Mariusz Pudzianowski MMA debut fight??

Well assuming he knows about dehydrating etc before fights i cant see it ever being an issue tbh for instance lesner fights at nearly 290 but weighs in at 265 i think and let be honest he is the strongest man in the world so shouldnt matter if he loes a few pounds but will be interesting to see how his psyque changes minus the gear

From watching that video i am now even more convinced that he will be handed his arse on a plate. Condition is crap, technique is crap and he so fcuking slow

Check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ2pKBZyHjQ

This is his fight after 2 months treining  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ2pKBZyHjQ

Yeah, im not quite sure why people expected him to be good when it was his first fight.

People love guys like this to fail...anyone know why.....??

tbip2001

its usually "the bruce lee could kill an army" type person.

people just dont like to accept that strength and size has a large impact on fighting ability.

Lol, I was wondering if anyone else got where I was coming from. You are exactly right.
 
Alot of the guys who train in martial arts cannot stand to think they can be beaten by someone with little to no experience just through size and strength.
 
Its funny just how much they wanted brock to fail for example.
 
What I will say is, im not sure how serious mariuz is about the MMA though. Anyone know if this was just a curiosity match, or does he intend to make the switch??

6'6"- 270lbs - 19.5" arm

His next MMA  fight will be in april against 2 times Olympic Champion of JUDO - Pawel Nastula.
He is fighting in PRIDE.
P.S. To all sceptics- Mariusz had a flu infection and 39'C temperature during the fight(and still was awsome).The infection gets him 4 days before the fight, so he was very "week" during that fight.
And he will be still STRONGMAN competitor. Two weeks before the fight he won another strongman competision.
I think 1 year of treining with good MMA treiner and he will be good enough to fight against the best MMA FIGHTERS.

he certainly is a machine!!  but 1 year training against the best mma fighters!!

if were talking the likes of fedor, brock, mir, josh barnet, randy coutue, arlovski

then get real,,  he hasnt taken a shot yet.  just beat up on some guy whos never done any ground work!!  the best heavyweights will not be scared of him and will weather the storm and kill him no doubt. 

i could be totaly wrong but hes certainly an unknown entity for now!

id love to see him fight fedor that wd be a laugh

So you think MMA fighters dont use steroids? LOL!

Just goes to show, a man with little experience / knowledge of this combat sport can jump into the ring and batter someone.

Funny he choose mma and not boxing, in the boxing ring he would have got embarassed lol. His skills are PISS POOR!

I can assure you if his boxing opponent was as handpicked as his MMA opponent, he would batter them, too.

Nope course not Barnett and TS both got busted, winstrol use is common as is GH, though im guessing they wont run anywhere near as heavy cycles as strongmen. Also when fighting outisde the USA drug testing is minimal as it costs a fortune to do and really isnt that great for fighter cardio. Powerhouse mentioned this in his thread after his fight how he feels so much better not using.

Speydream you really are a tool if you think that Pudz wouldnt have just torn through a handpicked opponent in the boxing ring, whilst a skilled boxer would have taken him out a journeyman like his opponent would not.

Pudz has no boxing skills whatsoever, if he was put in the ring with even an inexperienced boxer, i guarantee he could easily leave puds gassed. His punches are slow, he doesnt have a jab and no defense.

If you havnt already watched his training video on youtube, go watch it. Everything I say is the truth.

Ive said it before and i'll say it again, mma = jack of all trades, master of none. Thats why so many inexperienced guys can just jump into the sport late on in their life. It doesnt happen in boxing.

Ok whatever you say matey.........

......... apart from actual fighting which is what most want to see.

he is crap , even if he landed one on you it wouldnt do any damage, . Power comes with technique and speed and he has neither .
 
 

TomB


holy hell he sucks!
no footwork, no cardio, no technique, no skill

absolute amateur i could literally run a ring round him i do it to guys that size all the time.

all i can say is if he landed one it would be goodnight though.

so slow, his trainer looks absolutely rubbish. he needs to work out the dynamics of boxing hes all arms, looks very uncomfortable :/ :/

Was funny to watch! I have a feeling he's gonna start breaking bones in future matches!

Prob his own bones!
In those clips he looks likes he has had five min prep talk awful tech and we wont mention gaurd

Everyone has been in shape,but not everyone is IN shape,its about where your going not where you have been.

jesus christ! its his first fight, he's come from strongman and has trained MMA for what? a limited amount of time im guessin... give him a break everyone FFS..

so f*ck if he has a sh1te technique, no cardio, and has a crap guard.. he won his first fight after training for it for a matter of months and after competing in WSM only a couple of months ago FFS..

those leg kicks were sick..

I watched the fight on live stream and the first thing I said once the fight ended, "fixed." I would bet money that fight was fixed, he didnt land **** but a few kicks and when he had him on the ground, it almost seemed like he didnt want to hit him properly. Load of ****e

Hahaha lets see one of you train for a few months then fight live in a contest that you know the whole world will watch!

he did what he had to do, he has made no claims that I am aware of that he considers himself great, yet you all rip into him!

As for somebody saying he has no power, maded me lol, yeah, of course he doesnt!

Whats that problem here ha ha

We know hes not making himself out to be a great , fair play to the lad for having a go .
I myself stated that his punches wouldnt hurt and i stand by that comment .
His punches have no speed or snap in them , therefor he wont have any power behind them . Anyone whos done a bit of boxing will agree with this .
Also im not saying hes got no strength at all , that would be a foolish thing to say .
Anyone stupid enough  to garapple with him would soon find out . The statement i made was just boxing related .

Prehap my GCSE physics is a little off but doesnt force = Mass*Acceleration? Regardless of weather his technique is not good or nor im pretty certain that A he will have alot of mass in his arm and B his acceleration maybe slow but given all his strong man training im also sure it will be quicker than you think and may just seem slower due to his enormous size. 

If you dont think his punch would hurt your kidding yourself a nearly 300lb bloke isnt going to tickle you with the strength and power that pudz. I agree that better technique will transalte into more power but **** me you would know about it if he hit you it would be like being clubbed as opposed to the short sharp punch of say a trained boxer.

Ok It would  hurt ., it deffo wouldnt tickle .
But hes got no technique so he will be lackin on power .
Also his physique isnt gonna help him in his boxing training ie picking up technique and skills .

you'd have to be a slug to get hit by him!!  agree his punches look pretty empty!!  but anyone that big if they land is gonna put u out

dont care about having a dig, he just didnt really land anything and his movement was rubbish amongst everything else.

kinda of like a joke...

id say the same thing about any fighter, mariusz is a great strongman but he knows jack about MMA and has showed this amazingly.

Ok, so heres a question...not just to you, but to all the guys who have slated him after his first fight...
 
What would you like him to do? He has 'no technique', 'no power', 'no movement' etc ect, so I assume you believe he should give up now?
 
Serious question, I would like to know the answer

If true then he will have a 1-1 record soon.

really?? he showed he knew nothin about MMA after only training for it properly for a matter of months??? SHOCK HORROR.. jesus christ!
he wins a fight, with minimal specific MMA training, whilst also competing in strongman and he gets slated cos he isnt a great fighter!! yep, he should just give up now.. :-(

Foreman had good technique and handspeed.
 
Hopefully I read this correctly and am not looking at someone using Foreman as an example in a debate about Puds complete lack of ability.

Kicks like a girl and punches like hes banging the table... Absolute fanny but with size, anone half decent will annihilate him imo.

Anyone quarter decent.

I think even someone like Kimbo Slice would batter him.

yeh i agree someone like kimbo would beat him.. quite easily probably..
end of the day tho, he isnt an MMA fighter, hes a strongman.. so he should get 'some' props.. :-)
its like throwin lance armstrong in a UTD shirt and saying he's ****!

silverback slow??? sloppy, unskilled??
 
they get to around 510 lbs and and are extremely fast far from sloppy,lol.
 
with out speed and sharpness his punces would be more like a push. once speed and sharpness are there tecnique will use his weight to get more power in the shots.
best for him to do a take down then pull some limbs of.

You did.
Foreman had decent technique and a good jab but far from great handspeed.  He was a clubbing, scything puncher and generated great power mostly from planting his feet and getting his weight behind a punch.  The OP used lack of handspeed and snap as to why there'd be no power in Pudz's punches.  Yet Foreman could take your head off without it because he had technique, something Pudz doesn't, but that can be learned.  An arm punch from someone as strong as Pudz will be enough to KO a lot of fighters, especially in 4oz gloves.
This is MMA anyway, and not boxing.  Pudz is clearly out to bulldoze anyone in front of him, and until he gasses, which I'd bet is before the end of the first round, the fact he can grab and punch or grab and take down that matters, not his boxing technique which at the moment, is pretty much non- existent.

So many predictions based on 30 seconds of one sided brawling. You must all have better eyes than me, I must admit I learned very little from that fight lol

As said in the other thread, it's no surprise he won, it will be interesting to see what happens if he's put in against some actual mixed martial artists in the future though

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I do wish he'd stuck to strongman TBH! Why go from the very top of your sport to maybe being "ok" at another sport? Seems odd to me, but the guy has put in the years in strongman so I guess if he wants a change he's entitled to it. I hope he does well in future

you cant compare him to a boxer as he isnt boxing!!!!

This is mma, real fighting. yes somebody GREAT may beat him, but lets be honest, hes an amateur!!!!!

he is the equivalent in mma to any other rank beginner for crying out loud, watch some of todays top fighters and they were all at this stage at one time.

Bloody hell, Josh Koschck entered the UFC with no striking ability whatsoever, now he is practically a title contender!

Some retarded comments in thsi thread from "experts" no doubt.
