The fight will mark his entrance into U.S. MMA against two-time UFC champion Sylvia.
“People always underestimate me and they always pay for it. No matter what the opinions of these so-called experts are, it makes no difference to me. I will destroy Yosuke Kawaguchi on May 7 in Poland, and I will win the fight on May 21 against Tim Sylvia. Just watch me do it, and enjoy,” said Pudzianowski.
“This whole MMA ranking stuff is a big pile of B.S. Everybody is in such love with Brock Lesnar, who came from nothing, zero MMA experience, and now he’s considered one of the best? He fought only five times and is now considered Mr. Untouchable? Why not me then?”
- Mariusz Pudzianowski
As usual, one of the most popular Poles in the world and five-time World’s Strongest Man competition winner pulled no punches.
“When I announced that before Sylvia I would fight Kawaguchi, people said that I was crazy. They don’t understand that fighting is the easiest part of my schedule. I start running at 7 a.m., then another couple of hours boxing with big guys to prepare for Sylvia. Then, a short break and more work in the afternoon,” he recounted.
“Most likely, I will start preparing myself for Tim 48 hours after the fight in Katowice. Depending on how my bloody knuckles and legs look after the beating I want to administer to Yosuke, maybe even earlier. I hate breaks, and I love to work. Fighting Kawaguchi two weeks before my fight against Sylvia makes me a better MMA fighter and will give me another dimension on May 21. Yosuke is not a sparring fight by any means, I treat this with all the attention it deserves.”
One question you should not ask “Pudzian” is how he, the man with only two MMA fights under his belt, can challenge Tim Sylvia, a former two-time UFC heavyweight champion with 31 fights on his resume.
“Nobody knows how hard I’m preparing myself. I’m training with the best Polish wrestlers; these are top guys. It’s easy to do when you’re not fighting for money – I’m already a very wealthy guy with a secured future – but for the love and new challenge, and always for my fans, here in Poland and abroad. I would never, repeat never, start fighting in MMA if I didn’t believe I could be the best. First Kawaguchi, then Sylvia – sorry guys, you are in my way,” said Pudzianowski.
