1: Mariusz Pudzianowski
Those who follow the World's Strongest Man competitions will instantly recognize this name. The only man to ever win the holy grail of strongman 5 times, Mariusz Pudzianowski actually started training in kyokushin karate at age 11, before he discovered strength training. His passion for the latter took over and it paid off unimaginably, with him carving his name above all who have ever competed in the World's Strongest Man.

After a record 5th WSM title in 2008 and placing 2nd in 2009, the Polish behemoth retired from strongman to pursue MMA. He has spent the majority of his fighting career in his homeland's promotion KSW and holds wins over James Thompson, Oli Thompson, Bob Sapp, Sean McCorkle and Pawel Nastula.
Pudzianowski is a bit of a renaissance man - he holds a masters in international relations, has a school for training bodyguards, is a real estate investor, owns a trucking company and has even lent his voice to his brother's band, Pudzian.
