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.
Martin Lewandowski, co-owner of the federation KSW, has come out in response to comments made by Butterbean, Eric Esch regarding the fighting abilities of Mariusz Pudzianowski. Lewandowski states:
“I don’t understand the reasoning behind Esch’s statements. One would think it’s just a publicity stunt. However, if Butterbean is really interested in this bout, we can seriously consider it. But in order to do that, we need more precise declarations from Esch.
’Butterbean’ is an MMA superstar in the USA. Mariusz would have to deal with an extremely experienced opponent, who’s also an uncompromising competitor in the ring. His fighting style is very brutal and aggressive. If Mariusz improves his conditioning — I know he is working on it with professionals — this fight could end up being an unforgettable show for all KSW fans. Once both sides express interest in the fight, KSW Federation will try to book this bout.”
Lewandowski also states that, as a representative of Moosin, Esch was happy to use Pudzianowski to pull in the Polish audience. So who do you think would win between Butterbean and Pudzian? Comment now!
Well I’m a little late with this ones as I’ve been a bit busy but as I’m sure most of you are aware Butterbean (Eric Esch) has been telling the world what it already knows:
“I know he allegedly broke his foot in the fight against Sylvia, but he didn’t show anything before he quit. Pudzianowski has no stand-up and as strong as he is, he punches like a girl. All he does is throw arm punches. He needs a lot of help. He’s the 5-time World’s Strongest Man but hits like a 130-pounder, not a strong man who weighs 270 pounds. He doesn’t have the skill level to get to the level he wants to fight.”
“Once he gets a stand-up game – you can’t have a ground game working without one – he could be a force in MMA. He still needs some work on his ground game, too. We all know he’s very strong but that’s not enough at the highest level of MMA. I don’t know who has been coaching him but that trainer should be fired. Pudzianowski needs to prove himself, showing he has a good stand-up game by beating a good MMA fighter, before he gets another big fight like a spot on the October 9th show.”
