Rivals Mamed Khalidov and Scott Askham are set to meet for a third time again on a huge KSW stage.
The Polish MMA promotion recently announced that the pair will headline the upcoming Colosseum 2 event on June 3.
Both middleweights has one win each going into the arguably biggest trilogy fight in KSW history.
Askham won the first fight via unanimous decision in December 2019. Khalidov was able to avenge the loss just 10 months later with a first-round switch kick KO at KSW 55.
Khalidov most recently competed at KSW 77 this past September, where he defeated Mariusz Pudzianowski by first-round TKO, while Askham has been out of the cage since his second clash with Khalidov back in 2020, due to a back injury.
The final chapter in their story will be written on the grandest stage of them all….
