Pasha took on Influencer and Bodybuilder Michal “OwcaWK” Owczarzak, and got through him with ease as he finished the bout in just 2 rounds. The fight isn’t your typical MMA fight but rather ‘dirty boxing formula with small gloves to MMA.’, according to the Polish Major winner. OwcaWk was also making his MMA debut with this fight and went toe to toe with pasha at the start.
In the first round, the battle was almost even as both showed signs of this being their debut fight. Towards the end though, pashaBiceps had a knockdown on his adversary Owca, which sent the bodybuilder stumbling.
After getting back in his groove, round two started and owca tried to be aggressive towards pasha. pashaBiceps was all too aware and was able to dodge and land a right hook on his face. He followed it up with multiple blows to his face and cornered him until the referee had to step in and declare submission to strikes.
