Former World’s Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski Will Fight at KSW 64 This Weekend

Mariusz Pudzianowski returns to battle at KSW 64.
Former World’s Strongest Man champion Mariusz Pudzianowski is ready to make his return to action at this weekend’s KSW 64. The strongman and mixed martial artist is set to make his return after a fifteen month lay off against the undefeated Serigne Osumane.
MMA has always been a wild and crazy world. Filled with fighters from all walks of life, you can always expect to see something different in the cage or ring. Athletes from a myriad of different backgrounds all come together to see who is superior on the night of the fight. It may be the only sport where you can see a high level athlete from a totally unrelated background compete at a high level.

Enter former World’s Strongest Man champion Mariusz Pudzianowski. The Polish strongman made the transition to mixed martial arts back in 2009 and has never looked back.
Mariusz Pudzianowski possesses the kind of otherworldly strength that has put the world on notice. You don’t win five World’s Strongest Man titles simply by luck. Mariusz clearly has always been a hard worker and his strongman victories prove that much.

Now twenty-three matches deep into his MMA career, we can firmly say that Mariusz Pudzianowski is a combat sports veteran.
Preparation
The former strongman competitor is now looking to compete for the twenty-fourth time at KSW 64. With hopes of dominating his foe, Senegalese heavyweight Serigne Ousmane, Mariusz has been putting in some serious training.

Could We See Mariusz Pudzianowski vs Hafthor Bjornsson in September?

Could We See Mariusz Pudzianowski vs Hafthor Bjornsson in September?

It looks as if we could be potentially getting closer to a Hafthor Bjornsson versus Mariusz Pudzianowski showdown. The rumored bout between the two former World’s Strongest Man champions was just that, a rumor. But it appears that Mariusz is adding fuel to the fire with a recent new post.
When 2017 World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall announced he was out of his September fight with Hafthor Bjornsson, a ton of fans were let down by the news. The two rivals had done a great job building anticipation for the bout. With both men training for two years to prepare for the showdown it appeared that they were treating this battle with full seriousness.

Then Eddie Hall suffered his unfortunate bicep tear.
Suffice it to say, it truly put a damper on things. With other fighters set to be on the card and wanting to do battle himself, Hafthor Bjornsson has expressed interest in remaining on the card. But if he were to remain, who would he fight?
Well it appears that the rumor is none other than former multiple-time World’s Strongest Man champion Mariusz Pudzianowski.
After dominating the competition throughout his strongman career, Mariusz Pudzianowski would move on to competing in mixed martial arts. Most of his matches would take place under the Polish KSW MMA promotions banner. Mariusz has recently been floating the idea of a match up between himself and Hafthor Bjornsson in place of the Eddie Hall bout. Mariusz took to Instagram to inform the masses that negotiations are on the table for the potential bout.

It’s getting closer to finalizing the contract! However, Poland and KSW are less complicated than the west. Slowly, it doesn’t matter if there will be this fight or not, but I have to be ready because anything can happen. I never “CHEAP LEATHER DOESN’T SELL $$$ !!!” @thorbjornsson @pudzianofficial When it comes to fruition it will be quite a challenge for hell !!!! ???? Only boxing and I am a boxer like a goat’s ass with a trumpet, and what am I going to pour and it hurts !!!!
Ps: If he hits, bert may drop me, but he has to hit and catch me ?????

This would be a pretty interesting replacement bout for the Eddie Hall fight. Mariusz Pudzianowski has his fair share of fight experience, albeit in MMA rather than boxing. That experience will translate over well in the ring. As for the Hafthor Bjornsson, his exhibition matches have done well to help him acclimate to the boxing ring. If this fight does indeed get signed we could see a rather entertaining showdown between two World’s Strongest Man champions to replace the other.
Would you tune in to see Hafthor Bjornsson versus Mariusz Pudzianowski?
