Marcin Prachnio (born July 14, 1988) is a Polish mixed martial artist currently competing in the Light Heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional mixed martial artist since 2013, Prachnio has also competed in ONE Championship and Final Fight Championship.

Background

[edit]

After three years of requesting his parents for permission, Prachnio started training karate at the age of 12.[2] Eventually he became multiple-time Polish champion in kyokushin karate and placed second in European championships.[2] Seeking for new challenges, Prachnio moved to Amsterdam in 2013 in order to transition to mixed martial arts.

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Prachnio started his professional mixed martial arts career in 2013, competing solely in European regional circuit. He fought multiple times in Final Fight Championship promotion, eventually racking up a 9–2 record and claiming the promotion's Light Heavyweight Championship in the process.[3] Prachnio decided to drop to middleweight and not defend his title, leading the title to be vacated.[3]

ONE Championship

[edit]

After claiming and vacating the Final Fight Championship title, Prachnio signed with the ONE Championship in 2016. Despite previous intentions to drop down to middleweight, he made his promotional debut in heavyweight division against Alexandre Machado at ONE: Tribe of Warriors on February 20, 2016. He won the bout via knockout in the first round.[4]

Prachnio was scheduled to face Vitaly Bigdash for the ONE Middleweight World Championship bout on January 14, 2017, at ONE: Quest for Power.[5] However, Prachnio was forced to withdraw due to injury and was replaced by Aung La Nsang.[6]

He amassed an undefeated 4–0 run in the promotion and was in the title contention before signing with the UFC.[7]
