‘I want to fight the freaks’ – Eddie Hall’s next opponent as World’s Strongest Man makes incredible MMA debut

1 week ago 25

EDDIE HALL is eyeing more freak show fights after winning his professional MMA debut in spectacular fashion.

‘The Beast’ locked horns with fellow World’s Strongest Man winner Mariusz Pudzianowski at KSW 105 in Gliwice, Poland on Saturday night.

And Hall made incredibly light work of the five-time WSM winner, decimating him in 30 seconds to move to 1-0 in the sport.

MMA fans worldwide are now wondering how Hall will fare against stiffer opposition.

But the Brit bruiser has no intention of becoming a serious heavyweight mixed martial artist.

When asked what’s next for him, he said: “Maybe Mariusz will do the rematch with two-minute rounds.

“I’ve got no aspirations to be number one in KSW.

“That’s just not for me. I want to come and have fun.

“I want to fight my heroes. I want to fight the freaks of the world.”

Hall pummeled Pudzianowski into oblivion with a vicious barrage of hammer fists after tossing him to the ground as he fended off a takedown attempt.

And he was left somewhat unfulfilled by his quick night at the office.

He said: “I expected it to go eight minutes [the bout was set for two rounds of four minutes].

“I’ve done so much work on the ground wrestling on the floor, kicking, so I was expecting a lot more out of it.

“But don’t get me wrong, I am super happy to take that win.

The 30 seconds of madness? I’m happy with that and I’ll take that.

“I have got the hardest recorded punch on the planet and if that lands on your face, I don’t know who you are but you’re going down.”

Hall has previously ruled out a rematch against Thor Bjornsson, who beat him in the boxing ring three years ago.

He also discussed a potential clash with former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.

While the Stoke native admitted it would be “comical” to face off against UFC legend Conor McGregor.

Hall added: “I would love to fight Conor McGregor.

“I think the weight difference would be absolutely comical.

“There is weight classes for that reason. It would be dangerous, on Conor’s behalf.”
