Two giants from the world of strongman competition, former World`s Strongest Men Eddie Hall and Mariusz Pudzianowski, are set to face off in a significant mixed martial arts bout this weekend.
This super-heavyweight contest will see the two highly recognized former strongmen transition their immense power into the MMA cage.
Hall, who achieved the title of World`s Strongest Man in 2017, has been actively pursuing a career in combat sports. Following a boxing defeat to Thor Bjornsson, he made a successful transition to MMA with a win by knockout over the Neffati Brothers.
However, Mariusz Pudzianowski brings significantly more experience to this fight.
Pudzianowski, a record five-time World`s Strongest Man, has a long-established career in professional MMA, having participated in 26 fights prior to this upcoming bout.
In preparation for this highly anticipated clash, Hall has been training alongside UFC heavyweight contender Tom Aspinall.
