Worlds Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski is making his MMA debut. Hope he has the speed and agility to keep from being KOed. Is a novelty, but apparently Mariusz is a very good athlete with some quickness and agility. He has some Karate training, but if he could grapple i imagine he could submit a guy in a number of ways just by squeezing.
I'd watch him, but I don't expect he'll do well against a good fighter.
Always been a big fan of Pudzy and heard about this a couple weeks back. He`s still fairly young at only 32 years old, but there is a lot of wear and tear on his body and dont think he can stay healthy in the sport of MMA. I`ll be rooting for him, but like you, have my doubts on how well he will really do in MMA. He is going up against a pro boxer also making his MMA debut, so I`m sure he`s planning on the ole ground & pound.

Main card
Roy Nelson vs Brendan Schaub - Both can knock the other guy out. I'll go with the veteran via TKO in the 1st or 2nd.
Matt Hamill vs Jon Jones - Jones is crazy quick, but Hamill on the ground should take the victory via submission.
Kimbo Slice vs Houston Alexander - Who the fuck knows what's going to happen here. Should be two sluggers is a fist-fest, but Houston knows what to do on the ground. I hope Kimbo wins via KO, so I guess that's my prediction.
Frank Edgar vs Matt Veach - Edgar via DEATH! He's going to hurt Matt Veach.
Marcus Jones vs Matt Mitrione - He's starting his career pretty old, but Big Baby better knock Cry baby the fuck out! If not, snap his arm or ankle, that raspy-voiced bitch.
Preliminary Card
Darrill Schoonover vs James McSweeney - Idiot McSweeney looked good against Nelson, until the Englishman inside him took over. I'll say he smartens up and knocks Titties the fuck out.
Jon Madsen vs Justin Wren - Great matchup. Both will be swinging with intent, Wren has the advantage on the ground, which might be the difference.
Brian Stann vs Rodney Wallace - ?
John Howard vs Dennis Hallman - Jesus Christ, Hallman? Is this his 10th go-around with the UFC?
Mark Bocek vs Joe Brammer - I'll go the Canadian via submission.
