Pudzianowski: I wanted to please the fans, and paid the price for it
Posted on May 10, 2010, 04:16 AM by Anton GurevichWorld Strongest Man Competition legend, Mariusz Pudzianowski, stated that the somehow "unimpressive" Majority Decision victory over Yusuke Kawaguche at KSW 13, won't discourage him from fighting Tim Sylvia on May 21st. Looking at the whole picture of the fight, Mariusz Pudzianowski stated that he learned a lot from fighting a more experienced opponent:
"It was tough. I just wanted to be too spectacular, too entertaining. I wanted to please the fans, and I paid the price for it. Of course, I was never in any danger of losing the fight. Kawaguchi never delivered any significant pain, but you could tell that he was 11-1. For me, it was just my second MMA fight ever, basically my first against an MMA fighter.
Only people who don’t know me would think that not winning by KO against Kawaguchi would discourage me before the Tim Sylvia fight in Worcester. I will be there May 21, stronger and better than ever. I needed a MMA lesson and I got one. The worst case scenario would be winning against Kawaguchi in 60 seconds and not going through this whole two round ordeal, not having a full ten minutes of MMA School. Now I know what should be done to win."
Mariusz Pudzianowski and Tim Sylvia will headline the upcoming Moosin: God of Martial Arts event, held at the 15,000-capable DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusets, on May 21st. The fight card also includes MMA veterans such as Yves Edwards, Travis Lutter and the promoter Eric "Butterbean" Esch.
HT: Przemek Garczarczyk, Tim Hobscheid

Damn !!! Crocop has been hitting the roids !!!
i wanna see what mariusz's GnP is like , gotta be brutal
In his last fight against Japanese fighter Kawaguchi, he showed big holes in his game: his striking skills were very rudimentary; he almost gassed by the middle of the second round...His only weapon was his brute strength which he used to close the distance and outwrestle his opponent. I was more impressed w/ his first fight where he mixed strikes, effective low kills, and wrestling...
If Silvia can weather the storm in the first round and control the wrestling, he can pick super-hulk apart and get the W...I'll be cheering Timmy for this bout...
All due respect to Timmy, but I hope he's learned how to do some back-flip low kick dodges or something. Silvia has big clumsy legs, and it doesn't matter how little technique Pudz the roid-monster has, he has more power than anyone in MMA. World's Strongest Man multiple times over, is significant. His leg-kicks are vicious.
Tim weighs about what, 280lbs? Pudz can probably lift that much one-handed without trouble.
(just going to keep calling him Pudz, will never get his name right)
Everyone needs to go to Wikipedia and read up on Pudzian's diet. Its pretty shocking what hes secret is!
he eats babies
Lol! Fortunately not. besides the 3 pounds of bacon and 12 eggs for breakfast, he says he eats candy all day to keep his energy level high.
i been eating candies too after my joint, to get some energy
crap now i got early diabetes
I was actually surprised with his last fight, with how well his cardio was dispite all that muscle, he wasn't all that tired really. I hope he gives Sylvia a run for his money with a vicious KO punch.
I hope he goes back to powerlifting & strongroid competitions.
Hope he KO's Sylvia with a mean body shot.
He's gonna KO Tim with pinky flip with one hand behind his back.
No way in hell he's gonna KO sylvia after watching Pudz last performance, he is no brock Lesnar, at least Brock has some techniq even if its little. This guy sucks and will alway suck in mma.
How is Brock's technique "little"? If there was a hall-of-fame for wrestling, he would be in it. I guess the Gracies have "little" technique. He is as accomplished and skilled at wrestling, as they are with JJ.
yeah maybe you're right but still, brock has a lot to improve even if he's the current HW champ, where as after watching Pudz fights you can tell that he'll never be a fighter. Even untrained Silvya will KO him, mark my words.
I wonder if Sylvia's Casket will be finished on time for the burial! Bwahaha!
His last fight against yusuke was shocking to see, he just doesn´t know how to move his body to force energy into his hands. He just has strength wrestling wise, no power in his punches, middleweights probably hit harder then him.
But im sure he will evolve, he seems like he really wants this, time will tell.
His kicks were Cro-Cop like. They looked very powerful, and fast. That's bad news for Tim.
come on man, nothing to do with crocop kicks, are kidding me, he doesn't even know how to move his hips, come on man, comparing his kicks to crocops is just insane. You clearly don't know what you talking about.
lmao.
Pudzianowski by overhead toss to oblivion.
