I was surprised the Referee could hold onto that one arm and take Pu-jon down.
He used both arms and both legs just to hold one of Pudzian's arms!
Interesting, nearly kicked his opponent right out of the ring.
But, looks like M. Najman freaked after feelingthose kicks and simply dropped, turtled up and quit.
What kind of martial art would you call that? Holy cow.
No surprise here. The dude benches 600 pounds and the bench press exercises many of the same muscles used in throwing a punch. I've been saying for years that boxers ought to do more bench pressing. If you can build up your bench press and not lose too much speed in the process, you'll be a scary fighter.
Guy’s a freakin’ beast!
He’s going to have a very short MMA career with that dork-like punching ability
Should be fun to find out.
Mauris is a phenomenal athlete. In some of those events in the WSM competetion he shows unbelievable quickness for a man of his size and strength. He’s a very unusual strong man.
It will be, but busting up on another rookie, it’s hard to tell. He looks like a steroid queen to me.
MMA = Mixed Martial Arts.
MMA is the closest thing to a real fight. Kicking, grappling, punching... almost anything goes except for your standard no-no's... no rabbit punches, kidney punches, etc.
Pudzian has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, but MMA combines the best of any martial art... techniques from boxing, karate, kung-fu.
The most effective fighting combination that most MMA fighters train is a combination of Muay Thai, BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), and Russian SAMBO.
The number one guy at this is a Russian by the name of Fedor Emilianenko.
As long as he can protect his head no one can hurt him!
If you can’t box, it’s hard to protect your head.
Thanks! That guy is huge. Could Fedor beat him?
Watch my video (link just under the pics of Fedor). Fedor beats everybody. Really big guys that make Pudzian look like a ballerina...
It would be a hell of a bout to watch though!
That's why they call it ground and pound. He learned the right way to punch, but when he's that strong pounding the other guy right through his defensive block hurts as bad as a good punch.
This was the strongest man in the world pounding on Marcin Najman - with all of his might!
Mariusz goes about 300 lbs. Isn’t there a 265 lb wt limit in the UFC hvy wt division. I don’t know about Pride.
I’m not talking about the fist pounds. I’m talking about his punching ability. A rabbit punch, at best.
