Video collision of a Titan who weighs 270 kg together: Eddie Hall knocked out the legend with devastating blows!
Former holder of the title of the most powerful man of the world, Eddie Hall (37), he prepared a sensation in his professional MMA debut, achieving a stunning victory with a knockout against the legend of sports and the five -time strongest man of the world, Mariusza Pudzianowski. The collision of a Titan on the KSW 105 event in Polish Gliwice lasted only thirty seconds.
Saturday evening at the Arena in Gliwice brought the long -awaited fight of two Strongman icons. The ‘beast’ entered the cage as a big outsider. Despite the imposing physical appearance and weight of over 150 kg, Hall’s martial arts was minimal, consisting of one boxing match against Haftthor Bjorsson (in which he lost) and bizarre 2-on-1 mma skirmish against the brothers Neffats.
On the other side stood Mariusz Pudzianowski (48), Polish icon and veteran KSW organization with 16 years of experience and 26 professional struggles behind him (until this fight Skor 17-9, 1 NC). Pudzianowski, a five -time winner of the World’s Strongest Man title, is considered a huge favorite. Hall was weighing as much as 30 pounds weighing, weighing 151.3 kg against Pudzianowski’s 121 kg, which made him the most difficult opponent with whom the Pole ever faced.
The fight did not last long
The fight itself was explosive and short. Hall started aggressively from the beginning. Already the first serious blow, a strong right directing over the temple, visibly shook Pudzianowski. The Pole stretched and instinctively tried to demolish the demolition to avoid further blows, pressing Hall against the cage fence.
However, Hall demonstrated its raw strength, by ease, defending an attempt to demolish and end up in the top position on the floor. From there, a cannonade of severe blows to the helpless Pudzianowski started. The judge was forced to jump in and stop the fight after just 30 seconds of the first round, declaring a technical knockout you can see by clicking HERE.
After the fight, a smaller controversy appeared. Hall admitted himself, apologizing that during the final series of blows on the floor, he inadvertently hit Pudzianowski several times in the nape of the neck, which are forbidden by blows.
– I raise my hands and apologize for hitting you in the nape. I do not approve of that and I would not like it to happen to me, ”Hall said. The Pole also complained of these blows, but the interruption was considered justified in terms of the situation in which it was. Hall also revealed that during a short fight he was able to break his hand.
Incredible transformation of ‘beasts’
This victory is the pinnacle of incredible transformation for Eddie Hall. After winning the title of the strongest man of the world in 2017 and setting up the world record in Deadlift (500 kg), Hall turned to martial arts. He went through a drastic physical change, removing about 45 pounds.
He rejected his famous diet of 12,000 calories a day to come to a combat weight of about 150 kg, which is far from his Strongman day when he weighed up to 195 kg. A similar path went through Pudzianowski when he moved from Strongman to MMA, significantly reducing weight from his former 145 kg (320lb).
Despite the victory, Hall admitted that he felt great fear and nervousness before entering the cage with an experienced Poles.
-Let’s be honest, I went to Mariusz Pudzianowski; He has 26 professional fights, five times he was the strongest man of the world. He is a fierce, fierce man … I have a lot of reasons for fear. Hall said, adding that it was difficult for him to accept the rule of a four -minute round that went to the hand more experienced fighter.
After an impressive victory, Hall said he had no aspiration to become a KSW champion.
– That’s just not for me. I want to come and have fun. I want to fight my heroes. I want to fight the ‘freak’ of the world. If a rematch is an option, I think I’ll accept it.
On the other hand, the defeat was difficult to fall to Mariusz Pudzianowski. The 48-year-old veteran hinted at a possible retreat.
– I’m not thinking about the future. I turned 48, almost 49. Sport is for young people. What is next? I don’t know. said Poljak, whose professional ratio has now fallen on 17 wins and 10 losses (with one undecided fight).
The victory over Pudzianowski for Hall represents redemption after the defeat in the boxing match from the second Strongman rival, Hafèóra Björnsson. His MMA debut was short, brutal and successful, leaving fans to wonder who the ‘beast’ would cause in the world of martial arts.
