One time Cage Warriors title challenger Mohsen Barari has agreed to step in as a late replacement for Michail Tsarev at KSW 30 meeting Borys Mankowski in the main event on just 3 days notice.

One of Europe's leading MMA promotions, KSW 30th numbered show takes place tomorrow evening at Arena Poznań, in Poznań, Poland. Fans in the UK can watch the show live via online pay-per-view. The event begins at 18.00 GMT and can be purchased from www.kswtv.com for just £4.

Originally scheduled to defend his welterweight title against Michail Tsarev, Mankowski will now face Norway's Mohsen Bahari due to Tsarev falling ill upon arrival in Poland where he was not cleared by doctors. The bout will take place at a catchweight of 176lb.

A pro since 2008, Mankowski has put together a 16-5 record beating a slew of Europe's finest welterweight on route to capturing the KSW welterweight title. The 25-year-old has won 6 of his last 7 fights with his only loss during his current run coming by leg injury. The Polish star holds a split decision victory - later overturned by promoter and declared a draw, over current UFC welterweight Peter Sobatta.

Fighting for the first time since his loss to Nicolas Dalby for the Cage Warriors welterweight title at Cage Warriors 74, Mohsen Bahari is one of Scandinavia's finest prospects. A 5 fight Cage Warrior vet, The Frontline Academy fighter was ridding a 3 fight win streak which included wins over UFC vet Benny Alloway before loss to Dalby. He enters the bout with a 8-2 record with 3 KO/TKO victories and 3 submissions.
