Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 24, 2018 Author Paid Members Posted December 24, 2018 heads up... Not MMA related but there is a weird crossover between the two. The Worlds Strongest Man 2018 series is now streaming on My5. The main shows haven't started yet but i think new ones air daily. An Egg Shen Christmas tradition, im working my way through it despite knowing the results of the grand finals already. Quote
Paid Members BigJag Posted December 24, 2018 Paid Members Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) I seem to be struggling to find the episodes on My 5. All I can find is the WSM behind the Scenes documentaries from past years. I'm looking in the 5 Spike section. Have they begun showing the 2018 Heats? Edited December 24, 2018 by BigJag Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 24, 2018 Author Paid Members Posted December 24, 2018 its listed under Worlds Strongest Man 2018. There's around 7 episodes up so far. I dont think the main heats have started, but Britains, Europes, North America's etc. are up Quote
Paid Members BigJag Posted December 25, 2018 Paid Members Posted December 25, 2018 Cheers. I'm watching UK Strongman 2018 as I type. Quote
Paid Members BigJag Posted December 31, 2018 Paid Members Posted December 31, 2018 I haven't managed to find the time to watch much of this. A cousin did mention yesterday that there is a WWE guy in this years WSM competition. T Rex is the guys name. Can anyone confirm or deny this claim? I'm going to try and catch up with it today. https://www.channel5.com/show/worlds-strongest-man-2018 Not sure if this needs to be split off into Off Topic @Egg Shen. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 3, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted January 3, 2019 yeh there is a former WWE guy in it, id never heard of him though. Think he might have got no further than developmental. Quote
Paid Members BigJag Posted January 3, 2019 Paid Members Posted January 3, 2019 Which heat was he in? I've still got to catch up with it all. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 3, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted January 3, 2019 think he was in the North American open, its like episode 3 or 4 on My5. Quote
Paid Members WeeAl Posted January 3, 2019 Paid Members Posted January 3, 2019 I'm usually well on top of watching the WSM competition every Christmas/New Year, but this year I've only seen the first heat so far. Looking forward to watching the rest, despite knowing the result. I'll possibly get a chance this weekend to view them all on 5 on-demand. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 3, 2019 Paid Members Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Tying this back into MMA, anyone seen much of Mariusz Pudzianowski lately? I kept up with the big bastard’s career when he first jumped into MMA but completely lost track somewhere along the line. Looking up his record now, he’s still going in KSW, 12-6-1 and got kimurad in a round in his last fight in June. Has a few wins over names I recognise though like Rolles Gracie, Pawel Nastula (fought Big Nog and Barnett in Pride), Sean McCorkle, Butterbean (!) and of course Bob Sapp. Surprised Rizin haven’t got on the old dog and bone to him yet. He’d be perfect for them. Not even going to pretend I wouldn’t plan my day around a Pudzianowski vs Gabi Garcia fight. Imagine if they had a kid?! Edited January 3, 2019 by wandshogun09 Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 3, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted January 3, 2019 of all the weird moves into MMA other fighters made, Pudz has to be one of the most credible. The guy is an absolute superstar in Poland and is likely minted but to have fought 19 times and taken on all sorts of names is a testament to how seriously he takes it. Beats a lot of the no-hopers who stepped by for a single fight or two and got out of dodge as quickly as they entered. Props to Pudz. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 8, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted January 8, 2019 uh oh... by going off social media it looks like the seeds are being sewn for Tito Ortiz/Chael Sonnen 2. Dunno if Chael is still with Bellator, but if Golden Boy are to do a second MMA show its that one isnt it? Quote
jimufctna24 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 ESPN are doing a 30 for 30 on Tito and Chuck's rivalry. I recall the documentary the UFC made on their rivalry from years ago. Dana unsurprisingly came across as the most bitter of the three men involved. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 8, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted January 8, 2019 yeh, it was very pro-Chuck too from what i remember. Bad Blood it was called. Quote

Tito is pushing for it to be at MSG. As well as that, he insists that he is still retired even though he just fought Chuck, and is going to fight Sonnen. He seems to think because he was called out, that if he answers the challenge then he isn't breaking his retirement. Tito's gonna' Tito. Quote
