Pudja slimmed down to be able to fight for more then 20 sec without almost dying. too much muscle in mma is a curse.
Hey I know that but, like you said, "20 seconds longer without dying"
To last long in the octagon takes tens of years of conditioning and training so you can fight 5x 5min rounds... pudja just lifted weights, tanned and jogged for 2km's every now and then.
He might aswell kept his powerfull strengths to fight, I think he would have done somewhat better, this form he has now is TOTALLY new to him, I think he even gets confused how weak he has become in pure strength, he doesn't know what to do.
I make sense?
