Tom Breese revealed it would be an ‘honour’ to fight at KSW’s Colosseum 2 after returning to winning ways in emphatic style against Bartosz Lesko.
Breese endured a TKO defeat at the hands of Pawel Pawlak last November and was intent on putting things right in Lubin.
The former UFC contender took on Lesko in the co-main event of KSW 80 and earned a first round submission victory.
After the fight, the 31-year-old said: "I've been fighting very consistently. Because I've been fighting consistently, I feel at home."
He added: "After the last bout, I was very motivated to push hard in training. I trained really really hard for this."
Speaking in KSW's backstage interview, the Birmingham MMA star added: "When I clinched up with him, I felt I had the strength advantage.
"I was trying to be efficient. I'm a bit disappointed I gave up the takedown like that, but it switched me on.
"I feel very calm about it. I felt calm before. Obviously, the more time I get in there, the more it's going to improve me. It was a short practice tonight."
KSW have two more events before June's 'Colosseum 2' which will take place at Warsaw's PGE Narodowy stadium.
More than 50,000 fans are expected to attend the show, with Breese admitting he would like to feature on KSW's biggest card of the year.
He said: "It would be an honour to fight in the Colosseum. I feel like I'm maybe KSW's most active fighter. I've been stepping up, showing up consistently. It would be an honour to fight in June at the Colosseum."
