KSW 37 ‘Circus of Pain’ went down tonight, and boy, it was a crazy event…

When the former worlds strongest man Mariusz Pudzianowski started MMA, few believed he could make a run at it. Although ‘Pudzian’ has never been close to UFC level, he has become a huge star in his native Poland.

Competing for Poland’s biggest fight organization ‘KSW,’ Pudzianowski has built up a pro record of 9-5 (1 NC). Wins over Rolles Gracie Jr., Bob Sapp and UFC veteran Sean McCorkle have made Pudz quite the attraction in Europe.

KSW 37

The KSW 37 ‘Cricus of Pain’ show went down today, and it featured a host of local talent. In the co-main event was Mariusz Pudzianowski, and he faced Polish rapper Pawel “Popek Monster” Mikolajuw.

Yes, you heard it right, Pudzian fought a Polish rap star-turned MMA fighter at KSW 37. Not only is Popek a rapper, but he has tattooed eyeballs and ‘scarification’ on his face. Here’s a picture of Popek:

Unfortunately for fans of the eyeball tattoo sporting Popek, he got owned. Mariusz Pudzianowski looked a lot more patient and technical than he has in the past. Having clearly worked on his striking (troll face), Pudz put the rapper away with ease in the first round.
