ZAGREB, 4 October 2019 – At KSW 51 two of Europe’s most exciting and promising light heavyweights will clash as Croatia’s Ivan Erslan (7-0) takes on Spain’s Darwin Rodriguez (9-4).

Ivan Erslan comes into KSW with an unblemished record and has notable wins over Bellator veteran Roger Carroll & Toni Markulev on the European scene. The 27-year-old has emerged as Croatia’s number one light heavyweight will be competing in front of his hometown crowd of Zagreb on November 9.
