Legendary strongman Eddie Hall learned what it feels like to take a kick to the face ahead of his mixed martial arts debut.
Hall, who is best known for his world-record-setting 1,100 lb deadlift in 2016 and for winning the 2017 World’s Strongest Man competition, is gearing up for an MMA bout with Mitchell Hooper, a Canadian strongman, and kinesiologist who secured first place at the 2023 World’s Strongest Man competition in Myrtle Beach.
The bout is expected to go down at Lusail Stadium in Qatar on February 17, 2024, under the Finishers Championship banner.
