Mariusz Pudzianowski should be pronounced: /maryoosh poojanovski/

[TWinCombatSports]

oops...i knew i saying that wrong...sorry about that.

[mixmaster2669]

I know what you mean. Fedor vs Rogers, Shields vs Mayhem, Mousasi, Lawler, "Jacare" on CBS is better than several recent(not all) UFC PPV's.

[bagzie]

I can't wait to see Mariusz Pudzianowski in MMA. A lot of people will dismiss him as being a bodybuilder who can't fight....those people don't obviously know he's a black belt in kyoshin karate and kick-boxed professionally for 7 years. Combine that with the fact that he's one of the strongest motherfuckers who's ever lived, and you have one dangerous beast.

[akaweedman]

Any relation to Kenny Rice?

[roughryder9969]

why do you talk so fking slow??? no one has the patience to listen to your stupid ass

[gylai34]

Thanks for the detailed report!!!

[logjam8800]

The fight is going to be on CBS and on WatchMMAFree. com

[misstreeious]

[misstreeious]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHahahahaahaha­ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaaha­hahahahahahaaaa !lol

[shuriken86]

it still sux though

[ninjanerd8]

He only dropped the title, not the sport. Champions are required to defend their titles or forfeit them.

[shuriken86]

i hope Vera beats Randy, Couture is gonna be a bad name for the sport by getting brain damage cuz he wont stop fighting
