Doing a bit of skimming for news I’ve come across an interesting article on Polish site Interia.pl which mentions that Moosin are pleased with what they saw from Mariusz Pudzianowski………or at least from the Polish contingent of paying customers that turned up! Synical, me, no Anyway Corey Fischer, a director of Moosin, admitted that Kimbo Slice, real name Kevin Ferguson (not quite as cool).
From what we’ve heard Pudzian is already lined up for a September fight with KSW, no-one named as yet since the Nastula fight was pulled and moved to next year. It is hard to see that he would change that fight to train hard and then line up against a tougher opponent but we shall see. We’ll keep you updated.
So Mariusz Pudzianowski’s MMA career hit a bump in the shape of Tim Sylvia but judging from the official Moosin MMA Salaries for the God of Martial Arts show I’m he’s found a few reasons to be cheerful, or maybe he found 110,000 reasons to smile. Yes that’s right despite losing due to being gassed and having no visible way or stopping Sylvia Mariusz Pudzianowski was paid $110,000 for the fight. It gets better. Tim Sylvia was only given $50,000 despite beating him. You’ve got to laugh really.
That’s right Mariusz Pudzianowski is physically intimidating according to the article over atBleacher Report. They’ve a good little article about the 10 most physically imposing MMA fighters. There is a good mix of both old and new fighters and coming in at number one is Mariusz Pudzianowski. Go check out the report. I’ve always maintained that a man of his immense power, i.e. Mariusz Pudzianowski could rip a limb off you if he wanted to, will come good and now he’s getting the correct training (soon) we should see improvements.
So it seems that the Mariusz Pudzianowski vs Pawel Nastula MMA fight has been postponed until potentially next March. Reading Pudzian.pl it indicates that to face an opponent like Pawel Nastula he requires more technique and fitness training. Damn right Pudzian’s fitness is pretty poor at the moment, most likely from lugging that huge frame around. The website does state that Mariusz Pudzianowski will continue his MMA career against a different opponent at KSW XIV in September but no opponent has been mentioned as yet. Most likely another confidence booster for him and a chance to try out his new training.
That’s right, it was a bit obvious but the big man, Pudzianowski, has finally realised to actually become half decent in MMA he needs to start training with better fighters and better coaches, ideally those not in Poland as they all idiolise him. I’ve suggested previously the UK as its closer to Poland or the US as their are more team to pick from and probably a better overall standard. Pudzianowski has decideded to go to the US. WP.pl suggestes he has been in talks with American Top Team and Sityodtong.
Here’s what Pudzianowski and his coach have to say (in dodgy google translation):
Pudzianowski: I have to train with the elite, if I want to compete with it afterwards. My goal is a world summit and will do everything to make him go
Miroslaw Okniński: Three, four months in a good club in the U.S. could prove decisive.
So there you have it. Lets see what some good training will do for the Pudzian.
Pudzianowski Pawel Nastula is the next fight for the polish beast, Mariusz Pudzianowski. Coming off the back of a loss to Tim Sylvia and two fights in two weeks Pudzianowki will now take on Pawel Nastula, who is 1 – 4 – 0. Pavel Nastula is another Pole but of more note is he was 1995 and 1997 Judo World Champion, and 1996 gold medallist at the Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. Pawel Natsula has mainly fought in PRIDE however had a pretty tough welcome to the origanisation fighting Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Aleksander Emelianenko. The fight is planned for Septemeber.
Mariusz Pudzianowski vs Tim Sylvia had got the MMA world a little excited, through curiousity mostly. Could the 5 time world’s strongest man defeat a two time UFC heavyweight champion……..could he?!? Well no he couldn’t actually. We’ve got the full Mariusz Pudzianowski vs Tim Sylvia Video below and we’d love to hear your comments .
The fighters have weighed in and Mariusz Pudzianowski has come in 10 pounds lighter than his fight two weeks ago.The weigh ins stand like this:
Mariusz Pudzianowski vs Tim Sylvia weigh-in:
Tim Sylvia – 305 lbs.
Mariusz Pudzianowski – 273 lbs.
Mariusz Pudzianowski MMA thinks theres been some heavy duty cardio on the regime for Pudzian, which is a good thing considering how gassed he looked the other week. Pudzianoski is dropping a mighty 32lbs to Tim Sylvia, who is 18lbs heavier than when he last fought, but there’s a difference between pure muscle and strength and alot of flab. With that said Tim Sylvia has knock out power in those fists, something we’ve not seem from Mariusz Pudzianowski yet.
A while back whilst in Toronto UFC head honcho Dana White was doing a Q&A with fans and was asked about Mariusz Pudzianowski fighting and whether he was on the UFC watchlist……a resounding “who?” was pretty much the answer. One day perhaps, Mariusz Pudzianowski MMA thinks that should the Tim Sylvia fight go Pudzian’s way then Dana White may well start to notice the big man some. What are your thoughts? Leave us a comment!
Mariusz Pudzianowski MMA is looking forward to this one! Its fight number three for the 5 time World’s Strongest Man, Mariusz Pudzianowski, this time in undoubtedly his biggest and most high profile fight to date with Tim “The Maine-iac” Sylvia, the former UFC Heavyweight Champion at Moosin: God of Martial Arts. Tim Sylvia is coming off the back of a win against Jason Riley, but the attention is still falling around his 3 loss streak that culminated with a 10 second knockout from former WBO World Heavyweight Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Ray Mercer. Check out the knock below, the sound goes a bit towards the end but its the best up close and personal video I could find.
Anyway Corey Fischer, a director of Moosin, admitted that Kimbo Slice, real name Kevin Ferguson (not quite as cool).
