Marcin ‘The Polish Zombie’ Wrzosek may have only won the KSW featherweight title less than 48 hours ago, but he had already set his sights on conducting his first title defence against an old UFC foe.

Back in December 2015, Wrzosek faced Julian Erosa at the UFC’s TUF Finale 22 event in Las Vegas, Nevada.

That evening, the Pole was defeated by the American, nicknamed ‘Juicy-J’, via a close split decision.

Wrzosek has always maintained that the decision went the wrong way, but with the two fighters going their separate ways since that fight, there has never been a clear opportunity for a rematch.

Speaking out on his Facebook page today, ‘The Polish Zombie’ has laid down the gauntlet to his former TUF rival and offered him a shot at his newly won KSW featherweight title.

‘Julian ‘Juicy J’ Erosa you will be next,’ Wrzosek wrote on his Facebook fan page.



‘You know you didn’t win our last fight!

‘Come and see me on my playground where there are no bias judges to protect your ass.’

This post came after his coach, Lukas Zaborowski, suggested the rematch on Twitter and even tagged in the KSW CEO and owner, Martin Lewandowski.

Erosa is yet to respond, though he has recently set his sights elsewhere as he targets a rematch with Cage Warriors featherweight champion Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett.

Who knows if Erosa’s mind will have changed after this latest call out?
