Eddie Hall, known as the former World’s Strongest Man, is paving his own way forward in the combat sports arena – as he transitions from his boxing career to the world of MMA.
However, the latest social media video shows that such a transition is far from being an easy one.
Hall is gearing up for an exciting challenge, as he is set to compete in a unique four-man eliminator MMA tournament.
This event is scheduled for February 17, 2024, and will be part of the “Finisher Championship” in Qatar – also marking Hall’s debut in MMA.
And, well, as Hall dedicates himself to an intense training regimen for his MMA debut, a recent sparring session brought a surprise with it.
During this session, Hall experienced a moment when he was knocked down by a head kick.
He later shared it via social media:

The reactions to the video were mixed. Some comments praised Hall for his response to the situation:
Hats off to Eddy. Didn’t get mad or anything.
Took it as clean as you’ll ever get.
Some were even doubting if the kick was “real”:
That’s either a fake fall, or your chin isn’t made to take shots.
That was a very light kick.
