Former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall has set the record straight on his future in MMA, distancing himself from the idea of facing ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley. While Hall has shown interest in stepping into the cage, he made it clear that Woodley isn’t on his radar for his next fight, despite the MMA community’s speculation.
In a recent interview, Hall was asked about his ideal opponent in mixed martial arts. The British strongman revealed that his dream fight would be against someone who would allow him to showcase his raw power and strength, but also offer a competitive challenge. “I’m not looking to fight Tyron Woodley,” Hall stated firmly, making it clear that while Woodley is a seasoned fighter, his style doesn’t match what Hall envisions for his debut.
Instead, Hall has expressed interest in facing an opponent who could provide an exciting and entertaining contest. Specifically, he mentioned wanting to face a fighter who has a similar build or someone with a striking style that could clash dramatically with his own. Hall’s strength and brutal knockout power have made him a popular figure in the world of combat sports, and he believes a clash with an opponent of comparable size or style would be the ideal way to introduce himself to the MMA world.
The focus on Woodley’s absence from Hall’s fight plans follows months of speculation and media rumors suggesting a potential match-up. Woodley, a former UFC welterweight champion and accomplished striker, has hinted at a crossover fight with Hall in the past, but Hall has since made it clear he’s looking for something different.
Fans are still eagerly anticipating Hall’s MMA debut, and many are intrigued to see who the strongman will choose as his next opponent. Hall’s transition from strength sports to MMA has captured the imagination of combat sports fans worldwide, and with his powerful persona and history of breaking records, his entry into MMA is set to be one of the most exciting storylines in the sport.
