Poland's Mariusz Pudzianowski has dominated World's strongest man competitions in the last years. He made his MMA debut against another novice. You can watch the clip here http://mma.fanhouse.com/2009/12/11/mariusz-pudzianowski-worlds-strongest-man-wins-mma-debut/ In addition to being unbelievably strong Mariusz is athletic in other ways too. Of course he does not have the backrounds of Brock Lesnar but he could be one of the better freak show fighters
....the video in that link has been taken down... but i found another one.... http://www.wgrane.pl/film/46111ce0824d4c5d2744f04749e7b191 He's gonna be a sitting duck for strikers, no head movement whatsoever, and he's not got the height/reach to get away with that.
Give a fucking break. He had no head movement because the other guy didn't get close. I love watching World's Strongest Man competitions, but he needs to fight someone who isn't running away.
Strength doesn't always equate into power, so who knows what kind of fighter he can be. But if he's only relying on strength, then his MMA career will be a short one. TFK
I was looking forward to seeing his debut, after seeing it I am not looking forward to his next fight. The dude is as unathletic as they come. He really did look like Bob Sapp in there. Just a huge strong guy, nothing more.
The Opponent was Obviously a COMPLETE Can, but REED was Fairly Impressed w/the KICKS that this Dude Threw...VERY Hard & Surprisingly QUICK...Now Let's See him in vs. Someone that'll Actually HIT BACK & Not Turtle... REED:hammert:
In the case of an athlete like Marius it really does. In terms of raw explosive power he's probably the most potentially devastating guy to step in a ring in human history. Of course the timing, accuracy, leverage, technique, punch choice, stamina, etcetera to take advantage of that horsepower are something else all together. Obviously a top trained fighter beats him easily.
LOL @ you guys talking about his lack of head movement:::::: he was againest a dude who was just avoiding him!:: I love how the ref or whoever that was takes him and locks up his arm::
i think he'll just fight a bunch of bums in Europe and make some easy retirement cash don't look for him to ever fight anyone
What about that fight didn't look like Lesnar? Physically, he looks just like him. Stylistically, he bulled down a no-hoper and went pitty pat on him til the ref stopped it. That's a Lesnar fight.
Well for one, Lesnar has never fought a "no-hoper". Ever. Two, Lesnar is one of the greatest collegiate wrestlers to ever live, his take downs are second to none at HW. Three, Lesnar has better agility than most 205'ers, that guy has Valuev's agility. And finally four, Lesnar has put many a fighters on their respective cans with one punch, and as said before, none of those are "no-hopers". I would love to see what Frank Mir thought of those so called pitty pat punches that stopped him. So I'll give you physically looking like him, though I really don't see that neither. But the rest is :shit:
Kim is a fairly decorated jodoka and K-1 GP finalist though. Let's compare credentials with the can in this video Marius beat up. There are bums of all different levels, Kim is not even close to the worst guy you could fight in your pro debut.
