Brichta vs. Martins, and the women’s flyweight tilt Grzyb vs. Vaňková adds high-pace striking to the mix.
On the prelims, keep an eye on slick bantamweight action in Rocher-Labes vs. Le, plus a Czech derby at featherweight with Mašek vs. Zoula. Heavyweight prospects collide when Górniak vs. Paczóski hits the cage—an explosive closer to the early slate.
