KSW to Deduct One Point for Fighters Who Miss Weight, Starting at KSW 113

The policy imposes a competitive sanction beyond fines for misses during the Friday morning weigh-in window.

Overview

  • The rule takes effect on Dec. 20 at XTB KSW 113 in Łódź, Poland.
  • Any fighter over the limit at the morning weigh-ins, including the extra hour, will begin round one with a one-point deduction.
  • The deduction is applied in addition to existing financial penalties for missing weight.
  • The move echoes a 2013 policy in Brazil’s Jungle Fight, which also used point deductions to deter weight misses.
  • KSW 113 is scheduled to feature title bouts between Paweł Pawlak and Laïd Zerhouni and between Adrian Bartosinski and Muslim Tulshaev.
