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.
