Mariusz Pudzianowski wins in Poland, salvages Moosin fight with Tim Sylvia

It wasn’t the most exciting affair, but Mariusz Pudzianowski picked up his second professional mixed-martial-arts victory and assured a May 21 main-event fight with former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia hasn’t lost its luster.

Pudzianowski, a five-time World’s Strongest Man champion, scored a majority-decision win over DEEP super-heavyweight champion Yusuke Kawaguchi at Friday’s KSW 13 event in his native Poland.

Pudzianowski, who appeared to run out of gas early in the fight, meets Sylvia at “Moosin: God of Martial Arts,” a pay-per-view event that takes place in two weeks at the DCU Center in Worcester, Mass.
