Phil De Fries doesn’t get the spotlight often, but make no mistake — he’s one of the most dominant champs in MMA right now. Undefeated since 2015 and holding the KSW heavyweight crown since 2018, the guy’s been quietly running through anyone they put in front of him. With XTB KSW 107 around the corner, where he meets undefeated Polish striker Arek Wrzosek, now’s the time to revisit what’s made De Fries such a nightmare matchup.
This video pulls together some of his most dominant moments — top control masterclasses, gritty grind-outs, and those slow suffocating finishes that make you question ever fighting again. De Fries doesn’t flash — he drowns you.
Come June 14th at ERGO Arena, De Fries vs Wrzosek headlines a card with real stakes. Will the champ extend one of the longest title runs in Europe, or does the Wrzosek era start here? Either way, this is the fight to watch.
