Bob sapp easily gets exhausted, and does not know how to fight, over the years still No progress he needs to retire
When did he conquer the MMA world? Must have missed that, along with the rest of the universe
просто смешно. чего добились бы эти "стронг мены" без своей фармы? попросту деградирующее общество обезьян.
mariusz is 46
Hes amazing 5 WSM and now again hes the Champion
I remember being enamored by Marius as a kid watching Strong Man competitions. He was ripped compared to everyone else and won the most titles in history.
Agreed!!
Agree!!! I must mention one brave stud up against all odds The General Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan true honor. Best Mens on the planet to many cowords wear mask fight the wrong fight not for freedom.
Same here, I remember he had veins on his veins.
Dude was always beating the larger competitor’s & was a staple w/strongman for years 👊👍
Got me into training strong man in my early and mid 20s. Truly one of the greatest athletes in history.
This man is 46 and still kicking ass… What a Legend 👑 !
Unstoppable roid rage.
Retirement got boring.
Speed leaves you first. Power leaves last. 9:30
Roids a nd a dick to wag on the side. Mate lets go sail.
Most of guys with so much steroids would be same.
You can tell when Mariusz lands a punch it really hurts. The shock on the opponents is obvious
Getting kicked by someone that could deadlift 400+kgs probably didn't feel amazing either
We love him in Poland. He’s also very humble, self made and patriotic. ❤
Also a titan of work. He is a human to look up to.
0:52 humble right...
@@cernugaming haha how does it prove he's not humble? Have you taken into account he's about to fight in a cage? A little showoff doesn't mean you're not humble. If you knew Polish and would watch any interview with Mariusz you would he's one of the most humble guys out there.
where you ever seen non patriotic polish??? If in your country would live 2 polish people-your country would be forced to speak polish, have street signs in polish and schools in polish.
@@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatbetter than where I live, where I can't read 30% of the shop signs because it's either Arabic or Cyrillic. Being patriotic is nothing bad as the world map can show us, look at the countries that are the most liberal.
Real life Hercules ! Great shape great strength and athleticism!! Unmatched in strong man !!! 5 titles says it all! 👑
@GENETIC BEAST even with all the serious he's taking this is still incredible
Not even close buddy but alright😂
@GENETIC BEAST if this is what u see it says it all about u… it must be very painful for u to see someone chasing his greatness while u got bunch of excuses, jealousy and envy is rotting u from inside but that’s typical for “Karen” type of people
100% True. Brian shaw the best US strongman till date using the technological might of US could not achieve it. That explains how great Marius is.
@@kachchhimaadu8933 HGH or "whatever he's using" helps big men get bigger, insecure humans use injections for mass size.....Insecurities, they plague the bodybuilding beasts !! Truth, it matters.....Just saying.
I can’t even imagine voluntarily stepping in the ring with this guy, I’d be afraid I wasn’t leaving.
No top-tier MMA fighter would fear that guy. He was a Can-Crusher.
Wondering how he can be negative at the drug tests
nothin but a juice head 💉
@@Godson0771 your mother would make him his morning coffee after a long night with her
@@Godson0771he’s a strongman what do you expect
He is such a great man especially outside of sport. He graduated in a Masters Degree in international relations and had his thesis published. He’s a business man, setting up a school to train security guards, a part time musician in a bad and plays rugby amateur league as a hobby. Someone anyone could look up to.
Ashol too
I've watched this guy Marius win the World's Strongest Man 5 times. He's a true monster and super strong! Amazing fighter too. Wow!
I’m really happy for Mariusz, hes a great guy, and quite a rare and exceptional sportsman. He is not the worlds best fighter by any means and he still makes many amateur mistakes. But his strong mind, and determination to succeed has turned the old stereotype of musclemen being useless fighter’s completely on its head. Even his stamina, patience and ringcraft has improved beyond recognition. I wish him greater success and hopefully soon a comfortable retirement fight package 🙏🏽
Seen another Polish strong man (i think he was Polish) in the Russian slapping tournaments. He's a bald guy, a bit fat but defo muscled up and he packs one of the hardest slaps i've ever seen. By far one of the heaviest guys there, but his speed even puts the lightest guys there to shame.
Nah, I grew up watching strongman and him and Jon Paul were rare ones. The way they made certain events seem effortless. It doesn’t surprise me that he is good at mma.
@@user-ew5ef9xd1s yeah I remember Sigmarsson, he was exceptionally strong. Pity he passed away so tragically, whilst deadlifting apparently.
May be the most athletic strongman to ever exist 🤷🏽
@@andresvalverde5182 Yes, it was Zales
This guy is like in his 50s beating up younger guys. Impressive athletic specimen
He’s 46 years old. But yeah, he’s a freak of nature!
Избивает тех кто не входит в 10 лучших о чем ты шепчешь ?
He is 46.
Yea what an athletic specimen 💉
not just a good fighter but fair and respectfull - appreciate this guy !
My favorite Worlds Strongest Man Champ. He dominated the WSM championships for 5 straight and would have won 6 if he hadn't thought he had it sown up and relaxed during the final event.
I remember way back in the day watching him on worlds strongest man. Just destroy the competition in almost every feet of strenth. Man is a true legend.
Pudzian is real deal, calling him ,,raw power’’ just scratches the surface. If he only started his MMA career 10 years earlier he could achieve a lot more! He is also educated successful businessman!
Wat? His first debut was 14 years ego!
If he was off the juice 💉 he would get his ass whooped. Mfrs a can 🥫
Yeah but at 31 years old.
The lightweight MMA fighters would fly out of the octagon with his single punch.
He is one of the greatest athletes of all time
Yes is agree he is one the greatest athletes!
Not in mma though🤷♂️
Not even close. He's shit
Met him several times whilst doing the strong man events at Scottish Highland games events... Such a strong all athlete...
He’s got that trip em while he’s pushin em backwards move down!! What a beast!! I used to love watching him on WSM.
I've always been a fan of Mariusz. He's a great athlete. He's not the most technical fighter, but his raw power and strength make up for it. He's naturally strong. I don't think there's any UFC/MMA fighter is as strong as him.
imagine if this guy fighted in his 20s and 30s
Idk about natural lmao
"naturally strong" are you kidding? By the way NGannou would pretty sure knock him out in the first round.
@@poserbob6888 I knew someone would say that.
@@poserbob6888Yes he of course has taken steroids..but plenty of people take steroids and don't come close to being "5x world strongest man" strong.
Surprised at how fast Mariusz is. I was expecting slow, grab and brutal slow kinda fights, but he has quick hands, accurate etc. And he seems to literally have hammer fists.
If you followed his Strongman carreer, you knew that he is very fast.
& surprisingly high fight iq
He is fast the first couple of minutes then he runs outta breath!!!
He was probably the fastest strong men ever and back then strongman tournament was about speed and strength.
@@jccuchvjvj he has never fought a real professional fighter! He has conquered the amateurs!
Great memories of Strong Man competition.
Come on he deserves total respect. God bless you sir ❤
Butterbean on the ground ain’t never getting up.
this man is a legend not only is insanely strong he has impressive cardio for a man of his size
No. Someone with that much muscle mass SIMPLY does not have good cardio. There is no way around it. It's a formula. No way to defeat it. The only way to defeat it, is to do INSANE amounts of cardio--to the point where you have less mass. Then you're not actually defeating the formula. That much muscle....burns XX amount of oxygen. No way around it.
i remember watching this legend on eurosport dominatin the world,and now he is kicking asses,what a guy!
What made him a great strongman was his leaness and speed. It was great for those carrying races. Even in his fights you can see his urgent explosiveness.
Polish Machine!
That uppercut k.o is about as close to the perfect uppercut k.o as you're gunna see! Beautifully timed, dude went straight to the respawn screen haha.
The Polish giant Mariusz Podzianowski is an elite athlete. This guy has an unbroken Guinness Book of World Records held 5 times as the world's strongest man.
I wouldn’t call him a giant , in WSM he was always one of the smaller contestants.
@@ultrasmagowski2877 6 foot 1.28 inches bro... small compared to some giants...thor, big bad boi Brian shaw, stoltman brothers, ....wsm has all various events because on some events it's better to be smaller, like dead lift, or shoulder press,, less distance to push, that's why thor not the pressing king.....end of day all brilliant,, but which is better,, anabolic steroids or tranquilizers.... only one way to find out......FIGHTTTTTT. 😂😂😂😂
Het sucks at MMA though.
@Hammie Hamster he came to it late, after becoming the most successful wsm ever. It's unbelievable what he's achieved
@@hammiehamster9933 No he doesn’t , he is doing Ok , 17-8 . His takedowns are weak , he is brawling too much .
It is very interesting to see the difference between power and technique!👍🏻💪
This man is a force of nature!
I cant believe he does this now. I remember watching him years ago in strong man being totally blown away. Hes an absolute lunatic!
I remmember seeing his first fights in MMA and it was painful to watch, just terrible technique he was visibly scared of being hit etc. But after those years you can now really see that he´s improved A LOT. Taking to consideration his exceptional strongman career he is really freak of nature.
He said someone offered him a lot of money for some freak show and he agreed. Went in completely unprepared
💉💉💉
@@Godson0771 cope you're all in the comments crying 😂😅
@@Godson0771 of course he is pumped, but who isn't in this sport?
Sempre più forte ❤
I really hope he gets a world class boxing coach, imagine the punches this mountain could throw. He has incredible power dude, when he has his opponent on the ground his punches could be way more devastating besides that he got everything you need to become a champion.
What a Animal always looked upto him as the World's strongest man and he was in a league of his own explosive power and ripped like a body builder! And to go on in MMA and kick arse..... Respect 💪💥
This is one of thee best athletes and human specimens in recorded history in sports . No doubt. Top 5 or more.
Lmao not even in the top 100
Great Martial Artist 🙏
I can’t imagine anybody surviving a solid hit from this man…
I’d rather take one from him than somebody like NGannou
@@MakinaMakinaMakina I could live without that, too. Frankly, I think Ngannou dials down his punches from “death power” to “knockout power.”
Ngannous full power deffo will unalive you
Plenty will. In fact he didn't win almost any bouts by a 1 hit KO. He takes down people and ground and pounds them. Also he's clearly juiced to the gills. But if gets hit by Ngannou he will literally go into the shadow realm.
@@DelvingDeeper He’s strong enough to have fearsome striking power, juiced or not. But Ngannou is on an entirely different level…I think he pulls his punches to avoid killin’ dudes.
he's incredibly skilled in MMA for a strongman, his boxing is - although a bit wild - pretty effective. He has solid leg kicks and nice defensive reactions aswell. Then, it really was the most mezmerizing thing to me, he has very solid takedowns. Both in effectivness aswell as technic. I didnt expect him to shoot for a perfect single- leg! thats for sure. Further his ground and pound is decent aswell. But what really shocked me the most, was his fight IQ. What how, when bob sapp stood on one leg to defend the incomming barage of shots, he instantly ducked under, grabbed legs and tookhim down. This read of the situation was probably faster than of compairable UFC fighters! Awesome!
dude got a very good work ethic, he really tried to learn technique. It's not easy to do as a 30+ years old guy, but he got it pretty well.
That was the goal of his fighting, bring somebody down and just hammer them. It sounds easy to do but he really did train hard to achive those techniques. We still can see that his body can't hold the 3rd round, whatever repplay was here it basically looked like a punch without any soul put into it but of course it was just exhaustion. Also before he was a strongman he used to street fight a lot as he was a body guard in some clubs he lived in, I'd guess that's where the wildness comes from
This guy pulls trucks for a hobby? You go down when he wants you to, I would assume.
@@the_cosmic_giggle Not sure to whom was that, but I would not mess with him in a closed space, I can outrun him but definitely not beat him on a fist fight lol
"This read of the situation was probably faster than of compairable UFC fighters!" Woah, slow down there, buddy.
He was probably the only one to ever pick up Butterbean and throw him down.
He did Sapp bad too lol
the dude even before becoming the World's Strongman champion was a bodybuilder. So aesthetics + strenght like no one + killer fighting instinct.
He will kill any light mid weight fighter
And a student. Man has a masters degree in international relations.
Love watching the world strongest man competition watch like 10 years in a row
I always rooted for him, in my opinion, there was no better strongman. His records have not been beaten by current strongmen who, in comparison to Mariusz, are just overweight. As for MMA, Mariusz didn't have too many serious opponents, and those he fought with who had some fight titles lost. Nevertheless, he deserves admiration because at the age of 46, he achieved everything and this guy is still fighting and now he is fighting with much better opponents than himself. Here is his record: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariusz_Pudzianowski"
WOW! The power is unbelievable.
People don’t realize how hard that guy punches. Yes technique matters, but when you are that strong, it actually make up for it in many ways. 1 tapped Gracie
That Gracie didn't even try to bring him to the ground. It was like a boxer deciding not to box.
He doesn't hit that hard by HW standards. That's not what he's known for at all.
Also if he takes you to the ground you're done. He can literally carry 200kg stones. Every muscle in his body is built like a tank lol. If he's on top of you just give up at taht point.
@@djo-dji6018 ... that Gracie had no choice, that Gracie was on the losing team from the start. Even if he hadnt pounded that Gracie head, have you ever tried to get an arm lock on the worlds strongest man?
@@stokiemanbrent4200 Dunno man, all his hits seem to impact his opponents greatly. More than many other heavyweights.
A man that strong and that big swinging for the fences at you. That's just terrifying.
Appreciate this guy !
One of the greatest athletes on the planet. Szacunek Panie Mariuszu!
I remember this champion as a young kid growing up he was my favorite strongman 🎉
Sheer brute force with overwhelming intensity, wonderkin!!!!!
That man is a legend
Imagine him with Emelianenko skills 😳
Frightening idea 👍😃
Ever watched Dragon Ball? ;p
Magnifique 💪💪💪💪
He was my favorite strong man. This guy ran when others crawled. Amazing
I wondered how I never heard of this guy since he conquered the MMA World. I looked him up on Wikipedia to see his fighting record. He's 17-8 in Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki (KSW). The highest MMA league in all of Poland. I'm not sure I would agree that he has conquered the MMA world.
Yeah. More like strong man competitions back in the day. He is a "soso" fighter..
Total joke of an mma fighter hence why he's stayed in Poland
I was thinking the same.
@@mikef3655 he won few fights in mma - mosly highlated wins in poland overall he was just decent and medicore in wolrd of mma - but he was the icon of strongman so ..... legend strong mand competes in mma* lets make sme money
@@skip1860 For a close to zero technique guy to win from heavy weights at all is insane. Just shows how much of an advantage being strong is. Usually you could never close the technique gap!
This guy is a beast, accomplish alot in his lifetime. What a Legend 👏👏👏👏👏
💉💉💉
@@Godson0771 go juice and accomplish anything he's done. Steroids aren't some magic serum.
Gotta Love ButterBean though !!!! Pudzianowski has always been a Beast !!
Maurice has always been amazing to watch no matter what he does, I’ve been a fan since day 1
Legenda!
I can only imagine how thick his bones and tendons are from all of the power lifting, let alone the strength. The man is swinging sledgehammers.
Is this what we have to a real life Batman? Looks like a bodybuilder, is a 5 x world's strongest man, and is a competent mixed martial artist. He also did time for punching a mafia boss. Man needs his own movie or something for sure
Mariusz, a guy you want on your team in a zombie apocalypse
Awesome athlete.
What a beast! I was a bodybuilder and power lifter for many years, as well as a boxer! I trained with all the best! They always said "THE BIGGER THEY ARE THE HARDER THEY FALL" Well that might be true, however when you have skills and power like this cat, well school is out for summer! A cross over champ! What a beast! I wouldn't ever get in a ring, or challenge him in either sport! Even in my prime! I like my face and my body parts just where they are ! Dad always said the head and body was not meant for this! And he was a boxer and played AAA baseball! He was so right! RIP Pop! Thanks for the 411 on that!!!!! And I was six foot two and 256 pounds in my day! Wow now I just want to drink my tea and hug my pillow! Thanks for letting me share! Peace and love to all! Later people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because you've been fed with loads of bullcrap your whole life. People are envious and afraid of big strong men so they will tell a lot of crap about them. How bigger a guy is, how LESSER THE CHANCE HE WILL FALL! Why do you think there are weight classes in boxing hmmm?
@@greekwarrior5373 Thanks for the comment! I too am Greek! Ya'Sou!!!
it just so happens that I am Polish and I know Mariusz personally and it is exactly as you wrote it Titan of work, everyone goes on vacation and he goes to the gym, others go to parties and he goes to mma training. I greet you 💪👋
@@wolfgrand579 Thanks for the comments! My best to you and yours!
I mean, if you’re bigger than your opponent you’ll usually beat the shit out of them, but if you do get slammed it will hurt a lot more because you’re a hell lot heavier
Can't believe I never heard of him 😑 dudes a monster
man! true warrior!
Few realize pudzian trained martial arts before strong man and continued to train it somewhat during his strong man career dude spent time in prison for beating up a local Mafia boss and stealing his chain pudzian has always been that guy
Imagine the bone density in Mariusz's shins? Thai Kickboxers wouldn't even want to get leg kicked by this guy, even if one was in his weight class.
Loved watching him in the WSM events! That overhand right @ 4:20…..wow.
Mariusz was fucking hilarious chasing that bloke around the ring kicking his arse.
Pudzian mentioned in interview that he is not such a great MMA fighter, lifting heavy all his life made his muscles not good for punching. He had interview about how it started and someone offered him a lot of money to start in the event. He joked saying if you pay me 3 times that money I will (he was sure they will say no as it was enormous amount back in the time), and they rang him back later and agreed :D
he is built like a tank
He should be in Hollywood motion pictures
To be one of the strongest men on the planet and a fierce mma fighter is a seriously dangerous combo
Pudzian was a beast. If not for injury, he would have had even more titles in Strongman....easily.
I would give up just knowing im going to fight this man
Skill and technic and mobility agility wise he has a lot to learn. He fights like intermediate fighter.
Great fighter! Love him!
Mantap, petarung petarung yang sangat tangguh
A guy like him with minimal wrestling skills will be a great problem to any elite fighter cause of his insane strenght and conditioning.
He cant compete with top level wrestlers/bjj guys with boxing skills. He’s fighting tomato cans
This guy doesn't need technique his brutal strength is enough to bring down even the most technique fighters
Wow! A total beast made of steel!
Brawo Mariusz !
Profesjonalny bokser Marcin Najman 😁😁😁
What an odd fighter! Dude doesnt really have good technique but his ability to leverage that strength is amazing
Ha I remember watching him in the strong man competitions when I was a kid, he always seemed to stand out, just now found out he is a MMA fighter, this guy is a BEAST
Wouldn't it be bad ass if Mariusz returned to world strongman and won his 6th title😮
m×s=F Парень здоров как бык и очень быстр для своей массы! Отсюда и нокауты) Пришёл в этот спорт поздно конечно, но огромное уважение вызывает!
Да. Мясо проработано на 110%. Силы просто вагон. Причём именно взрывной. Отлично соображает что нужно делать. Наш Миша наверное Пудзяновского насмотрелся.
@@Ewgen-t. ну тут Миша явно не туда попал))) А мужик реально уникум,всё таки годы уже... Мог бы в ММА карьеру сделать если бы начал хотя-бы лет в 20!
Think this proofs that strength can def help in kicking ass. I was so tired of hearing people saying that bodybuilder and strongman don't stand a chance against an amateur fighter, yes they do.
a Strongman isnt just a Bodybuilder!
Gotta love his punches which don't necessarily use knuckles for point of impact. It's like wrecking ball from every direction like the upper cut(if you can call it that really) against Materla. Just squeeze your fist as hard as you can and let it swing, destruction guaranteed
No he just can't throw a punch 😂😂
He cant punch man 😅
Maybe 😂 But damage it does 😁
Most fights don't get stopped as fast as his with the huts thrown but i bet the refs know how much power is behind those hits. Crazy power😮
Strongmen require insane amounts of strength and a high level of muscle endurance. This is a perfect mixture of athleticism for a heavyweight fighter.
Thanks
Νo matter who you are you can only defeat him with skills no chance of overpowering him that alone must be terrifying for anyone going against him, a mistake might cost you a lot even if you are steps above him
Who told you raw strength is not a factor in MMA?
Very Strong , and can Boxing , nice to See ! Hello From Finland
Man...this dude explodes on his opponents like dynamite. His punches are gonna hurt real bad. 🤜😫
Strong man competition and mma . Mario might be the manliest man that has ever lived .
...in which Chuck Norris replied, "Hold my beer."
