No idea Pudz was as accomplished as he is... getting pretty fucking old for combat sports. Of course there's another 46 year old we all know who'd ragdoll him til he shit spaghettios....

I think Pudz had very good technique.

I think he was a low level fighter. He destroyed some bum of the month opponents. He could never hang with a top UFC heavy weights.  His skill is low as well as his endurance.  He wins with his strength against some clowns that are journey men in Europe.

Pudz vs McGregor in a street fight - who wins, who dies? I vote Pudz FTW. His size and strength would be too much.

Conor fights at what, 155lbs?  His ground game is really bad. He is a good striker but I would bet on Puzt because of the size difference. If he took down Conor I bet he would absorb a ton of strike unable to get back to his feet.  They have weight classes for a reason.

For sure, but of all the crossover experiments- guys who were better known for other careers, Pudz racked up some nice knockouts. He's had almost 30 fights and- unfortunately- is still fighting.

Contrast with james Toney... great boxer. Tried mma and embarrassed himself.

Dave Bautista had one mma fight against a stiff. It was almost a disaster.  He won but hasn't fought again.

Pretty sure some former pro football players gave it a shot with mixed results.

I know other strongmen and bodybuilders have tried mma with pretty bad outcomes.

Lesnar was an obvious exception.

Pudz wasn't a serious contender but he didn't embarrass himself either.

In MMA you don't have to be great at anything, just competent in several things.

Pudz was a beast.

He beat the shit out of a magical Gracie trained wizard (those guys who cannot be defeated  ::))

Strong low kicks, heavy puncher, can take you down to ground and pound.

Has a variety of skills.

Compare him to a Mark Coleman, Pudz is not as good a wrestler but can kick and punch much better.
