When Mariusz Pudzianowski kicks ass, it typically involved tire-flipping, bar-bending, and other feats of strength. Now, it actually involves ass kicking. It seems that the World’s Strongest Man wanted to expand his horizons and gave MMA a try.
Super Mario is an interesting guy. He plays rugby, considers himself a singer, and has appeared on Polish Dancing With The Stars. He’s also been in prison and claims to eat 10 eggs and two to three pounds of bacon for breakfast. Oh yeah, he’s also won World’s Strongest Man a record-breaking five times.
Mr. Pudzianowski comes in at a robust 6′1″ and 275 pounds. He’s much more cut up than your typical WSM contestant. Unlike those dudes, he doesn’t have a massive “strength gut.” Instead, he looks like a guy that Van Damme would fight at the end of a movie in the late 80’s — essentially a Polish Chong Li or Tong Po. I attribute that to good genetics and extreme steroid abuse. Maybe HGH too.
This past weekend, Pudzianowski fought in his first mixed martial arts match. Now, being gigantic doesn’t necessarily make one a good MMA fighter. You can see that Mariusz lacks much technical skill. Luckily, his opponent has no skill whatsoever. The other man, Marcin Najman, had never fought professionally before and received only about $17,000 for the ass beating he received. Pudzianowski collected around $70,745 for his part in the mauling. You can check out the video below via The Cage Doctors:
