is it just me or does his head seem like it was photoshopped on his body?

This may be the case here, but unfortunately it's very much how he looks in real life. As far as whom to go with, Burneika is a bodybuilder as bodybuildery as they come, but Najman is, well, a joke. There's a popular story in Poland how he knocked himself out going for a kick and before his fights people joke whether his opponent will manage to beat him before he beats himself. I'd pick Bob Sapp to tap him out or KO him in the first round.

Holy mother of Mary!!! Burneika's got some guns! I doubt he's ever gonna amount to anything great, but he does get an easy enough first fight against 0-2 Najman.

Burneika looks to be a professional bodybuilder. It's never a good sign when your mma training facility is listed as "Gold's Gym". Najman has competed in K-1.

If you havent seen Burneika's pre fight videos, you are missing out. 





I'm not sure if Najman is the bodybuilder-to-mma-fighter's gimmie fight (he also fought Pudz).  If Burneika has sponsored pre-fight youtube videos, it's likely that there is a marketable reason for him to win.  I'll have to give this pick some thought.

Yes, Najman has competed in K-1. And here's how it went. He's the guy in red trunks.

To everyone fortunate enough to don't know Marcin "El Cholesterol" Najman.

He is a definition of joke. In his MMA debut he was feeded to Mariusz Pudzianowski - fight lasted 44 seconds. Second MMA fight was against former boxer with one kidney and he tapped to forearm choke. Than he fought the same man in K1 rules and he pulled Bob Sapp ("leg contusion"). He is known in Poland from reality show antics and these act of incompetence.

Mr Burneika is some kind of celebrity due to his hilarious videos but he is not a fighter at all. As you see he is one big bodybuilder so is better to not expecting any conditioning at all.

Conclusion: classic display of freak show. I will be there it might be fun.

Haha, that looks like a awesome fight, those promo videos are pretty cool Burneika's kicks seem like they coming straight from hell...
