Overview

  • Eddie Hall made a dominant MMA debut at KSW 105, knocking out Mariusz Pudzianowski in just 27 seconds in Poland.
  • Hall, weighing 334 pounds, has ruled out pursuing a KSW title and instead seeks entertaining and unconventional matchups.
  • He has humorously suggested fighting UFC star Conor McGregor despite their significant weight difference, emphasizing his focus on fun rather than rankings.
  • Hall credited UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and coach Andy Aspinall for their role in his preparation and success.
  • The UFC remains reluctant to create a super-heavyweight division, citing a lack of viable athletes, leaving Hall and other strongmen exploring alternative paths in MMA.
