Wielki Bu’s Background
Patryk M., known primarily for his appearances in freak fighting competitions, made headlines in 2022 when he debuted in boxing. He later transitioned to freak fight bouts, competing at events like Clout MMA and Prime Show MMA. M. previously served time in prison for his involvement in an organized crime group involved in prostitution.
