Alex Kurdecha is a new star of Polish professional armwrestling, who took 3rd place on the Professional World Cup “Zloty Tur” 2017 in the +105 kg weight class. This year, Alex has already managed to take part in one Vendetta armfight in Italy, where he won. But the main event in the Alex's career is still ahead and it will also happen this year. Thanks to his successes of recent years, Alex got a lucky ticket - a ticket to Vendetta All Stars - Armfight # 50, where he will represent Poland. And that is not all. Alex's rival will be the legendary Scot Mendelson himself - the legend of powerlifting and a cult figure for guys like Alex since childhood. ()
armpower.net: Alex, what do you think about the upcoming Vendetta All Stars - Armfight # 50?
Alex Kurdecha: I think this will be the main event in the world of arm-wrestling in 2018! It will be a mega show which everyone has been waiting for! This is worth seeing! I am happy to be a part of this festival of strength and will!
armpower.net: What do you think about your opponent? What would you tell him?
A.K.: Scot Mendelssohn is a great name in the history of sports and a bench press legend, he has broken 60 world records during his career. He also held the all-time world record in the raw bench press, regardless of weight class with 715 lb (324 kg) for 8 years. This man needs no introduction in the world of powerlifting. He is extremely strong and is going to use this strength at the armwrestling table.
A Big Battle is coming!
I've heard the name of Scot Mendelson from the time I started training in the gym! Scot is the Legend of Powerlifting! This man has incredible power and will of the champion! I respect him and I'm glad that I have the opportunity to stand with him at the same table! Scot progresses in arm-wrestling, develops both strength and technique: at the “Arnold Classic” tournament he fought with Michael Todd almost on par and it says a lot!
I wish Scot to feel the incredible spirit of arm wrestling in the upcoming Vendetta!
armpower.net: Alex, what do you think about the 6-round format of matches - Armfight?
A.K.: This is a professional format that allows an athlete to show all his best strength and will characteristics. In the 6-round duel, endurance and psychological struggle play a big role. This is a struggle of the body strength and the spirit strength! This is also a very rich format, which shows armwrestling as an interesting and entertaining sport.
armpower.net: Alex, thank you for the interview and good luck in preparing for the Armfight#50!
