Mixed martial arts career
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Drwal lost his UFC debut against Thiago Silva at UFC 75 on September 8, 2007.
Drwal returned to action after knee surgery at UFC 93 in January 2009 and defeated the debuting Ivan Serati via KO in the first round.
Drwal next fight was a first-round TKO over Mike Ciesnolevicz on the TUF 9 Finale on June 20, 2009 (a replacement for injured Eric Schafer).
Moving down to Middleweight, Drwal defeated Drew McFedries at UFC 103 in the second round by rear-naked choke submission.
Drwal faced Rousimar Palhares on March 27, 2010 at UFC 111, losing after an early slip via heel hook submission which appeared to injure Drwal. Palhares was subsequently suspended for 90 days for continuing to apply pressure to the lock after the referee intervened.
Drwal then fought David Branch on September 15, 2010 at UFC Fight Night 22. Drwal was initially set to fight Nick Catone who had to withdraw from the fight due to injury. He lost the fight via unanimous decision. Following two subsequent losses, Drwal was released from his UFC contract.
Post-UFC
Drwal returned to his winning ways knocking out Leonardo Lucio Nascimento at FAŁ 2 in his native Poland. His next fights were for new Polish promotion called MMA Attack, in which to this point he had two fights, against Gary Padilla and Wes Swofford, and all of them he won, respectively by unanimous decision and submission via armbar in 1st round.
Tomasz faced Łukasz Bieńkowski at KSW 53: Reborn. He won the fight via second round TKO.
Drwal faced Patrik Kincl on December 19, 2020 at KSW 57: De Fries vs. Kita. He lost the fight after getting knocked unconscious at the end of round 1.
Professional boxing
Drwal made his professional boxing debut on November 4, 2017 against Brazilian MMA fighter Luiz Abdalla in a 194 lbs bout. Drwal won via knockout.
