KSW 79 video: Phil De Fries, Todd Duffee set stage for heavyweight title rematch
KSW 79 takes place Saturday, Feb. 25 at Home Credit Arena in Liberec, Czech Republic, which marks the return of UFC veteran Todd Duffee as he gets set for a rematch with heavyweight champion Phil De Fries.
The two big men first met way back in December 2012 at UFC 155, where Duffee (9-3) handed De Fries (22-6) a brutal defeat by first-round TKO. Things have changed drastically since then, with 36-year-old De Fries riding a 10-fight winning streak and going for his eighth consecutive title defense, while Duffee, 37, is coming out of retirement to compete for the first time in three-and-a-half years.
You can watch the trailer for KSW 79 in the video above as both men talk about their past encounter, what’s different now, revenge, and more.
“Knock him out cold, just for that sweet revenge feeling,” De Fries said. “That would be perfect.”
Added Duffee: “Phil’s best side is he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win even though that means being the most boring guy in the room. I’m gonna make the KSW heavyweight division exciting again.”
