Mariusz Pudzianowski worlds strongest man X 5,

jayoo

Thought this might be of interest because of his world strongest man record

fatal

That guy is a beast!!Dana white must have seen that.
By the way whats up with the tattoo on his back,looks like an advertisement:eek:

Zippitydoo

Good idea to make some money with the tattoo if it is for advertising... only if it's fake of course! Might be rules against fake tattoos in MMA though due to having something extra on your skin I dunoo...

He's listed as 313 pounds on wikipedia so would have to cut bigtime to fight somewhere like the UFC.

His kicks were hilarious!

O.P.H

Wow that lad is scary. Wonder how he would do in a proper boxing match, like lets say against David Haye

jayoo

He would be murdered in proper boxing match, i actually would hate to see him fight any decent heayweight, carring all that muscle would cause him to tire so quickly,

Remmy

Now i know zero about fighting but i reckon him versus brock lesnar would be a good fight to watch.

brianblaze

Big dude, but he'd be gassed before he did any decent super heavyweight. I bet he fights Butterbean next!

Mariusz is a monster. Out of all the strongmen who could possibly make a successful transition to mma he'd have to be top of the list.

and if it fails, he always has his music career to fall back on.

It wouldn't last very long, Haye would deal with him easy enough. Not that I'm a fan of Haye.

I'd love to see it, just the shear size of the guy, yet a much smaller guy being able to take him. In a no rules fight though he would kill Haye right?

Ya have to see this, one, look at his friggin arms but also, this is the weirdest tv chat show setup I've ever seen. Its like they have a team of presenters in a type of office block setup interviewing him, very odd.

Mriusz versus Brock Lesnar.
now that would be a fight worth seeing!

I bet it wouldn't.

I went over to the MMA forum when I saw this.
The consensus was not good.

Lesnar seems awfully quick for a man of his size.
Marius doesn't.

Inspector Coptoor

yeah, Brock is fast and has a lot of wrestling experience.
I just think it'd be interesting to see brock fighting someone bigger than he is.

Lesnar, or any other compitent wrestler would take him down very easily. And I'd say he's got very little ground game.

i agree
but again, would be interesting to see brock against someone bigger and stronger than he is.
I doubt he has even trained with someone bigger than him

Brock was supposed to have his first ever MMA fight against this guy...



Hong Man Choi....

He pulled out though and Brock ended up fighting Min Soo Kim. Point being Brock prepared and trained to fight a bigger guy.

d'Oracle

Also, would Marius look much bigger than brock?
I mean obviously he is huge, but he is pretty short.

I neglected to take into account how tall his competitors would have been.

Zippitydoo

He really likes to be well rounded doesn't he! Can you imagine trying to tackle those thighs dear god.
Brock Lesnar would destroy him, he's far too quick for him I'd say and his wrestling easily allow Lesnar to dominate.

The funny thing is, when Brock Lesnar first went to mma everyone said the same things then that they're saying about Mariusz now.
Mariusz has to be given a bit more credit... he was a top Polish amateur boxer at one stage, and has legitimately just beaten a guy who's presumably not half bad.

the drifter

Fcuk brad...Mariusz is where its at....are you watching kevpants

no, his opponant was awful, came from a boxing background like mariuz.

for his size he is fairly fit. strongman isnt just about pure strength, u need a lot of endurance too

kumate_champ07

from watching that short fight I think he would destroy anyone in the UFC, even with his 'limited' fighting background. trying to grapple with one of the strongest men in the world would be like an 8 yr old trying to fight his dad. even if the 8 yr old was a black belt in whatever, his dad would still win.

he has too much strength/power tho his chin is still to be tested. even getting him on the floor, do fighters expect to keep him there for long? brock is strong and it has helped him(and he can move very fast on the floor for his size) but this guy is in a different class as far as human strength goes

grappling is all about strength in technique not just pure strength, ive grappled guys half my strength and size and had a hard time with them

imagine tryin to get him in an arm bar?

Leverage and Positioning, not power...

This is like one of those 'Triple H would kill Chick Liddell' type conversations. Any novice at MMA against a seasoned and trained fighter, 99 times out of 100, will lose... Á la Kimbo versus Seth Perrozelli...

Please tell me you are joking. When he kicks, his hands are down. If he does this against any competent striker (let alone a UFC pro), he'll get knocked out very quickly.

A seasoned MMA pro would put him on his back within the first 15 seconds and either ground'n'pound him or submit him.

He wouldn't power his way out of a kimura. If he did, he'd be soon missing an arm!

kimbo was a bum, mariusz actually has a good boxing background, he didnt 'star' in streefighting against bums on the street

Im sure he's not gonna be fighting in the UFC in the next 6months, he'll have alot of his weaknesses pointed out after that fight

yeah buts lets say he's twice a strong as me then but iam schooled in grappling bjj, it would still be the same because of my better tech, are ye wit me?

Amongst the things he'll have to master are:

Footwork
Submission Defence
Takedown Defence
Striking Defence

That will take many, many hours. He's no spring chicken so we'll see how quickly he learns and if he's really willing to commit himself to the sport for the long-term.

Who knows what will happen though? The UFC are going to have to pick limited fighters to match up well with Kimbo.

It would definitely be an interesting fight and all of Poland would definitely watch it. Might be a great way to host a UFC event in Poland - lots of good MMA fighters are emerging from there.

brianblaze

Also, they drug test in UFC so i'm presuming, possibly incorrectly, that he might not exactly breeze through that.

UFC's testing is a joke. I'm fairly sure it's the state athletic commissions who test rather than the UFC so there'd be a very small window for testing, should be easy enough to pass with a little thought.

but he got caught... so did josh barnett

Inspector Coptoor

the point is that it took a long time for him to be caught.

he still got caught, but its besides the point , mariuz wont do well in mma, he had been training for like 6 months for that fight , yet he reverted completely back to his instincts and fought like a child imo.

Sherk failed on a test on a sample taken the day before a fight and ended up with a 6 month ban in the state of California. Like I said, once you're not being stupid you'll never get caught in the UFC the way they have things now.

I agree he may not do well at the start, all the muscle power in the world isnt going to help against hits to the head, but after gaining experience he might become very good very quickly. A few knockouts might be good for him.
Once he knows how to use his power for defense as well as attack it might shift things in his favour.

brianblaze

He fought Marcin Najman...

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcin_Najman?wasRedirected=true

Essentially an average boxer who was on Big Brother Poland...

Not exactly stiff opposition. I maintain my point, he's too big and untrained to make an impact on MMA. Those muscles need alot of oxygen to keep going, give him a few minutes and he'd be gassed, and easily submitted.

Please give me a list of subs that could be easily used on this guy. Also, with a few months training he could learn sub and takedown defense.

Obviously he would be getting fcking murdered standing anyway so no-one with a brain would waste their energy trying to take him down.

Teach him how to guilotine, rnc and kimura and he will pick up a few wins when he gets his hands on his opponents.

Mellor

There is a lot of nonsense in this thread.

He looked terrible. So what if he is strong.
He is also way over the upper weight limit for Heavyweight, so all that talk of time and Lesnar is pointless. He won't be fighting in the UFC unless he can drop to 265

He might fight Bob Sapp, or Hong Man Choi in Japan, but thats it for now.

LOL yep but its still better than reading about Joe MCIlderry on the MMA forum (who?).

My point was though that he would be very hard to submit, regardless of how tired he was.

Spot on, he belongs in Dream with the other freaks (although Dream in general is very good whwn you take out the freaks).

I didnt mention the UFC in my post.

kumate_champ07

bob sapp had no stamina, the tall asian guy is sh1te, he's just freakishly tall.
mariusz is freakishly strong with endurance and huge, I think with the right training he will do really well. it was the same with lesnar, even when he won his fights he was still getting grief.

strongman competitors are much fitter than bodybuilders or powerlifters, dont let his size fool you, he can last at least a couple of rounds!

jayoo

He could def draw some big numbers (cash) in pride, prehaps a squash match in his first apperance and then a match with big crazy bob sapp.

I have always wondered how he would get on in the world of pro bodybuilding. I mean he has an amazing bodybuilder type body already, with a lifting programme based around strength, if he changed it to a hypertrophy based programme, i wonder where he would get
