KSW 77’s Ivan Erslan: ‘I’m a Different Fighter Now’

Ahead of his light heavyweight championship clash with Ibragim Chuzhigaev, Ivan Erslan (12-1-1, 3-1 KSW) spoke with Sherdog about the changes in his life since his first title shot at KSW 56 in November 2020. On that occasion, he lost due to a rear-naked choke to the then-titleholder Tomasz Narkun. More than two years have passed since then, and now Erslan feels like a completely different fighter after moving to train at American Top Team.
