UFC 110 in Sydney Feb 2010

Btw I agree with your earlier assessment. From all I've seen of Mariuz, I wouldn't call him a good athlete, while Brock Lesnar has always been a tremendous athlete.

Still would pay to watch the Polish Hammer fight.

first of all good luck stripping Mariuz down to 265 pounds from like 320, he literally has to lose 25kg of muscle because if you've seen Mariuz without a shirt on, there's not much fat there.
Secondly being big and strong doesn't guarentee you success. Mariuz has no martial arts background and has been doing nothing but heavy weights since he was a boy, which is counter productive to your speed and mobility. People think Lesnar is just big and strong but he is a world class wrestler and was a collegiate heavyweight wrestling champion. Mariuz might be big and strong but that won't help if he cops a head kick from Cro Cop

Mariuz was a Boxer in his youth and has a brown belt in Kyokushinkai Karate and also play's Rugby Union in his spare time.

 

[tiburon]

he's had 1 fight in a Polish MMA promotion, but me thinks he'll end up in Pride due to the UFC's 265 pound weight limit

DREAM, PRIDE is gone unfortunately.

That was one of the best events i've ever been to live.

ding ding...... exactly. Not much of a background as lesnar when he started but he still has it. And how heavy was lesnar when he wrestled? probably about 320 or more. Although he did have roid fat to cut down.

Not a good athlete are you kidding me??? Do you even know who he is?

Same here, the atmosphere was amazing when sots took on joe daddy, awesome event, cant wait til they come back.

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

Ummm, yes. If you've got espn than you pretty much know who Super Mariusz is. From an athleticism stand-point, he doesn't even come close to matching Lesnar. You only have to watch Lesnar's WWE days to see what a tremendous all-round athlete he was. I'm not just talking strength, but speed, lateral movement, jumping etc.

Plus one of the main advantages Lesnar already had, as aqua duck said, was his strong amateur wrestling backround, which gave him a great base to build on. From what I've read, Mariusz has almost no wrestling back-ground, which will be a significant dis-advantage for someone of his size.

 

[aqua_duck]

Honestly its pointless comparing the 2, Mariuz will never be able to cut done to 265 and still maintain his strength. Lesnar is was about 280ish when he was in WWE, was billed as 300 pounds but WWE is famous for exaggeration, he weighs in at 265 but is probbaly closer to 275 by the time he enters the octogon. Lesnar has the perfect skillset for his body type, he's a monster in terms of size and is a world class wrestler. 4XL sized fists don't hurt either either does a 81 inch reach.

 

[Dirty Hoe]

jamie te huna is an athlete

fought so many fights after dislocating his shoulder, just puts it back in and gets going

fought and won at 110 with a broken arm...not sure you have seen the pictures, but the break was disgusting to see...now thats an athlete!!

a f**kin hardcore athlete!!

Agreed. It was f**king amazing.

We even had the $50 tickets, but f**k me I couldn't ask for a better view. We were second bay from the top but right at the front, we saw everything just about perfectly.

Although next time they come will definitely get in closer to feel the atmosphere even more.

I was in a corporate suit and it was amazing, awesome view, the atmosphere was insane. How nuts was everyone going for Wanderlei Silva

 

[Stonecutter]

Does anyone here actually train MMA and BJJ?

 

[pennywisealfie]

just got back from sydney. was an awesome event. I met George Sotiropoulos the day after.

was so dissappointing to see one of my all time faves (minotauro) go down like that. On the flip side, cain velazquez amazes and surprises me every time he fights, hes incredible.

I was so impressed with how knowledgable aussie MMA fans are. I loved how there were big cheers for BJJ moves, so awesome.

Bring the next aussie UFC to qld!!!!!!!

Mariusz Pudzianowski vs. Tim Sylvia set for April 23 in Boston

According to the bostonherald.com:

Pudzianowski has won the World’s Strongest Man title a record five times. The 33-year-old made his MMA debut in December and this show will mark his U.S. debut.

Also signed for the card are UFC veterans Rich Clementi, Yves Edwards and Houston Alexander.

"This will be the biggest card ever done, probably in the Northeast," said [promoter Corey] Fischer. "The UFC is coming here in August and they’re going to have a hard gate to beat. I think this fight card will be better than what they’re bringing."

"It’ll be on pay-per-view and shown live in Korea, Poland, Canada and about 14 other countries," said Fischer. "This will have more viewers than (the UFC’s) show."

As of now, Moosin will be the first big MMA organization to come to Boston. As announced earlier, Bellator Fighting Championships will head to the Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre on May 6 and the UFC makes its Massachusetts debut on August 28 at the TD Garden.​
