Pudzian got paid 110k for this fight so people say he should stick to strongman… very few strongmen have made 110k in one year in prize money.
I knew he would get a lot but 110k I was surprised by. Timmie got 50k btw

If that is true, it was probably heavily weighing on his decision to take this fight.

especially since he just fought about 2 weeks prior to this fight…

I’ll give my 2 cents on the running cardio debate. I was a swimmer, and it’s pretty much the same situation. In the swimming world there is a lot of debate about the use of dry land conditioning.
Endurance training improves multiple mechanisms to make you better at performing an aerobically intense activity for extended time.
There are general improvements that any form of conditioning can improve. Things along the lines of lung capacity/efficiently, or cardiovascular output. Essentially making your body better at absorbing and transporting oxygen. These things can be trained doing something like running.
However, there are a number of other improvements that are local to specific muscles being used in an activity. Like increase in capillary density, or an increase in mitochondria within a cell. These improvements only benefit endurance activities using particular muscles.
All this to say, it depends on the individual and what their weak and strong points are in regard to conditioning. If a Persons VO2 max sucks, and that makes them tire, running could help a lot. BUT all the running in the world isn�¢??t going to help arm endurance if the problem is in the specific structure of the arms.
The benefit to using an out of sport movement to train the general mechanisms of conditioning is that there is a limit to the amount of work you can do in sport. Putting in an extra hour swimming laps may make you too sore to effectively practice tomorrow, but you could go run, increase your work capacity, and not needlessly increase the work volume on muscles you need to practice.
This is just the reasoned opinion of a former swimmer, so take it as you will.
Oh, and watching the fight, I just can’t help but feel Human lungs and a heart aren’t meant to support that much muscle.

In high school we trained twice a day, int he morning and afternoon for wrestling. The morning was mostly weights, sprints, running, etc - basic workout type B.S. I am sure it helped in some ways. Int he afternoon we wrestled…and wrestled and wrestled. that took out of me more than anything we did in the morning. That was what prepared me for the hard matches.
Since then I have also trained in BJJ and other martial arts and this is what I have found. Strong is good and one should train to be so, but also train for all the other reasons one might train. But you MUST train to fight (lots of sparring) if you want to be able to fight for long periods of time under tough conditions. I once wrestled for fun a friend of mine who never wrestled before. He was very fit in every since of the word - but wrestling took him out of his element and he did not know how to be efficient on the ground. Therefore even though he was very fit and strong - it was all “used up” in a few minutes because he did not know how to efficiently exert himself. I have seen this many times. It is the same for other sports…take a very fit athlete that doesn’t know how to swim and throw him in the water…he won’t last but a few minutes before he is so exhausted he drowns…
So I propose for Maruisz: more sparring; and some “skilz” work obviously…

Yeah, I hear you. I think it even goes beyond the technique though when talking about actual competition. It’s just being loose. My problem with swimming early was just “tightening up” in a race. I’d die at about 50 yards even though I’d swim much longer sprints in practice. And there’s really not a cure for that than more competition experience.

www.middleeasy.com said that a Pudzian vs Kimbo fight is being worked out under a unknown promoter. haha
