Tomasz Marciniak Joins Press Row

---

Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by Sherdog.com contributor Tomasz Marciniak.

UFC 185 this weekend in Dallas features the first UFC women's strawweight title defense, which also doubles as the biggest fight in Polish MMA history, as unbeaten challenger Joanna Jedrzejczyk takes on Carla Esparza. Breen and Marciniak discuss the Jedrzejczyk-Esparza style match, Jedrzejcyk as a challenger and potential champion, her underrated media skills and the wide-open nature of the UFC's 115-pound women's division.

Breen and the KSW color commentator also weigh in on the reaction to the UFC's Polish debut, as well as Poland's other top strawweight fighter, undefeated Karolina Kowalkiewicz, whether or not her success in KSW and Invicta FC will lead to a UFC deal and why Poland has a such strong, unique domestic MMA scene. Also up for discussion: why former “World's Strongest Man” Mariusz Pudzianowski is the perfect symbol for Polish MMA and “Pudzian's” taste in strategy-based board games.
