Marius Pudzianowski beaten up by a man with 14 inch arms

[Matt C]

Marius is a below 3rd class fighter.
Good proof that muscle and power alone means nothing in fighting.

Means "nothing"?  He took down a former two-time heavyweight champion.  He lasted seven minutes with someone who could formally say he was the best fighter in the world.  His strength doesn't mean everything, but it means something.

Yes, Tim Sylvia showed that 14 inch guns can even crush 20 inch arms of functional strongman strength. Pudz is now Sylvia's house boy!

 

who was that Nasser supporting douche that came on here a few weeks back proudly asserting....The bigger man will always win

...............idiot

[Earl1972]

mariusz has 3 fights, sylvia has about 30 or so

i'd say he did quite well considering his inexperience, does he have any sort of fighting background?

Good. Tell that to the fighting organizations of the world and they can get rid of the weight classes...

I am not trying to be a dick here, but do you know anything about the sport, rules, or do you follow it in any way?
Do you just see the blood and KO's and think it is barbaric?
Be honest? I am curious.

I don't care about the rules. In my opinion every sport where two men fighting against each other (let's face it: they are trying to kill each other) are STUPID. I hate violence and it's so sad that so many people are enjoying to watch it...

You obviously have no clue how this sport works. Nobody is trying to kill anyone and there has never been a death or serious injury in the UFC. People like you who draw conclusions about a sport they really know nothing about is the number one problem effecting its growth. No trying to be a dick to....it's just very frustrating when the sports history and fighters will tell the opposite of what you are saying here. Many who fight are cool with each other before and after they fight.

Posing on stage = not a real sport (anyway training in the gym and being a bodybuilder 24/7 is the hardest sport you can find...)

Beating the shit out of an other man and being a "champion" = not a real sport plus I believe it makes the world worse...

Real sport = for example basketball just to name one...

Please tell me how this makes the world worse? What about your drug addiction? I mean, some 16 year old picks up a magazine and sees you in it. He knows you put tons of shit into your body--he uses you as a role model, and begins to stick tons of shit into his body. Doesn't this make the world worse? Are you not contributing to this by serving as a "role model" who sticks drugs into his body? You're not really making the world better by drugging up.

[Thin Lizzy]

If bodybuilding is a 24/7 "sport" so is MMA. Fighters have to follow a rigorous training regimen that includes cardio that would make the typical bber puke after 5 minutes, plus fighters have to stick to diet in order to make weight.

He wont be able to answear that nor will he see the hypocrisy in his statement. MMA is 10 times harder than being a professional bodybuilder. Namat thinks that only bodybuilders have to diet , doesn't know what real weight cutting is.


FYI Namat, most MMArtists have the ut most respect for their opponents.  Don't comment on MMA Steve until you educate yourself a little. You wouldn't want everyone judging bodybuilding based on thier first impressions would you?




Namat, does injectiong yourself with substances that are illegal in many countries including the USA make the world better? Is injecting illegal hormones better than two trained athletes (real athletes, not drug addicts in posing trunks and baby oil) participating in combat under a set of sanctioned rules that rarley see's either participant serioulsy hurt?

Absolutley. Stength and power are very important to fighting, just not as important as cardio and endurance.

[Mussolini]

Where did Namat go? Crying about how MMA is not a real sport and makes the world worse while he injects himself with illegal hormones and has to do illegal drug deals for him to aquire his gear. I hope he gets caught then deported. I'm not American and am uncertain how they deal with immigrants who gain citizenship who are then convicted of a crime but here in Canada his ass would be deported back to whatever dog shit third world country he came from.

Deported? He may end up as president!

Power is everything in punching and kicking.  Powerlifting is misnamed.  It should be called strengthlifting.  Power is how quickly you can generate strength.  Olympic lifting should be called powerlifting.  Benching 500lbs means nothing if you don't have the power.  When a little 135lbs is punching like a rock he is accelerating his whole body into speed during that punch.  When a lumbering 240lbs fighter who benches 450lbs throws a slow arm punch he isn't generating any power.  That's why almost all powerlifters who squat 900lbs can't dunk.  That's why almost all elite olympic lifters can dunk. 

MMA besides skill takes conditioning, power, speed, endurance, V02 and strength.  One other point about fighting.  Strength without conditioning is useless in fighting.  Running out of gas is a major problem in fighting.

and that's why "world strongest man" ( ) lost to a "out of shape" white man hick 

[Tito24]

when he stands Straight hes a very tall dude..









Ive seen Tim in person of a few occasions..He looks like about 6'2 max when he walks...He has terrible posture.  However, if he stands 100% straight..He's about 6-6, 6-7 easily.

[jpm101]

Actually it's Quickness that transfers power to torque into a explosive applied action. Quickness is not to be confused with speed ( lot of other stuff involved here, way too long) . Top athletes tend to be quicker, all thing being equal. That's why so many brothers show superior qualities over other athletes. Their quickness and reaction time, putting things in motion, are well above the average.

Personal view: don't consider PL'ers superior in lifting sports. Olympic lifters, yes by all means. Have to be exceptionally quick, along with applied power, to raise 400lbs plus overhead in a matter of a second or two. Just the distance traveled of a huge weight lifted, off the floor, is impressive. Pl'ers, not so much, with their short ROM in the lifts.

Until Pud gets better at training 360 degrees strength angles (including lateral (bi, tri, quad, etc), learning to use whole body leverage/shifts, etc, with increased stamina (strength & endurance), he's not going to go far in the fighting sport. Give him a good 6 months and let's see how he improves. I get a feeling he could be top dog sometime in the near future. Just does not have the experience and full training as yet.
