Former World's Strongest Man, Eddie Hall, competed in a freakshow MMA fight on June 7th and won in a crushing fashion.
PFL News: Women's boxing champion set to make MMA debut in June
The 350-plus pound strongman faced off against “The Nefertie Brothers” in the main event of the inaugural World Freak Fight League in Blackburn, England. But the two powerhouses stood little chance in the cage as the giants towered over them. They fought hesitantly in the first two rounds, but picked up the pace in the third and made things dangerous.
When the two men backed Hall up against the fence and tried to clamber to his feet, Hall landed a flurry of hammerfist blows to their backs and then effortlessly powerbombed one of them. The Hall twins regained their footing and went for a right hand, but Hall reacted faster and landed another, spinning his opponent's head and paralyzing him. The match was stopped shortly after.

This is Hall's second foray into combat sports: in 2022, “The Beast” lost a unanimous decision to weightlifting rival Hafþor Björnsson in a boxing match. Since then, Hall has been training with UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and can be seen collaborating with the professional fighter in a number of YouTube videos.

Luckily, UFC heavyweights won't have to be wary of “The Beast” inside the Octagon, as it's unlikely he'll drop below the heavyweight weight limit of 265 pounds.
