Bob Sapp Picture So its not taken long for Corey Fischer to get back in the press about the next ‘big’ or money making matchup for Moosin. He has stated “It is possible that we will organize Mariusz Pudzianowski fight with Bob Sapp”. Bob Sapp has been a pro wrestler, pro footballer, kickboxer and MMA fighter. Sapp’s next fight is scheduled for November against Jörgen Kruth at Rumble of the Kings so this would give Pudz some time to train for a fight against the behemoth. The other name that was banded around, at least until post-Dream 16, was James ‘The Colossus” Thompson. At Dream 16 Thompson lost a split decison against Yusuke Kawaguchi, who had previously lost by unanimous decision against non-other than Mariusz Pudzianowski. Kawaguchi wasn’t too happy about that.

Personally I think a match-up with Thompson would be better for his game than against Sapp. Thompson has a wealth of experience and although it could be potentially be seen as a step back to fight someone who has just lost to someone you just beat I don’t see it that way. Before Pudzianowski gets real recognition he needs to start fighting real fighters, those who are in it because its their lives, its what they do. I have no problem with the Sapps and Butterbeans of the world but they aren’t looked upon as the guys you need to be beating to progress your reputation. Mariusz Pudzianowski’s next MMA fight will see him enter the Fight! rankings for the first time as well. What are your thoughts? Who should be next up? If you remember Pudz is also meant to fight Pawel Nastula next March as well.
