    Indeed a lot, how much weight do you think he would loose when he comes of them?

    No one can beat Brock. Brock is a wrestler! He fights for the UFC! He beat Randy couture! And Frank Mir!!! That makes him unbeatable


    Hey Bob Sapp beat Ernesto Hoost twice.. Not many people know that.

    Depends on the organisation and who's sanctioning it. There may be a limit on his weight there may not.. who knows..

    It was a joke, the point is he has a black belt, but he isn't Machida. Machida competed and won at the highest levels of the sport, Pudzianowski has not done anything close to that.

    The guy looks like he is going about this the right way; he realizes he has very little to offer in terms of skill, so he is joining a lower level league and working his game; good for him.

    To compare him to Lesnar though? Absolutely absurd. Lesnar had reached the top level possible in college wrestling, he had a real base to work on. Yes he has tremendous phsyical gifts, but he also had a high level of technical ability.

    For a Polish Comparison, Nastula is a much better comparison to Lesnar than Pudzianowski is. Nastula would take Pudzianowski down, maybe pound on his face for a bit, and perform whatever submission he wanted. Lesnar would do the same thing but with a quicker takedown, more savage beating and a worse subsmission if any.

    Strength has diminishing returns in terms of grappling; it helps of course, but if you have no technique you're going to be controlled by a much weaker guy. When the other guy is also a physical freak, you are going to be ragdolled.

    You can't believe with any seriousness that Pudzianoski, right now, would beat anybody in the UFC HW division?

    I was joking too...:D Nastula is one of the best Judoka's in the world. Lesnar wouldnt stand a chance with him. Im tired of hearing all this crap about his athleticsm and wrestling credentials. This is the same **** people were saying about Coleman and Kerr years ago. Brock will always look good beating up old men and the likes of Frank Mir. And guys like you will always be impressed with that.

    I wouldn't be surprised. Great genetics alone don't always produce monsters.

    Do you mean Lesnar or Pudzianowski?

    Kerr and Coleman were both dominant fighters as well; Coleman changed the sport as we know it.

    So beating Randy the UFC champion and Mir the UFC champion is not impressive? How is beating Sylvia and Arlovski any more impressive?

    Lets just look at their career paths:

    • Sylvia - dominated by Randy, beats Vera, loses to Nog, loses to Fedor, loses to Mercer.
    • Mir - Smashed by Vera, beats Hardonk, beats Lesnar, Beats nog
    • Arlovski - good winning streak, loses to Fedor, loses to Rogers
    • Randy - loses to Chuck and retires, comes back to dominate Sylvia, dominates Gonzaga, loses to Lesnar.
    So out of those 4, you are honsestly going to tell me Sylvia and Arlovski are the more respectable wins? Arlovksi I could buy; but Sylva lost one of the most one sided 5 round fights in history to Randy after he lost to nog.

    Do you just not see the failure of your logic? You discredit Mir because he is "inconsistent"? Look at AA. You call Randy old? He beat the **** out of Sylvia, who lost to another "old" guy in Nog, who Mir ****ing destroyed.

    I expect an emoticon and an insult, but truthfully, who do you believe has had the better wins in the 2 years? Fedor or Brock? It's obviously Brock.

    So you disrespect his opponents, but they clearly are better than Fedor's; it makes no sense.

    Mir got owned by Vera and Pe Da Pano. He then beats Brock by kneebar. He then beats up a shot Nog and gets smashed by Brock. Wheres the logic? Whats so great about that win because i dont see it at all. I see an inconsistent heavy who was overrated from the outset. I expected Brock to beat him the first time because physically Mir is a spent force. But that is all forgotten by guys like yourself while you swing from any wrestlers nuts.

    And Brock beating up Randy may impress a guy like you but not me. Randy is 46 years old. A blown up heavyweight who has always struggled with massive heavies. He did an excellent job on Tim and Gonzaga gave in when his nose got broke. Great wins but people like yourself get far to carried away with it. A man at 46 is living on borrowed time. Lets be real Randy was never a great heavyweight anyway. He has a near .500 record and UFC fans have been swinging from his ball sack since he came to the UFC. In my eyes he gets way to much adulation. A record of 4-1 in MMA means nothing to me. Il evaluate Brock properly when he's served his apprenticeship in this sport and not before.


    Now holes can be poked in anyones resume. But please do not try and find any comparison between Fedor and Brock. Lets put that one to bed right now as it wasnt raised has nothing to do with this thread and Brock is certainly not comparable to Fedor.

    Brilliant:

    Guy A beats the **** out of Guy B, but guy B is the better opponent to have on your record.

    Guy A beats the **** out of Guy B, Guy C loses to guy B, but guy C is also the better opponent.

    I knew he was a black belt in something, I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows Pudzianowski and he has been training for MMA, he is going to be a very dangerous guy, but he better keep his hands up, guys with really big arms are weak against high kicks.

    Coleman was ok, his biggest win was against Dan Severn, and he totally got owned by Pete Williams.

    I respect Randy Coture the man and all he has done for the sport, but he is a overrated fighter. Mir's win over Nog was impressive, i especially liked the way he fought Southpaw to win the fight, but lets be honest the guy is inconsistent, i saw the Ian Freeman fight and he never looked like he showed up.

    I rate Heath Herring as a very good / soild fighter so i will give Brock crdit for that win.so i think Brock isnt a proven fighter just yet... so he is not a proven champion.

    The difference between Brock and Fedor is Fedor has beaten pretty much all of the best HW in the world over the last 8 years.

    Coleman was "ok"? That's it?

    First Pride GP winner, beat a prime Igor easily, effectively ended Goes' career, managed a win over Shogun (not his fault Shogun made a rookie mistake) when he was clearly well past his best. But he was "ok"?

    Unbelievable some of the revisionist history and just general hating I see on here.

    Hes fighting a Polish Heavyweight Boxer named Marcin Najman. Hes not_good_at_all.

    Najman sucks... Even a inexperienced Pudzian should whoop his ass.

    I can't wait for this, hopefully they get odds for this bad boy. Gut feeling the stupid bookies will be going 50/50 type matchup on their odds too, which it shouldn't be really..! Heh, im gonna put 3 hundred at least for sure.

    Pudzian is going to chokeslam Najman.

    The Polish fans, and even the American Worlds Strongest Man fans are interested in him....so he can generate a good amount of money.

    Newspaper today:

    [url]http://www.se.pl/rozrywka/plotki/pudzian-i-najman-pobili-sie-w-knajpie_105285.html[/url]

    after he beats Najman, who knows if maybe he looked good enough doing so, he can further a tad bit in his MMA career...
