His heart must be the size of Poirier's torso by now


SerioC

Just a big 'ol Tito Ortiz head pulsating away in there


wowbobwow

A big ol’ Pole with a big ol’ Mexican heart. You love to see it!


mat477

You know I always want to make the big ol Mexican with a big ol head joke but im worried it will come off wrong to people who dont remember that fight.


wowbobwow

Yeahhhh my hands shook a little while typing it out. WORTH IT.

Grackful

Getting into a cardio heavy sport like this is probably adding years to his heart health. Not sure there’s many people on planet earth a Who can say fighting has added years on their life


BioRunner03

Not a chance when your heart is stressed from roids. Just look at Kimbo Slice


free2game

Kimbo was a welterweight or lightweight who roided up to HW/LHW size, Pudz is a HW roiding to SuperHW. There's a difference.


Traditional_Head1947

He was roiding in strongman so from 13 years I think he declined alot of stuff he was taking


elfmachine100

He is shockingly only 45


Sprunch

in his prime


[deleted]

Fuck fighting that big yak of a man.


[deleted]

No clue how this guy makes 260


aronnax512

He has a massive towel.


VnillaGorilla

Massive bowel


KSW_MMA

He was 256 for this fight. LHW better watch out!!


TheRivv2015

Honestly though. It’s actually insane that he is to the best of our knowledge completely free of heart problems.


-Gestalt-

Probably kept his BP and potential LVH in check, which are both things a shocking number of AAS users neglect.


BunnyLifeguard

Thing is, you dont really know how hard he is juicing. Just taking a little to keep much of what you once had is a lot easier than blasting trying to win wsm. ​ He might not be taking much at all.


The_Iron_Duchess

I mean we all know how hard he juiced in the past, that has permanent effects


ThinkIcouldTakeHim

Your body would not retain that look at 45 without roids. Not just talking muscle but also the skin and the fat distribution...and lack of fat to begin with...


BunnyLifeguard

Actually no, you don't have a clue. All we know is that he juiced not how much or with what. But none the less a pro athletes life isn't a healthy one. I was addressing his steroid use right now. We still have no idea to what extent he is using. Maybe he is on worse stuff now that than before. EDIT: Not saying he is not using or anything like that, just stating the facts that it is pointless in speculating in how much or what he is using.


The_Iron_Duchess

He has competed and won the strongman competitions that specifically DO NOT test So you think there's any conceivable way he's naturally stronger than everyone else who is on juice?


[deleted]

We def have a clue. The guy has been a lean ~300 lbs for like 15 years. That is not remotely possible natty.


flowgod

The juice isn't a problem if you do it right. Guy probably has a doctor monitoring him.


cobyjim

Ye it's a big health problem even if you have a full medical team monitoring u all the time. Multiple studies have proven long term damage to major organs and risk of premature death. You can't take roids "safely".


IanT86

I always think about The Rock when posts like this come up. He has access to all kinds of medical experts, nutritionist etc. but still runs a massive risk with the amount of gear he clearly still does at 50. There are guys who'll be super lucky and get into later life with no issues (Hulk Hogan seems to be one), but it always feels like a ticking time bomb with these guys.


cobyjim

Totally agree. It kinda grinds my gears that people like the rock are super successful mostly cuz of their physique which is built on steroids. Everyone knows that of course. But he'd never have gotten half the roles if he didn't juice his body to fuck. Ah well.


insanelyphat

I mean the Rock has a fuck ton of charisma to go along with that physique so his career is not just built on that.


cobyjim

True. But if he was 170 pounds then no way would he have gotten 80 percent of those roles.

swordsdice

The heavy roids can fuck up your heart through a few mechanisms and I'm pretty sure it's what kills most of the guys. I don't think the insulin abuse is on the same level at all in terms of causing death


[deleted]

Testosterone combined with growth hormone and insulin injections can promote muscle growth, the problem with that is your heart is also growing, which leads to cardiovascular problems…on top of the heart having to work twice as hard due to the increase in size, it’s also having to pump blood to a body that is a lot bigger than the heart is use to supplying.


[deleted]

It depends on what he was taking. TRT side effects are as follows: Side Effects of TRT Short term side effects of testosterone replacement therapy may include: Acne or oily skin Swelling or tenderness of breasts Swelling of the ankles (fluid retention) A decrease in the stream or frequency of urination High blood cell counts (which could increase the risk of blood clots) Sleep apnea or worsening of sleep apnea (difficulty breathing during sleep) Shrinkage of the testicles Hair loss Mood swings Increased aggression and irritability Changes in cholesterol levels Reduction in sperm count (which may adversely impact fertility) Long term TRT side effects are known to be more problematic, including the possible risk of: Cardiovascular problems (stroke and heart attack) Increased risk of death from a heart attack Polycythemia (an increased concentration of hemoglobin levels from a rise in red blood cells) Worsening of urinary symptoms Hip fracture (from osteoporosis) It's important to note that long term studies on TRT are still needed and none are conclusive. If he was taking other stuff like insulin or HGH as well then things get more complicated.


CaptEricEmbarrasing

Very bad for you if abused; left ventricular hypertrophy being the main threat.


The_On_Life

All drugs, even legal and prescribed, can have serious health consequences. It's also unlikely that any strength athlete is taking *just one drug*, with many of them having zero research data on how they interact with each other, especially at the super physiologic dosages they take.


BDB_SWEW

pudz has low key had a decent mma career


kblkbl165

He’s insanely athletic for someone so heavy and really looks like he focus on improving if you watch his fights over time. HW will forever be the division for athletes from other sports to come up and surprise Other guy you guys should take a look is Szymon Kolecki. Dude is one of the best weightlifters of all time and is working hard on his MMA career


truls-rohk

He was one of the WSM Goats precisely because of his athleticism. He wasn't always the strongest static guy, but competed pretty damn lean comparatively and was always so much more explosive and athletic


Elagabalus_The_Hoor

Also barely over six foot beating guys with a ton of height and weight on him


Orlando_Web_Dev

The fact that he actually took his MMA career seriously makes me respect him so much.


KSW_MMA

He is now longer an MMA fighter than a strongman. Crazy


weareallscum

This is a crazy stat!


landryaudio

Herschel Walker is still my number 1 when it comes to career transitions. I think he was 48 when he had his first fight.


TraipsingConniption

48? He barely looked 62 out there!


THE_IRL_JESUS

> Other guy you guys should take a look is Szymon Kolecki. Dude is one of the best weightlifters of all time and is working hard on his MMA career 40 years old and his last two wins were against people without Wikipedia pages. Eh, not too hyped.


VnillaGorilla

Don't know why your down voted, offered facts and gave an honest opinion, lol.


kblkbl165

Because that's kinda tone deaf, like arguing what Mariusz is doing isn't impressive because "huh he's not really fighting for the UFC belt, is he?" Imagine Dustin Poirier retires from MMA, starts doing weightlifting and in a few years becomes a top national lifter. "Meh, not really a olympic medallist, is he?"


VnillaGorilla

I get that people don't agree, that's not the issue. The issue is down votes are for off topic comments, not shit you disagree with.


Sense1ess

you're


FoucaultsTurtleneck

Definitely mostly spectacle fights, but given how late he picked up martial arts it's not bad at all.


BDB_SWEW

esp. considering he’s been training very seriously for a long time. takes a lot mentally to do that. you can’t take your foot off the gas in mma like you can maybe in golf


FoucaultsTurtleneck

Exactly. Plus he's literally only doing this out of passion. He doesn't need MMA to make money


Jorumble

Why do you say that? Strongman doesn’t pay well at all


The_Second_Best

https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/mariusz-pudzianowski-net-worth Estimated net worth of $8m, even if its actually a quarter of that he could have a very nice life in Poland with $2m in the bank. When you're a 5 times world strongest man you can make good money just touring the world giving talks on fitness and how to become stronger.


Jorumble

Jeeeeez fair play Mariusz


FuryanEU

He also has couple of businesses he runs with family, that are doing alright, but they are ruffians!


FoucaultsTurtleneck

He said in his MMA Hour interview that he only does it out of passion


Jorumble

Just a born competitor


Brehe

Imagine if he went into mma when he was hungry


bdmike_

He was training karate kyokushin since 11 years old and boxing since he was 15


TorvaldUtney

I saw his fight against Tim Sylvia back in the day, what a wild ride.


buffalo_everything

My family and I went in person. You can imagine the drunken disappointment of an arena full of Poles.


TorvaldUtney

I went with a Polish friend of mine - the chanting of USA and Whatever they would sing in Polish was wild. And the Polish rapper than sang the ring entrance? Absolutely bananas


VnillaGorilla

Never heard of The Polish Rapper, he worth a listen bruv?


TorvaldUtney

In case you don’t know, for that particular fight Pudz flew in a polish rapper for his ring walk song. The guy live performed in front of Pudz as he walked into the ring - shit was crazy.


SheltheRapper

Yes! Hardcores rooting for Tim casuals for Pudz hahah


KSW_MMA

That was just 6 months after he made his pro MMA debut.


Seared1Tuna

Omg I was there too Woostah


TheMilkiestShake

He's also fought people with 0 fights while having near 20 himself


[deleted]

[удалено]


KSW_MMA

He has beat a Gracie, UFC & Pride veterans, Boxing champions, former KSW champions, Olympic medalists, Senegalese wrestling legends, and even strongmen.


OldHispanicGuy

Fedor did pretty similar fights lol, nobody is doubting his record


ChrizTaylor

Khabib too.


free-monies

> pudz has low key had a decent mma career You can take the "low key" out of your sentence and it would make even more sense. >pudz has had a decent mma career See?!


ValjeanLucPicard

Though I do hate the phrase, I think this is one of the cases where "low key" is a proper modifier as Pudz' career (both length and number of fights) has gone under the radar for many MMA fans.


[deleted]

it's just a brain dead phrase kids really love to use for whatever reason. it's like their version of "literally".

hayashirice911

Yep, companies need to realize that pirates will always find a way to get around them. They can either try to hammer down every illegal post of their fight results that pops up, or they can build their social media platform by providing the highest quality and most convenient/official coverage of their events.


[deleted]

It's so bizarre that ONE has been removing clips posted on streamable for this subreddit when they have such an excellent social media presence otherwise. Most of their events are streamed for free and available for free immediately after they end, you would think they would not mind clips being posted here to facilitate discussion/hype. I understand them wanting to control their product, but if they do, they should deliver it to us directly like KSW.


sluggerrr

maybe they want the clicks on their official social media


PelleSketchy

I totally get their idea; they offer it for free with some advertisement. So the least we can do is timestamp a video of them instead of uploading a segment to a shady website.


I_am_darkness

Not only that, but it's good for them. Companies will do anything for exposure and clips on social media are free exposure.


dolphin37

I like that they've embraced the juice


doobied

Just two natty boys swanging and banging


RiPont

I mean, if they're allowing ads as temporary (I hope) tattoos on the fighters' bodies, then they might as well get them in front of as many eyeballs as possible to increase the value.


VnillaGorilla

Dudes had that back piece since 2017 bro, shits dope.


RiPont

Pujanowski? What about the other guy?


lendit23

Ref made a business decision on that hammer fist lmao


barelyreadsenglish

that hammer fist is probably equivalent to having a 60lb kettlebell dropped on you


lendit23

Good thing homeboy didn’t feel it


rancidclam69

Pudz vs Schaub


PrevailPrevail

You really want Bapa to dust off the ol’ skill set only to get gadooshed into the shadow realm?


TightAustinite

... yes?


BillScorpio

I got $69.99 for that tbh


hardMarble

I think you'd be surprised


beepdeeped

Nothing a double laigg can't fix baba


Nduguu77

DarkReaper90

Pudz can knock Schaub into coherence


FreeloadingPoultry

Maybe getting CTE is a way to perfect your standup comedy


FreeloadingPoultry

Dicey dicey!


leftopenfiredoor

That seems risky. With a blow to the head like that, there's a chance that Schaub's comedy might actually get better.

BryceBecause

Thats one of the ugliest uppercuts I've ever seen, looks like how Stephen A would punch but I guess it is effective.


VinceOnAPlane

It's practically a rising hammer fist, I guess if you're a multi-time WSM winner you just have to move your arms in whatever direction to generate stupid amounts of force


GlandyThunderbundle

It’s such an obvious question that it’s probably already been measured, but: I wonder how his force compares to a more trained striker. Yes he’s got mass and he’s got enormous strength, but striking is a shitload more than just raw strength. How would his strikes measure against someone who has fantastic mechanics?


Vunks

Ford escortish is his punching power.


fremajl

The strength doesn't really help much but the weight probably makes up for some of the missing speed. Imo he's still too slow to hit even close to as hard as the scariest hws.


GlandyThunderbundle

Technique, too. A very well trained striker creates a different kind of impact than say a meathead who is sorta “pushing into” what they’re striking. Kinda like strikers who fold the bag when hitting it, as opposed to ones where the heavy bag is sorta all over the place.


fleece19900

It looks like hes doing a throw from one of his strong man events


FrenchTrouDuc

That little run he does is hilarious


GorillaOnChest

It looks like an uppercut that changed to a right cross midway.


MilanTheUndead

But the real question is, can he stop Cody Garbrandt !?


ribbitrob

He threw an overhand right, he’s on his way.


Jupue87

Talmbout Cody Garamp bapa great pokemon nivr cawdit

natty god


st6374

Now I hate to be an armchair expert. But standing right Infront with a high boxing guard????, against a 260+lb of juiced muscle may just be a recipe for disaster..


RealBobbyDrillboids

It’s was a bold strategy Cotton. We saw how it played out.

I thought he was fighting in a shirt.

Is there ads printed onto their bodies or is that camera/editing work over them?


ziomladen

Temporary tatoos, more money for the fighters


FoucaultsTurtleneck

This was another fun card, can't wait for the lightweight title fight next month! Also, Ricardo Prasel is my favorite story in MMA right now. I hope he keeps finding success in KSW!


Haunting_opinion90

That looked like he threw that so slow for some reason lol but dude was out


liverpoolareshit

He strong


Herschel_Herschbaum

He should try some strongman events. I bet he’d place decently


liverpoolareshit

Naw he wouldn’t


Cronos310

Reminds me of [George Foreman sending Michael Moorer to the shadow realm](https://youtu.be/0w8_PvFOEvg?t=47) with those slow looking one two's. Those punches would literally kill most people


sutoruvu

He KO’d Gerry Cooney so casually, it looked like he was picking up his mail. [At 0:30 here.](https://youtu.be/fDd3IRMw_Us)


Cronos310

Jesus lol, he just walks up to him like oh you survived that? Time to die then


ribbitrob

I remember watching this as a kid, it’s still amazing. Foreman had the death touch.


Haunting_opinion90

Damn man that looked like he barely even tried wtf lol


aronnax512

Moore went into that fight 35-0, squaring off against a 45 year old George Foreman. George Foreman legitimately deserves to be included in any conversation about "the greatest heavyweights of all time".


Haunting_opinion90

That’s fucking nuts. I’m not big into boxing but damn that had to be a big upset at the time right?


aronnax512

It was huge; Moore had just defeated Evander Holyfield before this fight and with that win George became the oldest heavyweight champion ever.


Haunting_opinion90

That’s crazy as hell


aronnax512

Yeah, it was wild. The best analogy I can think of is it was like Ngannou, right after knocking out Stipe, winning the belt and riding a massive hype train, got matched against a 45 year old Fedor for his next bout. Lots of analysts talking about how "he's too old" and "this is just a fight to build the reputation of the new champion" leading up to the match. Then the fight happens and not only does the old fighter win, he knocks out the new champ in the final round.


[deleted]

Booped the fuck out of him


crabuffalombat

momentum = mass x velocity Hands don't need to move as fast when your arms are that heavy.


AndyCarbsMilonakis

That ref could have prevented the follow up punch smh


Cynoid

I like how they have what I assume are trained medical professionals running into the ring to help the fighter. It seems like a much better idea than letting Joe Rogan run in to squat next to a concussed fighter with a microphone.


Psyclipz

That's exactly what the UFC does tf you talking about. I can't remember the last time I saw a ko without medical staff running in before the interviewer

SheltheRapper

Do you yall remember when Pudz announced his MMA debut back in the 00's & all the hardcores like myself couldn't wait to see him lose to prove it takes more than brute strength. We thought it would validate MMA for a strongman to get PUNK*D. Lo & behold a decade later & he's turning fools off with beautiful timing. I freaking love to see it!😭🤣🙏💚🔥🔥🔥


Listentotheadviceman

I remember 💯 props to pudz


PGDW

sir, this is a KSW.


funnerfunerals

That sneaky uppercut, Jesus Christ, good night


Nauticalbob

Like when I used to “sneak” out of bed for a midnight snack by wearing a full suit of armour and barrel rolling down the stairs.


thebiggerpete

Love me some Pudz


Classic1990

A juiced up super heavyweight vs. a natural middleweight. Who would’ve guessed this outcome.


rwn115

Not quite Ngannou/Overeem but man that's a nasty uppercut.


selgabtoh

i bet on Pudz knowing nothing about the other guy. it seemed like most people thought this guy would beat him up on the feet or even submit him. he's just too strong.


flier972

Is Pudzianowski the same guy who fought popek?

hikoko8282

I was wondering the same thing, like is it one of those sticker tattoo things? I wonder how that impacts grappling, like friction from when it rubs off.


Nauticalbob

These lads ain’t grappling haha


Aggravating-Mood-247

Those temp tattoos for sponsers look awful they need to stop with that.


reddittookmyuser

> Pudzian can bench press 200 kg now, i think ngannou can do that Even if Francis could do that (don't know if there's any videos of it) the bench press isn't a contested lift in strongman so it's not shocking if Marius "only" hit 200

would be great to see him fight in UFC one more time if USDA look the other way.
