Polish MMA promoter KSW
Federation fires back at ‘Butterbean’ about Pudzianowski
 WARSAW,
Poland (July 20, 2010) – Recent critical quotes by former Pride FC
fighter Eric “Butterbean” Esch regarding Mariusz Pudzianowski have
initiated a terse response from the 5-time World’s Strongest Man’s
promoter in Poland, KSAW Federation, which has been organizing MMA
events in Europe since 2004.
The popular “Butterbean,” who is a former pro boxer and sumo
competitor, publicly insulted Pudzian in the aforementioned press
release – saying, among other things, “as strong as he is, he (Pudzianowski)
punches like a girl’ -- and promised a knockout victory if he ever
meets the Pole in MMA competition.
KSW Federation has expressed its discontent with the opinions
formulated by ’Butterbean,” noting that as an official of MMA
promoter Moosin, Esch used Mariusz as the main attraction this past
May on its pay-per-view event held in Worcester, Massachusetts.
“I don’t understand the reasoning behind Esch’s statements,” KSW
co-owner Martin. Lewandowski said. “One would think it’s just a
publicity stunt. However, if Butterbean is really interested in this
bout, we can seriously consider it. But in order to do that, we need
more precise declarations from Esch.”
KSW co-owner Maciej Kawulski added, “’Butterbean’ is an MMA
superstar in the USA. Mariusz would have to deal with an extremely
experienced opponent, who’s also an uncompromising competitor in the
ring. His fighting style is very brutal and aggressive. If Mariusz
improves his conditioning -- I know he is working on it with
professionals -- this fight could end up being an unforgettable show
for all KSW fans. Once both sides express interest in the fight, KSW
Federation will try to book this bout.”
Moosin, based in South Korea-based, has promoted MMA shows in South
Korea and the United States and, in conjunction with the
International Taekwon-Do Federation, plans expansion into to China,
Poland and Australia.
