Not even KSW 37 could pass without a Conor McGregor reference.

After winning the KSW featherweight title on Saturday night, Marcin 'The Polish Zombie' Wrzosek scaled the KSW cage just as his former The Ultimate Fighter coach Conor McGregor did four weeks ago at Madison Square Garden.

'The Polish Zombie' may have only had the one belt to hold aloft, but it was still a great visual as the Polish fighter basked in the glory of an epic performance in front of 18,000 fans at the Tauron Arena in Krakow.

Wrzosek put in an impeccable performance on the night and defeated former champion Artur Sowinski via TKO (doctor stoppage) after two minutes and fifty-five seconds of the second round.

This was Wrzosek's second straight win since being defeated by Julian Erosa at the TUF 22 finale in 2015 and no doubt the biggest of his career too date.

Speaking briefly to Flocombat after the fight, Wrzosek was happy that he'd lived up to all his pre-fight promises and that he was taking the belt home to his SHARK Top Team teammates in Lodz, Poland.

"I said before that I promised to win the belt and I did," Wrzosek said. "To all my training partners, friends, relatives, coaches, sponsors and everyone that believed in me I couldn't have done it without you.

"So, there it is. As I said, I told you that I'd die before I lose this fight and I did.

After thanking the new KSW featherweight champion for his time, it seemed to finally strike him that he was the new champion.

"That sounds pretty f***ing good," he said with a smile on his face."
