Former Hearts defender takes up MMA and WINS first fight despite just 24 hours to prepare

'What is Blazej Augustyn, who made 22 appearances for Hearts in 2015/16, up to these days?' It probably wasn't the question on your mind when you woke up this morning, but we're giving you the answer anyway.

He's a cage fighter, and by the looks of things, a pretty good one at that. The Polish centre-back hasn't officially retired from playing but his days of kicking a ball are coming to an end as he turns out for lower league outfit WKS Wierzbice in his homeland.

He spends more time kicking people in the head these days and picked up his first professional MMA win at a Clout MMA event this weekend - despite being given just 24 hours to prepare.

Augustyn is a known hard man and in 2020 he was linked with a fight against former Leicester defender Marcin Wasilewski that ultimately didn't come to pass.
