Pudzianowski vs Gracie

[RobP2]

Nice overhand right, looks like he caught him on the corner of the jaw

[Bhassler]

I's like to see Pudz against a higher quality of opponent. If it was me, for example, instead of just flopping down on the first good shot, I would've shit myself and spit teeth across the ring. That's the problem with MMA, these days-- no commitment.

[Wanderingdragon]

LOL, but true enough, the best way to beat a grappler is to not let have anything to grapple. Haha

Thanks for posting!

By the way, like a child walking into the middle movie you guys would probably be interested in knowing that dude beat Bob Sapp.

Then again who on RSF couldn't beat Bob Sapp?



Yeah, he's no fighter. Just a Gracie. LOL! I love martial art forums.

Now let the trash talking from behind the keyboards continue...

[Bhassler]

I don't think anyone has done any trash talking. Maybe read again a little slower?

I'm assuming anyone who's interested already knows that Pudzianowski is a former World's Strongest Man competitor. I don't know how his technique is, but I can't imagine wanting to go to the ground with him. I hope he gets a real opportunity to make it at the highest levels.

I am actually far more interested in seeing what a world-class strongman like Pudzianowski would do on the ground against a skilled grappler who has put him in a triangle or an armbar -- whether or not he can get out simply by using his superhuman strength.

Read slower, huh?

Can you do this to Bob Sapp?

Here is Rolles taking a knee from Bob Sapp.

No commitment huh?

You know what my favorite part of MMA is? That talk is cheap.

Personally, I think it's bunk when someone loses and everyone talks trash. I remember when Fedor first loss and everyone started trashing him as a fake. Such is the luxury of a keyboard...

[Kevin_Wallbridge]

Maybe its a language thing, however I read Bhassler's post as satirical. I thought his reply was clear enough. Saying that you would have been hurt worse is not really being a great keyboard warrior. Saying you would be spitting teeth and shitting yourself is the opposite of trash talk. You can see this right? Seriously grzegorz chill out. I don't see any need for you get defensive and take a stand to stop trash talking that isn't actually happening.

[grzegorz]

No thanks Kev, I have no reason to chill out.

Rolles isn't just another a Gracie. He's a bad ass on a losing streak, it happens.

The reason everyone loves a champion is because there can only be one. I have a lot of respect for these guys. The fact is they don't make that much and after they stop fighting they don't have much to show for it in comparison to other professional athletes yet they still do it anyway.

No one's getting defensive it just sounds to me that people don't know these fighters or their histories.

[Andy_S]

Damn, that punch from Pudz would have floored a herd of oxen. And the bloke looks like he is made of granite: Imagine accidently spilling his vodka in the bar...

Mind you, I am surprised Rolles did not see that coming. Boxers live for these kind of mighty swings. But even so. Damn...

Gracie was much more at home with Sapp. Is this recent? I didn't realize Sapp was back in the ring/cage.

Did you guys see Travis Brown vs Andre Arlovski at the weekend? Now that was a fight!!!!!

He doesn't look like he used to. With time his strength would have depleted like most mortals. Just look at Belfort even after the trt allegations. Plus it's likely he toned the "supplements" he was probably on when he competed in strong man.

Also he is training in grappling anyway so a little bit of both perhaps would be the answer.

[Bhassler]

Hey Grzegorz,

Kevin has it right, my post was meant as satirical. I'd probably be dead after that kind of shot-- Gracie was probably sitting behind a microphone 20 minutes later congratulating Pudzian on a good shot and hoping to get another chance at him. Unless they've actually had a chance to cross hands with one, I think most people have no idea the tremendous gulf that exists between professionals and amateurs. Even guys who are considered masters as part-time teachers and/or fighters would mostly be badly overmatched against even a second-rate professional (and I'm not saying the guys in the clip are second rate).

I have a great love for Strongman comps, so naturally Pudzian is one of my favorites. He's probably the only guy in the game right now that I'd actually pay to see.
