Sylvia undoubtedly considering about his postfight lobster dinner

Make all the jokes you want about Tim Sylvia's ample assemble now. We know he's not a training warrior, pulling trains and lifting Atlas stone. But he's even now an skilled mixed martial arts fighter with 31 fights under his belt and a previous UFC champion. Mariusz Pudzianowski, a several-time World's Strongest Gentleman champ, is acquiring an awful large leap of faith in Friday night's fight at Moosin in Worcester, Massachusetts.

This is obviously a payday for Sylvia, who hasn't even been tempted to speak trash about the Polish strongman.

"I'm seeking forward to receiving some beneficial lobster despite the fact that I'm up the following," stated Sylvia, a native of Eastbrook, Maine. "Can't get that sort of stuff in Iowa."

Through an interview previous week with MMAWeekly, host Damon Martin could scarcely get a rise out of Sylvia. "The Maine-iac" quietly predicted a first-circular knockout. He has small respect for the a couple of- Pudzianowki.

"I believe it's a dumb move," Sylvia mentioned. "He doesn't have any combat expertise at all."

Pudzianowski picked up that minute earn very last week more than Yasute Kawaguchi. He mostly looked awful while in the unanimous selection earn in Poland. He was clumsy when standing and was out of vitality three minutes into the beat.

The six-foot- 8, 300-pound Sylvia has knockout electrical power and a very composed striking game has a right to be comfortable. Of course, he was also this positive for his fight versus 48-365 days-outdated retired boxer Ray Mercer and acquired knocked out in eight seconds. There isn't significantly possibility of getting caught by the six-1, 300- pound Pudzianowski but he does have to be wary of the massive man's electrical power in the clinch. Bettors don't seem to be as well involved about who seems improved at the beach as they've bet Sylvia from minus-180 to minus-310.

Moosin: Polish strongman yields to ex-UFC champ Sylvia; Modafferi beats LaRosa

Fewer than 7 mins into his third mixed martial arts bout, the previous World's Strongest Guy couldn't acquire it any extra.

Stuck beneath former UFC champion Tim Sylvia on the soil, Mariusz Pudzianowski (2-one) tapped out soon after consuming many appropriate hands on Friday at the Moosin God of Martial Arts demonstrate in Worcester, Mass. The end came one:43 into the moment rounded.

It was the next consecutive succeed for Sylvia (26-six) soon after a two-yr stretch that saw him reduce four of 5 fights. "I'm back now," Sylvia said. "I've been back again."

Moosin promoted the combat as a analyze involving the expertise and dazzling savvy of Sylvia, twice a UFC heavyweight champion, alongside the brute force of Pudzianowski, a 5-time winner of the World's Strongest Gentleman competition. But it was Pudzianowski's cardio conditioning that allow him down.

Fighting in his native Poland a couple of weeks back, Pudzianowski appeared to tire out as he struggled to a conclusion earn. It occurred yet again tonight.

Pudzianowski from the start out searched for to clinch with his opponent and seem for takedowns, but Sylvia stuffed most of his tries. The extended wrestling sequences drained the muscular Pudzianowski, who determined himself thrown to the soil and hoping to survive Sylvia's soil-and-pound attack in the last moment of the opening game.

Barely a minute into the next game, Pudzianowski flopped to the terrain after Sylvia obtained near and simply place a hand on him. Sylvia speedily place himself in part command, spun throughout to the other part and begun dropping appropriate hands until eventually Pudzianowski submitted.

Even though Sylvia outlasted his opponent on Saturday, the 34-12 months-previous UFC veteran even now seems far from the health place of his prime as a 265-pound champion. Sylvia officially weighed in Friday at a flabby-shopping 305 pounds.

Also on the Moosin card, heavy underdog Roxanne Modafferi (15-5) avenged a 2006 reduction by using a unanimous choice over Tara LaRosa (18-a couple of) in 130-pound catchweight battle between prime- three female fighters.

Modafferi frequently managed LaRosa on the mat and threatened her with a unsafe-shopping triangle choke in the last spherical. Modafferi also showed vastly enhanced dazzling, stopping LaRosa in her tracks extra than after with strikes, and dropping her one time with a punch.

LaRosa came out to are available close to pulling out a be successful late in the struggle with when she unleashed a flurry of punches that sent Modafferi reeling and tumbling to the environment. But as LaRosa jumped atop her seeking a knockout, Modafferi rapidly threw up her legs for a triangle choke that pressured LaRosa on the defensive.
