Confusion over the MMA-VIP 4 gala organized by Marcin Najman It started over two weeks ago when at a conference the gangster Andrzej Z., better known as “Słowik” was introduced as the ambassador of the event – one of the bosses of the Pruszków mafia, who is still charged with charges (he was released in December last year after paying a bail of 200,000 zlotys).
He protested the strongest against the cooperation of MMA-VIP 4 with “Słowik” Krzysztof Stanowski, head of Grupa Weszło and one of the main creators of Kanał Sportowy. On Twitter encouraged companies sponsoring the events to withdraw from it, the involvement of “Słowik” to promote the gala strongly criticized in his program “Journalism zero” (this episode currently has over 3 million plays and a record number of “hands up” in the history of the Sports Channel – currently approx. 270 thousand).
Consequently, Kielce withdrew from renting the gala for MMA-VIP 4, and the city authorities of Pruszków did not agree to such cooperation.
Stanowski talked to the mayor of Wieluń
Last week, Marcin Najman informed that the gala would be held in Wieluń. Krzysztof Stanowski encouraged the city authorities to withdraw from this, and some politicians commented similarly, including Law and Justice deputy Joanna Lichocka. Several famous sportsmen declared that if Wieluń refused to rent a hall for MMA-VIP 4, they would organize events in the city with their participation.
On the other hand, the mayor of the city, Paweł Okrasa, recorded a statement in which he explained that the contract with the organizer of MMA-VIP 4 was signed by the municipal sports center. He relied on Roman law, the necessity to comply with concluded contracts and economic freedom. He stressed that “Słowik” had been imprisoned for the crimes he had proven, and according to the Christian principle, others should be forgiven for their sins.
Okrasa criticized Krzysztof Stanowski’s comments on the matter, suggesting that the journalist might collude with Marcin Najman to broadcast MMA-VIP 4. He invited him to visit the city.
Stanowski accepted the invitation on Wednesday. During a 40-minute conversation at the city hall, he tried to dissuade Paweł Okrasa from cooperating with MMA-VIP 4. He proposed to organize an event at the same time in the city hall with free admission for residents, where the stars will be the former volleyball player Marcin Możdżonek, former basketball player Marcin Gortat and science journalist Tomasz Rożek (all of them previously declared it in social media). At the same time, he raised the rate for renting the hall, finally offering 30 thousand. PLN (the MMA-VIP 4 organizer is to pay PLN 10,000).
Okrasa remained adamant, repeating his arguments from the earlier recording. He argued that Wieluń would gain publicity around this case. He admitted that he did not know earlier that there were still charges against “Słowik”. He did not mind Krzysztof Stanowski’s ideas to rent a city hall for a pedophile rally or an event about the stupidest mayors and mayors of cities.
Paweł Okrasa pointed out that the inhabitants of Wieluń may have a different opinion on this matter, which will translate into their votes in the next local elections.
Najman accused Kanał Sportowy of cooperation with Gromda
During the conversation with the mayor of Wieluń, Krzysztof Stanowski met with Marcin Najman. In front of the entrance to the city hall Najman emphasized that Mariusz Grabowski, the head of the Gromda Federation, had a legally valid sentence on his account (Kanał Sportowy promotes Gromda because Mateusz Borek is closely associated with it).
Stanowski explained that such a sentence is a matter of a much smaller caliber than the crimes committed by “Słowik”. The journalist included this in his account of his visit to Wieluń (the conversation with Najman starts at the seventh minute).
The unusual situation occurred right after the interview: Paweł Okrasa tried to shake hands with Krzysztof Stanowski and Marcin Najman. Stanowski did not want it, and the mayor stood in the door and persuaded him to shake Najman’s hand.

A dispute between Stanowski and Najman for two years
Krzysztof Stanowski and Marcin Najman have been in conflict since 2020. It started with Stanowski mocking the gala with Najman, then they criticized each other on social media. Najman called Stanowski “journalistic zero” many times, which gave the program its name.
Fragments of Marcin Najman’s statements from the Hejt Park edition shown in spring 2020 are played as jingles. During the discussion, Najman poured a drink over Stanowski. The episode is by far the most popular material on the Sports Channel, with over 7 million plays so far.
In the fall of 2020, Stanowski laughed at the campaign to defend the monastery in Częstochowa announced by Najman after some of the temples were raided during protests after the Constitutional Court’s abortion ruling. The former MMA fighter challenged the journalist to a fight, and then reported on social media that he did not appear in the designated place.
Parts of this account quickly became memes. A year ago, Marcin Najman donated the characteristic jacket he was wearing at the time to the auction of the Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy. By the way, the Tyskie brand, as part of the “Let’s go to you” campaign, arranged a meeting between Najman and Stanowski over a beer.
