MMA Quick Quote: Mariusz Pudzianowski likes to hit big, soft people like Tim Sylvia

Pudz-sylvia_medium

"Tim Sylvia is already past his prime, so the only thing he thinks about is the paycheck after the fight. When I’ll take him down and start landing my bombs, he will lose every desire to get up. His handshake at the press conference made me realize that he has a very soft body. I like big and soft people, they are fun to hit. I have to be careful from his striking in the early minutes of the fight, but I am still very confident that it will be a great victory. In two years from now, I would love to fight Fedor Emelianenko. He will rip my head off if we fight today, but in two years it could be a different story. It will be very interesting to see the bookmaker's odds for that fight."

Five-time World's Strongest Man, Mariusz Pudzianowski, tells LowKick.com that he's going to have fun beating on former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia at the upcoming Moosin event on May 21 in Worcester. The Polish powerhouse has a lot to prove before he's considered a serious threat in this sport -- but that hasn't stopped him from eying a future fight with heavyweight deity Fedor Emelianenko. Anyone think the muscular menace has the chops to make it as a full-time fighter?

K-1 level striker with over a foot height advantage may be more of a challenge than a guy with a slight reach advantage that drops his hands with every strike and has very little combat sports experience.

Most likely it would end the same way, Fedor via armbar. Anyway, glad Pudz has lofty goals but is being realistic.

You think Sylvia has k-1 level striking? Really? Semmy would obliterate him.

Was talking to Puck Head, and I was talking about Hong Man Choi.

Nothing I said was about Sylvia, and Fedor ended that fight with a rear naked anyway. But to answer your question, I know that Sylvia is not a K-1 level striker. HMC on the other hand has quite a bit of K-1 experience.

That being said. I don’t think HMC has k-1 level striking either, he’s just a really big fucker. Unlike Semmy who is also big but can actually strike.

I hear you

HMC actually beat Schilt in a K-1 match, but I get your point. Basically you’re saying IF HMC wasn’t so damn big he would get mauled at that level? But because he’s so big he’s able to do well?

Exactly.

kinda like how Timmy is so big in MMA terms that his lack of talent can be masked by his size. Semmy is a big guy, he he’s still only a lil munchkin compared to HMC in sheer size. It’s like me fighting a ten year old boy who’s a black belt in everything, I’m still gonna kick his ass cus i’m a big fella and he’s tiny.

Haha, sorry, couldn’t resist that comment. I’m not one to troll but I couldn’t resist myself on this occasion.

I’m always keen to follow what goes on outside the UFC but freakshow fights don’t inspire me to serious discussion and at this point of Puds career how can we call it anymore then that when he is fighting Timmy? I hope he can transcend the realms of freakshow but I have a feeling that he could just be a flash-in-the-pan, easy-to-market fighter.

I don’t mind these so-called freakshow fights. It’s still man against man, two different guys presenting their own specific problems for the other. It’s also good for Puds because if he’s in this for the long haul, fighting a former champ will get him noticed. It won’t garner that much respect if Sylvia has degenerated into bloated beastly status, but it’s a a scalp nonetheless. Either way, he has more potential than Ray Mercer has.

The only thing that troubles me is that gif below which doesn’t exactly do him any favors when it comes to making him seem like a threat. Any worthwhile guy would have tagged him three times over in that exchange.

I’ll give him credit that he has a high intensity and it was only his first fight. He could prove to be a good fighter.

Some of you guys forget one thing:

Pudzianowski is full of shit, steroids, growth hormons ect.
If he even thinks remotely of competing with the best HW, he has to come off the juices.
If he comes off the juices, he looses at least 50 pounds.
He will be still stronger than all other HWs, but I can tell you, Pudzan with 265 pounds is a different story.
Apart from that, one of those legkicks against a top HW would lead to a cracking fist on his chin and probably ko him.

Didn’t he weigh in at 282 for his first fight? I would think with diet and water 265 is reachable.

If the object of the sport was to throw your opponent out of the octogon and into the 10th row, or to throw them into a wheelbarrow and cart them around I would agree with you. I’m not saying he doesn’t have a chance againts Tim or that he’s not a gifted athlete, but he has no fighting/combat experience what so ever compared to Brock.

 Wrestling their is much technique used and I understand those that don’t understand wrestling can’t see the technique being used. It’s simply not just power used. As leverage balance, timing, body positioning, exposion, and knowlege. If it was simply to do with strength Bob Sapp would have a much better record.

Some of those guys in the past have tried out for football mainly O-line men

 And have got destroyed, some have made it but their strengths are not shown becasue there technique is weak. Wrestling has proven time and time agaisn to be a great base for MMA because the ability to control the fight. And wrestling these guys competed at a simple task of bring another man to the ground and the other man trying to do the same but as simple as that task sounds the development and teqnique used is complicated and something that years and years of training are needed to do what Brock has done in wrestling.

 From the takedown to defending the takedown wrestlers have dominated MMA in those two phases for the most part. You look at Pudz throwing those wild legs above he throws one of those against an accomplished wrestler he wil be on his back faster than you can say Pudz. Wrestlers are trained to use their opponents momentum against them to help takedowns and Pudz looks like I guy that can go only one direction and this would make it even more easy for a guy like Brock, Carwin or even Cain. Pudz is more like a stronger faster version of tank Abott with worse technique though.

not a great arguement puck head. your wonderboy wrestler lesner also couldn't hack it as a pro football player.

i have seen nfl linemen try out for strongmen and fail miserably as well.

i wouldn’t call pudz a version of anybody that we have seen in mma before. this guy picks up cars for christ sakes! he tosses around round 300lb stones easily. that freakisasset isn’t his wrestling, but his strength. it isn’t lesners wrestling base that allows him to do damage from the guard while chest to chest against his oppponent, it is his strength. where is wrestling do they teach you six inch hammer fists?

technique can be taught, and pudz has a super freakish physical base to biuld off of. i realize that wrestlig is mostly technique, i’ve been frustrated by smaller guys who knew how to wrestle, they gave me all i could handle, but after a few months of learning some tricks and technique, my strength difference more than compensated for their years of experience.

If Brock was younger he would of made it no problem but at 30

The muscles used in Strong man are not the same as in wrestling for a large part anyway. Brock has years of training a few months will not cut it sorry man.

by Conan the Barbarian on Apr 8, 2010 12:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

The development of Brocks wrestling is over 15 years of training

 The muscles he has are trained to grapple and have been used and tested for years along with their teqneque. Sure you can learn a bit, but to make it simple for you what I mean by my statement, if you never played a game of basketball in your life you could still learn to play but your not going to be on the level that the pro’s are hell you won’t be on the level the high school basketball players are. If you never skated in your life you can learn to play hockey too. Same goes for wrestling as those sports do Conan. Yes Pudz can learn to grapple but he will never be on the level the best are especially the wrestlers. His strength might allow him to look good against certain guys in the grapple but against someone at the level and size of Brock he would get destroyed.

if you were compareing two equal guys apples to apples then i would agree. But we are talking about the world's strongest man here.

with pudz’s amazing strength and athletic ability, a small amount of technique will make a vast improvement in his game. assume lebron james picked up another sport instead of bsketball and never started playing until his senior year in high school. i’m pretty sure after six months he could beat the crap out of a junior high starting 8th grade allstar. he just has the natural gifts. i am comparing a senior in high school to a junior high athlete because that is an accurate representation of the gulf in strength that exists between pudz and other mma fighters.

by Conan the Barbarian on Apr 8, 2010 7:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

No you have to compare apples to apples

 He is a 265# fighter wich means he will have to cut weight in any established org. Just because Matt Hammill can bench more than Jon Jones doesn’t mean he can beat him. When we are talking strong man competition we are talking about lifting a heavy object or pulling or pushing a Heavy object. The muscles used in strong man does not mean they are the same muscles used in MMA.

 Brock if he trained at strong man maybe could do well but he will never be better than somneone trains for 15 years most likely and the same goes for Pudz he will never be able to compete at wrestling against the best, yeah he might be able to take on somone half his size but not anyone near his size. His muscles are trained for short heavy lifts and would fatigue much faster than somone thats muscles are trained for endurance like a wrestlers.

 But anyway I’m done with this convo and I’m confident the truth will come out, how about you Conan?

Something tells me that Pud will win here even though timmy should easily beat him up.

Giant jacked dudes with stubby arms are easy fodder for someone who can pancake them and bust them up standing or jab them to death. We also know that no matter how much they talk about their cardio, they always gas. Imagine Jeff Monson who is a seriously credentialed grappler. Pud is a crappier but stronger version of him more power. But your technique sucks and can’t reach your target what does that mean. With how rigid Marius was in his first fight and probly will be in his next five fights, bad matchup. The leg kicks won’t matter because Timmah stays flat footed but actually fires as guys go for his legs instead of a weak ass check. Though i doubt this fight will happen. Promoter is shady as fuck and has only run one show before in Korea.

And possibly no fighter in the world will be more explosive in short bursts. These guys do crazy shit with extremely heavy weights (more than Sylvia weighs).

Keg Toss – Competitors must throw kegs, of increasing weight, over a 14’6" high steel wall
Farmer’s Walk – Competitors carry heavy objects weighing from 275&ndassh;375 lbs in each hand for a set distance, and compete for the fastest time. A variation involves use of a heavy frame with parallel handles

Shit the dude can lift up a Timmy in each hand and walk like that. Sylvia is toast.

If strongmen had a chance to be awesome at MMA just because they're good at lifting things....

then why isn’t Jimmy Ambriz even remotely good? In order to lift timmy, he’ll have to close in on him or shoot from afar. Now i know Mariusz can’t wrestle or even in the clinch, his game will mostly be straight power and no technique. All you gotta do is watch his training vids to see how green he is. Regardless in both cases, timmy either feeds him jabs and rights or pancakes his giant frame.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Marius is fast and will instantly close distance. Timmie is too slow at this point and his jab will just fly by a rushing Pudz, then its goodnight for Sylvia real soon as he is just gonna get mauled.

What if Timmy wins, then what for Pudz?

 I see everybody counting Timmy out but if Timmy is actually training he has skillz and size to compete with Pudz. I know the Timmy of the last couple years couldn’t but if any of the old Timmy comes out he could very easily take this fight himself. I know it’s a big if but man the way some of you are building up Pudz and bringing down Timmy means if Pudz loses he sucks? Pudz doesn’t equal a victory based on strength alone against Timmy.

I think in this case it does equal a vitory.

Pudz sucking at fighting is a fact. So if he loses to Timmy he still sucks, nothing changes.

But I am of the very strong opinion that at this point in Timmie’s career he is too slow and weathered to stop a rush from that short-burst explosive maniac strong man. That’s all.

I don’t think with his strength he needs “skills” to fuck Tim up. I am not saying that he would necessarily beat any other legit HW.

Some of you guys forget one thing:

Pudzianowski is full of shit, steroids, growth hormons ect.
If he even thinks remotely of competing with the best HW, he has to come off the juices.
If he comes off the juices, he looses at least 50 pounds.
He will be still stronger than all other HWs, but I can tell you, Pudzan with 265 pounds is a different story.
Apart from that, one of those legkicks against a top HW would lead to a cracking fist on his chin and probably ko him.

Its like the line to end all discussions. “Anyone can be knocked out”. Of course they can, now where do we go from here? Its like saying “Anything can happen”. Yes, very true, so we end it all with that? Or we ignore it and build our own hypothesis based on what we’ve seen from each fighter?

Otherwise don’t sh*t on our parade for doing so. 75-85% of this site is “ifs, ands, or buts”, so that’s what we’ll continue to do here.

Ya a lot of Pudz future still remains to be seen, but that doesn’t mean we can’t speculate on where its headed. Or break down the gameplan of his opponent since some ppl around here seem to have heard of him. Just cause Pudz is a bit of an unknown doesn’t mean we can’t look toward the recent past of Tim and what we’ve seen of Pudz to figure out where this fight may be headed.

Sorry, I should’ve just put the standard “Agreed” under your “anyone can get knocked out” post, and pumped your tires for you.

 Thats a good question but the fact remains Brock has yet to test positive for anything and the remarks that he does do them are from ignorant posters with no facts behind their statements just a disbelief that a man can get to his size with and athleitic ability with no help. Pudz on the other hand has tested positive and there has been remarks against him but because he’s not on the big stage you don’t hear as much.

So anyone who fights here and tests negative is OK in my book. I don’t care that at some point they used Steroids to build out their frame.

Randy is a can at heavyweight, at best a gatekeeper. I would pick any of the top heavyweights to beat him including midrangers like Kongo and he lost to Nog recently and we all know how Nog did against Mir/Cain.

Mir is a legit win but they split their meetings so the verdict is not out yet.

All in all Brock had a less than impressive run, but I’ll be the last one to claim his instant respect isn’t deserved, just look at my sig…

Randy is a can at heavyweight,

Really!?
 Sorry man but I disagree, he is around the same as a Werdum or AA now but no can. The man is the same size as Fedor when he is at HW and can throw around big guys like GG and Timmy as we have seen. I think him and Werdum are two great technical fighters that would be a great fight? They both lack the strength Fedor has and the bigger guys but technique wise are still amongst the best. NOG surprised Randy with his stand up for sure and the difference in the fight was the stand up on the ground that fight was one of the best ground wars I have seen in a long time and NOG can give anyone problems on the ground. Now is Couture a top five in the HW, no but he is close.

No still not comparable to Randy let alone Mir OK who are you talking about Leman that has such impressive wins Cain beat NOG but so did Mir and had troubles against Kongo were Mir destroyed Kongo, I know Cain is improving but his wins are not impressive as Brocks who di it against higher ranked fighters in his first five fights!!

He’s got one can, then Mir x 2, Heath Herring and Randy Couture; who did Fedor fight his first five fights?? Without going to wikipedia I doubt very many ppl here if anyone could name them, but the only name on there is Ricardo Arona, and it was Arona’s 3rd fight in his carreer and Fedor’s 4th. So fighting on PPV, against experienced veterans, 2 of them former Champs in your first five fights somehow proves NOTHING???

A look at their overall Carreers and yes Fedor has done a hell of a lot more cause he’s been around a hell of a lot longer; but as to who is #1 right here and right now today?? You could have it either way and I wouldn’t argue with you, I can see an argument for boh sides.

Pudz would have to wrestle for ever to get to where Brock was in high school. let alone his NCAA champoin level.

This guy is not fighting anyone worth a damn. IF you are talking Athletes this man is a DAMN good Athlete. If your saying an MMA fighter hes a wildcard. No technique but the amount of strength he is able to possess is unknown to be honest. Acting like hes going to fight Brock Lesnar tommorow is ridiculous. He can obviously work a strict and difficult training pattern for years to become 5 time WSM. So who says he cant transfer to an MMA style to fit his high explosive strength? We see time and time a great wrestler lay and pray and do fine at it. Why cant someone who overwhelms most people find a great set of coaches keep training and become a good MMA star? He doesnt need to be the next BROCK LESNAR IM CHAMPION 3 fights. But…He isnt wanting to. He doesnt have that wrestling background right now hes fighting shit fights just to get experience and knowin. He will be someone if he trains like he is obviously able to. Throw him in American Top Team(big strong GnP guys) and he will be something to always see and watch. That kind of power with a good boxing coach is scary. Chin or not. 4 Oz gloves dont stop fist. Brocks Standup leads to all his victories not just his wrestling…..His hand size and his power not his “perfect boxing technique”…watch this guy
