Who is Kamil “King Kong” Minda?

Heavyweight from Ełk with a late start

Kamil Minda is a Polish heavyweight who started his professional MMA journey relatively late – he debuted in 2017 at age 33. He comes from Ełk and combines fighting with a career as a professional soldier.

According to ZawódTyper and Tapology, his MMA record stands at 8-4-0, with a very high finishing rate.

He has competed in:

• FEN,

• OKTAGON MMA,

• RFA,

• Wotore,

• and multiple freak-fight organisations.

King Kong’s style – raw power and pressure

Physically, Minda is a classic big heavyweight:

• about 188 cm / 6'2" tall,

• weighing around 125 kg,

• with huge natural strength and heavy hands.

Stats show that:

• 5 of his 8 MMA wins came by KO/TKO,

• he also has a submission win,

• and he’s known for ending fights early.

In the freak-fight universe, he became known through:

• bare-knuckle and K-1 fights,

• intense matchups in Clout MMA,

• his run in FAME MMA, including the heavyweight tournament at FAME 26 (loss after a solid showing versus Don Diego),

• and the controversial fight at FAME 27 against Bartosz Szachta, where he was disqualified for illegal follow-up strikes after knockdowns.

Minda & FAME MMA – rising visibility

In 2025 Minda officially signed with FAME. After his appearances at FAME 26 and FAME 27, he now gets the biggest match-up of his freak-fight career: a no-time-limit MMA bout with former teammate Michał Pasternak at FAME 28.

Former teammates, new enemies – how the conflict started

Both Pasternak and Minda trained for years under the same roof – they are linked to Akademia Sportów Walki Wilanów, one of Poland’s well-known MMA gyms.

According to detailed features about both fighters, the tension between them escalated around FAME 27, after Minda’s fight with Bartosz Szachta. Emotions ran high, words were exchanged, and what used to be a gym friendship turned into a public rivalry. FAME decided to capitalize on this and officially booked Pasternak vs Minda for FAME 28.

So this is not just random matchmaking – it’s a grudge match between former training partners who know each other extremely well.

No-time-limit MMA – what does it really mean?

Their bout at FAME MMA 28 will be held:

• under full MMA rules,

• with no time limit – the fight continues until someone is finished, submits or the referee stops it.

In practice this means:

• no three-round safety net,

• no “winning on points” by just surviving,

• pure test of endurance, strategy and willpower.

Advantages in such a format usually go to:

• fighters with better cardio,

• those who can control pace and positions,

• experienced grapplers who can slowly wear an opponent down and eventually finish them.

For Michał – with his long MMA and grappling background – this could be the perfect rule set. For Minda – whose main weapon is explosive power – it means he must either finish early or be ready for a very long, grinding battle.

Stylistic breakdown – Wampir vs King Kong

Michał Pasternak – advantages

• Experience: dozens of fights in different settings, from traditional MMA to bare-knuckle Wotore and high-pressure FAME main events.

• Versatility: comfortable in striking, clinch and on the ground; can adjust to what the fight brings.

• Durability & grit: proven in many wars; not someone who folds after one bad exchange.

• Experience with heavier opponents: he has already dealt with big, powerful rivals like Don Diego or Labryga.

Kamil Minda – advantages

• Size and power: natural heavyweight with serious knockout force.

• High finishing rate: the majority of his wins come by KO/TKO.

• Experience across rough formats: Wotore, K-1 in small gloves, Clout and FAME – he is used to chaos.

• Motivation to redeem himself: after the disqualification at FAME 27 and criticism that followed, beating Pasternak is his chance to rewrite the story.

Keys to victory

• For Michał: survive the initial storm, drag the fight into longer sequences, impose clinch and grappling, force King Kong to work and tire.

• For Kamil: start fast, land big shots early, use his size and weight to make every exchange count before fatigue sets in.

• For fans: expect a fight where both tension and stakes rise with every passing minute – because there is no clock to save anyone.
