Brock Lesnar faces challenge from Strongman Eddie Hall despite "fearsome" reputation
Former world's strongest man Eddie Hall has expressed interest in a potential fight against former UFC champion Brock Lesnar, despite admitting his fear of 'The Beast Incarnate.' While Lesnar has not fought since 2016 and primarily focuses on WWE appearances, Hall has been active in boxing and MMA.
Hall, who is currently training for another MMA bout, believes that a fight with Lesnar could be a lucrative opportunity.
Speaking to Sun Sport, Hall said:
"Would I fight Brock Lesnar? I mean, God, if you ask me, my first response would be no. Why? That is a fearsome man... There's not many people on this planet that scare me. And Brock Lesnar is definitely one of those. But I probably would fight him if the money was right. Yeah, so why not?"
Eddie Hall continues to poke Mariusz Pudzianowski for MMA Fight
Eddie Hall has been actively seeking a challenging opponent for his next MMA bout. He believes that Mariusz Pudzianowski, with his impressive strength and experience in the sport, would be the perfect match.
Despite Pudzianowski's age (47) and recent loss to Artur Szpilka, Hall remains optimistic about securing the fight. In another interview with Sun Sport, Hall stated:
"I keep poking at Mariusz Pudzianowski, who's a big MMA fighter in Poland. So I'm just trying my best to get that contract done... Mariusz Pudzianowski is five-times World Strongest Man and we're very similar build, like 6ft 1, 6ft 2. His strength is really portrayed in his fights."
Hall has expressed confidence in his ability to compete at a high level in MMA, citing his strength and experience in strongman competition as advantages. He believes that his skills are well-suited to the cage and that he can hold his own against Pudzianowski.
While Pudzianowski has not fought since being stopped by Artur Szpilka in June 2023, Hall remains optimistic that he can lure the Polish star back into the cage
