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.
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.
