Eddie Hall, the former World’s Strongest Man, was victorious in his bizarre MMA debut as he defeated two brothers with a brutal knockout.
Hall, who was crowned the World’s Strongest Man in 2017 and has won Britain’s Strongest Man a record five times, weighed in at 367lbs (26.2 stone) for the fight, while social media influencer siblings, Jamel and Jamil Neffati, tipped the scales at 291lbs (20.7) stone combined.
For the first two rounds of the fight, which was held at the Georges Hall in Blackburn, the Neffati brothers trying their best to stay out of Hall’s clutches.
However, with fans starting to boo and less than a minute remaining, the contest sprung to life when the Neffati brothers both tried to take down Hall.
The two brothers went for a leg takedown but Hall gave two clubbing blows in response before he effortlessly picked up Jamil and powerbombed him to the floor.
Miraculously, Jamil got to his feet in an instant but he was met with a right hand from Hall which knocked him out.
The two referees immediately stopped the fight to check on a motionless Jamil before he was taken out of the cage.
Hall was the left with just Jamel in the cage and had a weight advantage of 224lbs (16 stone).
Jamel wisely opted to keep moving for the remainder of the fight but Hall ended up catching him and pinning him against the side of the cage.
Hall briefly looked up at the referee and held up his hand to suggest whether punching Jamel, who was curled up in a ball, was a good idea.
However, the referee did not step in and Hall threw four punches at Jamel’s head before the referee stepped in to wave off the fight.
