Mariusz Pudzianowski

Mariusz Pudzianowski was born in Biała Rawska, Poland. His father, Wojciech, was a weightlifter. Pudzianowski quickly became interested in sports. Since the age of 11, he has been training the Kyokushin style of karate. His current grade is 4th kyu green belt.{{cite web |url= https://bleacherreport.com/articles/298730-mariusz-pudzianowski-the-strongest-man-and-the-greatest-sport|title= Mariusz Pudzianowski: The Strongest Man and the Greatest Sport|author= Flying Knee|date= 28 November 2009|website= Bleacher Report|publisher= |access-date= |quote=Pudzianowski has trained in Kyokushin Karate since he was eleven, and is currently a fourth kyu green belt.}}{{cite web |url= https://www.espn.com/blog/mma/post/_/id/623/rossen-polish-strongman-mariusz-pudzianowski-talks-mma-debut|title= Polish strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski talks MMA debut|last= Rossen|first=Jake |date=17 September 2009 |website= ESPN|publisher= |access-date= |quote=... Pudzianowski does have some semi-tangible background in Kyokushin Karate, a base striking style that didn't hurt Bas Rutten or Georges St. Pierre any.}} He began strength training at the age of thirteen. When he was fifteen, Pudzianowski also started training boxing, quitting after seven years. Pudzianowski debuted in professional sports at the age of sixteen, taking part in Polish Weightlifting Championship, in the bench press event.

In 2000 and 2001, Pudzianowski spent 19 months in Łowicz prison for assault. In an interview, he said he wanted to stop a "local mafia boss", and he got accused of assault and stealing his golden chain. Pudzianowski was incarcerated in prison in Łowicz. Several years later he arranged a resocialization meeting for the prisoners at the same penal institution.

On 1 May 1999 Pudzianowski entered his first Strongman competition, held in Płock, Poland. He achieved his first major success at the international level at the 2000 World's Strongest Man contest where he finished fourth in his first WSM competition. Due to his prison sentence, he did not return for the 2001 competition.{{Cite web |url=https://barbend.com/strongman-mariusz-pudzianowski/ |title=Is 5-Time World's Strongest Man Winner Mariusz Pudzianowski The G.O.A.T? |website=barbend.com |author=Connor Heffernan |date=21 December 2021 |access-date=15 March 2023}}

Pudzianowski returned at the 2002 World's Strongest Man and won his first title. He retained his title at the 2003 World's Strongest Man with an event to spare, winning by the largest margin ever achieved in the competition; across the seven disciplines in the final, he scored a remarkable four first place finishes, two second place finishes and one third place finish, resulting in the points margin between first and second (20) being greater than the margin between second and ninth (18). British strongman Laurence Shahlaei has since called this performance the most dominant victory ever seen at a World's Strongest Man event. In March 2004, he also became the Strongman Super Series World Champion.

He initially finished third in the 2004 World's Strongest Man but was later disqualified for breaching the governing body's Strongman Health Policy. He was forced to return his prize money, stripped of the International Federation of Strength Athletes points from the event, and received a one-year ban from competition. Pudzianowski did not dispute his banned substance violation and waived his right to have his stool sample verified.

In 2005, he made his return to World's Strongest Man event. After a slow start in the final's first two events, after which he found himself 7 points behind the leader in seventh place, he proceeded to dominate the rest of the event with five first place finishes in a row in the final five disciplines, winning the title with an event to spare.

In the 2006 World's Strongest Man contest, despite starting the final well, he eventually came second to Phil Pfister after the American won the final five events in a row. Pudzianowski regained his title in 2007, winning the final with one event to spare for a record-breaking third time. In so doing, he joined Jon Pall Sigmarsson and Magnus Ver Magnusson as the only men to win the competition four times. During the 2007 competition, however, Pudzianowski said that his target was to become the only person to win the event five times, and he returned to the 2008 World's Strongest Man the following year to try to achieve his goal.

Despite a serious calf injury suffered in the Polish Strongman Championship Cup of 2008 and further exacerbated during the WSM qualifying rounds, Pudzianowski still managed to win his heat and qualify for the final. However, it was clear his dominance of previous years was no longer in effect, as he only won one of the first five events in the final, and finished in fifth in two others. Trailing leader Derek Poundstone with two events to go, Pudzianowski managed to win the Plane Pull despite his injured calf to cut the deficit to just 1 point going into the final event. Matched up against Poundstone in the Atlas Stones in a 'winner-take-all' scenario, Pudzianowski managed to beat his American rival by the narrowest of margins to become the first and still only man to win five World's Strongest Man titles.{{Cite web|url=https://ironmind.com/news/Pudzianowski-Wins-5th-Worlds-Strongest-Man-Title/ |title=Pudzianowski Wins 5th World's Strongest Man Title |website=ironmind.com |date=14 September 2008 |access-date=15 March 2023}}

He competed in the 2009 World's Strongest Man competition the following year in Malta, trying to win a remarkable sixth title in 8 years. He eventually placed second after Žydrūnas Savickas returned to the competition to win the title for the first time. Following the competition, Pudzianowski said in an interview that he would not continue participating in strongman events, because of his career in Mixed Martial Arts, which required totally different training to strongman.

In 2009, Pudzianowski signed a contract with Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki – a Polish mixed martial arts organization – to take part in four fights.

He debuted as a mixed martial arts fighter on 11 December 2009, during the KSW 12 event in Warsaw, Poland, winning against Marcin Najman. Pudzianowski started throwing low kicks soon after the fight began. After several hits, Najman fell to the mat and Pudzianowski started delivering punches (a tactic known as ground-and-pound). Najman was forced to tap the mat, indicating he wanted to end the fight, which lasted for only 43 seconds. Pudzianowski collected 200,000 zlotys (US$70,000) for the fight.

On 7 May 2010, during the KSW 13 event, Pudzianowski won his second fight, against Yusuke Kawaguchi. The fight lasted two full rounds, with Pudzianowski winning by judges' decision. The fight was described as a "sloppy brawl". It was noted Pudzianowski had control over most of the fight, but was "neutralized" by Kawaguchi, and that, by the second round, he was looking "to be out of energy and breathing heavily".

On 21 May 2010, Pudzianowski went on to participate in the Moosin: God of Martial Arts event, where he fought former two time UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia. Pudzianowski fractured his metatarsus during the first round and then went on to deplete his stamina during the rest of the fight, which ultimately led to Sylvia defeating him via submission at 1:43 of round 2.

Following his loss to Sylvia in May, Pudzianowski signed to face former heavyweight boxer and kickboxer Eric Esch, better known as 'Butterbean', at KSW 14 on 18 September.{{cite web|url=https://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Pudzianowski-Draws-Butterbean-at-KSW-14-26096|title=Pudzianowski Draws 'Butterbean' at KSW 14|date=4 August 2010|work=Sherdog|author=Brian Knapp}} After several brief standup exchanges, Pudzianowski secured a takedown early in the fight and was then able to dominate Esch with ground and pound. Esch, unable to get back to his feet during the attack, tapped out to the strikes, making Pudzianowski the winner by submission at 1:15 of the first round. He came into the fight notably slimmer, having lost around 20 lbs from his previous fight. Many believe his large muscle mass to have caused his stamina problems in his earlier fights.

On 21 May 2011 Pudzianowski fought James Thompson at KSW 16, losing by arm triangle.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/blog/mma/post/_/id/2005/thompson-submits-pudzianowski-at-ksw-16|title=Thompson subs Pudzianowski at KSW 16|date=22 May 2011|work=ESPN|author=Tomasz Marciniak}}

In September 2011 Mariusz Pudzianowski started professional training in the well known MMA camp in the USA – American Top Team.

Pudzianowski fought on the KSW 17 event, which was held on 26 November 2011. He faced James Thompson in a rematch.{{cite web|url=https://www.sherdog.com/news/news/KSW-17-Fight-Card-35532|title=KSW 17 Fight Card|date=12 September 2011|work=Sherdog}} He won the fight via majority decision.{{cite web|url=https://www.mmamania.com/2011/11/27/2590293/ksw-17-results-james-thompson-loses-to-mariusz-pudzianowski-blows-a|title=KSW 17 results: James Thompson loses to Mariusz Pudzianowski, blows a gasket in post-fight interview (Video)|date=27 November 2011|publisher=mmamania.com|author=Geno Mrosko}} This decision caused controversy as Thompson had virtually full control in both rounds, and after the fight Thompson, who was clearly angered by the decision, took the microphone from the announcer and launched a verbal assault directed at the promotion in which he ranted: "F...g joke. Give Mariusz a big round of applause. Come on. What a f...g joke. I thought KSW was really trying to be serious. If you can watch that back and call that serious, then (looking at the promoter) you're f...d, and KSW is going down the f...g toilet." Two days later the promotion changed the result to a No Contest. During a conference held on 28 November, the ruling was deemed to be a "judge's error" and the fight result was changed.{{cite web|url=https://www.sherdog.com/news/news/PudzianowskiThompson-Rematch-from-KSW-17-Declared-NoContest-37502|title=Pudzianowski-Thompson Rematch from KSW 17 Declared No-Contest|date=28 November 2011|work=Sherdog|author=Tristen Critchfield}}

On 27 May 2008 Pudzianowski graduated with a master's degree in international relations. His thesis was: "Organizational culture in sports marketing in the world".

In an interview in 2009 Mariusz said that he treats the sport as a hobby. He is not doing it for money, as the money is relatively low in Strongman and MMA (he said that the winner of World's Strongest Man can get US$60,000, and the winner of Grand Prix in the US can get anywhere from US$100,000 to $150,000). He owns a school for bodyguards as well as real estate. Those are his main sources of money. Pudzianowski also owns a truck cargo company named Pudzianowski Transport.

Pudzianowski often appears as a guest singer in the musical group Pudzian Band, formed by his brother Krystian. Their first single "Zdobyć świat", was released in 2006. In 2009, the group released an album, Dawaj na ring (Go, hit the ring).

In 2008, Pudzianowski took part in the 7th season of Dancing with the Stars in his native Poland. He advanced to the final episode, but ultimately finished second, losing to actress Magdalena Walach. Pudzianowski was a contestant in the 1st season of the singing reality show Just the Two of Us in Poland. He was coupled with former Ich Troje singer Anna Wiśniewska.

{{see also|Rugby union in Poland}}

Pudzianowski is also a keen amateur rugby union player, and plays with Blachy Pruszyński Budowlani Łódź.{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}}

File:Mariusz Pudzianowski 2.JPG

Pudzianowski is liberal with his diet and is often seen eating chocolate, ice cream or burgers. On one of the World Strongman events shown on TV, and an interview for MTV, when asked about his diet he said: "I eat everything. I do not follow any particular diet. I eat anything I want, anytime I want".

{{blockquote|My energy comes from my diet. Breakfast is 10 eggs and two to three pounds of bacon. Between meals, I eat lots of candy. In the morning, it will be several 3 Musketeers and/or Snickers bars; I need them for energy. Lunch, at 1 or 2 PM, is a double meal of a Polish pork chop, sauerkraut and potatoes. An hour later, I work out, then take lots of supplements: magnesium, creatine,[sic] amino acids, all that stuff, and more chocolate. Dinner is whatever meat I can grab—steaks, pork chops, bacon—plus more sauerkraut and potatoes. At 9 or 10 PM, I work out again. Afterward, I have a protein shake and more chocolate. At 3 or 4 AM, I wake up and have more chocolate, then go back to sleep until morning.{{citation needed|date=January 2014}}}}

He said for MTV that he prefers Polish cuisine. When he has some time he often cooks himself, as he does not particularly fancy meals from restaurants. He often eats bigos, Polish soups, Polish sausages and typical Polish dinners with cooked potatoes, 200–300 g of meat and some salads (usually cucumber salad).

In an interview at the beginning of his world strongman career he said that his supplements, training, massages, etc. costs him approximately 6000 złoty (c. U.S. $2,000) per month.

• "Dominator" – an energy drink using Pudzianowski's profile is being distributed in Poland.
• Mariusz appeared in a Met-rx commercial which aired during the U.S. broadcast of the 2007 World's Strongest Man contest.
