It’s Butterbean Against the World’s Strongest Man!

Eric Esch, better and affectionately known as Butterbean, will battle The World’s Strongest Man, Mariusz Pudzianowski at KSW 14 in Lodz, Poland on September 18th.

This is the equivalent of a nice MMA freak show fight. I’m predicting Butterbean by gas out. As in from his rear end. But seriously folks… Butterbean is coming off a first-round loss to Jeffrey Kugel in March at the Xtreme Cagefighting Championship. In December of 2009, he submitted Chris Cruit at the first Moosin show via rear naked choke. He holds a pro record of 12-7-1.

Pudzianowski lost to Tim Sylvia at the most recent Moosin event, and has been rumored to fight Kimbo Slice in October at a Moosin card in Chicago. The loss to Sylvia was his first after opening up his pro MMA career with 2 straight wins, both at KSW events.

Here’s some vintage Butterbean from 2007 against James Thompson:
