Marius Pudzianowski MMA Fight Video(Knockout at 44 sec.)

[James Phoenix]

Fight would have lasted longer if he used it as a showcase for his 'technique'.

Is that effective fighting?

Only the most highly skilled fighters that have trained all their lives (Machida, Gracie, et al) can use technique effectively.
For the rest, it's best to use pressure and aggression.

Why did the referee have to place Marius in an armbar to get him to stop fighting?

Roidrage.

[gordiano]

it got results...its like when people blame food that tastes amazing for its lack of presentation.... 

yall maybe want him to kick like vandamme?   

People are so used to "movie" moves, pretty spin kicks, et cetera. 


I agree the guy needs polishing, but c'mon, he can only get better.

i have a few friends that do mui tai....it dosen't 'look' pretty but i've been kicked once before (in the thigh) and it FUCKING HURT

[James Phoenix]

Shotokan at the higher levels is the same way.
Very direct.

[MB_722]

mariuz is sloppy

... Muay Thai FTW!

[Tyr]

Its his first fight so he's still probably rough around the edges.  Once he gets a few more fights under his belt we'll see what potential he has.

Its too early in the game to praise/rag the guy.

[caseyviator]

Holy shit that guy is fast as fuck for 300 pds. Wouldn't mess with that guy on the streets.

WOW   im freakin impressed big time this guy will beat damm near everyone   maybe sumone real good at submissions may beat him on a fluke..but he is the new champ now!!!! imo

Someone with good footwork and clean striking will pick him apart. 

A world class wrestler would put him on his back, keep him there and ground and pound him.

A world class submission expert would soften him up with GNP, then sub him. 

He is a sideshow, nothing else.

Referee is a schmoe and took his chance to wrestle with Marius.

That's what they said about Lesnar.
We'll find out soon enough if pudz continues to compete

[Method101]

i take it they don't drug test..

Marius will tear a muscle, , when you have big muscles held on by smaller ropes making explosive movements it's just a matter of time before theres a snap

hes to strong for every current fighter out there in 2009 so much more explosive than i expected a guy that big
watch out how easily he kicks a 220lb guy trough the ring
- and mariuz takes it very serious , he will improve his tecnique al lot in the next month

[Charfman84]

Low level fight. I want see him with Lesner.

Lesnar is on his death bed, hole in the inestine or some shit.

[Dreadlifter]

I was wondering what's happening with Lesnar. Since that initial thread on here a couple of weeks ago i've heard nothing more.

[Mr Nobody]

Fedor would take him out quickly

[Meso_z]

brutal "retard" kicks.

Spoken for truth.

[spinnis]

what do you know about fighting? have you ever been in a fight? what do you know about how functional strength effects athletic capability and thus fighting capability?

answer to all three are no.

ive been in several fights and ive trained fighting so yes, I know what Im talking about.

you should limit yourself to talking about drugs, which is all you know.

leave this discussion up for people with a clue. Like myself. Not you.

now run along cokeboy.

"best in the world" after that showing hahahahahahaha

you're the Only one on this planet that doesnt think that is fucking ludacris hahahahahaha

[spinnis]

That's what they said about Lesnar.

Dont compare him to lesnar for fuck sake.

thats beyond dumb.

[Mr Nobody]

How do you think Kimbo would do against Pudzia?

[spinnis]

How do you think Kimbo would do against Pudzia?

Kimbo would outbox him with ease if he just wheathered (spell) the first storm

I love these relics from the UFC 1 that still think BJJ without anything else is so dominant over everyone--strikers, big guys, etc.
Even if as Bulldog said, it would require world class strikers and world class wrestlers to beat him--what does that say for strength?
That's basically and admittance that, despite having an (assumed) limited skill set, a very strong guy can potentially beat everyone except those considered "world-class", and establish himself very quickly. I've always said strength is AT LEAST equal to skill as a factor in fighting, and it's true.

Again, look at Rogers--he's a very powerful guy that just broke out of Fedor's grapple attempts without any real technique. He gave Fedor more trouble than anyone, and it's due to his power--nothing more.

Too old, too many injuries to learn and become world class.

Lesnar is a Division I National Champion wrestling.  His skillset in this area of fighting is elite level.  Pudz isn't world class in any skilled areas of fighting.

Size and strength do play a role, hence weight classes.  But a guy with strength, no skill has little or no chance against someone of comparable size and technique.  All someone has to do is whether the initial storm, wait for Pudz to tire, then attack.  He couldn't win the sumo portion of WSM, so his wrestling is limited, I doubt with the size of  his legs, he'd be dangerous off his back.  You need hip flexibility for that.  And his striking is severly limited.  A sideshow, and a draw.
