Fighters Only (great site, great magazine!) have recently had an interview with Mariusz Pudzianowski and they had some probing questions for him. I won’t ruin the whole interview you can read that at the Fighters Only site but here are some of my favourite parts:

“Butterbean, you said that Pudzian hits like a girl. Come to Poland and I’ll show you how Polish girls hit!”

“After your last fight in the States you promised to be back in the ring and that the fans will see a different Pudzian. Please tell us what changes we can expect.

You’ll see a much leaner and fifteen kilograms lighter Pudzian. When I started MMA trainings I weighed one hundred and thirty-eight kilograms, now it’s only one hundred and eighteen. I’m smaller, but much faster.“

Mariusz Pudzianowski vs Butterbean to be fought in Poland. So after all that chat from ol’ Butterbean it looks like KSW have taken him up on the offer and have gone and secured the bout for KSW 14, which will be held on the 18th September in Lodz Atlas Arena. Butterbean, real name Eric Esch recently decided to comment on Pudzianowski’s MMA calibre. An interesting move considering he is an exec at Moosin who featured Pudzianowski vs Sylvia and happily cashed in on his Polish appeal. Butterbean commented that “Pudzianowski has no stand-up and as strong as he is, he punches like a girl.” – That’s fair enough really as anyone who has seen the fight can see the punches thrown are weak as.
