Mixed martial arts career
After immigrating to the United States from Poland with his family, Palaszewski was unsure about what he wanted to do in life. He trained whilst working as a photographer and graphic designer and holding other computer-related jobs. Then, after seeing his first MMA event at a show in McHenry, Illinois, Palaszewski was hooked.[2] He lost his first four professional fights.
