    The first 5-time World's Strongest Man, Polish icon Mariusz "Dominator" Pudzianowski, makes his United States debut May 21 against 2-time UFC heavyweight champion Tim "Maine-iac" Sylvia (25-6-0) in the super heavyweight main event, headlining the first major mixed-martial-arts show in Massachusetts history, "God of Martial Arts" pay-per-view event, at the DCU Center in Worcester.

    "God of Martial Arts" is being presented by Moosin, the South Korea-based promotional company, which has promoted MMA shows in South Korea and the United States. Moosin, in conjunction with the International Taekwon-Do Federation, plans expansion into to China, Poland and Australia.
    The 6-1,275-pound Pudzianowski (1-0), a national hero in Poland, won his cage debut last December, forcing Marcin Najman to tap-out to punches and kicks in only 43 seconds. In addition to his feats of strength as the World's Strongest Man, Marius practices karate and finished second in Poland's version of "Dancing With The Stars."

    ...Sylvia's experience against Pudzianowski's brute strength makes for a classic contrast of fighting styles. We're going to feature some other big names, mix in some of the best talent in New England, and produce an awesome pay-per-view show."
    In the co-main event, Korean heavyweight Mu Bae "The Heavy Tank of Busan" Choi (9-4-0) battles veteran Travis "Diesel" Wiuff (59-14-0). Brazilian middleweight Rafael "Sapo" Natal (11-2-0) takes on Travis "The Serial Killer" Lutter (10-5-0), while Bahamian lightweight Yves "The Texas Gunslinger" Edwards (37-15-1) faces New England's rising-star Mike Campbell (7-2-0).
    ********************************************************************

    Urrgh, one of the selling points for Marius Pudzianowski is that he came in 2nd the Polish version of Dancing With The Stars. This does not bode well.

    :lol: It mentions this as if dancing is a martial art....'He's not just a beef-cake, he does kicks in his dressing gown and he can also camp-it-up on the d-floor'
