I ahve watched Marius over the years and he is a beast but picking stuff up is not the same when someone is punching you or trying to sub you!
Lets hope he gets some decent training in first

I agree, he does have a boxing backround, I honestly believe that for a guy as strong as pudzianowski all he would need to have some success in mma is take down defense. I think he could power out of any sub attempted by any fighter.
I may be getting carried away with this, I also have watched him compete a bit over the years, and the guy is a true freak of nature, makes brock look like a wimp.
I'll call it now, the first official (legit) death in mma to be handed out by Pudzianowski.

This guy sure is getting a ton of hype for doing nothing. He'll be crushed if he gets anywhere near a c-level fighter.

Pudzianowski is a freak of nature. Plus ive seen him shadow box an be able to throw a high kick bout 6'. taking a head kick from him would be death. Not to mention he is a former rugby player so his cardio shouldn't be a problem. also he has had a background in boxing, kickboxing and karate.

I think he will go on a serious run of KO victories. The power he has is crazy, blocking his punches with your arms isn't going to help much.
Although weighing 285, I can't see many legit contenders facing him. Japan will probably be the moneymaker for him.

I want to see this chap have a few victories, and come over to the UFC.
It could then almost be possible to create a super heavy weight class as there might be enough contenders.
But more then that, if Carwin does not do it ( which I think he might) this man could reshape lesnar's face nicely .

His first 3 opponents should be:
Nortje
Sapp
Sparks
Interested to see him fight, but doubt he will have too much success. SHW pretty much only have Japan...and not much competition in that class

But I sure he could cut the 20 lbs to make 265

Maybe but there is not a whole lot of fat on Mariusz so I don't know. It will be interesting to see what happens and who he fights

This is pretty interesting to me, Pudzianowski is huge. I have seen him in the World's Strongest man and they guy is a freak of nature. Also, unlike most of the strong men, he is actually in shape. As people have already mentioned he prectices Kyokushin karate and was a long time boxer. For some reason I don't really think that cardio will be much of a problem for this guy. If he could get into a solid gym and possible cut a little weight, the guy could be an animal.
