Eddie Hall KOs two brothers in one round in outrageous MMA debut
manchestereveningnews.co.ukStrongman Eddie Hall made a striking MMA debut on Friday night by defeating TWO men in a handicap match. Hall, aged 36 and crowned World's Strongest Man in 2017, returned to combat sports for the first time since his loss to his fierce rival Hafthor 'The Mountain' Bjornsson in a boxing match at the World Freak Fight League event in Blackburn.
He faced off against the Neffati Brothers, Jamil and Jamel, in a two-on-one match. After a slow start, which essentially saw the brothers avoiding Hall for the initial two rounds, the British powerhouse delivered a knockout blow to one of his opponents, securing a stylish victory.
After suplexing one brother to the ground, Hall defended himself from an attack by the other fighter before knocking the first brother unconscious with a powerful right hand.
The result was a vindication for Hall, who had become frustrated with the brothers' reluctance to engage in earlier rounds.
