Former World’s Strongest Man champion Mariusz Pudzianowski made his much-anticipated mixed martial arts debut against Marcin Najman at KSW 12 on Friday, December 11, in Warsaw, Poland.
Pudzianowski, a fourth kyu green belt in Kyokushin Karate and former amateur boxer, made quick work of Najman, a professional boxer. The fight began with Pudzianowski throwing leg kicks at Najman. After several kicks were thrown, Najman fell to the mat and Pudzianowski delivered a brutal ground-and-pound, forcing Najman to tap at 43 seconds of the first round due to strikes.
