I think your a little confused on the difference between Lesnar and Carwin cutting weight and Pudzian cutting weight. Pudzian is used to a very strict diet and workout/cardio plan! Have you ever seen his daily routine on an everyday basis? Obviously not! If he has to cut weight he’ll know the quickest, fastest way to do so…change of diet and workout routine is nothing, and from what I understand he has already altered that.
Im not really sure what you’ve been watching on ESPN, but they have played Worlds Strongest Man for years! It’s actually very big here as well. Pudzian has always been the smallest to compete in his days in strongman, and has come out on top more than anyone ever has been capable of doing. Dont bash a mans achievments, that’ll make you a fag! And as far as just lifting weights..strongmen dont train with your regular dumbells and plates, they train with raw weight. I mean kegs, tractor tires, or anything you could think of thats in outstanding amout of weight. This sets Pudzian away from other MMA fighters.
Another thing to add to physique types between lets say Lesner and Pudzian. Pudzian is close to 300 lbs at around 8% body fat and Lesner is around 300 at around 20% body fat. By saying this, Pudzian has a much more solid physique which will make him harder to knock down.
I think with the proper training and experience he can recieve from some good managing, he will be a great fighter! Maybe not jump to the top all at once, I think he has the heart to make there someday!

Pudzian will make “Puddin” in his oponents pants.

Good point…its different for guys like Lesnar and Carwin who are massive but are familiar with the concept of cutting weight from their wrestling days. That’s a tough thing to do at age 33 if you’ve never done it before.

I think he’d have a hard time making weight in the UFC. The guy is about 300lb of muscle. I don’t think that he’d be able to get down to 265 without losing all the power that gives him his edge.

No, ‘Puddin’ is his nickname that’s sweeping America.

Interesting is that although you have been corrected so many times to not use “puddin” you still with the stubbornness of an ox do so… I really think that like some mentioned before you have a grudge because some polish dude shagged your girlfriend or you are just a puny troll that likes to be annoying because every type of publicity is good publicity… and listing boxers and mma`fighters is like compering apples to oranges… stupid, Im a brawler I took on some way huge guys on the street just by being nasty and knowing where to punch but in a ring most of them would owe me because of there are rules… i guess if you are a fat sad Davida (i will misspell you name from now on… guess why) you might think that strength rules on the street… it might but much less then in the ring where you cant punch in the wind pipe or rip somebodies earlobe off or traditionally headbutt the motha, and other such tricks… HENCE your theory and yourself are officially owned and you should look for another vocation.

the sport was created relatively recently and one of its advantages is that it allows people from different backgrounds to tests their skills against one another. Since sports like wresting, boxing, judo are not going to disappear in a flash, it is going to be so for a time to come. Aside from strictly professional mma fighters there will be someone like pudz crashing the party now and then. i understand that mma fan-base and mostly mma professionals are not very happy to see outsiders crashing in, especially if these outsiders are as foreboding as pudz is. the writer of this message is a twat, no doubt about that, he would be better off pursuing some other interest than mma. talk can everyone. time will tell. i don’t think that a human strength nowadays can stop pudz from getting to the top. his two next fights are up and coming. pudz is the guy who talks little and does a lot and that what gonna happen.

i repeat again. one of the primary ambitions of martial arts was to confront fighters from different backgrounds. if some mma employees don’t like it now, they should create a new sport, specifying that someone with no history can not enter the sport. then, they will have nothing to worry about and can sleep tight with their pussies unscathed.

I’ve read several conflicting accounts of the extent of Pudzianowski’s boxing background. Personally, I have no issue with the guy giving the sport a shot–one of the fascinating things about MMA is the many different backgrounds its competitors come from. And in a street fight I’ll take a tough guy with strength and power, some boxing training and ‘real world’ fighting experience over a trained martial artist any day of the week.

The only real issue I’ve had is the over the top suggestions from some of his fans that he could jump in and dominate the Fedors, Lesnars and Overeems of the world right now. I am aware that I’m making a lot of the same arguments about Pudzianowski that were made about Brock Lesnar when he started training for MMA. And I was in the same basic position then that you are now, as I was big on Lesnar’s prospects as a fighter and kept trying to remind people that his size, strength and athleticism combined with his legit amateur wrestling background were no joke.

Time will tell and it’ll be interesting to watch.

Without getting into any pointless,no-win net. battles i don’t really think the author of the above article mentioned that pudz actually has 7 years competitive boxing experience (polish national league)as well as the life long practice of karate (Kyokushin) (4kyu). and as a street enforcer in poland…i know karate guys dont get a lot of respect from mma people which is probably justified in most peoples opinions but if youve ever tried to fight a massively strong incredibly well conditioned guy that can punch you really should know that youve got your hands full man!!(no disrespect but you probably hav’nt) I would suggest if his chins good he’ll go far also never forget the football maxim of “physical superiority cancels out all theory” ……and he certainly is physically superior,so dont be an idiot and “no class” him

I corrected your many mispellings….riddle me this: how many weightlifer/strongman types have ever had any kind of success in MMA and/or boxing? You can count them on one hand and have fingers left over. Strength is an asset, but its no substitute for fighting ability. At this point any top 100 heavyweight would destroy ‘Puddin’.

dear david

I have to say you are a t”w”a”t and a troll too, to call yourself an MMA journalist is a insult to journalism, you did no research and cached up on the word count by writing insults and bullshit. Dominator (that is his nick mate) can lift any heavy weight MMA fighter with one hand… you understand that ONE HAND hes training regime is really similar to what Fedor does he might not have much training with all that brasillian gay hugging on the floor but trying to put an arm bar on someone that grabs 500 pound weight and jumps up a set of stairs couple of hundred times a day is… problematic. If he wins his next fight which is with a sumo/wrestler I think he will owe Silva`s ass in the US fight easily.

Time will tell! From what I’ve seen, Pud is an amazing athlete: Strong, agile, quick. I would not want to get in the ring with him, especially if he has martial arts training. With some practice, he’ll beat the tar out of most guys. Not sure he’ll ever be at the top of the sport, but a lot of that has to do with his goals.

He’s obviously driven and can do a lot with his talent.

Ok, Truth, obviously you didn’t do your research. Just like Lesnar, pudzian weighs 310 pounds of pure muscle, when he came into weigh-ins during his fight, he weighed in at 276lbs, that’s just 12 pounds off the HW limit, so he could easily make weight and go up in weight come fight day. Secondly, You obviously don’t know anything about pudzianowski to say anything let alone your trolling against him. Aside from Lesnars dry humping when he lays on someone, he’s as flexible as a log in standup. Pudzian went into an adrenaline fueled rage when he fought, but good coaching will bring him into focus. I’m sure people like you give him reason to work freakishly hard at mma like he does WSM to prove all doubters wrong and shut your mouth, lest you’re a troll, which it seems like you are. Fedor on the other hand is as slick as they come and has mastered his technique so he doesn’t factor into this equation.

HAHAHAHA wow, first of all he will never fight in the US because they test for steroids and also the HW limit is 265. Second to call him quick or fast or athletic is a joke. Just watch the fight look how lumbering and awkward he is compared to guys like brock of fedor. I do agree he has the choice to do what he wants and make money how he wants but let’s not get it twisted he will NEVER be an elite fighter!

While I can’t say for the rest of the people here I did get the writers point. That is, a lot of his fans on youtube are saying he is already the best but he needs to prove himself before he is the “best”. It’s just the writer didn’t articulate well and instead insulted Pud. based on online comments.

“You’re better off not fighting legit heavyweights and you have no business in a ring or cage with Fedor or Brock Lesnar without a weapon. Even that might not help.”

“that won’t be enough for him to beat any legitimate MMA fighter in the world let alone a monster like Fedor or Lesnar who’d likely break his arm off and beat him with the bloody stump. As something of a MMA expert, my advice to Pudzianowski is this: enjoy being a big deal in Poland and keep beating up tomato can boxers and making bank.”

Now he could have done that for a few reasons.
a) He didn’t think much about what he wrote and it came out wrong. (That’s being generous)
b) He insulted Pud. because he wanted people to come to his article and make comments about how he is wrong. Any publicity is good publicity?(That’s being cynical)
c) A bit of both (realistic)
d) I don’t know (Also a possibility)

The only thing I can say is write an insulting article about his fanboys not somone who isn’t even involved in the argument.

Wow, I think a lot of people are reading this article wrong.

He’s not belitting Mariusz as much as you guys think.

He’s saying his FANS are already essentially calling him the best fighter ever and that that statement is premature. You see that all the time and it’s really annoying to be honest. A guy with potential with a dominating win over some random person suddenly becomes “the best guy ever”.

MMA is fraught with people like that. Anytime any heavy weight wins handily it’s always “Fedor is next and he’ll beat Fedor easy!”. And it’s annoying because these are pretty much untested fighters and one win over a nobody and suddenly he’s better than someone who has handily beaten EVERY competitor thrown at him (and no, these people were NOT nobodies). If I remember correctly after Tim Sylvia won some match he was calling out Fedor and there were legions of fans screaming that Sylvia was better than Fedor cuz he won the UFC belt. Well, we know how that turned out.

I think the point of the article is fans have gotta stop pulling that crap out. Once the fighter has good legit wins under his belt, then you can call him a contender. But it’s silly otherwise.

Pudianowski definitely has potential to be awesome in MMA. I mean anyone that’s seen him in WSM competitions knows he’s a bad ass. But no one knows how far he is now MMA wise. He’s not proven enough to be placed on the same level as current champions. How is he on the ground? How is he against a good kick boxer? How’s his wrestling?
