The KSW 122 middleweight title fight in Rzeszów, scheduled for October 10, has come under scrutiny. Initially, the event was set to feature champion Adrian Bartosiński defending his belt against the undefeated Adam Masaev.

However, speculation regarding the fight's status emerged following a cryptic Instagram post by Bartosiński’s manager, Łukasz Orzeł. Orzeł wrote, “A balloon pumped too quickly bursts before it can fly,” leading to rumors that the matchup may be in jeopardy. While no official cause for a potential cancellation, such as injury, has been confirmed, potential replacements like Tymoteusz Łopaczyk have been discussed in the event of a withdrawal.
