After rattling off six straight wins in his post-Octagon endeavors, McCorkle (16-5) finds himself mired in a three-fight slump, having last seen action in a losing effort to Satoshi Ishii at IGF: "Genome 24" back in February.

Pudzianowski (5-2) is a staple in KSW after rising to fame as the "World's Strongest Man." He's coming off back-to-back technical knockout wins over Bob Sapp (lolz) and Christos Pilifas.

Should be interesting...

KSW 23 is headlined by a middleweight fight between Melvin Manhoef vs. Mamed Khalidov. Former UFC 185-pound standout Kendall Grove is also expected to see action.
