Mariusz Pudzianowski’s next fight
Pudzianowski’s next fight is a clash against fellow former “World Strongest Man” Eddie Hall at KSW 105.
The bout has been titled “World’s Strongest Clash”, and for good reason. These men are two of the strongest humans in history.
While Hall may not have the experience in the ring, he has the strength to match Pudzianowski and holds a weight advantage going into KSW 105.
While the bout won’t be a mat classic, it should surely be exciting. Hall knocked out the Neffati brothers recently in a two-on-one fight, but this bout with the Dominator is a whole different beast.
Mariusz Pudzianowski vs. Butterbean
It took just 75 seconds for Pudzianowski to put down Butterbean in their boxer vs fighter clash in 2010.
At KSW 14: Judgement Day, the Pole destroyed the former boxer in a hugely one-sided fight. Despite being known as a knockout artist, Butterbean was made to pay for his arrogance as soon as the bell rang.
Pudzianowski immediately tackled Butterbean to the ground and began to pummel him into submission. After just over a minute, Butterbean gave the signal for the referee to stop the match and hand Pudzianowski the victory.
Mariusz Pudzianowski vs. Bob Sapp
Pudzianowski dove straight into the deep end when he transitioned to MMA back in 2009.
In just his seventh fight ever, the Pole took on a legend of MMA in Bob Sapp. The K-1 legend was one of the biggest draws ever in Japan, and became a star in fighting and pro wrestling based on his ability in the ring.
However, their 2012 match came at a bad time, when Sapp was on a 14-fight losing streak and coasting off his past reputation. He looked like he didn’t want to be there, and the Dominator looked up for the fight much more than he did.
It took less than a minute before the ref called for the bell. Pudzianowski battered Sapp, delivering punch after punch until the American cowered on the floor, waiting for the referee to end the fight.
