Salahdine Parnasse Stops Marcin Held to Retain KSW Lightweight Title at Season-Opening KSW 114

The season opener in Radom highlighted Parnasse's choice to stay with KSW over a potential UFC move.

Overview

  • Parnasse finished Held in round two via TKO after a crippling body shot sent the challenger to the canvas followed by unanswered strikes.
  • Coverage confirms a second-round stoppage but lists conflicting times, citing either 3:55 of the frame or about 65 seconds into the round.
  • KSW 114 was held at Radomskie Centrum Sportu in Radom, Poland on January 17, 2026 as the promotion launched its 2026 campaign.
  • The reigning double-champion kept his lightweight belt after recently re-signing with KSW rather than pursuing a UFC deal.
  • Elsewhere on the card, Arkadiusz Wrzosek knocked out Szymon Bajor with a second-round knee and Wiktoria Czyżewska stopped Tamires Vidal in the first.
