Former UFC fighter Norman Parke is set for arguably his biggest ever challenge this weekend as he contests for a lightweight world title fight in a 50,000-seater stadium in the lion's den against an undefeated champion.
Parke (23-5-1) will take on Mateusz Gamrot (12-0) for the KSW lightweight crown on May 27th in Poland. It's a must-see event for fans of the TUF: Smashes winner as he recently dropped the bombshell that it could be his swansong bout in the sport.
If their tense weigh-ins were anything to go by, this one promises to be a fiery affair.

Unsurprisingly, they don't look any less insane once flexed.
