It’s tough to know what to make of Moosin. Earlier this week, the upstart MMA organization was eyeing a bout between “World’s Strongest Man” Mariusz Pudzianowski and former internet brawler Kimbo Slice for their fall event. Then the very next day the company sent out a press release wherein the “face” of the company, Eric “Butterbean” Esch, harshly criticized the Polish strongman’s fighting abilities.

“I know he allegedly broke his foot in the fight against [Tim] Sylvia,” Butterbean is quoted as saying about Pudzianowski, “but he didn’t show anything before he quit.”

It only gets more out of hand from there, as Esch insists that Pudzianowski punches “like a girl,” and says he needs to prove himself before he gets another big fight with Moosin.

Fun stuff for a press release, but what gives? Is any of this for real, or are Moosin and Butterbean working an angle? To find out, I called up the Bean himself to try and get some straight answers.
