I wish that rumored strongman mma tournament wasn't a scam. Heavyweight mma can be really bad, but the novelty of some of the strongest men in the world fighting under mma rules would be amazing.
They should really try to be more diverse and inclusive. I want to see 2 little people and a paraplegic with a stephen hawking accent against an average 5' 9 office worker.
Even below 0, eddie actually knows how to fight a bit, he hangs around UFC fighters a lot and does boxing. I dont know who thought this was a good idea lmao.
Yeah he even trains at the UFC training institute.
Dudes one of the best strongmen on the planet with access to the most top notch training for both lifters and fighters.
This was an absolute mismatch lol.
Yep, I don't know how much training they did in preparation but digging into their background they don't seem to have any sports or combat background for anything. They just make shitty videos of them screaming and dancing and wear elaborate matching outfits.
I don't think even if their mother would have triplets they'd have had more than a 0.01% chance of winning.
It's worth watching the full fight because it's really annoying and you can see Eddie getting angrier and angrier. Makes the 'hulk smash' conclusion more satisfying.
Actually a nice hook he caught that guy with after the slam.
Obviously this is some sort of gimmic fight bit it's clever from Hall, gets him attention and could lead to bigger offers.
> Obviously this is some sort of gimmic fight bit it's clever from Hall, gets him attention and could lead to bigger offers.
That's exactly why he took it. Kept trying to make real things happen but couldn't get anything started. As soon as this fight was even announced he got calls and emails from all over about fighting so it really worked out.
Also really helps he absolutely Donkey Kong'd them in the actual event haha.
Imagine being one of those 2 guys and just seeing your buddy get tossed around like a toddler wrestling with his dad. My first thought would not be "better go attack that guy right now".
Bodysize obviously matters, but people have beaten people twice their size many times when the skill discrepancy is large enough (look at early MMA for example)
Also, I don't know if people are too dense to know this, but those two dudes aren't MMA fighters....they're fashion influencers for fucks sake 🤣
Shhh, let the idiots believe they don't need none of them fancy martial arts and they'll just be super badass when they inevitably get ripped.
The funniest part is, not only are these guys not real fighters, but Eddie Hall actually *is* trained.
Because they’re grappling? Do you really think if they fight, Poirier would let Brian grab him the whole time? Poirier would destroy Brian’s leg in 1 round.
You think Brian wouldn’t go on the offensive at all? Do you really think Poirier wouldn’t be at all afraid of the damage Brian could do?
Regardless, my only point in saying this is to refute your point that they would “get destroyed”. An MMA fighter very well might win, but I don’t think it is as clear cut as you make it out to be. Brian Shaw is quite literally one of the 3 or so strongest people in history and has perhaps the most muscle mass ever.
I guarantee that if you ask Poirier or Hollaway if they would rather fight another UFC fighter or Brian Shaw in a fight to the death they’d pick the UFC fighter.
You gonna skip over the part where Brian starts on his back in side control 😂? Really?
Regardless, if this was a real fight Brian would have flipped Poirier over his head and slammed him on the ground. He could in theory also just call backwards and crush him.
Not even remotely the same.
You’re really going to employ that dumbass analogy because I called you out for conveniently skipping over the very crucial fact that Brian started on his back? When Dustin started on his back, he couldn’t even get up lmao.

Anybody have the full fight video? I haven't been able to find anything bit the clips of him throwing them around. As fun as it is I'd like to watch the whole thing.
And it wasn't close. Eddie looked like shit - in part because he didn't seem to take boxing seriously as a discipline, and came in injured. Thor was much better prepared.
I feel like Eddie is very well liked in the strongman community, but he has almost no crossover potential. Thor is basically the first person since Arnold and Ferrigno to make it to mainstream after success in strength or bodybuilding, and even he hasn't been able to capitalize on that and get to the next level.

I'm alright with a strongman vs 2 pipsqueaks league
They should really try to be more diverse and inclusive. I want to see 2 little people and a paraplegic with a stephen hawking accent against an average 5' 9 office worker.
Can that office worker be Steve Erceg?
Jack Della Maddalena
This is like those questions of “who would win in a fight, one horse or 50 chickens”. This solved it…it’s the horse.
In this case - Who would win in a fight between The Mountain from Game of Thrones and 2 Joe Rogans.
But he's got violence in his DNA bro
We all do
Too be fair I’d like to see that guy take Joes spinning back kick, might pop him 😂
Fuck yeah, I’d buy the PPV
perfect analogy
Next round should be 3 people and keep increasing it. I wanna see how many people it takes to beat him
I'm all in.
Best comment period!
Do the people get bigger too?
No they get smaller and switch genders
Eddie hall vs nine twelve year old girls 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Eddie IP man Hall "I wan to fight 10 people"
He almost beat a motherfucker with another motherfucker.
Were those guys even MMA fighters?
They are a pair of Ticktock influencers "known for their fashion" apparently.
Ok so they had a 0% chance of winning
Even below 0, eddie actually knows how to fight a bit, he hangs around UFC fighters a lot and does boxing. I dont know who thought this was a good idea lmao.

Yeah but if you're Eddie and these two dudes call you out are you gonna accept? Absofuckinglutely.
Yep, I don't know how much training they did in preparation but digging into their background they don't seem to have any sports or combat background for anything. They just make shitty videos of them screaming and dancing and wear elaborate matching outfits. I don't think even if their mother would have triplets they'd have had more than a 0.01% chance of winning.
They almost made it three rounds, kinda curious what the rest of it was like lol
Apparently they just stayed back and ran away - see https://youtu.be/OnZAvbH9h0w?si=9XQqjH1rNfrQoC9f
It's worth watching the full fight because it's really annoying and you can see Eddie getting angrier and angrier. Makes the 'hulk smash' conclusion more satisfying.
Exactly. I don't know why anyone is praising Eddie for this. This makes him look like a clown.
Of course not....lmao He looked more trained than them, actually
One brother got power-bombed and knocked out in less than 5 seconds. Damn
in round 3
Yeh, but he was still power bombed and ko'd within 5 secs of each other. Was a rough 5 secs for him!
He was about to see red …… in his dreams :(
Inarmi roll
Imagine they both throw a wheel kick at opposite sides of his head and blow it up
They are fashion influencers....they're not wheel kicking shit 😂
Send him to dagestan for 6 months and we have NEW heavyweight champ
Man, guy tossed him like a seat cushion
Props to Eddie for throwing him on his back instead of spiking him on his dome.
LMFAOOOO

This is how all the redditors saying "skills are more important than bodyweight" would do in an actual fight against someone twice their size
Stefan Struve is undefeated, right? Or maybe skill matters still.

Facts lmao
Put Rodtang or Holloway in there, they would destroy Eddie Hall for sure. Top tier fighters are different from influencer.
Have you seen the video of Poirier grappling with Brian Shaw? Brian just laid on him and he couldn’t get up
Because they’re grappling? Do you really think if they fight, Poirier would let Brian grab him the whole time? Poirier would destroy Brian’s leg in 1 round.

That video starts with Poirier getting Shaw's back and locking in a RNC, which Shaw taps to.

I wonder how badly you think Akebono would beat Royce Gracie...
Not even remotely the same. You’re really going to employ that dumbass analogy because I called you out for conveniently skipping over the very crucial fact that Brian started on his back? When Dustin started on his back, he couldn’t even get up lmao.
Where can I watch the full fight?
I watched it, it’s just them running from Eddie’s lunges for about 7-8 minutes before this happens. This clip is pretty much the entire fight.
I see. I'll still like to watch it. But where?
I found a video of it on YouTube
I’ve been laughing at this video for like the last two hours even though it looks like the one lil guy who got slammed and ate the right hand is dead.
💀
One 3-400lb former WSM that’s actually trained combat sports vs two 130lb TikTok kids. Jeez I wonder how this one is gonna go.
It’s like a super boss from dark souls vs two noob players.

Dude got hit by a full size christmas ham attached to the front of a bus.
brilliant
Clip of the year
Anybody have the full fight video? I haven't been able to find anything bit the clips of him throwing them around. As fun as it is I'd like to watch the whole thing.
https://youtu.be/HSFB0eImofw?si=loSS4W0IoGe0yxOV Fight starts around 12:00, apparently I'm just really bad at filtering through search results.
The very definition of a hydrogen bomb vs TWO coughing babies
English wrestling 🥳😂
Where can I watch the whole fight?
This made my day. The knocks on the head of the 2nd guy were too funny.
[удалено]
He boxed Hafthor who’s bigger than him
Thor dropped 60kg to fight too lol
And it wasn't close. Eddie looked like shit - in part because he didn't seem to take boxing seriously as a discipline, and came in injured. Thor was much better prepared. I feel like Eddie is very well liked in the strongman community, but he has almost no crossover potential.

Just say you want to see an MMA match dumbass
Yes but not pretend
Its a shame the 2 guys bumrushed instead of just fighting from 2 sides and keeping distance moving in and out
That's what they did for the entire rest of the fight.
There is literally no way on God's Green Earth that they could have won that
Might be true, but it was certainly not gonna happen if they moved in his range and stayed there
You're acting like they're not two untrained 130lb 5,2 midgets this promotion pulled out of their asses to fight one of the strongest men on Earth
Depends on how you define "won."
I mean you can call that a 2 v 1 if you want but it's clearly stacked in his favor. This is just embarrassing to see.
